This thread just keeps on giving! 🤩

Another thread of sheer brilliance! Thanks for the joy @riotgrlerin.bsky.social

The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5

Is this some kind of bumper crop of buck moths this year???? WTH? They’re EVERYWHERE!!

‘A leap of faith’: parents plead to save Leah Chase School With OPSB slated to decide the fate of the school tonight, parents, along with the Chase family itself, are asking the board to believe in the school. thelensnola.org/2025/12/18/a...

those who predicted authoritarianism were both dismissed, & deeply misunderstood, by the media my latest for @newrepublic.com newrepublic.com/article/2042...

Um. Yeah…. Yikes. Great summation (and echoes well my sheer JFC WTF response)

I spent $900 at 1587 Prime so you don’t have to.

I think what I hate most about Newsom is that he pretty clearly thinks of himself as another Reagan. Reagan was terrible for CA as governor and then took that show to the Whitehouse and look where that got us! Fuck no on Newsom.

CNN has suddenly discovered Tennessee's Patriot Front compound that was a subject of an extensive NewsChannel 5 investigation back in March. Here is my report: 1/ www.newschannel5.com/news/newscha...

I never met him but Rob Reiner always reminded me of my dad, physically and because of all the shared laughter and memories (we watched a lot of TV and movies at our house!) Dad was 9 months younger than Mr. Reiner, but died at 48. I feel like I just lost my dad all over again.

An inspiring call-to-action How much do the taxpayers have to pay for a fascist country

My colleague @dfriedman.bsky.social contacted the Pentagon about a top Pete Hegseth aide. The next day, far-right influencer Jack Posobiec threatened to write a scurrilous story about him. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Now I’m hungry for oysters. 🦪 that’s not really shocking though. I can almost always eat an oyster or 12

This kind of reporting with clear, concise language about the style and tenor of state backed terror in occupied Palestine is more or less unheard of in the British or American press. Good for Le Monde and specifically the reporter Luc Bronner for this article:

It made me sad (or something else) when 18 edited his college app essays to eliminate all em dashes - despite them being the better choice - because he didn’t want his essays assumed to be AI and ignored. WTAF are we doing here?!?

“The real money is in the corruption and, with Trump in charge, the corruption sector is enjoying a boom unlike anything that you or I have ever lived through.” One of many excellent points made here ⬇️

"I wasn't aware of what the President said" Then why are you on a Sunday news show, representing his Administration? Such claims of ignorance ring completely hollow.

I can't stop thinking about the purported drug smugglers being murdered by the US military. The punishment for drug offenses isn't the death penalty. This is just bloodlust and men in suits playing with lives they don't care about. It's truly grotesque and gravely compromises this country.

I had a terrible freshman year at college (bc poor personal choices and), trying to figure it all out in huge lecture halls with a profound unilateral hearing loss. I think I was halfway thru yr 2 when I found out I could get note takers. The positive impact on my ENTIRE life is hard to convey

Not only deeply fucking offensive, also completely fucking DUMB. I wanna say clueless, but I think it’s far worse than that. I believe these people (looking at our own Sen Bill Cassidy) know better and are actively out to harm as many of us as possible.

This is the essence of the story: three billionaires with no understanding of higher education are seeking to force Harvard to pay a bribe.

this is a work of art

This was fun! Anodized titanium crown in the color Blurple.

This was also true in 1989 when I, a college junior, was an undergraduate TA. It was shocking and appalling then as it is now but this is NOT NEW. We do a poor job educating teens and we long have.

This doofus just had her BEST EVER dog school class!! Meaning she was her most obedient and well mannered!!! YAY EVIE!!

The Crest Theatre Sacramento, CA I can’t even remember how many times I saw them there…

the Doug Mills video embedded in the NYT Trump aging story is pretty amazing

Sunny D is the Miracle Whip of juice Tonight’s deep insight came while trying to explain Sunny D to a 12 year old who has NO IDEA what it is. Which was brought up in the context of worst things we used to habitually drink when younger. Matt’s was Sunny D and SoCo…

*RFK jr voice* can anybody guess how i made the gravy

Big demand for whistles in New Orleans and 3D printing is the fastest/cheapest way to produce them right now. If you can help with printing, DM me. There are volunteers already handling pickups, dropoffs, regular printed materials and bundling. We could just use more people printing.

Has @riotgrlerin.bsky.social done this thread yet???

I did it. I made it through the work week!!!! I’m so fucking tired!

I’m 3/4 of the way done with this work week and I’m making it. It’s rough but it’s almost over. Really really REALLY hoping I can have a whole day this weekend to do nothing at all tho it’s not looking great

wrote about the president’s flagrant and destructive corruption in a column that references street fighter, the simpsons, machiavelli, and a host of revolutionary-era americans (gift link)

Omg how is it only Monday and I have a whole week of todays I feel like there’s no way I make it 😭

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

i regret to inform you that incredible things are still happening on the everything app

WTF is he doing? Is he trying to get re-elected? Not gonna happen. He’s not MAGA enough. But he IS a doctor and he IS responsible for RFKJr and he absolutely DOES know better. This is pandering at its worst and it’s not gonna help anyone, even himself. GTFOH

Repost if you support Starbucks’ striking workers!!! #NoContractNoCoffee

One of the most amazing yet! 🥳😃

The arrogance of a Senator who is not even running again to take the lead in undermining the Caucus and the voters.

Yea, I heard this and immediately thought BULLSHIT NO ONE SIAD THAT or maybe actually I yelled it at the tv

Cannot disagree with anything in this thread except I use and like Apple Maps and hate google maps. IT’S A ZIPPER PEOPLE!! And even better: yesterday I got to call the school to report a cybertruck (w/ FL plates) FLYING in the curb/carpool lane that nearly took me out coming out of my driveway.

Why the Mamdani campaign must be the future of politics In an era of rapid authoritarianism consolidation, what Mamdani has built isn’t just inspiration; it’s essential for preserving our freedoms.
