This is in fact the key problem I have with an anti-vax HHS

we've got some ICE shit going down in our little town today and it took like three minutes for a convoy of wine moms to start chasing them around town. normies hate this shit and are putting in the work

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

I set up a GoFundMe for former @pghcitypaper.com staff. This will be used to help us submit last year's stories for awards, defray loss of income and insurance, and support laid-off single moms with childcare. Chip in if you'd like:

If you or a loved one suffers from Drive Through Aphasia, Ordinex(TM) can help

The same editorial board described Seattle’s mayor raising taxes to pay for childcare as a totalitarian power grab

I don’t live in the same universe as these people, let alone share a party

You should be embarrassed to be a member of congress and issuing anything other than impeachment resolutions. You're in the model UN. They should give you legos and a propeller hat

Now that they’ve started a war I’ve completely forgotten that they’re pedophiles.

Power’s out 33rd& Greenmount & west of there. Stoplights out, people driving about as great as you’d expect. Be careful.

@repjohnnyo.bsky.social feel free to edit or draft your own, but impeachment articles need to be filed over these grossly unlawful strikes against Venezuela.

There are multiple national political commentators who earnestly predicted that Eric Adams would be a legitimate presidential candidate and a national figurehead of the Democratic party by now and those commentators still have careers somehow.

Hell yeah

I was correct about speed limits

A reminder: DJTrump was president in 2019.

Anyone in America holding the belief that the President is a sovereign should be immediately stripped of their citizenship. This is essentially the only thoughtcrime I subscribe to. The sovereignty of the United States of America rests in its citizens, expressed via the House of Representatives.

"Did you see what Mark Cuban posted? Oh did you see the clapb—" You shake yourself awake in the cold North Atlantic water. You are not online. It is July of 1858. You are a baleen whale, and you have changed your mind. The future most not come to pass. The telegraph cable must break.

They're ratatouilling the lobsters over here

Changing this label would have required finding someone who understands FORTRAN at a level that NORAD could not afford.

Virginia's Senate Majority Leader told Bolts that the legislature will advance a constitutional amendment in January to let Virginians vote once they're released from prison. The state constitution currently strips people of their voting rights for life.

It's almost like they're intentionally poisoning the record and associated information environment so no one will be confident in which evidence is trustworthy and which is fake

And now someone has uploaded a version that wasn't filmed off a TV. There's also the torrent link there, which is probably the fastest way to download the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT if you want to save the file locally to your computer.

FFFFFUUUUUUUUU

CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.

Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

God this is such a fucking bummer. The thing they think DEI is is actually what they are. Bari Weiss's talents are: getting rich people to give her money, and cosplaying as a "journalist" by using centrism and faux objectivity language to obscure her persistent bias and sizable incompetence.

Thinking today about this sentence: "Every $100 increase in median rent is associated with a 9 percent increase in the estimated homelessness rate, according to a 2020 report by the U.S. Government Accountability Office."

Our usage, under near identical weather conditions, is down 35 therms from last year and our bill (which was already a gouge) went up by $50 for this period compared to last year If you look up "playing in our faces" on urbandictionary.com it's just the BGE logo

Every trans person--including every trans child--deserves the chance to be fully themselves. I'm so sick of seeing trans folks harmed repeatedly and unrelentingly, against all reason and scientific precedent. To my trans friends--I'm so sorry the world keeps trying to dim your light.

Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.

We library folk do a good job talking about all the free services we offer, but I don’t see many of us talking about how libraries are one or the only places where you can use services without being advertised to.

“It wasn't too long ago that such streets as Eutaw place, Park place and Broadway had charming parks... Because the automobile once again seemed to have taken precedence over everything else, and because of the rush to the suburbs, the city was sadly neglected.” 1966

I was up with the baby and the city collected recycling on my block at like 345 am. I thought their super early runs were to beat the summer heat but apparently they stayed with it?
