I simply will not be happy with a progressive majority that ascribes powers to crystals and won’t let me get my kids vaccinated RFK was Dem friendly because Republicans do not have a monopoly on deluded lunatics

Musk is "going through a multi-year, drug-fueled nervous breakdown." And Trump "has all of the levers of the federal government... to hurt Tesla: He can rig tax credits against the company; cancel government contracts; reward competitors." @jvl.bsky.social on Trump vs. Musk: It's not an even fight.

NYT does propaganda for Trump, WSJ does straight reporting

1. give us something else to post about, big guy 2. it’s not reality tv. the two billionaires fighting seem to run are government substantially more than your useless coequal branch

Unacceptable. Call your senators and rep and tell them that states must have the right to regulate "A.i." and this clause has to come out of this bill. If they're Republicans, tell them STATES RIGHTS!!! If they're Democrats, tell them STOP HELPING "A.I." SCAMMERS. reps.fyi

The resistlib running the Dems’ social media right now:

the thing is that fantasy writers are always trying to have prejudice have a story reason but in real life it's just, you know, bullshit.

DA fans: Mages are a minority allegory Me: Minorities turn into uncontrollable monsters if you don’t keep them locked up? DA fans: Okay then elves are Me: So you mean the reason it’s a crap sack world is because a minority’s religion fucked everything up Minority allegories? Really hard to do

No they’re all Lepidus.

Trump and Elon broke up

This shot of Chen Kenichi is from the Lobster Battle episode, which 😱 😱😱😱 If you can steel yourself to watch it, it's FUNNY, but it's also still horrifying 🦞

Separation of powers is a core principle of American government

LOLLLLLLL but seriously nationalize SpaceX

c'mon, Vance, get off your couch and join in

A terminally offline friend texted me the screenshot of Musk's Epstein tweet 29 minutes after it was posted breaking all known records for online to offline crossover. She doesn't have FB or Instagram, let alone Twitter!!

Democrats need to fucking run straight to the end zone with that Musk tweet about Epstein

the internet is cooking hotter than the day trump got covid

“It is pleasant, when the sea is high and the winds are dashing the waves about, to watch from the shores the struggles of another.” - Livy

"What a pleasure it is, to see all my enemies in contention, while I need only rest here." -Cao Cao, probably.

I’m on the record favoring mandatory national service - military or otherwise - but Hannity saying this is laughable

I feel like the disconnect is between the fact that they worked to prevent sickness and death but did not work to not inconvenience people Which is grotesque, but I think that’s what it is.

Billionaires ke paas already sab kuchh hai. Ab, aapka time aageya. Billionaires already have everything. Now, your time has come.

we live in one of the most painfully funny moments of an industry bungling a large scale product rollout

Procter & Gamble said it would cut 7,000 jobs or about 6% of its total workforce over the next two years, as part of a new restructuring plan to counter uneven consumer demand and higher costs due to tariff uncertainty.

British surgeon Victoria Rose, who's just returned from Gaza: "They're coming through the doors like a conveyor belt... really small children with massive injuries.. bits of their bodies blown off... every day at least half [of my cases] were under the age of 11.. its barbaric"

it's kind of funny how the Abundance types have found a kind of affective allegiance with centrist establishment Democrats -- as both have gripes about aspects of left-liberalism -- but if you look at the primary obstructions standing in the way of Abundance policymaking, it's establishment Dems

I gotta say, I get why people want to dunk on them. I did too, even earlier today. But even if I think they’re missing the mark, I’m happy to have them on our side.

I'm someone who is like kind of good at online? And grew up with exposure to subcultures and percolating ideas entirely alien to mass public. Particularly the methods of Holocaust Denial which I spoke about on Twitter. Makes you feel smart but you're not. It's a hack. I don't know how to teach this.

I will upgrade my Bulwark membership to founding member if Tim says “Nutlick” live on MSNBC. STG.
