Yes and….prey tell, what will be the consequences for Trump? My guess, nothing!

Tolkien used hobbits to represent traditional English values. This is why Bilbo leaves his home, lies to a foreigner, steals his treasure, and causes a war which kills and displaces millions of people.

Still nothing about Gaza & Palestine on Bluesky. This app does not have “the juice”. It’s not good for global events, real time news, global politics, sport, even the bloody weather.

Just spent 20 mins scrolling on Blue Sky (both following & for you). Nothing about Gaza or Palestine. Absolute crickets! Unreal! Plenty about Baron Trump though. Absolutely pathetic here. #gaza #freepalestine

I go back to twitter every now & then to see what’s up. Every other post is someone rightfully calling for the end of Israeli aggression in Gaza & the freeing of Palestine. Here on Bluesky…nothing!!! Maybe I’m following the wrong people here. Where is the outrage from the so called intelligencia???

The Running Man was fictional. Apparently… 🤷🏻‍♂️

Linda McMahon, Secretary of Education, sent Harvard a letter. They graded it. Bwahahaha.

“best lives on the planet” doing A LOT of heavy lifting in the quote.

Australia & Canada doing what the US & the UK could not. Tell the right wing to fuck right off!!! #auselections #auspol

TWENTY!!! #LFC

Greatest sporting selfie of all time!

Yes, for Americas reputation. Any normal country wouldn’t have elected him. And if by some fluke he got in, his approvals would all be below 20%. But in America….

So infuriating when the host says “they want that too” in reference to Republicans. His head has clearly been inserted into his own arsehole since birth. Thankfully Pete articulates the many ways in which they DON’T want that too!

Y’all, I think I found that welfare state the right wingers keep crying about

From 47 to 42%! Lord Jesus send the flood. America has fallen. How it is anything other than 0 is beyond me.

Just watched the episode of Bluey where they sell the house. And now I’m a blubbering mess on a Friday morning. #bluey

Never fails

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

Go a step further and call it Trump Tariff. Make sure it is in bold.

Has anyone from Congress used the word “impeachment” yet? Crazy the way Dem leaders aren’t in front of cameras hourly screaming for impeachment.

Does it matter?

🔑 under-discussed point — why they were on signal:

Crazy that Trump has signed an EO killing the Department of Education and this app is…🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗

Boomers & some Gen Xers based their entire careers on this.

Arne Slot to Liverpool fans: “We are gonna go all in tonight, but we need your support!” (Carabao Cup)

You think he’s trying to steal the Resolute desk????

Just remember, he tried to change the path of a hurricane with a sharpie.

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 30, the number is 100%.

Hahahaha! This is some insane work by Liverpool! Up the Reds!!! #championsleague #LFC #PSGLIV

Farmers are going to run to Congress for another handout to deal with the retaliatory tariffs and the answer from Dems has to be "no." This isn't out of retribution, it's because we can't keep creating escape hatches for GOP members of Congress. For the benefit of all, keep the pressure on them.

CRASH 📉📉📉 The Atlanta Fed’s GDPNow model now estimates U.S. real GDP growth for Q1 at -2.8%, down even further from last week’s forecast of -1.5%. Just a month ago, the estimate was about +4%.
