I asked @aoc.bsky.social about why she posted this tweet, and she said “because JD Vance is a goober, man.”

1) I was having drinks with @gregrucka.com who is in LA for VERY SECRET REASONS and we were discussing this post, because he had just finished A Thing and I am in the middle of A Thing and write all day, literally 9 to 5, and we were talking baout how THAT felt ...

He’s surrounded by such wormy little losers at the White House that I think he was like wow a cool guy

'Four cones wins, but in order to get a cone you have to build a civilization. Which is where the spirit cards come in'

I’m starting to piece things together I’ve connected the dots

Is Schumer still the minority leader? Is Durbin still the whip? Is Cortes-Masto still a vice chair? Good Democrats -- rank and file, those committed to restoring party --must tell Act Blue and every candidate with hands out for the coming midterms -- that there's no cash coming without new leaders.

They literally killed a woman. And they pay $3M - that's mostly paid by insurance.

From Vonnegut. Breakfast of Champions. Today is Armistice Day. It's sacred.

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes. The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last. The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes. Why? It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

Musk wants to be a Renaissance man, but he's not even a paleolithic man. Paleolithic people made art, cared for the sick, & got together to share resources & ideas. Musk would have died alone, crying that no one saw the genius of his plan to monetize hitting yourself in the head with a big rock.

Lied about his age to go fight Fascism in the Pacific. Came back with PTSD and still managed to be a great father.

Sorry to do litmus tests but I want candidates who understand and say out loud that the big tech industry is a hive of evil charlatans who get rich pumping poison into the world

A List of Things Said to Have Been Ruined by Women 🧵

How the hell was @swordsjew.bsky.social not called to the stand as an expert witness?

Sauce Gardner, Quinnen Williams. Millionaires are fleeing Zohran’s New York after all

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

The extra layer of idiocy layered on multiple layers of idiocy is that Johnson & Johnson spun off Tylenol over 2 years ago.

A reminder: This was the CBO scoring the last time the GOP tried to pass an ACA replacement. www.cbo.gov/publication/...

I think any story about Trump's autocracy should be mostly about the people and institutions who failed to stop it. This guy isn't a political genius, everything else just happens to be rotten. 'Toddler Consolidates Power In Household' is a story about incompetent parents, not shrewd maneuvering

Greetings from the Dirksen federal courthouse, where Border Patrol Chief Greg Bovino is set to appear before U.S. District Court Judge Sara Ellis. What you need to know, for @wttw.bsky.social:

I swear, @pixelatedboat.bsky.social, it's like a staffer made him your Gorilla Channel but for Portland Riots bsky.app/profile/atru...

Verification asks: can we reliably establish what is true? Deliberation asks: can we debate and decide fairly together? Accountability asks: can we hold power to account? If one or more of those breaks down, democracy doesn’t just wobble, it hollows out.

He knows that within days these lies will be exposed. He just knows MAGA won't care. That's his audience. It's a cynical - and stupid - bet this won't cost him congress.

This was the point of MLK's "I Have A Blog" speech.

Those with sharp eyes might detect a subtle difference in NYT play last month of an event in one city, w 100,000+ attendees, versus play this morning of some 2500+ events w many millions of attendees, in all 50 states. See if you can spot it! /s Then you can find today's story on p A23

It's a hellhole. There are no stores. They're all boarded up. The only restaurants are operated by Antifa, where they are eating the cats. They are eating the dogs. Except at the big beautiful Trump Tower. There you can get a nice iceberg salad with 1000 Island. And a porterhouse.

Also: if you work for ICE, even if you’re not one of the ones arresting citizens or tackling 15-year-olds or zip-tying kids together and segregating them by race, you’re part of the mechanism making it happen, and you should suffer long-term social and post-regime-change consequences.

In a genuine WOW moment, this administration publicly acknowledges (perhaps for the first time) that an ICE officer violated procedure and will be taken off duty and subject to an investigation. This is a step in the right direction — I just wish it wasn't only because of such an awful viral video.

It’s actually the left no matter what.

Well, there's one explanation

1/2. Charlie Kirk frequently called for other people to be killed. Remember that time when Charlie Kirk called for Joe Biden to be executed? I do. He didn't even bother to posit any particular crime.

last night as i was trying to wind down for bed i had a unified theory of what the fuck just happened, and i wrote it down, and filed it under "well, i can't talk about this on main without sounding insane until and unless the perp gets caught and is provably a groyper" anyways, great news! (1/X)

The Stop the Steal flag is flying at half mast outside the Alito home today

This has the feel of when the entire American carousel society is devastated because its founder, Gary Knockwurst of Sheboygan, has passed after 64 years at the helm. Nobody actually cares except them.

The aging, latent police reporter in me can't help put pause to remark on the unforced error of the SAC in Salt Lake's FBI field office making the unforced error of announcing they have recovered a “footwear impression.” A shout-out to toss or destroy those shoes, ASAP. That's a detail you keep.

Let's do this, Chicago.

They should have "Did his own research" among the choices of cause of death on death certificates.

Mr. Inspector, WHERE IS MY WALLET

Probably Kristi Noem tossing out a small animal she just shot.

We used to post etymologies. We still do, but we used to, too.

He has kept among us in times of peace Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution & unacknowledged by our laws.

Very cool model measuring the candidate quality.

I was thinking of client red flags: the things that, if a potential client does them, I start out suspicious and on my guard. Some of these are about honesty, some are about narcissism and personality, some are about capacity to take legal advice. Here we go: /1

AI is now capable of designing a record-breaking deep sea submersible on its own. This marks a new age of exploration and I encourage all my fellow AI champions to build one and get in it so they can celebrate this achievement from the bottom of the sea.
