There is something really,really wrong with American media and journalists...they all suddenly sound daft as hell. Like overnight they all lost all sense 😳

@ethnography911.bsky.social Greetings! Apparently you were on one of those "starter pack" lists I clicked on. Hope you are doing well and enjoying your life...I'm still at Flora, for one more year (I think!) 😊

I'm trying to imagine how Jesus would respond to MTG's threats to physically assault her elected colleague...no, wait, I don't have to imagine since he said it in *checks notes* every. single. Gospel. "Love your neighbor." Period. So, MTG, what is the opposite of Christ?

Just a reminder that the Democratic shortfall in voting played out exactly as every other election in 2024 (note that Trump dropped in votes as well from 2020). History is a wave and we must learn to ride it or be drowned 🤙

Everyone likes to talk about the thought experiment “if I could go back in time, I’d…” — well you just did last night, what did you do?

It’s almost like there’s an argument to be made that billionaires shouldn’t control newspapers or universities

Ecco homo

I give you the utter collapse of American pride and gravitas in one image 🫤

So am I supposed to want followers? I like to get on Bluesky to read other people's posts (especially experts in their fields)...am I doing it wrong? 🫤

Man, I looooove stuff like this! Mind.Blown. 🤯🤯😳

@boogertom.bsky.social fellow ballon-juice enthusiast, saw your post this morning...if you're looking for some ideas on following check out my list I'm slowly rebuilding after leaving X last year...also there is a balloon-juice thead thingie, not sure how I found it! 😁

Damn. Just Damn

James Burke, the GOAT 💯

I cannot recommend this one enough - a fun read, great analysis and insight, and it's so fitting to the age we live in, for better or worse 10/10 🔥🔥🔥

Science is amazing 🤯🤯🤯

say what you will about gustav holst that mother fucker knew exactly what planets sound like

If you had told teenage me I would listen intensely to TV and movie soundtracks I would have called you crazy...fun show, but I was just watching for the music cues after episode 1 🔥🔥🔥

I'm old enough to remember when the GOP was the party of "small" government that was outraged some office stooge would come between a patient and their doctor 🤯

What could possibly go wrong? I mean, is Trump's entire campaign based on catastrophically destabilizing the United States of a dozen different ways? 😳

This.

An authoritarian demagogue inspiring crowds to demand the expulsion of a group of nonwhite legal residents based on their nationality. Could not be more explicit what we're seeing here.

This has to be the hardest line delivery of all time

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #4,482,705! It's my lucky number, too - what a coincidence 🤯

A story in four parts: 1) US GDP growth has outpaced all other G7 nations 2) it's even outpaced pre-COVID projections 3) inflation-adjusted wages are up, and most for low-wage folks 4) wages at the bottom rose so much, income inequality is down, undoing 1/3 of its growth since Reagan
