The DOGE mindset, perfectly encapsulated in one tweet. Destroy incredible public assets for a short term sugar high that would not come remotely close to ending the national debt

I had a friend in college who was more closely related to Obama than he was to any other President through his Irish family. He was MAGA lol

Something I’ve noticed that died over the pandemic. The expectation to always be standing whenever you’re presenting something. In a room full of people sure, but with a split in-person/virtual audience it seems most people stay seated for webcam purposes.

Poisoning the air of a Black community for a fucking chatbot.

That thing is one gigantic spy bug end to end

American Exceptionalism is watching a band of rednecks in a small town Tennessee bar absolutely kill Tubthumping by Chumbawamba

Edict from the new pope: the entire Chicago River is now considered holy water.

Edict from new pope: hotdogs are now fish and can be eaten during Lent, but adding ketchup will result in immediate excommunication.

First edict from the new pope: all communion wine will be replaced with Malört.

Pritzker centralizing all temporal and spirituality authority in preparation for the coming Khanate

It occurs to me I have not posted to BlueSky the very ferocious king snake, from which I was lucky to escape with my life.

“Even Greater Depression” confirmed for 3-6 months from now

Pretty interesting how well-represented Americana as a genre is here. Prine, Lucinda, Raitt, Hiatt, etc etc etc

This one has literally been real for years www.nationalgeographic.org/society/our-...

The Canadian election result shows that the 2024 US election might have gone very differently if American voters could somehow have known in advance what it would be like to have Donald Trump as president

40 cyber experts urge Trump to drop his investigation of @thekrebscycle.bsky.social, calling it "retribution." "An independent infosec community is fundamental to protecting our democracy, and to the profession itself." www.cybersecuritydive.com/news/chris-k...

Movie you've watched more than six times using gifs. ("Hard mode" no Star Wars, Star Trek, or LoTR)

my endorsement for any democratic presidential candidate who promises to send the entire DOGE team to prison

One of the wilder political things in recent history is that Project 2025 publicly released a 900 page document laying out their plans to roll back 100 years of human progress and then during the campaign Republicans just said "no we're not :)" and then they won and now they're doing it all.

Truly the stupidest timeline.

It is 12:35 am and my wife just airdropped this to me

You are after all your own Marx, of your homemade cherry tarts

This product is so good that you don’t even mind when it leaks all over your refrigerator because it fell on its side and somehow manages to do it every single time you buy it. That’s just the bargain you make with this stern old woman

I have a sneaking suspicion the assholes in power are doing their best to keep Kilmar Abrego Garcia in the prison camp because they don’t want him talking about where he was sent once he returns.

Hanania can stay the hell away from this place if for no other reason than this:

Going to Montana via Amtrak back in July was literally the most relaxed, safe feeling travel experience I’ve ever had. Give us the trains cowards.

If Joe evaporated 10% of the stock market for no reason he would have been 25 Amendmented so fast.

Everything is bad so here’s a wild trillium from my backyard

2035: “Man I’ve been having a really hard time since my wife stopped being supported” “You mean supportive?” “No, she’s a GPT 6.5 and they’re only supporting 8.1 and later now”
