Every so often I remember that Oprah brought us Dr Phil, Dr Oz and The Secret but the only person she brought back to destroy on her show was the guy who pretended to be a worse drug addict than he actually was in a book

Elon Musk, giddy with excitement, finds a vaguely-titled education programme on the border of a geopolitical rival: well, that’s a $2m saving right there. I am so smart.

i feel like this is evidence for my view that people experience trump through a strong form of ironic detachment. they literally do not perceive him as real.

The funniest part is watching white Republican women discover they are also a DEI hire…

David Ray: Fuck them kids

Senate State Agencies did a lot of harm to your rights yesterday. But one of the more disgusting actions was ignoring ~40 Arkansans who showed up to speak against bills gutting direct democracy because John Payton wanted to go to lunch.

If you missed the morning garbage put on by Senate State Agencies re: Sen. Hammer's 6 anti-democratic bills, we have a two part thread for you: Part 1: skywriter.blue/pages/did:pl...

These people were so scared that abortion almost made it on the ballot that they’re willing to criminalize and make the whole process so Byzantine that it halts all ballot initiatives.

Because they want to get rid of the ballot initiative process.

Arkansas Republicans: Why would DEI and PBS do this?

Big Balls has learned his lesson. by Susan Collins

Maybe the Dem establishment isn’t coming to save us?

I remember Steinbeck once went on a tangent in a committee meeting about not being allowed to teach constitutional law at Bowen. And it’s very clear why.

Mary Bentley is legitimately insane.

Come to Arkansas, where you can get OTC dewormer with a raw milk chaser at your local corner market.

this is the most absurd possible outcome so i think we also have to treat it as the likeliest

I have a better idea. Can we just launch Dan Sullivan into the sun?

Rep. Cozart is just a clump of cells. #accurate

This is what I think of as a specific kind of ignorance that heavily affects young white guys who work in tech. It says “i don’t know about this, so I assume no one else does either.” It’s new to them, so it must be new to everybody!

What’s his beef against USAID in particu….oh. Wow.

*Democracy gasping for breath* Senate Dems: Higher pizza prices! Can you imagine?!

one of my strongest held beliefs is that we will not fix any of our most serious problems unless we are willing to hold a Nuremberg for social media executives, funders and engineers

Would be helpful if we just started referring to "DEI" as what it is: nonwhite, non-Christian, and trans people existing.

You can always tell when Trump is stressed or having a bad time because the bronzer gets darker and darker.

@arhousedems.bsky.social arktimes.com/arkansas-blo... I guess you’re pro-diarrhea now? Shaping up to be about as useless as your federal counterparts.

This kind of thing didn't used to happen when the government was woke.

Dan Sullivan and his ilk love to ignore all history as to why minorities need protections in this state. He tries to hide his white nationalism when he speaks, but fails miserably.

Dan Sullivan’s weaponized ignorance is nauseating.

The richest man on Earth is a drug-addict Nazi with an office in The White House. What are you going to do about it?
