@peter44.bsky.social a free-flowing Palace today? What is that sorcery?

There’s a 9-week wait to check out a digital copy of “1984” from my local public library, if you’re curious how much Orwellian angst there is out there at the moment …

America is in a deeply dangerous place right now and we are all vulnerable to the ignorant whims of two wildly unqualified lunatics www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

Chills from that amazing opening number at the #Grammys. Love me some Dawes, glad they got this platform. What an incredible backing band as well

Republicans never miss a chance to turn a tragedy into unfounded, outright bigotry

Is that the first cookies + biscuits combo game in Carolina basketball history? #GoHeels

To be fair to Arsenal, they did have to adapt to a different ball for today’s match #FACup

@alasdairgold.bsky.social @jaydmharris.bsky.social @dankp.bsky.social would I be reading too much into things if I noted that Bergvall was sitting above a nameplate that reads Veliz? Why would that be in the boot room for a player who’s ostensibly gone all season long?

Not just violence, chief. Gun violence. Call it what it is. It is a tragedy, beyond any shadow of a doubt. But it is not a surprise, given America’s collective refusal to mention, let alone do anything about, the guns

Looool

UNIVERSITY OF NATIONAL CHAMPIONS!

The core of this story is that since 2010, Republicans in North Carolina have tried with a great deal of success in silencing the voice of people they disagree with. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/09/u...

I’m always eager to hear what @zey.bsky.social has to say, and her view on this week’s news is as fascinating and thoughtful as one would expect www.nytimes.com/2024/12/06/o...

That was a fun #F1 season. Bummed to see it end but looking forward to all the variables that 2025 will bring (I still think Ferrari is making a mistake letting Carlos go btw…)

The far-right Republican "Freedom Caucus" says it officially opposes any more disaster relief aid for victims of hurricanes Helene and Milton. "Not one more cent to the Biden administration," they say. Hope that keeps some folks warm. thehill.com/homenews/hou...

That was an absolute, all-time, Hall of Fame episode of #Survivor. Wow

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen the Dean Dome empty out early quite like this. Fan sentiment is … not great (with good reason) #GoHeels

Absolutely farcical from race control and the race director there #F1

I wish I was as good at anything as Cory Alexander is at making everyone within earshot completely miserable. I’d rather listen to a goat bleat for 2 hours than endure him on commentary for a basketball game

One of the most committed servants this club has ever seen. I hope we keep him around as long as he want to stay #COYS #THFC

Good luck America www.cbsnews.com/news/cbs-new...

Project 2025 is the basic blueprint for the second Trump administration, exactly as everyone (including its authors) always said it was. Trump got his hardcore base to enthusiastically parrot his lies disavowing it because deep down, many of them see themselves "in on" the scam.

Tottenham Hotspur, what a club #COYS #THFC

This is not “new evidence,” @washingtonpost.com. It’s what he freaking campaigned on and has promised literally every day for the last four years 🤦‍♂️ wapo.st/3YUkH3W

@turbojunker.bsky.social if we’re gonna make this place as fun as peak Twitter, can you go back to live-tweeting Wheel of Fortune?

Is there literally one single person in the administration-elect that hasn’t been sued for connections to or accused of some kind of sexual or other misconduct? It can’t be this hard to string together a group of decent humans

Now, if Matt Gaetz would also just withdraw from society…

Gracias, Rafa

I, for one, cannot wait for the inevitable, explosive Trump/Musk falling out “A second person said that Musk has an ‘opinion on and about everything,’ and that he shares them so forcefully that he's begun to pester Trump insiders.” news.sky.com/story/us-ele...

HUGE news - last night, the outcomes of two extremely narrow races in North Carolina flipped when all valid absentee and provisional ballots were counted, with major implications. Both the NC Supreme Court race and Senate District 18 flipped from counting provisional ballots. #northcarolina

It’s starting to feel like Bluesky might actually be viable 🤞
