"Even more lucrative!" That's how all honest politicians frame their policy moves, right?

Goob morning

Fisher update: The ASPCA vet began her call today by saying "I LOVE HIM" and said he's feeling well enough to bother everyone for attention. Just got these photos.

He spoke to my journalism class when I was at Macalister and laid out his exact strategy for “owning” interviews and it was essentially “read before and listen during.”

“Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.”

Pray to God that normies learn one thing from this disaster: You don’t have to choose between groceries and human rights. You have cheap eggs and allow trans people to exist. Completely compatible.

This is an absolutely terrific piece from @texastribune.org and reinforces my belief that the best coverage of right-wing cancelations occur at the local level, after years of the national media focusing on threats from the left. www.texastribune.org/2025/09/19/t...

i am seriously begging democrats to bring the same smoke to this story that they brought to jimmy kimmel being indefinitely suspended

The incredibly talented @irathethird.bsky.social lost everything in an apartment fire this week. His GoFundMe is *almost* fully funded! Just a few bucks could make a difference! gofund.me/94b3f3cd6

I prefer to think of the Rapture as a sex thing.

Negativity bias has a bunch of people immediately gravitating to believing the worst about folks. YET in reality, most people are pretty decent and are trying to live their lives. Folks buy into the "people are terrible" hype and that only serves other terrible people.

Happy birthday! This is Delorean, my 20th foster dog, on his way to his furever home on Sunday. I'll miss the big lug but he's going to have the best life.

White people can move the needle if they want. Y'all got Jimmy Kimmel back on the air boycotting, you can throw some of that expendable income to support the vulnerable through mutual aid, you can make some moves against fascism instead of performatively bemoaning what you think doesn't affect you.

It’s my birthday. For years, I stayed off social media for my birthday bc I hated fielding the good wishes. It’s uncomfortable! Today, an experiment: maybe wishing someone happy birthday isn’t about *me,* it’s about putting a little more joy into the world. And we need that more than ever.

There's too much liquid in the baby.

1. Turns out caving to fascists is a terrible fucking business model, never cave to fascists, not even once 2. I am happy this is resolved because now I will be able to watch the final episode of Alien:Earth www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/j...

For many of the neurospicy among us, everything is an autism announcement.

TCU #24 in AP poll 💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼 🐸😈

American history hasn’t re-examined Woodward’s complicity with the FBI in taking down Nixon.

As CNN offers daylong saturation coverage of the podcaster’s funeral, I went back and checked to see how CNN covered Melissa Hortman’s memorial on 6/28, where Walz spoke and Biden/Harris attended. It got about four minutes during the hours it was happening—less than Jeff Bezos’s wedding that day.

I would accept this as a birthday gift.

If they're going to try and retcon Charlie Kirk, then we should try to retcon him too.

Fellow sober folks, a reminder: However bad things get, you don’t have to drink over it.

The anti-vaxx ACIP is using the same strategy as the anti-abortion groups. Small changes that seem insignificant or "common sense" that are actually meant to erode trust, chip away at access, and abolish vaccines. These folks aren't using science to make decisions. They are deliberately ignoring it.

I’ve got to stop being surprised by the progressive radicalization of normie conservatives. At some point my mind will be so blown it won’t come back together.

JIMMY FALLON: [visibly sweating] h-h-hey everyone, did you guys see that Jimmy Kimmel Live got taken off the air? y-y-yeah, see, see, it was because he [handed index card off screen] isn’t a tough and smart guy like Donald Trump, who definitely should have a talk show instead of me, who also sucks

AND THEN THEY LOST. THEY ALL FUCKING LOST TO REPUBLICANS. IT WAS FIFTEEN YEARS AGO AND THEY NEVER GOT ELECTED AGAIN BECAUSE PEOPLE JUST VOTED FOR THE REPUBLICAN. DO ACTUALLY NOT FUCKING COMPREHEND WHY THAT HAPPENED

Post now deleted, more or less confirming it was a DM. Great opsec!

What kind of food wrapper would your bribe come in?

“I have reviewed over 30 <strike>statements and</strike> posts.” Fixed.

Of course he just talks like this.

A paper bag full of cash, my god, these dopes give cartoon villains a bad name.

lol I am an NYT Connections champion and have no retirement, that’s what my precocious childhood got me.

Demand the video.

I know the assassination amps things up a bit but considering the extreme side of the political spectrum Kirk occupied, this is a little like Obama going to a Chapo guy memorial. Except he wouldn’t be allowed in.

GIVE EM HELL T😈🐸C👿🐸U👿🐸

Lack of interest on this website for SMU-TCU is appalling.

Smear smoooooo

My most Gen X complaint is that this question ignores our existence.

Considering the popularity of abortion rights, this is actually shrinking the tent.

People who wrote War of the Worlds reviews starting to feel real worried right about now.

The most generous read possible here is that Smith is pointing out that in this new environment fame and privilege aren’t the protections they used to be… and that’s actually a good point! But, hm, saying the privileged are the “most” vulnerable is… a take.

A reminder that no matter how high-minded or urgent the debate, to argue on BlueSky is still a version of "someone is wrong on the Internet." At some point, you gotta back off and just take action based on your best understanding. Maybe read about the issue! You can always argue more later.

This is probably a lot more effective than cancelling your Hulu subscription tho of c you can do both.

and a retired meteorologist shall lead us

Every headline talking about Kimmel being suspended for his “Kirk comments” is journalistic malpractice. He was suspended for comments about MAGA opportunists exploiting Kirk’s death, after the FCC chair issued a Mafioso threat.

just resurfacing this post to note that the next job this Republican operative took after "Political Director of CBS News With No Journalism Experience," was "Vice President of Policy Communications, The Walt Disney Company," a position she currently holds lol

My unpopular opinion is that you don’t have to engage in every spontaneous boycott you’d like to. Maybe you don’t have the bandwidth to make the change or develop a new habit. Do what you can. Maybe a little bit more than you think you can! Discomfort can energize. But moral purity is exhausting.
