💥👊 “If I’m gonna enjoy anything it’s gonna be this. Like, this has been a terrible year for humanity. So if I can watch the people creating the suffering, you know, suffer themselves I’m going to enjoy it.” @5gw.bsky.social

Thanks to @dhglazer.bsky.social from @visibilitybrigade.bsky.social, @thelisagraves.bsky.social, and @chunklz.bsky.social for joining us on a very special D-Day installment of The Five 8.

WOW. Breaking news from ABC that has the potential to cast serious doubts on today’s indictment of Mr. Abrego Garcia.

Passing West Point. Did not see any yachts or trophy wives.

Disbar this attorney. For shame.

I always love Greg's convos with Gal Suburban; this is another great one!

Who gets JD Vance in the custody battle? He's been very quiet.

"He’s almost like Mike Lindell to me. You know what I’m saying? Musk is like the 2025 Mike Lindell, you know, the 'they stole the election' guy. Like, they’re just using up all his money and his political capital while they can until they gas him out." - @5gw.bsky.social Gal Suburban

Here is a replay of last night's livestream, with a transcript. Gal Suburban @5gw.bsky.social & I talk out the Trump/Musk battle royale. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Dear OKC: Welcome to the club. —a Knicks fan

We’ll know it’s almost over when Elon decides to vacation in Belarus. youtu.be/8Te-fQnmaJA?...

Dangerous boys with nuclear toys and satellite ploys. Dangerous.

Thanks for watching! And for @5gw.bsky.social for joining me!

I'm gonna attempt a Substack live thing at 7...ie, in five minutes...

Direct communication is when two narcissistic sociopaths complain about each other on different social media sites.

if the wheels had come off this thing any faster it'd be a Cybertruck

This would be the top leopard eating faces moment of all time.

Today is also Ferris Beuller's day off (June 5th) so it was always gonna be a day of manic chaotic energy

I believe it was on this episode of @thefive8.bsky.social when @jenmercieca.bsky.social, talking about the inevitable Trump/Musk divorce, said: "Two narcissists walk into a room; only one walks out." Verily it has come to pass...

finally a worthy Alien vs. Predator installment

Because great fiction writers aren’t that stupid.

I cannot stop wheezing

Weird they're showing Swan Lake on Fox right now

I’m taking the under.

Russian war criminal's daily atrocities continue apace...

If this little shit doesn't like Brown, and the excellent education and opportunity it provides, he's free to leave.

Oh yes, @lincolnsbible.bsky.social & I will be on hand tomorrow night, because lord knows, the crazy keeps getting ratcheted up.

Attention: @nadinesmith.bsky.social and @thelisagraves.bsky.social live, right this minute: www.youtube.com/live/K7a8O1K...

Democracy is in “stage 9” Leonard Leo cancer. Why were there “no takers” when infection might have been exposed and cured? Why are media watch dogs still covering for their friends? Democracy dies in darkness. @sulliview.bsky.social @jayrosen.bsky.social @markjacob.bsky.social

The Trump Gestapo operating in Manhattan.

Fantastic piece by @mollymckew.bsky.social on how Ukraine hit Russia and what the success of that drone campaign means for the war and the future of democracy.

“The Germans of the 1930’s didn’t have the example of the Germans of the 1930’s to look back upon. We do.” @gregolear.bsky.social @lincolnsbible.bsky.social youtube.com/watch?v=qdaO...

Greg Olear with his wordsmithing excellence. I could quote several stellar bits, but you must read the whole thing to enjoy the shattered puzzle pieces.
