it's dizzying to watch sudden narrative shifts like these. where one day it's "wars in the middle east are a mistake" and the next it's "this is good versus evil, whose side are you on" the word gets thrown around too much, but that right there is orwellian

BREAKING: The White House lashed out at the creators of this ad for "fear-mongering". It must have really struck a nerve. Maybe they don't like being outed as fascists. You know what to do: SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE! #MAGAKidnappers

why is 39 year old luka modric forced to play soccer in the summer in florida for a made up tournament

answer me this, if bluesky is so bad then why can't i stop obsessively looking at it??

I am once again pitching my romantic comedy: - two academics start dating - discover they are each other's terrible reviewer - hijinks ensue Working title: Love is Double-Blind

what are the odds he tries to justify staying on for a third term by arguing that he should have served in 2020 but it was stolen from him

it never occurred to me that Office Space is basically parody of Perot's Electronic Data Systems.

lol schumer deleted the tweet

and their taking away your healthcare is just a distraction for their war in iran, which is actually used to distract you from their authoritarian takeover, which they want you to focus on so you don't realize they are giving tax cuts to the rich...

if statecraft is largely about symbols, i don't know what it says that a smirking man in a hawaiin shirt has greater state authority than two composed congressmen in suits

well, this is an absolutely terrifying prospect i had not contemplated!

i am a little torn about this definition of "the state," and also feel like anarchism doesn't preclude extraction and redistribution (you can have it, but just without force or permanent hierarchy)

lol is that loser wearing skinny jeans?

This is real thing that someone wrote c/o @davidkuhne.bsky.social

kind of crazy to think about societies like this that didn't yet have writing.

mainstream dems starting to see trump as vulnerable on ICE raids (and, by extension, immigration) is very good news!

Yeah you’ve got hochul uploading an official nygov social video calling lander’s arrest, and I’m quoting here, “bullshit.” They think the feds have overreached and are vulnerable.

Seems likely that the reason the administration is dressing them this way is that they want people to be able to independently impersonate them and thus get more of what they do done.

The Tucker thing and the AI marriage proposal guy are like little of pockets of honey to enjoy while we're forced to continually eat live bees.

just look at how easy it is to this that TUCKER FUCKING CARLSON can do it, and yet it's so exceedingly rare to find these basic questions asked by journalists to those who are in power!

a senator can make jokes about the political assassination of a state senator from the opposing party and all he has to do is quietly delete the jokes a few days later?

also, does his base even care that much about iran?

it's throwing the key figures and their financial backers in prison for the numerous crimes they have already committed. it's working relentlessly on this front and trying to expedite that process and not worrying about dotting every i and crossing every t to make sure it isn't seen as 'politicized'

people really are sleeping on "dying for sex" and "overcompensating" www.nytimes.com/2025/06/17/a...

what's paul bremmer up to these days? could he help usher this in?

i am sure once that evil middle east regime collapses something beautiful and democratic will immediately emerge from its ashes
