Guy who doesn’t even respond to the mothers of his children: reply to my email or you’re fired

"Pierbattista Pizzaballa" sounds like JK Rowling trying to add an Italian to Hogwart's

Doing this while your child's mother is frantically trying to get in touch with you

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

People overemphasize Turkish delight as not good enough to sell out your siblings for when the actual dynamic at work is the sociopathy of the larval British person

Don't be modest, @nytimes.com, @theatlantic.com, @theguardian.com. Take a bow. What a beautiful atrocity you've built.

this is from a new report on a “third way” on DEI and it is unbelievably naive, which in my view is emblematic of the author, rich kahlenberg, whose willingness to extend good faith to obvious bad faith actors borders on gullibility www.progressivepolicy.org/a-way-out-of...

Amazing ego-deflating moment yesterday at lunch. Staff member comes over. ‘I think we have one of your books in the office.’ Me (smugly flattered): that’s entirely possible. He: yes, you left it here last time you visited.

Every so often I remember that Oprah brought us Dr Phil, Dr Oz and The Secret but the only person she brought back to destroy on her show was the guy who pretended to be a worse drug addict than he actually was in a book

It’s a death cult. They worship the loss of life, and take joy in forcing more death on anyone they can.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

This is how it’s done.

free luigi all health insurance companies are mass murderers

LIKE for yes REPOST for yes REPLY for yes

Blowback Season 6's trailer is out and its going to be about Angola- I'm very excited. I'm a big fan of the program and Noah Kulwin is a good friend. No one seems to have posted it on Bluesky both because it has only appeared on twitter and its more than a minute long (damn Bluesky!), so I will

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

Crazy to remember that Elon is only South African because his racist Canadian grandpa moved there but he’s such a gross piece of shit everyone assumes he’s a Boer

CALIFORNIA — ex NFL punter Chris Kluwe arrested for civil disobedience protesting at the city council in Huntington Beach, where the council planned a “MAGA” display on a plaque at the library. Context: www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootb...

when/if Democrats regain power they can win a permanent majority by becoming tough on crime: scams, fraud, corporate malfeasance, etc.

The people running the federal government hate New York City and want to punish people who live here for (by and large) having views and living lives that they dislike. Any gussied-up justification is working backwards from that desired result

ok on this one let’s let Elon Musk cook

What a shame. Teamsters deserve better than this.

Ex NFL player @chriswarcraft.bsky.social protesting the inclusion of a MAGA acronym in the Huntington Beach library plaque at last night’s council meeting. He was arrested and cited.

Man is going to charge you $100 to save you a nickel. And saving that nickel is also going to end up costing you $5000 at some point down the line. But it's nothing new, that's always been the definition of conservative economics, he just thinks it's groundbreaking because he's a dunce.

Cashing in an ableism chit to say RFK Jr is doing that, right? I mean come on

Interesting. Here's my alternative take: Kill it with fire.

Putting a heroin addict in charge of HHS and a drunk in charge of the Pentagon sounds like a bet two Greek gods would make.

in the control tower turning a big dial taht says "DEI" on it and looking back at the constant wreckage of airplanes like a contestant on the price is right

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

My whole family starts crying as the judge sentences me to get on a commercial flight

democrats won’t admit it, but my family’s economic outlook has gotten a LOT better since Trump took office. but what do i know? i don’t have a fancy economics degree, i’m just a regular guy who runs an airplane scrapyard

one of the stupidest things i have had the misfortune of reading today and i am sharing it with you.

new from me: Elon Musk's X appears to be blocking links to directly contact users on Signal Signal, the encrypted messaging app, has recently become a major tool for government workers looking to blow the whistle on DOGE
