One of the best albums of the 90’s. Essential listening since 1993. 🍸

This episode of Morning Meeting from @airmail.news worth your time. Oz Woloshyn does a superb job of reminding us that Elon Musk's companies have been beneficiaries of public handouts for 15 years. #Listen at the link. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/m...

He back on the Peruvian blow.

BREAKING: the stock market under Trump www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/i...

After we’ve discriminated against, deported, or disparaged all the immigrants, the gay and lesbian and trans people, the developmentally disabled, the women, and minorities. Once we’ve ostracized our neighbors and betrayed our friends, what comes next? -Gov Pritzker www.advocate.com/politics/jb-...

Someone should call the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center to see if management is ok with their property being used to promote Nazi ideology

A little too late for voters remorse now, you fucking morons - own it.

I have yet to see a single explanation for Hochul’s wait and see approach to Adams. What is the upside for her politically or is she just entirely incompetent?

Dialing back on journalism and sanewashing Trump is not the way. Capitulating to the whims of the regime out of fear of retribution is cowardly and irresponsible. This is the former network of Edward R. Murrow, Walter Cronkite, and Dan Rather.

They are all fucking unhinged.

This is grim AF.

He has no plans to run again. He’s never leaving.

Unbelievable.

These guys don't know how to dress themselves.

Weak sauce.

BREAKING — I've confirmed the DOGE staffers at SSA. They are Marko Elez (who was previously fired for racist posts and then reinstated), Ethan Shaotran, Nikhil Rajpal, and Gautier Cole-Killian. This is per Social Security Works, a non-profit working to protect/expand Social Security.

We need more @chriswarcraft.bsky.social in this country. Hero level civil disobedience.

Aw, look at those friendly, smiling, white male police officers! At least they’re wearing long sleeves so you can only guess which Christian nationalist tattoos they have. MAGA can’t wait to ram-rod their Bible down little school kids’ throats. This IS what they really voted for, after all.

I do not like this. Not one bit.

These feckless fucks need to start naming names. Name them. Every single one. This is not a game nor is it 1970’s level reporting. START. NAMING. SOURCES. Do it. Do it now.

Fox Business with Kudlow is playing on a 100” HD TV at a bar in the Strip. Lucky me, my media bubble saves me from idiots like him. Meanwhile, Kudlow looks like he’s one difficult bowel movement from having a stroke on the porcelain throne. Happy happy hour.

Fixed. Reality v Perception

New Jersey continues to solidify its reputation as the Florida of the Northeast.

President Plane Crash strikes again. Another one? How many does this make in the past four weeks? I’ve lost count. www.cnn.com/2025/02/19/u...

The employee is Gavin Kliger. He’s been named by multiple large news orgs. Not sure why NBC won’t.

Strange that Dana Carvey, Dan Aykroyd, Candice Bergen, Bill Hader, Jane Curtin were all missing from SNL 50.

Relax folks! Schumer and Jeffries are working on a strongly worded letter and using AI to craft images of guardrails to post on their X accounts.

"I will surround myself only with the best and most serious people." He said.

A friend of mine asked me last week, “I wonder if we elected McCain in 2008 instead of Obama if it would have saved us from Trump?” I looked him straight in the eye, said nothing, and poured my full martini over his shoes. True story.

My copy is on order!

For those who might not know, there is a Gift Links feed that's definitely worth adding to your account. If someone posts a paywalled article, chances are you find a *gift link* to it there. It’s the best feed on this site. bsky.app/profile/did:...

That image alone would secure our borders from being entered by insects, animals, birds, humans, clouds….

Weird because all I hear is his parrot begging for a clean place to shit.

Whew, this is so good. I really like Moxon’s style. “The kid may or may not have told the pet president that he isn't really the president and he should get out of the chair, which maybe he did, but it would still only make him the third most spoiled toddler in the room.” 👇🏻👇🏻

I’ve always preferred nice hotels with room service and daily housekeeping to camping in someone’s rental property with cheap sheets. It’s time to turn Airbnb into lodging for Tesla owners exclusively.

Marisa is correct. This is a must read piece. Read it. Then read it again. “Contrary to popular opinion, it is institutions, norms and laws — not elections — that constitute a functioning democracy.”

I knew she was good at tennis but this is just remarkable court coverage to be there at Stonewall on the front lines while she was a 12 year old living in Czechoslovakia without a passport at the time
