Trump keeps it succinct, that thing he’s known to do when something goes really well for him.

Talked to so many people who were at the first protests of their lives today. Ex-Republicans, introverts, 90-year-olds and 3-year-olds. This was at an intersection in a 60,000 person town. Haven’t felt hope like this in my life.

(and the democratic party seems intent on pretending like neither is happening)

ikea is immersive themed entertainment where the theme is "having a house"

Another thing about both of these movies: they MOVE. Not a wasted scene. And I would gladly waste a scene with these characters

I did not edit this, this is the actual parade with the actual music being played. CINEMATIC

My god he really threw a birthday party for himself and nobody came

just watched this netflix documentary on the oklahoma city bombing and once again i'm struck by how so many of the popular media takes on this event just avoid entirely the connection to organized white supremacism

The countries largest gender clinic with 3000 patients is complying in advance and shutting down. They treat up to age 25 so trans adults will lose access as well. www.latimes.com/california/s...

"defund the police" was so obviously correct. I really don't care if it doesn't poll well. it's like telling me that I should stop saying I like vaccines if they stopped polling well.

Especially if you're on the fence about it, protest today. Fascism is isolating and lonely. Its very goal is to make you feel like you're the only person unwilling to accept a cult of personality. On days like today you fully realize there are more of us than there are them. You will feel better.

It’s not just that they normalize political violence. They also accuse the left of engaging in mostly imaginary violence, which gives unhinged right-wingers justification to “retaliate.”

We know what we have to do to save our city from Andrew Cuomo. We're cross endorsing 🤝 @bradlander.bsky.social

The donors don't want their workforce deported. But you'll be subject to deportation if you quit your job or join a union or try to bargain for better wages or complain about sexual harassment.

lmao get her

I’ve rewatched Royal Tenenbaums and Get Shorty this week. As often and as capably as he brought comic timing to his roles, it’s wild how few of them Gene Hackman took that were full on comedic. Because he was amazing at them

it’s crazy how life for everyone has just gotten noticably worse immediately as trump became president again

i have decided to 'live by the coin'

‘He said that he tried to work with Mr. Cuomo as mayor. “I tried respect. I tried compromise,” he said. “And what I found was he didn’t keep his word, he didn’t tell the truth, and he put his political interests ahead of New York City’s needs.”’

anyone who works for ICE is a bad person imagine clocking in at the child traumatization factory every morning and thinking that’s an acceptable thing to do as a human being just unconscionable

they were always like this. the thing that changed is that the circle of people they felt to have to be respectful to used to include powerful democrats and it no longer does.

My addendum to @mtsw.bsky.social’s refrain is that billionaires who own media achieve their goal of helping Trump by hiring people like this. This isn’t a journalism problem. Reporters making $18/hr at my local paper don’t have this problem. No, this is the talent that gets you hired at the bigs.

I'm literally NEVER concerned about the Proud Boys showing up in LA. Every single time the Proud Boys have shown up in LA they've gotten their shit kicked in, bear sprayed, stabbed, and run over.

I can think of no better endorsement of the call screening feature than a Threads sales guy saying he’s not sure if he likes it

hate the phrase "asshat" but do like the concept of a little hat for one's ass

If the United States saw what the United States is doing in the United States, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

The Democratic Party right now is basically that guy in a movie hostage scene who stands up like “listen everybody if we just all do everything they say, we’re going to be fine” and then they shoot him in the kneecap and he spends the rest of the movie bleeding out in the corner

It would be great if America’s pundits would pause this entire genre. “Burning down my house means I don’t need to take out the trash!” Your cleverness is not winning the day right now.

Video that shows what the press won’t show.

This is insane

this is so amazing

It’s really a shame that the economics of cinema make it so impractical for filmmakers to just fire off glossy, mid-budget shorts, because I’m realizing that I don’t consider the Dahl shorts to be in his top five or even top eight but they’re also the ones I rewatch the most because it’s so easy to

Trump is punishing the people who voted for him

Realizing I was standing next to Bill Kristol in DC twenty years ago

i think in a few decades we will view what being online has done to certain peoples brains the way we view the effects of lead poisoning on society

now it is making sense

the giveaway here is that if you were really concerned with more ideological diversity on bluesky, you wouldn't be telling people already on bluesky. What are we supposed to do about it? You'd be telling conservatives that they should join the site. Goal is to convince people to abandon here.
