Every comments section ever Thank you @middleageriot.bsky.social

Shall I be plain? I wish the bastards dead

Bluesky isn’t about popularity, it’s about gathering all 17 William Morris lovers together in a single online location!

All I hear is a mob like threat

Hurricane season starts June 1 and if you live in a Gulf state, you need to watch this. It’s worse than you might think. The few employees still left at FEMA admit: they are not prepared. Not enough staff. Not enough supplies. Not enough leadership. Plan accordingly.

It’s OK, though, none of them wrote op-eds about the suffering of Palestinians

I made him a brøther

Crazy how long this conversation has been going on

Absolutely crying happy years for this gentleman.

I say this without a hint of sarcasm. The Armageddon DVD commentary is the finest work of Ben Affleck’s career.

This would’ve generated twenty op-eds in the NYT and articles of impeachment if it’d been Biden

To be effective, our opposition to today's abuses must run alongside a clear picture of what we are actually for - and how everyday life could be better with different leadership.

Fuck this Nazi thumb in a suit.

This is from The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson aired on May 20th, 1977. Carl Sagan says something very important, a strong message that didn't lose any validity since then.

Pritzker: Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research…

Eight year old: Who is the pope? Me: Begins to explain… Eight year old, interrupting: “It turns out I don’t care about that.”

This moment when the penny drops that trying to implement bathroom bans is an impossibility for the former Tory Chief Secretary Simon Clarke is delicious.

If we’re serious about more efficient government and better everyday life in America - which we all should be - that means actually improving government, not cutting health care for poor people and slashing support for veterans.

Walz: "This is how government is supposed to work. It's not supposed to be one old man in the Oval Office sending out middle of the night tweets that shock markets into free fall. It's not supposed to be a bunch of 20 somethings unelected and firing everyone. It's not supposed to be chaos."

When Donald Trump took office in January 2017, he was greeted by massive demonstrations. Millions participated in women’s marches in Washington, DC, and elsewhere, with more protests to follow, giving rise to a resistance movement. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/d...

“You can’t say people are our most important product and then treat them like shit.” - Jim Sinegal, co-founder of Costco

Which is precisely why millions of people are protesting against you.

The fact that I know more about Katy Perry and Lauren Sánchez’s 11-minute space trip than I do about Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito’s decades-long crime spree shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

I invented a new phone to help save time in the morning

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

Wild that despite everything that’s happening we’re still expected to do extraneous shit like “pay rent” and “eat food.”

My latest at @msnbc.com: "Every member of Congress, like the nation as a whole, faces a binary choice: It’s Trump or the Constitution. We can have one or the other but not both."

This part

Far too relevant 😐😆

Democratic House Rep. Jasmine Crockett on Donald Trump: “The fact that no one is questioning his mental acuity or fitness to serve is wild to me.” Same.

"House Democrats Jared Golden, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, Henry Cuellar and Ed Case voted in support." #saveact #turncoat

Cantwell: "You're telling us in your testimony you want a tariff on semiconductors. I'm saying that the last administration and this organization here passed the CHIPS and Science Act so we could reshore semiconductors. You're not going to win the innovation economy by tariffing semiconductors."

Am I depressed because of what's happening or am I depressed because of the people who somehow didn't see it coming? Both. It's both.

We took our 7 year old with us to the protest on Saturday. She ended up on the local Democrat social media pages. I have to say I was so impressed and grateful they all posted images without her face. Also she loves cats and pink. #caturday

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

it’s weird that we’re staring down the second unprecedented economic catastrophe in five years and instead of a novel coronavirus that will go on to kill millions of people this one is just “no one was willing to tell him no”

I’ve interviewed a lot of victims stayed in an abusive relationship because they worried their loved ones would judge them for not leaving sooner. They needed support and they knew they would get ridicule instead. And that’s something I’m thinking about a lot in this political environment.

1. Stop assuming people announce all their activism on social media. 2. Stop demanding people announce all their activism on social media. 3. Stop deriding people for not announcing all their activism on social media. 4. Dunking on people on social media isn't activism and isn't praxis.

I'm here in Mount Kisco, NY to tell Donald Trump, Elon Musk and the GOP HANDS OFF AMERICA Much of the focus on today's events will probably be the large rallies in big cities But make no mistake It is the smaller rallies The local rallies That will be the backbone of this movement

Enough internet. Time to cheer myself up by writing about how dark energy will eventually destroy the universe.

Thank you to whoever made this
