Fox News brings on Rebekah Koffler to talk about the military parade, but she seems to be heavily intoxicated so they cut away with quickness

Perfect 🤣

Allegedly the units sent this out, that soldiers who disagreed politically could ask to be excused from attending the speech. Army didn't want the optics of having people not applaud the President.

I can’t even any more

Next time they lie that they’re targeting universities due to antisemitism, let’s remember their officials & allies who spread antisemitic conspiracy theories. They don’t care about Jews or antisemitism. They only care about consolidating their power.

The X-Files explains why Gen X went for Trump and seems especially prone to conspiracy theories. This is my TED talk

I am having a issues with people who express horror about what is happening in Gaza after they spent over a year about how they couldn’t vote Biden/Harris because of less than perfect language use and now they don’t want any responsibility for Trump giving Bibi carte blanche.

clear, depressing set of observations from @randomwalker.bsky.social - "The decline of reading-for-pleasure (due to video) and reading-for-information (due to AI) will accelerate each other, as reading text without an intermediary will come to be seen as a chore."

Imagine how we would view this if it was happening in another country

The GOP budget is the meth binge-nihilist version of Reaganomics combined with hold held culture war dreams but let’s fight eachother because of dare a Wine Mom with an In This House poster be a corporate lawyer say the lefties and moderates fear AOC will be kryptonite on edge districts

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

Everytime Democrats do something you can always count on at least a quarter of Democrats stating the action is what Republicans want

Joe Rogan is like 90 percent Morning Zoo/2 am stoner bs session in a dorm and 10 percent reactionary politics. I don’t think there is a liberal equivalent of this

I say without any irony or sarcasm: yes, thank you, we want parliamentary sabotage. Again, I'm 100% serious. It's one of the few things a minority party can do, and which Republicans themselves did. It's essential.

I'm going to end up a socialist revolutionary before this is over

Repeat after me:A victorious anti-Trump coalition is going to contain people you have deep ideological disagreements with.

They're talking about "water based" cooking now. Cooking things in water instead of oils. It's soup. They're making soup.

Since Biden is being decimated today, I’ll just say again that he Facetimed my brother before a particularly rough chemo round to give him a pep talk, even though he didn’t know anything about my brother other than he was a veteran who was poisoned by the same burn pits that killed his son, Beau.

The guy who attacked the reproductive clinic in Palm Springs appears to be a special kind of ideological crank. I’ve heard of anti-natalists before but they are usually people who get stopped by simple questions. This guy took his crank beliefs to an extreme

I made a joke about Chico State being a safety school for people who really wanted to go to Harpo or Groucho U and the yutes at the office did not get it

The mask is now off on the effort to recall Supervisor Joel Engardio: Aaron Peskin — who has quietly pushed the recall for months — has now formally taken it over & installed his own lieutenants. We need to be clear on what this recall is about & why Peskin is now leading it: 🧵

Dear NYT spelling bee: Mecha is a word. Signed, nerd.

Many victims of even obvious scams are sympathetic. This is the other kind

Too many people start blaming the Donor Class as a balm when a Democrat they don’t like very much wins a primary. Anything to avoid asking themselves hard questions on whether they are a minority view in the party

American cities on detente and very different groups tolerating but each other but interacting at the bare minimum. I suspect Cuimo’s lead represents that a lot of bougie-boho liberals don’t know how to talk to his base which might swing more socially conservative than they want to acknowledge

Dear New York Times: Farting at Dash Sulzberger’s wedding strains the bounds of propriety. Accepting a corrupt and illegal bribe is accepting a corrupt and illegal bribe

How will the Lionsfield guys react when Pope Leo XIV introduces deep dish to the Vatican Cafeteria?
