And to think that I thought it was ridiculous when margie-three-names successfully ran on a qanon platform. Now we have this loon as the head of HHS and a wellness influencer as the surgeon general. www.cnn.com/2025/05/31/h...

I'm not sure why Billy Joel has to stop touring just because he has a brain disorder. It hasn't stopped drumph from being president or RFK from trying to destroy HHS.

How much money have the billionaires made off all the stock market fluctuations this year? It's *almost* like drumph's plan is just manipulating the market.

Imagine if all the time and money spent on developing self-driving cars And EVs had instead been focused on extending/maintaining/improving public transit.

So I had a thought. I'd love to see a movie starring Ma Dong-seok (aka Don Lee) and Danny Trejo. Then just to check I Googled "Movie with Don Lee and Danny Trejo" Google AI (GAIgle?) boldly and confidently returned the movie 'Renegades'. Which is wrong. Don Lee is not in that movie.

I hope somebody is keeping track of all the changes that were made due to drumphavich's Executive Orders so they can be rolled back in after he is gone.

FDA says it will phase out petroleum-based food dyes, authorize four natural color additives <Slightly puzzled> Hmm, RFK does something that I'm generally ok with. Must have been the worm's influence. www.cnn.com/2025/04/22/h...

I think the white house briefing room should allow booing, jeering and heckling.

Who carries around $3000 in cash? What would you need that much cash for? Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s bag, including $3,000 in cash, is stolen from DC restaurant www.cnn.com/2025/04/21/p...

Privacy excerpt from one of my favorite authors, Cory Doctorow "By being stupid enough to use this service, you agree that I’m allowed to come to your house, punch your grandmother, wear your underwear, make long distance calls, and eat all the food in your fridge.” pluralistic.net/2025/04/19/g...

I got death threats for joking that Gambit’s fingerless gloves proves that he’s bisexual. DO YOUR JOB, SENATOR.

It puts me in mind of this not so fresh faced 27 yr old playing a high school junior.

Yeah, cuz I'm sure our "Strongman" president forcefully demanded his return or used his famous "art of the deal" skills to work out a deal. I'm guessing it went more like "The supreme Court said I should get him back but feel free to say no."

@gdsdfsvbfgfds.bsky.social Just trying to see if you are a real person.

I wonder if the reason behind these student deportations is to discourage "undesirable" foreign students from attending US universities. Kind of a "not training the enemy" sort of idiocy. Think in the same vein as the great replacement theory . open.substack.com/pub/zeteo/p/...

I just finished watching #TheResidence and the one burning question I have is for @alfranken.bsky.social How different are the real senate/congressional hearings from the that portrayed in #TheResidence?
