Enough. Finally muted the word trump. And the word kitty. And the phrase “Dutchman’s point.” I hate euchre

drugs have taken too many beloved celebrities from us over the years but drugs also have a rare chance right now to radically rehabilitate their image

gravedigger of american democracy. a more malign influence than john c calhoun.

i think it is cool that de facto first consul of the united states is a drug-addled maniac and deadbeat dad with a breeding fetish

Doubling down: we must break the polite norm in straight reporting against acknowledging when somebody is very obviously not sober during their public ramblings. You don't have to speculate on what substance, but "appeared to be under the influence" is an objective, highly relevant fact to report.

Given the massive cost savings of telehealth appointments, the only explanation is that they want to kill people. And by people, I mean your parents and your kids. And you.

Laying in bed, surrounded by my loved ones: that was NOT a death rattle

Was in an argument yesterday about Elon and found myself saying, “depends how you define Nazi”

Everyone knows that normal politics is dead in the trump era; what democratic reps presuppose is: what if it’s not?

hey. no. stop. it would own me so much if they built the plane as fast as possible with fewer security checks. id feel so bad if they used elmers glue. id cry so many liberal tears if they used scotch tape.

"We don't know who is legally in charge of DOGE" is blowing right past all the Appointments Clause problems with admitting it's Musk and leaping headlong into breaking the fundamental inherent structure of what a government even is, people and agencies who report to some kind of officeholder.

Lordy Lordy look who am become death destroyer of worlds

Remember guys, bullies never win; they only appear to win and live under material circumstances indistinguishable from those of a winner

(Musk in the Oval Office): Hrrrmm, better cut another 200 air traffic controllers and get this all sorted out.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Love my new morning routine of waking up, brewing some coffee, logging on and checking the End Times Billboard to see what new Calamities were pinned there overnight. Then I ride that cortisol high, like I'm surfing on piranhas and broken glass, baby.

seems like it is a big deal that the unifying ideology of the doge team is neo nazism

Paddington has been shot down in Syrian airspace

Had a fun time at the neighborhood dealership today!

Look there’s a fundamental problem here where a plurality of citizens literally don’t know or care what is true, and yet they vote How do we reach these people??

If someone voted for Trump because of inflation, despite fact that Biden got inflation down & Trump’s policy was guaranteed to raise inflation, it is functionally equivalent to saying they voted for Trump because they were the victims of an incredibly effective disinformation campaign.

this is a good example of the attitude that has led democrats down the road to disaster. it rests on the belief that public opinion cannot be shaped or mobilized or moved, only reacted to

Not so stupid for stocking up on health and human services now, am I?

Hey does anyone remember the Right being obsessed with New World Order and fighting any North American free trade deals because they would lead to judgement day or something? Wonder what they think of Trump aching for Canada?

for people who excuse Google's — and now Apple's — capitulation on the orwellian renaming of the Gulf of Mexico as *of course they just use the official name*, please read Google's explicit policy on this question, from 2008. publicpolicy.googleblog.com/2008/04/how-... ht @dangillmor.bsky.social

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: an administration (and its supporters) who believe that they are not limited by the rule of law have no moral or philosophical claim to the protection of the rule of law. “The law is whatever we say it is” warrants the same in response.

We only know this man is in Gitmo because Noem tweeted a propaganda photo that included him and his sister saw it. He has no criminal record. He entered the US in January and immediately made an appointment with CBP to claim asylum. They sent him to a concentration camp bc of his basketball tattoo.

By now I am waiting for news about Musk selecting one of his many children to cross his bloodline with one of Trump heirs. I bet this is the lesson he got out of watching Dune.
