i think it should be a bigger story that the president held a meeting with a foreign head of state where he ranted about the most gutter white supremacist propaganda you can find on the internet

Huzzah, England gets points. #Eurovision

Cha cha cha cha cha cha!

A Sith Lord has entered the rap. #Albania #Eurovision

Wait, does she have one red eye? #Albania #Eurovision

SUANA! #Swedon #Eurovision

I made popcorn, did I miss anything? #Eurovision

THIS is why I watch #Eurovision - Latvia - I am not sure what the hell that is - rusaliki?

Spain is bringing in the energy. and those nails should count for a drink! #Eurovision

Well, damn, had to pay after all to watch Eurovision... And missed several songs in the process. And this song by Lithuania just isn't doing it for me...

Oi, trying to watch Eurovision in the US - stuck on YouTube, trying to verify that I have the right link... And now it is so blurry as to be unwatchable. (no, I don't have a subscription to Peacock and I really don't want one)

In New Yorker Humor, an updated “Elements of Style” for 2025. “Use a semicolon to join independent clauses. For example: He’s not even the real President; the other, even weirder billionaire seems to be in charge.”

With NIH director Jayanta Bhattacharya dismissing my reporting as "false" and "spreading rumors" hours before releasing a policy that confirmed said "rumors," I feel compelled to respond. Here's an inside look into how this story was reported. It was a weird one. 🧵 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Something is definitely afoot in Hungary tonight.

I’ve been sort of idly keeping track of all the points in the Declaration of Independence’s bill of particulars that arguably apply to the Trump Admin. This is the first four-in-a-row I’ve hit. www.archives.gov/founding-doc...

Spiegel reporting that they are way more careless

"In retrospect, I was wrong on a few counts... Welcome to the era of actual DEI hires and its chief poster boy: a dipshit’s excuse for intelligence." charlotteclymer.substack.com/p/a-dipshits...

Shout out to Jeffrey Goldberg for reporting on this now instead of waiting two years to put it in a book.

This reminds me of a book my mom had when I was a kid: The Gang that Couldn't Shoot Straight.

My coworker today, snoring on the job. (Sound up) #SkyHounds

Faye thinks this is the best. Ay to spend a rainy Monday. #SlyHounds

And so I wake in the morning and I step outside And I take a deep breath and I get real high And I scream from the top of my lungs “BUT HER EMAILS!”

We shall postpone fighting on the beaches, we shall keep an eye on the landing grounds, we encourage everyone else, should the right circumstances come, to fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall eventually retreat to the hills; we shall never explicitly surrender.

Can we ask the groundhog when @darthbluesky.bsky.social will come back?

Damn you all! Sens. Dick Durbin (Illinois), Catherine Cortez Masto (Nevada), Maggie Hassan (New Hampshire), John Fetterman (Pennsylvania), Kirsten Gillibrand (New York), Jeanne Shaheen (New Hampshire), Gary Peters (Michigan) and Brian Schatz (Hawaii) joined Schumer and King in voting for the bill.

Yes! It will be terrible and it is because of the GOP and administration. It's because of their inability to govern - they only know how to slash and burn. They can't govern, you know, actually find solutions with other people.
