it's called throwback because if you recognize the songs you're likely to throw out your back. not many people know this

can't believe it's 2025 and i'm stressed about tariffs and measles, like am i a character in an american girl book

HEY EVERYONE REMEMBER WHEN TRUMP WAS IMPEACHED FOR DENYING AID TO UKRAINE BECAUSE HE WANTED ZELENSKY TO LIE AND SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT BIDEN AND ZELENKSY WOULDN’T DO IT? Maybe literally one fucking American newspapers could mention this in their, “think pieces,” about what happened yesterday.

Elon telling hundreds of thousands of federal employees to email him their accomplishments for last week.. Is what every awful middle manager does to make himself feel important Federal employees aren’t HIS employees ffs That boxy bastard need to answer his concubine’s emails

I don’t understand how there’s any debate about whether to characterize them as Nazis when they’re out here sieg heiling. It’s an absolute failure of messaging not to name and condemn this behavior, and build a narrative around it.

Keep sharing. Bezos doesn’t want anyone to see it.

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

Oh my god I just saw a review of Much Ado About Nothing (current west end production) which states that “the dialogue felt dated”. DID IT? Did it really? Couldn’t have something to do with being written over 400 years ago, could it? 🤣🤣🤣🤦🏼‍♀️

If hell exists, there's got to be a special place there for someone who wears a conspicuous cross whilst spewing blatant lies in every breath to cover up pure evil.

I think the reason people are frustrated with Democratic leaders is that they expect these elected representatives to act like a real disaster is happening, which it is. Four-day weekends and bratwurst junkets in Munich kind of undercut that

I know the below thread may seem like doomerism to some, but I prefer to be clear-eyed and realistic. Tangible solutions come from staring hard reality in the face. Especially weeks into a constitutional crisis.

The good old days (sincere).

Nothing to see here

🚨

Every day they claim they're finding vast amounts of fraud in the federal government. Fraud is a crime. They've made zero criminal complaints. Odd.

@elrickane.bsky.social's The Dead Thing is the kind of sexy-scary that factors into most online meet-ups.

We literally have science fiction on why this is a bad idea.

This is sort of the skeleton key to understanding a lot of shit: there 100% is a non-trivial amount of inefficiency and waste in the federal bureaucracy, and most of it is a *direct result* of ‘reforms’ that are meant to assuage the people who complain about “waste and inefficiency in govt”

Heart Eyes is the perfect blend of dropout and A Wounded Fawn. @joshruben.bsky.social is not a name to be overlooked.

Does “Golden Age” refer to a time when planes keep crashing, eggs cost $10–15 a dozen, the U.S. is being booed and protested by all our allies, workers are losing their jobs, and Americans’ personal data is being rummaged through by unelected oligarchs and their strange crew of 20-something incels?

There it is

They're eating the checks! They're eating the balances!

Musk is the living embodiment of AI: a broken, tech-bro tool that inserts itself into everyone's life unsolicited and makes everything worse.

I never thought I'd ever see the day an entire country got asset stripped by venture capitalists. But I guess that's capitalism for you.

*smugly* bet you "do somethings" wish you'd voted for the OTHER genocide candidate now, hm?

Can’t believe our country is being run by the villains from Buffy Season 6
