i’m kind of amazed at how this is just the crudest, most obvious n****rbaiting you can imagine. “the people you don’t like, yeah, they are responsible for everything bad.” and it works!

Anguished that the Cybertruck suicide gets 1000x more coverage than the FBI arresting guy with the biggest bomb cache in agency history--who does target pracrice on a photo of Biden's face, and... www.bbc.com/news/article...

Tired of people "addicted to sarcasm"? "foulmouthed"? use hashtags like bluecrew and RESISTANCE and post nothing but facebook quality memes of trump kissing elon? who are also, via followback schemes, undoubtedly either dumb or malign? i got a block list for ya bsky.app/profile/did:...

Many X users claim that Elon Musk superfan Adrian Dittman is really Musk himself, tweeting from a different account. But X user @JohnBarron isn't so sure.

Donald Trump has lost his appeal in the E. Jean Carroll defamation case. Here's why that's bad news for Joe Biden.

Christmas time is Denmark time, which means: It's lichen time!

Snapdragons are my favorite flower to grow. They do however produce seed pods that look like the screaming skulls of the damned.

I’d love to know where these people get their information because the person they think they voted for literally doesn’t exist.

This is a good piece, and speaks to the broader cultural trend of Americans not just missing the point of all sorts of cultural touchstones, but deciding with absolute certainty that the opposite of the point is the point and being furious with anyone who corrects them.

Reading the pardon coverage...I don't think the significance of the Gaetz/Patel/Bondi nominations has sunk in. People still aren't getting what a politicized DOJ and FBI, with the power to arrest/bug/harass anyone for any reason, would be able to do.

Mary Tyler Moore accidentally nailed a perfect trick shot in *The Dick Van Dyke Show* (1962)—on the FIRST take. It was supposed to be done by a pro, but she shocked everyone and pulled it off herself. Absolute legend. 🎱✨ #ClassicTV #FunFacts

just want to remind folks that anyone can read your skeets & it’s unwise to confess to any crimes you might be planning to commit here.

This made me laugh out loud

imagine the Top Reported Food Crimes feed. we have the technology

Oh how my DMs have missed guys in cowboy hats who proudly display banners of their liquor collections.

low key the most egregious condescension is this idea that conservatives do not have agency and are not making choices but are purely reactive and have no mind of their own

What is the working class? Many invoke it in this election, but no one defines it. How much is it economic, when a plumber can make 10x as much as adjunct professor? How much is it cultural/an identity, or the kind of labor? Why so many 1930s white-guy versions when so many are women and BIPOC?

I need whomever decided to put the end of election season and the start of seasonal depression back-to-back to pay for someone to come deep clean my apartment

Blue theme for #sundayfishsketch with the Bluegill!

Is the media really doing this again? No, Donald Trump did not make his personal criminal defense lawyer the number two person at DOJ to "protect" the agency from Trump. Please stop.

In discussing poetry, often a distinction is drawn btw the language of landscape and of emotion. Is it not known that all language of landscape is in fact the language of emotion? 昔人論詩詞、有景語情語之別。不知一切景語、皆情語也。 Wang Guowei 王國維, 1910 #everynightapoem

I've decided to hawk the book and the game once and precisely once this entire holiday season, so I figured I'd get in a head start before you're all inundated, and today's the day. Dog not included.

Make America make sense again. I love this book.

In politics clarity is its own opportunity. The storm of the 2024 election has created great clarity. The richest man in the world, Elon Musk, and 3rd richest man in the world, Jeff Bezos, are currently asking a group of Trump judges to end the right to organize & join a union in the United States.

First, the owner of the LA Times spiked the editorial board’s endorsement of Harris. Now he has gone full MAGA

Sarah McBride: "It is an attempt to distract ... Every single time we hear them say the word 'trans,' look what they're doing with their right hand. Look at what they're doing to pick the pocket of American workers, to fleece seniors by privatizing Social Security and Medicare."

The response to this had been mainly "the people doing this are not actually leftist or aren't real people" and I'm sorry but that's just wishful thinking

"Here the numbers as they actually exist in the real world: Transgender: 1 percent Muslim: 1 percent Jewish: 2 percent Black: 12 percent Live in New York City: 2 percent Gay or lesbian: 3 percent" If they're this divorced from reality I guarantee these folks cannot conceive magnitude of $1bn

I say this with affection: I love how worked up people are about this post. No seed oil silos here.
