There it is

Just a reminder that there’s an app available for your TV called PBS RETRO where you can watch all sorts of wonderful old pbs shows like Mr. Rogers and Reading Rainbow, you know, in case you might need that sort of energy right now

My little golden egg

What a depressing statement on the state of public enlightenment. This country really feels doomed.

New in PN: "If your platform is that women have no right to bodily autonomy, and the head of your party has been held liable for sexual assault, on what grounds can you reject nominees who are accused of misconduct themselves?"

“70% the illegal weapons seized from criminals in Mexico come from your country. We do not produce these weapons, nor do we consume synthetic drugs. Tragically, it is in our country that lives are lost to the violence resulting from meeting the drug demand in yours.” - President Sheinbaum to Trump.

I admit to being utterly bewildered by this new Trumpist conservatism that believes, on the one hand, that following the law is for suckers; while on the other hand believing that we need more policing and harsher penalties for violating the law. I don't understand how this coalesces into policy.

Suing spotify for some made up thing and not because they pay artists like .00003 cents per stream is such a drake move

I use a lot of blocklists, so it’s wild that this one has tons of accounts missed by the others. bsky.app/profile/did:...

If you go to a Wicked showing and start singing they should be allowed to beat you with popcorn bags. Them babies came to hear Ariana Grande and Cynthia Eviro, not Pam from the community theater troupe. GROW UP.

If the legacy media was doing its job and not sucking up to Trump, this would be a national scandal. “Republicans filed four more lawsuits to stop the counting of certain ballots in the Pennsylvania general election.” www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

RFK believes pandemic lockdowns were more restrictive and oppressive than the Holocaust, that vaccines cause autism, and that tap water may be turning kids gay. But, sure, let’s question whether the “conspiracist” label applies because some countries in Europe don’t fluoridate their water.

Naomi Beinart, 16: "We girls woke up to a country that would rather elect a man found liable for sexual abuse than a woman...Where the body I haven’t fully grown into may no longer be under my control. The boys, it seemed to me, just woke up on a Wednesday."

As a highly-regarded public intellectual I have just come to Bluesky and found it extremely closed-minded and unreceptive to important new ideas, including the one about what a highly-regarded public intellectual I am. Also nobody with girl names responded to my chats, which were also intellectual.

Terrifying to read and realize this massive messaging platform is managed by only 35 people? Insane. That's purposeful.

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens. Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”

Blocking Nazis, trolls, and fascists doesn’t make it an “echo chamber.” People need to stop gaslighting us into thinking we have to listen to Nazis and debate trolls in order to be informed.

We may not agree about politics or religion,,, but we can all agree that we want Mike Tyson to knock out Jake Paul

I'll never forget getting Billy Hatcher and The Giant Egg from Blockbuster. This reminded me of that, I loved that random game! Devastated they only made one!!!

Why wouldn’t EVERYONE want to see the ethics report on Matt Gaetz? If he did nothing wrong, it would exonerate him, no?

💪

I don't think we can underestimate what people will get used to

Seeing more and more unsavory types trying to set up here, figured it would be good to post The Image

Chappell Roan sounds like a place they have to defend in Lord of the Rings.

Yeah I’m into fitness. Fitness hot dog up my sleeve to secretly eat it during a lunch meeting.

Goodreads is owned by Amazon & there is an AMAZING alternative‼️ The StoryGraph is a black women-owned competitor to GoodReads with better UI in my opinion. When you sign up you can even transfer your data from Goodreads to StoryGraph!
