Should we turn over important aspects of our lives to AI? (BTW, I was just looking for kickoff time).

When this regime is over, it is much more important (if less satisfying) to prosecute lower-level officials than to prosecute Trump. If Deputy Secretaries on down to individual ICE agents knew they could end up in jail, it would be much more difficult for Trump to carry out his schemes.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

The BlueSky feedback: Between 6 -12 months ago I was flooded with friend requests. Even thought I was pretty careful, I’m now slowly sifting through obvious bots. 😔

Think Congressional Republicans will pass ‘ID to buy groceries’ law to make Trump retroactively correct…?

Trump says he wants to provide SNAP benefits. All he had to do was NOT appeal when a court ordered him to do that and he would have the legal authority. How does MAGA not understand this???

This might be the wildest gas station name ever 🤣🤣🤣

It’s cute when Eeyore does it. It’s funny when George Carlin does it. Unless you are a small stuffed donkey with a pink bow, the late George Carlin, or a glorious and unholy melding of the two, your gloom is not currently appreciated.

If I could invent anything, it would be a mirror that showed everyone their attractiveness based on their insides. Their values, kindness, intelligence, humor, compassion, empathy would determine whether they were "hot" or not.

Speaker Johnson revealed that Luigi Mangione had been working undercover for the FBI to target individuals who might pose a threat to billionaire CEOs.

Bluesky may be the one place on the internet where you can be like “my hobbies are politics and mental illness and cool bugs” and everyone is like omg follow

Trump now facing two big SCOTUS challenges: use of IEEPA for tariffs, and use of Alien Enemies Act for deportations. Conservatives hate the former as bad for business, but don’t care much about the latter. Let’s watch how this plays out, shall we?

I'm looking forward to all the "I was wrong, Trump is not, in fact, a non-interventionist" pieces that are surely coming soon.

I don't want to tell you how to spend your time, but are you really going to pass up watching Julie Andrews dancing with a quartet of Pink Panthers to Henry Mancini's "Pink Panther Theme"?

album covers but with muppets: thread

if james bond was such a great spy why is there video footage of him doing literally everything.

Why do people say “my sincere condolences”? Is there anyone who offers their insincere condolences? Like, “Hey, sorry about your grandma lol”

being in ICE or Border Patrol must be so crazy right now, you’re walking around as the disposable henchmen you can kill without qualms in the coming century of films and video games

Anyone else experiencing this: After a dry spell of follower requests, I am suddenly getting a bunch of kinda squirrelly requests. Have bots found a way around the various screens?

i think we should lay out the rules of a Bluesky-based game in which you compete to see who can get to the most batshit reply to a fairly boring opinion the fastest

This is just a test. There is no emergency. It’s only a test. (A haiku of the Emergency Broadcast System)

Ok business students, here’s the scenario for you: you are a local life insurance agent. Ghislaine Maxwell, after Trump pardons her, walks into your office to take out a policy. What do you do?

SKEET SKEET MFERS

Accidentally pushing a pull door at first is a completely understandable mistake. It’s that second, angrier push that tells the world who you really are

“the kindest person in the room is often the smartest.” JB Pritzker is a mensch.

No notes, by Grok

Twitter is just the modern version of Roman leaded water pipes and wine sweetener

What a shame

Ok, all white people: you have 15 minutes - find the documents that prove your grandparents were citizens. Go!

i panicked the other day. thought i really fucked up and was going to go to jail and was pretty worked up about it. until i realized i was asleep and didn't do anything

Justice for Gregorian Chants, but otherwise Americans have taste pleasantly surprised to see the Crusades ranked that low tbh

Anyone else getting concerned about the spread of the ‘TACO’ nickname. The fact is chickening out from his harebrained ideas is the best thing Trump does. Now he’s chickening out from being dragged into a war with Iran, and that’s the best outcome. We don’t want him to become bold.

Wetting my pants laughing at this. Trump is a twit, but he may know what ‘in two weeks’ means www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

There are things we need powerful computers to learn how to do. Art, music, etc. isn’t it.

How President Trump's tax plan benefits the wealthy.

BlueSky starting to make me sad - I’m going to unfollow some political accounts for a while. I love you guys but just can’t take the relentless bad news. Need to rebalance.

BREAKING: The Labor Department has withdrawn guidance that discourages bosses from offering crypto in workers’ 401k plans. The Trump family, and much of the administration, is heavily invested in crypto. The crypto industry also spent about $238 million on the 2024 elections.

Worried about this TACO stuff - it WAS funny watching him wet his pants when asked about “Trump Always Chickens Out” - but if it causes him NOT to chicken out on some dumb trade whim, the consequences will fall on working people in the US.

So, we’ve heard that the CDC will restrict COVID vaccines to those over 65, and people with certain conditions. They published the list yesterday and it includes things like being physically “inactive,” or being a “former” smoker. If you can’t find a category you fit into you aren’t trying.

There should be a holiday for those of us that raised ourselves.

Trump’s trade guys met with China for two days, and at the end they got a “mechanism” to request further meetings. So Trump gave up and dropped the Tariffs on China to 30 percent. The Art of the Deal!

Controversial take here, bit I’m persuaded- JD Vance would be an improvement.

Hey, getting rid of pennies wasn’t a bad idea 🙄

To paraphrase the intelligence briefing - you are NOT attractive; if you are being hit on in the company of these guys, he/she is foreign intelligence…
