Bluesky right now:

been saying this for like 3 years now, the core constituency of the "manosphere" is not Gen Z or teenage boys, it is 35-55 year old dudes who wish they were still teenage boys

Yes!

Sometimes I just stop, shake my head, and think how ridiculous it is watching my country be destroyed by a demented old man just because some white people are afraid of the future.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs. (“Hard mode” no Star Wars, Star Trek, or LOTR)

The hero of crypto is helping the fascists throw American citizens in to prison. Keep up the good work crypto, we appreciate all the freedom.

Fingers crossed I think Dems are actually figuring out that the harder they fight the more we cheer

You know things are bad because I've broken out the T accounts again.

I can no longer tell if I'm holding up surprisingly well right now because I did all of my grieving for the future back in 2024 or if I have just reached a state of emergency dissociation so extreme that I will not be feeling my feelings until 2026.

If AOC or someone like her started a progressive party that ran on things like universal healthcare, UBI, protections for immigrants and LGBTQIA people, antiracism, etc., I (and I imagine many others) would gleefully organize and vote for that party, like I think it might actually work

Just for the record there is no plan. Trump is an idiot. The spaghetti he’s throwing against the wall isn’t sticking so he keeps throwing more spaghetti against the wall. Anyone trying to figure out the “master plan” is thinking about it way too hard.

Can’t believe Twitter keeps crashing despite Elon hiring the best 19-year-old interns that racism has to offer

keeping a tab open watching tesla stock and it might be the best mood enhancer i've ever experienced

Once upon a time in a galaxy far, far away I listened to Reason. They may have been decent, I don’t really remember. Anymore they’re just Koch-funded propaganda.

I'm a one-issue voter, and this is that issue. I want to lose $100k every month on something called Groincoin or $hart, and I don't want the fucking GOVERNMENT telling me I can't. Also I have injured 100% of my body in interactions with hot dog rollers at 7/11. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/27/b...

For the people criticizing RAGE (doge), you don’t need to caveat by agreeing that fraud should be investigated. Please stop letting the fascists dictate the rules of engagement.

We’re trying to be OpenSea but five years too late.

as an economist who talks to people on Wall St: the data is BAD now, and everyone knows it. the stupid ones are surprised by this, of course, and flailing, but anyone who did more than a gram of thinking is readying their "break the glass" business plans.

The radical right thinks if you cut gov spending that will allow people to keep more money. But of course it doesn’t work that way. Money comes from the govt; it’s self funding. Tax rates aren’t determined by spending. These people are actually mad at neoliberal capitalism and don’t realize it.

If you are in or near Washington DC, this is the place to be. Tomorrow/Monday.

My favorite fun fact about Ayn Rand is that she was on Medicare in her old age. Huge inconvenience for libertarians.

Please read @gilduran.com at the Nerd Reich. He is all over it with a newsletter about tech authoritariansm and The Network State www.thenerdreich.com

elon musk is scheduled to throw out the first pitch at your favorite baseball team's opening day while wearing a t shirt from your favorite band in his ongoing effort to insert himself into and singularly ruin every aspect of your life

i'm tired of being told to stop doomscrolling. i'm just scrolling, it's not my fault there's doom on there

This admin is already such a nightmare I’m actually wondering how long it will last. Hope springs eternal obviously but the incompetence can’t be denied. I mean how long can the fascists continue to keep this ruse up?

May I suggest something radical? Have mercy on people. Even on here. What’s happening is unprecedented, so politicians, journalists, public servants etc are doing their best to adjust. Not doing exactly what you think they should doesn’t mean they’re giving up or giving in.

There’s no such thing as the federal debt. There are treasury bills that the public uses as a low risk form of investment. It’s our money that the government is simply holding. “Paying the debt” will simply flood the economy with $35 trillion and crash interest rates to zero.

this is how it feels to reach 30 MILLION users!!!

every single bills-chiefs game

Right now, the U.S. is in a media crisis. Just in the nick of time, I'm starting a newsletter series about understanding media in the twenty-first century. I'll teach you how to challenge and change the messages that our media carries. Let's go. buttondown.com/thehypothesi...

where all the tiktok refugee starter packs at

they should shut down every social media site and force us all to get a life tbh

Exactly, current account surplus is not a good thing if you have a shrinking economy.

Don’t waste time complaining about the democrats. It’s lazy, obvious, & unproductive. Keep in mind who the real enemy is here. Furthermore, remember the R’s are weak and unpopular; divided, scatter-brained, and stupid with slim majorities.

Live your life so that when you die, some joyless schmuck is annoyed that his entire social media feed is a wall of people's posts talking about how much you and your work meant to them
