Friday mood!

CHIEF: dracula is in our sights. Take the shot! THE WOKE GINGER: I can't, Sir. I'm Woke! ME (watching through binoculars): He's woke! He wont do it!

If people in the White House thought the war was going well I don't think JD Vance's allies would be leaking stories like this www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

Misogyny--much more than racism, Islamophobia, or any other hatred--is the core unifying force of the modern right. nymag.com/intelligence...

Ernie Anastos, the longtime TV anchor and talk show host whose Everyman personality and sturdy voice defined how New Yorkers received their news for over four decades, has died at 82.

JUST IN: Judge Shah in Illinois has blocked the Trump admin from yanking $600m in public health funds from four blue states, saying it appeared to be a “contrived” and illegal effort to punish them for sanctuary immigration policies storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Timmy Chalamet is just mad that they're not named ballét and opéra.

I don't like people calling Carolyn Bessette Kennedy "CBK"...makes me think of California Pizza Kitchen.

Because no one who wasn't a Twitter addict would ever end up here, something that is different about Bluesky is that quote-tweet ratios on news stories are insane. Everyone has to get in their little comment!

Solution for the male loneliness epidemic? Maigretmaxxing.

The hours of videos provide fascinating, or perhaps horrifying, insight into the thinking of someone inside DOGE.

Media mystery of the last year: What happened to Maggie Haberman? She got weekly or daily scoops during Trump's first term, now barely publishes.

This is Nathan Cavanaugh, another DOGE staffer explaining how he flagged grants at NEH for "DEI" which would be reviewed for termination. 404 Media has reviewed hours of this footage and we'll have more soon. Part of a lawsuit by @acls1919.bsky.social, @modernlanguage.bsky.social + @historians.org

This Weeks Onion Magazine: Still Supreme! Iran’s New Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei On Faith, Fitness, And Supremely Good Sex After 50

Did you know that the NYT has a series interviewing scientists who were fired or lost funding because of Trump? According to many popular Bluesky accounts, this couldn't possibly exist! www.nytimes.com/2026/03/12/s...

What they don't tell you is that "the S&P 500" stands for "the Shit & Piss 500"

i, for one, am delighted that we finally have a definition of “woke”

"You and everyone you have ever loved being cast into the Cave of Nightmares? It’s hard to hear, but this alone could add as much as $0.25 per gallon."

James Fishback, the antisemite Groyper running for governor of Florida, was a Free Press contributor just two years ago

Sometimes I can't help but think that there's gotta be more to life than chasin' down every temporary high...

people joke about what experiencing even the banalities of modern society would do to a medieval peasant, but here's a German tourist from a small farming village who says some Times Square salsa verde physically incapacitated him gothamist.com/food/theres-...

The Democratic House in 2027 must subpoena all these mini-nazis and drag them in front of the cameras to testify under oath.

So @tinanguyen.bsky.social has spent weeks trying to identify the person at DHS who posts all the racist memes, and instead uncovered a fascinating code of silence: everyone in Trump's Washington knows who it is, but refuses to say. Gift link! -> www.theverge.com/column/89298...

"Covfefe" ;-)

This is the Post and the sources in it are identified as Trumpworld people which in my opinion suggests the whole gang is reaaaaaally sick of these two

See if you can guess which popular Bluesky users Dave and I talk about without naming them!

Rep. Kevin Hern (R-OK) announced for Senate & leaves open #OK01 (Tulsa), which was Trump +22 in 2024 Last 10 US House members to say they're retiring or seeking other office have all been Republicans. Last D retirement: Julia Brownley (CA) & Steny Hoyer (MD) Jan. 8 (Delegate Norton of DC Jan. 27)

Post-Trump, will people want politicians who are giant assholes or politicians who are nice? I think the public is pretty sick of giant assholes after the last decade. Talarico vs. Crockett is a version of this.

"When past presidents balked at the possibility of war with Iran, they weren’t just dodging a hard choice; they were deterred by all of the obvious reasons a conflict could perilously spiral. Nobody should be shocked that the expected is now coming to pass." www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now

I spoke with @davidklion.bsky.social about Epstein and the Jews and then Twitter vs. Bluesky. Which part of the conversation will make people madder? Stay tuned! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...

"Trump is so solipsistic, so plainly consumed with narcissism, so deeply indifferent to the details of governance and so eager to satisfy his basest impulses that there was little chance he’d ever complete the authoritarian consolidation of his dreams" www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/o...

One of my favorite parts of this whole thing is that it implies Rubio lied about his shoe size.

After it was revealed that Dominique Pelicot had arranged for the mass rape of his wife, Gisèle, each member of their family ended up with their own version of what had been real, Rachel Aviv writes. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/Ita-HA

Because you sickos love this, here's the updated flip count in legislative seats since the start of Trump's second term, following tonight's Dem win in New Hampshire: Democrats: 28 Republicans: 0 docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

This is Summit. He is a friend to pretty much everyone he meets. But has a special soft spot for the little critters who stop long enough for him to say hello. 13/10 (IG: bakerbarnes)

Can't tell how much this is just a rhetoric play -- Fox News spent all last year saying immigration enforcement was targeting violent criminals, even as it was clear mass deportations were underway. Is policy changing or just how to talk about it? www.axios.com/2026/03/10/w...
