Derek Guy is a national treasure.

FFS democrats, stop focus group testing every damn thing into an homogenized pile of useless safe messaging. Republicans bring a bazooka, democrats bring a Taco Bell spork because they are worried they might hurt republican feelings.

Those flightless birds have been taking advantage of America for way too long.

Such a loss. Real Genius is one of my favorite movies, and Kilmer was the only person who was able to upstage Michelle Meyrink.

Okay, I'll admit it. I was wrong. Doomerism got the best of me. Congrats to the new Wisconsin supreme court judge Susan Crawford. And apparently musk can't buy every election.

Hey @jeriellsworth.bsky.social ! I’m certain you’ve seen this, but any thoughts? I’m intrigued, but worried about parts availability since it all appears custom, and general repairability for people like me who aren’t hardware wunderkinds like you. www.kickstarter.com/projects/won...

History is going to document two specific groups that employed real, live ACTUAL prognosticators who could genuinely see the future. The Simpsons and The Onion.

It is genuinely fascinating to see the entire judiciary, from Reagan appointees to Biden ones, rise to the level demanded by this crazy time, while the democrats in congress sit smugly and comfortably doing absolutely fuck all.

I absolutely hate that I 1) Can hear that voice in my head just by reading the words, and 2) realize how incredibly true it likely is.

I donated $25. If it upsets Jesse watters, count me in!

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

A reminder in dark times: kindness, mercy, decency, and respect towards the least of us enrages Trumpists. It burns them. It’s like a mirror that shows them how they fall short of humanity. Kindness and decency towards the people Trumpists hate is not just right; it torments Trumpists.

Can we finally dispatch with the lie of the "left-wing media?"

This whole thread, but especially this...

FFS. Is there ANYBODY that trump isn't going to permanently destroy our relationship with? Other than russia, obviously.

Because the democratic party worships decorum above all else. If president newsom did that, the press or the republicans might say something mean about them.

Jesus fucking Christ. What the fuck is with the democrats basically thinking that becoming republican lite is a winning strategy? ESPECIALLY AFTER THE 2024 ELECTION??
