Have you ever woken from a dream just to realize that you were still asleep? Do you ever wish you were still asleep? Do you ever wish you wouldn't wake up?

"I was a heroin addict for 14 years," RFK Jr just now in his bid to be confirmed as Secretary of HHS. Imagine a person of color or a woman saying that and people shrugging it off as cool. That is 100% pure uncut white male privilege right there.

Somehow "Elon Musk Is a Genius" and "Elon Musk Doesn't Know How Hands Work" are being said by a lot of the same people

You are way more likely to be murdered driving past a crack den in South Carolina then you are to be murdered in a big city. This isn't a debatable issue, it is a fact.

That's fucking crazy because here it's not even illegal to beat cops with flagpoles!

So this is just a Roman hoodie, right?

this choice of photos by the Carter Center is shadier than a Georgia peach tree in summer

Today, we mourn the loss of a true American hero, President Jimmy Carter. A champion of human rights, urban renewal, and peace, his legacy will forever inspire.

Sue me, you melted orange scrotum with eyes

Bless her heart.

So @bsky.app has an enormous bot problem. These are like non stop!

Just going to leave this here. 👇

Hang this in the Louvre

The Hunter Biden story is a perfect encapsulation of what’s wrong with American media: Is it a story? Sure. But every newspaper in America devoting front page headlines to Hunter fucking Biden while Trump appoints a cabal of rapists, racists and con-men to positions of enormous power is MADNESS.

Takes like this are nuts. How did Trump justify his last couple hundred pardons, one more nakedly obscene, political and personal than the next? Answer - he didn’t. Trump doesn’t bother justifying or explaining anything He does what he wants. Always has, always will. Wake up.

Trump is about to get into office and pardon a bunch of January 6th rioters who beat cops with flagpoles and tried to overturn the country for him... Spare me the fake ass outrage over Biden pardoning Hunter.

The lack of self-awareness is almost impressive.

A homophobes dancing to YMCA is tantamount to antisemites dancing to Hava Nagila.

These folks have called anyone who isn't MAGA a commie libtard groomer for the better part of a decade but now that they have reelected their rapist felon, the sanctimonious bullshit is off the charts. It's suddenly "sad" that magas are being treated the way they treat everybody else 🙄

I get the pushback to Bluesky in that it further bifurcates our media ecosystem. But at this point, Twitter’s content moderation is so nonexistent and its verified users so extreme that the choice becomes either move away from Twitter or be subjected to straight up 4chan nazi bile on a daily basis.

Like always, the call is coming from inside the house

This was a really good year for music so I couldn't decide 🙃

The most baffling part is that CNN thinks there is an audience for this. Who is it?

No, Nancy, she's actually a much better person than you are. You're more equal to a flashlight without batteries, in that both of you exist but you don't actually work.

Saw Smile 2 yesterday and it was probably the best horror sequel I've seen in years. Watching The Substance today and 🤯 wow! I feel so blessed by the Gods of horror cinema rn holy shit

Thinking about the people in Congress today who risk walking into the Capitol restroom only to find Nancy Mace spread eagle with the stall door wide open, because she thinks that's how public restrooms work.
