Was Catturd there too?

Racist crooks

don’t mean to be flippant but the world needs e-women and it doesn’t need e-girls

I don’t understand how my reply constitutes a misreading of the post here and why it was removed. Sometimes I think Twitter PTSD plus the tools Bluesky gives us—great tools!—encourage hair-trigger responses.

Going through this thread, feeding the ol’ like ratio.

On the plus side, new people to block!

“the combat decisions he has made” is some incredible Blue Falconry lmao

Dear reader, it’s because your name is Chilly Willy, and you’re frozen through and through.

NATO thinking is stuck in a Rutte.

school of rock is the heartwarming tale of one man who, using nothing but the song in his heart, turns two dozen high achieving fifth graders into your freshman year weed dealer

Watched a cozy YouTube retrospective on the wonderful cheese that was Gil Gerard’s Buck Rogers show, and I really want it to get the Galactica reboot treatment.

feels like you’re less concerned about the rainforest and more eager to have permission to commit violence

Former Honduras President Juan Orlando Hernández, sentenced last year to 45 years in prison for his role in helping drug traffickers move hundreds of tons of cocaine to the United States, was released from prison following a pardon from President Donald Trump, his wife announced Tuesday.

Look, Bluesky, am I thrilled that this is a gift in Trump’s name? Absofuckinglutely not. Is it a good reason to stop buying Dell? As good as any! Could Michael Dell increase his pledge tenfold? God, yes. Would that increase make a massive improvement in these kids’ lives? Not really, no.

New by me: "The only person in this story with real power is RFK Jr., and he is—I cannot believe I am typing this sentence—maintaining a dignified silence. He doesn’t need to 'reclaim the narrative' because he’s too busy helping kids catch measles." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Cons of the neocon true believers: they were willing to kill for constitutional democracy. Pros of the neocon true believers: they are ready to kill for constitutional democracy.

See? Billy Kristol gets it. I don’t know why Hakeem doesn’t get it!

Honestly if Bradley cared about his reputation at all he should resign and air all the dirty laundry he has access to. At this rate he’s going to get fired by Trump anyway.

Thread.

Circling back to the issue of agency, a key theme of the new right is an echo of the old—they believe some people are fit only to be enslaved, and any attempt to resist that state of affairs is condemned as upending the cornerstone of civilization. Basically, it’s this guy all the way down.

I agree with the poster here that they constantly deny Ukrainians any agency but I’d like Kari Lake to explain how a US senator could lead an insurrection in a foreign country.

There is absolutely no bottom. They will kill and murder and steal and break the law and laugh at every rule and institution until they are stopped. They think they are all-powerful and all conventional rules of morality and legality do not apply to them.

🇯🇵🇿🇼 Love this story of how a Japanese publisher of manga is scouting for talent and opportunities in Zimbabwe and other African countries:

Decline and Fall

China’s year at the movies has been bookended by two animated sequels—Nezha 2 and Zootopia 2.

Hapoened to be googling to see if a short review I wrote recently had been published… Google’s “AI Overview” decided to tell me about two books I supposedly authored in 1998 and 2008 - needless to say I wrote neither of these, they’re pure invention - title, date, content!!!!

Next week the House E&C Committee is looking to run something of a shock and awe campaign, debating at least 19 bills that they say are related to "protecting kids online." Most of which are actually about censorship and control. Don't buy the framing. It's always the same damn thing.

i will never tire of this meme

ICAC alleges that, in order to replace mesh netting damaged by typhoons, "someone" purchased substandard mesh netting from a local supplier at the price of $54/roll in july. And used up-to-spec mesh netting only at the bottom of the scaffoldings as a cover

Mother Nature is a cliche sometimes.

One weird trick diplomacy. You'd think we'd have learned, but you'd be wrong.

This is so cool.

This is infuriating on so many levels, but partly because it ignores Congressional intent to penalize immigrants who followed the rules. And partly because these are people who have done nothing wrong beyond trying to negotiate a broken system. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/u...

Happy 88th Birthday to 🇬🇧British film director Ridley Scott, born #OnThisDay, here with Ian Holm and Sigourney Weaver during a break in filming a scene on the ‘Mother’ set of the science-fiction horror film "ALIEN" (1979) at Shepperton Studios in England 🎬 20th Century-Fox 🛸

Asking my Pluribus chaperone important questions like “Who committed the Max Headroom signal intrusion?” “What was Kash Patel up to between January 6th and January 20th, 2021?” “Did any of my friends have an unrequited crush on me?”

Look at our negotiating team dawg, we ain’t never preventing ww3

An important part of arresting the consolidation of authoritarianism is convincing corporations and institutions that Trump will eventually be out of power and at that point they’ll face consequences for their actions and by that standard this is a good sign

“[Eventually] humanities depts will be forced to accept AI-authored assignments, as part of revised university policy to cooperate with these billionaires. It's already happening, and our response needs to be decisive. Because our students' ability to *think* is at stake.” really important thread ⬇️

It’s pretty wild that every time the right warns us of an evil conspiracy by elites, from pedo rings to postnational cabals, that conspiracy turns not only exists but turns out to have Trump’s greasy fingerprints all over it.

The X-Files is genuinely a timelessly good show, because when not focusing on overarching conspiracy plot, they would really just focus on a single concept and quite crucially, it would cast an incredible actor to center the episode around who would be utterly god damn captivating to watch.

Admiral Bradley is dead wrong here. He should be tried.

Unlike Trump 1.0, no one has demonstrated the competence to pull Trump 2.0 aside and tell him his ideas are impractical. If they did they could’ve convinced him to build the Trump ballroom in a separate location not unlike Jiang Zemin’s theater in Beijing. The architect would’ve been onboard!

How it started / How it’s going

i feel like this would be a really good conversation to have BEFORE bulldozing the fucking white house

The subcategorization/tropefication of popular fiction has been very bad in general, both for authors and readers.

chat are we cooked

Decent answer, but this is why CNN needs experts on the law of the sea on, instead of the usual political commentators. They could easily explain why this violates maritime rules.
