as usual, mahan, villaraigosa, and thurmond should drop out, they are running for vanity and name-boosting at the expense of californians at this point, and i won't forget it

I'm going to vote for @tomsteyerhq.bsky.social but if you're not a Republican, you need to either vote for him or Becerra. Keep Republicans mad and unemployed as God intended for them to be.

there are a lot of trump voters we aren’t ever going to convert and what we need to do is make them feel like the suckers they are and withdraw from electoral politics entirely

”We’refuckedbutdon’tsaythatword!”

"Get that f*cking sh*t outta here"

i CaN yElL At BoTh PaRtIEs, yeah, i know, you fucking moron, you’re what we call an “undecided voter” and that’s said with maximum contempt

bluesky — i am talking to you, all of you — need to internalize this and you need to tell everyone you know this. shampoo more expensive? republicans. burgers more expensive? republicans. beer more expensive? republicans.

Humanity was a mistake.

Oh

Hell yeah Chuck

“Collins said at the time that he wore No. 98 on the Boston Celtics and Washington Wizards as a reference to 1998, the year that Matthew Shepard, a gay student, was tortured and murdered by two men in Wyoming.“

I dont even wanna be in Shina anymore

Syndergaard is such a perfect avatar for the MAHA movement – a guy who probably cost himself several hundred million dollars via his persistent belief in quack medicine, most famously the time he refused an MRI while playing with a partially torn muscle then pitched again and fully tore it

This man was born in 1992. Hate ages people until they look like they’re cosplaying Kid Rock.

The Name of the Rose

Instead of trying to blame Trump, y'all should probably wonder why we have been so far at the bottom since we were kidnapped and forced to make this country. Trump is the result, not the cause

Hello computer please show me a news story summarizing the state of generational politics in this country

I am old and out of shape but so are they and I pray to a vengeful, wrathful goddess.

One of my favorite pics in US history, I only saw it at the Civil Rights exhibit at the Nobel Museum in Stockholm. A freed slave, sitting outside a slave auctions house, with his own gun, reading a book.

Inside of you there are two syndromes.

l can’t tell you what I would do if I ran into any of these people in the wild, but I can tell you my resolve to mete out justice tripled when I became a husband and a father.

"Bruce Lee wasn't content just to be a U.S. citizen," Thomas Lee writes. "He absorbed America. He reshaped America. And he exported parts of America back to the world, often without people fully realizing his American origins."

gotta wonder how much of the @mtsw.bsky.social's Trump theory of the case-- "they like him and want to help him win"-- applies to LA media and the weird MAGA reality guy running for mayor? Like, he'd definitely be more interesting to cover than boring Bass...

Every time I teach the MOVE bombing, students are shocked. And when I teach the aftermath involving an anthropologist who hoarded some of the remains and used them as teaching tools, they are even more shocked. And I teach in Pennsylvania. Even some students from Philly are unaware of this history

PabloReports: Ted Cruz called you a parasite and disparaged your work as a bartender. AOC: I think it’s funny that he’s been taking a government paycheck for 23 years but has the audacity to criticize someone who has come from a family that had to work their way up and earn their place here.

Supporters of Milwaukee Muslim leader Salah Sarsour view his arrest and detention by ICE as an escalation of the Trump administration’s crackdown on Pro-Palestinian speech.

Interesting. Pratt is running his L.A. mayor campaign donations through an accounting firm 140 miles from L.A. in this building in my home town of Imperial Beach, CA, run by the wife of former GOP Congressman, slum lord, and Jack Abramoff pal Brian Bilbray. Interesting story about Bilbray…(1/2)

Yep. I didn’t leave X the day Musk bought it, though I considered doing so. But it quickly became apparent that there could be no “stay and fight to win.” It was more like “stay and fight, cook your own brain in slime, probably end up significantly less mentally well than you were, and still lose.”

Michael Bay’s Fitzcarraldo

LA has less crime per capita now than it did in 1955 and the biggest risk big strong manly exurban men take coming here is the drive in.

What they really need is just one immigrant that various politicians could torture on live TV every once in a while to boost their numbers and get on to the other stuff they want to do. Maybe call him Omelas.

Dessert is not a right. It’s a privilege.

Tom Takubo, a Republican state senator in West Virginia, faced attacks for—well, I can't summarize it, you can see the image. Takubo won tonight.

This alone would be the biggest political scandal in United States history. And given the last year+ that’s really saying something. Brazenly stealing from taxpayers. Again, and again, and again. Bigger, and bigger, and bigger.

Swap out those last two words for “go fuck themselves” and you got yourself a statement.

Damn. This sucks. www.espn.com/nba/story/_/...

Someone on Twitter pointed out that Ryan Lochte now looks like Kash Patel, so I checked Instagram, and yep, he does.

i am completely willing to believe that this guy is dead and they are covering it up

this is an actual Bluesky Rule: if you have ever so much as exchanged a single like, you are required to hold up the book in the shop and say "hey my friend wrote this"

There's a lot of concerning new reporting about Vitamin K refusal but unfortunately that's been going on for a while. Here's one of the best pieces I've read about it, from 2019: www.nybooks.com/online/2019/...

Today's writer scam email purports to be from a magazine whose editors I know personally, using the name of one of my actual publicists, who definitely is not working for that magazine. Also, take note: Scam emails are now coming from @proton.me accounts.

It’s clear why Israni donated to a slew of anti-Muslim, pro-Israel right-wing candidates. She just won’t admit it. #CA14

Vulture: <walks up the aisle of the plane with a raccoon carcass, flies buzzing all around it, and stuffs it into the overhead> Bill Maher: Oh god. What's that smell? Vulture: My carrion <everyone in the section laughs> Bill Maher: I don't get it Vulture: oh my god shut up Bill, drink your soda

Copying the Republican idea that originated in the 1980s and that remains literally the only agenda item that party entirely stands behind is a blaring sign of absolutely no ideas in the mainstream of the Democratic Party IOW, nobody's voting for Democrats to do tax cuts when the GOP exists
