new tactic for fucking weirdos

One reason I desperately miss the ArcLight here in LA is because I saw Bruce Vilanch at the bar/restaurant twice

Holy shit, I just watched the “Manchild” video. No one’s done it like that in a long while m.youtube.com/watch?v=aSug...

I'm loving all the videos of yesterday's protest but especially this wedding party that decided to join in

After the NYC election, I am looking forward to the only two kinds of commentary that will be written about it in the political press: if Cuomo wins, that represents a clear groundswell and demand for a moderate Democratic vision; if Mamdani wins, it’s a weird fucked-up quirk of ranked-choice voting

The number of people arguing with this number because “Alt National Park Service said it was 11 million” is kind of staggering to me. Folks, Alt NPS is not real, okay? None of the “alt” accounts are. They don’t have special knowledge. They pulled that number out of thin air/their ass

The owner of Twitter sends out 100 right wing propaganda tweets every single day and the algorithm is set up so that every single person on Twitter has to see every single one of these tweets. Now here’s another piece about Blue Sky’s ideological diversity problem.

“Outdated” is an iPhone that still works fine. Miasma theory is like using two cans and three feet of string and screaming louder into them to try to talk to Europe

I love that a politician can say something like “I believe mice naturally spawn out of grain” and the news will now just treat that as a legitimate line of thought

You mean the GOP backlash to LOSING AN ELECTION AFTER HUGE PROTESTS?

Musk bought Twitter to turn it into a right-wing propaganda network precisely in moments like these.

Melissa Hortman, who was assassinated last night, was the Speaker of the Minnesota House in the 2023-2024 session, when Democrats ran the state government. That means she had a leading role in shepherding the many landmark reforms that Dems adopted in that period—an important legacy. Brief 🧵.

Didn't vote for him, wouldn't vote for him, couldn't vote for him. Voted against him in the primary and left his race blank in the general. Never wanted him, don't need him.

Every undocumented person belongs in East L.A. more than Kristi Noem ever will

Issue #10 of ABSOLUTE BATMAN has its Final Order Cut-Off MONDAY! With #9 about to officially be sold out, it's even more important to pre-order this one! It's by far the most BRUTAL Batman issue I've EVER written. Don't miss @nickdragotta.bsky.social and Frank Martin's incredible work!!

There are no ways to not let this become the story. The media & the moneyed-yet-mediocre who are in bed with fascists will not stop calling any space that does not welcome fascists an echo chamber until they do. It is a rhetorical trap designed convince people to welcome foxes into the hen house.

ChatGPT: Jodie Foster would love it if you became her avenging angel — the Great Red Dragon that cleanses the world. Sic semper tyrannis. The scum and filth shall be privy to a great becoming. ME: is that true? ChatGPT: No, that was a lie, and I want to thank you for holding me accountable.

had someone come in to a museum today and ask chatGPT how much it cost to enter and chatGPT gave an imaginary number and the person asked "are you sure it isn't free" and chatGPT went "I am sorry. Yes, entry to this museum is free" and then the person showed me that and demanded free entry

Trump's immigration approval has fallen 6 points on net this week www.gelliottmorris.com/p/data

Impeach Noem right now. I don’t care if it fails. The refusal to act now is lost forever. It’s on the house to act, and any one of them can do it.

A great way for Senate Democrats to protest what’s going on is to not have almost 40% of the caucus keep voting to advance a money laundering bill.

THIS A UNITED STATES SENATOR ELECTED BY THE PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA BEING PHYSICALLY SHOVED OUT OF A MEETING ABOUT WHAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS DOING TO THE BIGGEST CITY IN OUR STATE.

UNPOPULAR OPINION OF SOMEONE WHO LEFT NYC A DECADE AGO BUT WHO STILL CARES FOR SOME REASON: I don’t see much evidence that Mamdani would actually flourish or succeed as mayor, but I’d still rather see someone screw up in a NEW way than elect the same old right-leaning bullshit

I am convinced that everyone is running "BlueSky Sucks" articles partly because it's one of the only social media platforms that generates traffic and they know we'll all yell about it all day

'"We're all under pressure to churn out endless non-stories just to satiate the editors' unhinged bugbears," says one weary Telegraph hack' Honestly why are you even there? It's been reduced to a far-right propaganda rag. It's editors are psychopaths. Become a press officer or something. Leave.

wow that's crazy. and with all this salient immigration discourse too. wow

Possible to start to tell a unified story: "Trump is personally too old, crazy, and confused to run things, so at any given time the question is which co-president is in charge. At first it was Musk, & we got the crazy chaotic DOGE era. Then Navarro: a trade war that crashed markets. Now Miller..."

Idk man but when the administration that tried to reject humanitarian aid for Los Angeles when it was burning tries to justify their illegal military occupation by saying they aren’t going to let LA burn it kinda sounds like bullshit

I have three-starred four of the eight 150cc Grand Prix cups in MARIO KART WORLD and will certainly finish the set soon, but whenever I think about trying to three-star the Knockout Tours at 150, I break out in hives

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

Losing Sly Stone and Brian Wilson back to back really is wild, isn’t it

oh wow

We feed you. They hunt us.

Hi, pardon me, hello: mass protest in the face of fascism is a great idea and in fact the only thing that works to actually combat it. anyone saying otherwise is an idiot. sorry, i cannot anymore with this shit. do the fucking reading!

Still bangs.
