And who they didn't approve of

look, we're all out here making ourselves stressed out and miserable with terrible news all the time please let yourself enjoy this, for your own mental health

If you’re overstimulated, please report to the Bluesky cooldown tent where we have orange slices and someone who doesn’t understand the concept of jokes waiting for you

Sorry to step away from the catfight, but we’ve got a win! A federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump administration’s attempt to dismantle AmeriCorps halting the termination of grants and its volunteer network!

This reminds me of the correspondence between Jefferson and Adams, if you dipped their letters in grease, set them on fire, and dropped them in a dumpster, which was also on fire.

this is just like the parable of the scorpion and the scorpion

So many aspects of my childhood could result in CPS calls if done today

This would be very bad for me personally but can a person live on irony and schadenfreude alone and for how long?

I'm in a CLE seminar. It's the most I can do to refrain from laughing aloud in delight

Lord, I know I am not perfect. I know I stray from Your will. I know I fail every day to earn Your grace. But if You let Donald Trump sue Elon Musk for defamation I will clean up my act and do everything I can to glorify you. No monkey’s paw stuff please; I want to be able to cover it too.

Damn straight. I just bought myself a donut.

Choose wisely.

Here’s a rare member of the U.S. Senate who seems to understand how close we are to a dictatorship.

Let’s talk for a moment about some of the more subtle ways that the press acts as a mouthpiece for law enforcement. Actor Jonathan Joss was shot to death on Sunday. I don’t know what happened; I wasn’t there. But his husband said a homophobic neighbor shot him as part of an explicit hate crime. /1

I'm relieved that Mountainhead movie is a movie and not a new series, because I just can't follow one more series where the lead characters are all greedy assholes. Reading the news these days is enough of that

Rand Paul: "The math doesn't really add up... the increase in spending put into this bill exceeds the DOGE cuts. Essentially this is a bill by the military industrial complex advocates who are padding the military budget." www.reddit.com/r/WeTheFifth...
