The "facts don't care about your feelings" crowd crying and shitting their pants when asked to provide facts for their college essays instead of feelings

If @columbiauniversity.bsky.social's Acting President doesn't want replies, she shouldn't send emails that can receive replies.

The opposite of the Moms for Liberty wave should get more attention

Lmaoooooo 💀

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF

Holy shit seriously???

Trying to get ahead of that Joyce Carol Oates dunk

No one will ever sum up Bari Weiss's career more succinctly than "what's the point of standards"

We were looking for a good quote to set up the satire here, but nothing clicked. Then Douthat’s op-ed dropped late morning, and well, thank you New York Times yet again. www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/yea...

So maybe the takeaway from all this is that orange man is, in fact, bad.

the right turned clinton saying "deplorable" into a decades long controversy. Trump literally shits on the bulk of Americans and all we can muster is, "oh you should be thinking about something else instead"? come on.

Damn FINALLY. This is what they should ALL be saying when asked dumbass questions like this.

my god, what a paragraph (from tonight's @hcrichardson.bsky.social)

In addition to Garland being too much of a coward for the moment, freezing the investigation before the midterms, when Trump was NOT on the ballot, seems kinda like a tacit admission that the entire Republican party was complicit in the crimes being investigated.

Zohran caught in LIES: Mamdani claims to have "loved Final Fantasy III" when he was growing up. yet research indicates that the game he played was in fact the SIXTH Final Fantasy game

I think that the next step in the civil resistance campaign to Trump should be inflicting punishment on elites and institutions who cave. They need to understand that there are costs to compliance

My favorite part of this has to be when she says "well you should KNOW I meant it to be off the record because I used signal self deleting messages". Of course, everybody knows that's the universal sign for shady secret things you shouldn't repeat. bsky.app/profile/anna...

... Says the guy preventing her from doing that.

What the actual fuck Please tell me this is fake

The Declaration of Independence specifies 27 grievances with King George III and Britain. Donald Trump and his regime have committed at least 20 of those same offenses highlighted in yellow. #NoKings

We could probably create a whole feed of the things Mike Johnson haven't seen bsky.app/search?q=fro...

I've been thinking about that a lot. Machine learning is fundamentally an optimization problem. And LLMs were optimized to make humans believe they are intelligent. What if the most efficient way to do that is to con them? Hack their psyche and break their brain.

This is it @brendelbored.bsky.social . This is your time to shine.

Almost like we founded the entire country on opposing this exact sentence.

JD Vance can dismiss the Young Republicans as a college group chat. But let's be clear: the group chat includes a State Senator, a Trump Admin official, and multiple Republican staffers — and some of the worst comments came from folks associated with Mike Johnson, Elise Stefanik, and Mike Lawler.

It worked on test

But hunter biden

The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

i can’t believe it was this easy to reclaim the frog meme

We really hit on something with the 12 year old theory of governance because that’s really the entire political project. It’s being 12 years old and not even normal 12 year olds but real pieces of shit 12 year olds

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

"hand-to-hand combat with antifa every night"

Let it never again be said that a woman with no real reporting experience who fell for a Twitter account called "Official Antifa" cannot be the head of a huge news organization

Ok that's the funniest thing I've read in a while. It's about Yglesias but is true in a more general sense.

The real reason he wants to send in the military - ordinary citizens aren't having any of this shit.

Uhhhh that sounds pretty bad. Gork is this bad?

"This Court has listened carefully to the reasons given by Öztürk’s captors for masking-up and has heard the same reasons advanced by ... ICE. It rejects this testimony as disingenuous, squalid and dishonorable. ICE goes masked for a single reason—to terrorize Americans into quiescence."

MAGA's arrogance, thinking that there was no reason for anything that they want to destroy, no wisdom that ever predated them to make things how they were.

They really thought this was going to make them look strong. Totally out of touch with reaity.

DOJ’s attempts to charge these cases in DC and LA have been resoundingly unsuccessful. Grand juries have rejected a huge proportion of the attempts to indict. One case in LA that went to trial as a misdemeanor recently ended in acquittal

I think the Trump admin assumed no one would try to find out who the people on the boats they blew up really were

Evil. That's the only word that can accurately describe these people. I hate to go there, but it's accurate.

"I know I cannot continue my campaign," Mayor Adams said at the press conference. "Additionally, I have other priorities I'll need the free time to pursue. That leprechaun isn't going to cook itself."

Ladies and gentlemen, the meritocracy

Just got to say, it's a great time to be a criminal in this country.

Serious question: why would the Democrats in Congress bother discussing anything about the budget with Republicans when the budget doesn't have to be followed?
