Home to one of the most bonkers lines in not just Star Trek but really any television show ever

It sure does take a lot of cops to protect Elon's feelings.

just realized tipsy Mattin with his mens has very drunk Evy in The Mummy energy

👇🎯 The public isn't going to understand this, unless the presidents of R1 universities around the country <loudly> & <collectively> get out into the public square & start explaining this & calling out the existential threat to the entire 🇺🇸 university system. The silence is deafening right now.

the thing is, this is effective even if you can’t get in and occupy the place nobody coming to buy a car wants to cross a line of cops and angry protesters, they’re gonna go somewhere else, this is not a desirable purchasing experience

its kind of crazy to see people go back to saying da r word all the time like if you were doing it for the past 10 years or whatever i guess thats one thing but if u stopped then started again when u felt like it came back in vogue or something thats really bizarre behavior

Elon Musk is so rattled by the grassroots Tesla protests that he’s blaming George Soros and a guy who died 5 years ago. Go to TeslaTakedown.com to find a protest near you.

it's very annoying that health stuff and uh... my government had delayed this book so long because it's not a book that will get a large number of readers (even by my small-author definition of "large") but it's all I got rn so it must go out. But there is no describing it in a way to sell anyway

summarizing today and uuggghhh

While Trump & Musk DOGE cut the federal workforce and federal contracts leaving THOUSANDS of Americans UNEMPLOYED, Elon Musk & his family are flying for FREE on Air Force. MUSK is a BILLIONAIRE!! Why are OUR taxes paying for this? THIS is fraud, waste, & abuse. tribune.com.pk/story/253234...

Apparently Tesla isn't selling any cars which also means it's not selling carbon credits. It made 2.7 billion in carbon credits last year. Carbon credits is largely what has kept the company afloat

You can have the cops come beat the shit out of your students to prove you’re not a filthy commie and they’ll still do this to you and all you’ll have done is show everyone what a pathetic little coward you are. Might as well do the right thing the first time

I reiterate:

well this made me cry over breakfast. to any democrats holding even a shred of power right now: look at what’s possible from people far more endangered and vulnerable than you and grow a spine, you fucking cowards www.erininthemorning.com/p/powerful-s...

congrats to the independent pharmacy in my town that's about to get a lot of business when the Walgreens closes in a year

LAWSUIT: LGBTQ student group sues to overturn Texas A&M’s unconstitutional drag ban

I hope Democrats are doing a mailing with excerpts from that report to every person in a red state.

without section 230, you could have a world where bluesky is liable for me calling this man a clueless, tech illiterate, fascist enabling motherfucker

i am once again saying that if you allow polling to define rights, you don't have any real rights at all

Democrats even *thinking* about joining Republicans to censure Al Green for having the courage to stand up while they sat down do not deserve to be able to generate a single fundraising dollar from a person of moral character ever again.

There's literaly an mRNA vaccine to treat pancreatic cancer in the works. It's shown promising results in a Phase 1 trial. Most people with pancreatic cancer are dead within 5 years. It's what killed Patrick Swayze.

There's a bill that will likely come up for a vote in the next month which would make it a mandatory ground of deportation for having been convicted of a single DUI. His Chief of Staff was just arrested for a DUI and Johnson is almost entirely downplaying it.

The world is clamoring for more muppets. But disney refuses to use them for anything but promoting their other properties, probably because puppeteers are unionized and you can't replace them with a non-union vfx worker like every other aspect of their movie production

waiting on Atticus to load......... when Atticus glitches, it truly glitches

why is this not a gigantic fucking scandal that we're talking about 24/7. an unelected billionaire is fueling threats against federal judges and he just keeps on with his wanton destruction of the federal government

This exact bill has died in the Senate committee before, and it's in the committee now! Here's a list of senators on the committee and their office phone numbers. Names in bold are up for re-election. PLEASE call your senators and tell them to vote NO on the SCREEN ACT. See alt text for numbers.

I didn’t watch this but am I to understand that an elderly Black man stood up to a fascist, was then escorted out, and most of the white people in the room sat there and did nothing? Am I getting this right? I want to make sure before I say what I need to say.

If Russia wants peace, they should end the invasion.

THAT DIDN'T TAKE LONG: Plaintiffs in one lawsuit against DOGE have alerted the court to President Trump's remarks tonight calling Elon Musk the "head" of the office.

Wyden’s “over my dead body” attitude toward the privatization of social security on the senate finance committee is bracing, but I also think he just made a really impactful smart point about how Medicaid cuts mean nursing homes will close in Oregon. that might be a useful data point for some folks

On my calls tomorrow to all my various representatives Fed & statewide I am going to be able to really REALLY use this phrasing. Thanks to Sen. Wyden & to @clairewillett.bsky.social for posting this thread.

Timbo gets it

I went to Costco AND cleaned the shower today. I'm a champion who deserves a little treat. Which will probably be an apple. I've been obsessed with them since @vashti-lives.bsky.social had me watch a @hoots.bsky.social video about Helen Gurley Brown that ended up being a commercial for apples

Hey Florida pals - voter registration / party change deadline is this coming Monday, March 3!!! @thepersistnetwork.bsky.social @gayforcongress.bsky.social @joshweil.bsky.social #FlipFlorida #SnatchTheHouse #FloridaVotesMatter

Already hearing that Republican members have been showing up to the House floor trying to take up the Dem side seats for the joint address 💀

1. Today, Senate Democrats showed spine, and killed a national transgender sports ban bill via filibuster. Not a SINGLE Democrat voted for cloture. S. Baum writes about what happened today, including some of the speeches. Subscribe to support our journalism.

here’s the thing: why wouldn’t you treat every dumbass idea as potentially worthwhile when a month later you can just go “oopsies” and no one holds you accountable for giving credence to stupid shit?

Remember.. Due to the #SaveAct coming up for a vote w/a reasonable chance of passing.. for married women who took their husband's name (or changed your name for any reason) & don't have a passport.. you're the 1st #women to lose voting rights. Here's @politicsgirl.bsky.social youtu.be/nZocqZvcYn8

Musk doing all this shit to make money (that he doesn't need) and then after breaking it, to swoop in and make more money selling us (lol "selling") his shitty products that break and don't work to "save" us. This man wanted to be liked and a hero and yet chose evil dickwad as his path instead.
