Worth considering that one reason Bluesky doesn't always feel super fun is that current events are relentlessly horrifying and bad

This is fascism

They handcuffed and forcibly removed a sitting US Senator for asking a question

"Spike the purple whatsit" Yeah that's how I'm feeling

Broke: watching the TV broadcast Woke: listening to the radio broadcast Bespoke: WATCHING THE RADIO BROADCAST

Can't wait for the new IndyCar chassis to come out at the heat death of the universe

Brody King > your favorite

Lol

Oh my god OH MY GOD O H M Y G O D

In honor(?) of Fogerty's CCR remake, I popped on @shadowtodd.bsky.social 's video on Mardi Gras again. This line about "Looking For A Reason" aged well: "'Because I Got High' is more open to interpretation than this" After watching that damn Puma commercial a thousand times, I guess he had a point

Imagine having multiple factory drivers who want to drive prototypes at Le Mans and then just NOT racing your prototype after a year and hiring a bunch of mid-at-best ex F1 guys instead of your factory team to drive it

Andrew Cuomo is afraid he'll lose, so his donors want you to fear me. His SuperPAC just sent out a mailer that artificially lengthened and darkened my beard. This is blatant Islamophobia—the kind of racism that explains why MAGA billionaires support his campaign.

It always comes back to this. Whatever pretensions we may have about the political system under which we live, Palestine is the issue on which every contradiction unravels, each hypocrisy is laid bare, and all values are rendered contingent and expendable—with our leaders' willing participation.

The iPhone episode of Futurama aged poorly Imagine the latest flagship iPhone only being $500 lmao

I appreciate that one of the included highlights was Eduardo Freitas getting on the horn to tell the teams "before you start asking" they wouldn't extend the session after the red flag. Sassiest race director in motorsports by far. Love him.

According to Mark Miles, NASCAR is literally the most popular thing in the history of Mexico

I'm glad that the Democrats can take time out of their busy day of fighting fascism to play baseball with the fascists.

To everyone who spent years telling me it was an act and that Cody was "one of the good ones," Lol. Lmao even.

Lol. If the DNC cannot handle this milquetoast, pasty-ass moderate Dem saying simple things like "Maybe we should elect better Democrats?", you'll forgive me if I don't have any real hope that they can challenge the GOP.

Oh so they *can* remove people from things in their own party

you show signs of wanting to change the party for the better and they oust you, this party has learned absolutely nothing from 2016, from 2020, and from 2024 and never will

"Opposition" party actively firing the ones doing any opposing

"pro-vaccine groups" NYT editors are the fucking enemy

A Penske car got disqualified?

#6 Porsche DQ'd from qualy for failing to meet minimum weight Which means, #009 ASTON MARTIN IN HYPERPOLE. PRAISE GABEN.

They pissed off The Mouse. It's never been more over than it is right now for AI bros. Praise be.

part of what makes the one-two of sly and brian slipping away land so hard is that there was a very real sense in which they both could have gone in say 1986 and no one would have been very surprised or felt like there was a missing chapter. the classic work spoke for itself. rock takes its toll.

I THOUGHT there was nothing lazier than calling any rogue like with card mechanics "STS but _____" Then Balatro came out 🫠🫠
