Just say you want a king, Republicans. Just fucking do it. You know you want to. It will feel good when you say it out loud. www.huffpost.com/entry/donald...

I wish this wasn't the case, but the only way to get through this insanity brought on by Trump, Musk, and the Republicans is for a lot of people to suffer and hurt, and then for millions to mobilize and vote so that Republicans are never able to pull this shit again

America is a failed state

All of the horrible people enabling this madness need to be made to pay a significant price. They must be held accountable.

Trump allowing Musk and his band of teenage incel techbros to take over elements of the US government is itself an impeachable offense and we're only on week 3 of the administration

I will never fucking forgive America for what they are doing to the world, and the real shit hasn't even started yet

The craziest thing about all the shit going down in America is that it's going to get much worse before it gets any better

We are watching a hostile takeover of the US government in real time. Fucking crazy shit

If you’re in an institution doing any kind of DEI work, the most important thing to do right now is simply call it something else. Change it to “Community Outreach” & then keep on doing the same important work. When they outlaw Community Outreach rebrand it as “Strategic Partnerships,” rinse/repeat.

I don't take joy in seeing other major video game studios struggle, but in a weird way it is kind of reassuring to know that Ubisoft isn't the only one out there having a hard time. Ubi may have its share of idiosyncratic issues, but there are industry-wide problems that all AAA developers face too

I go to tennis lesson for less than 2 hours and when I get back, I see that Trump pulled out of the WHO, pardoned all the J6ers, revoked Biden's AI safety executive order, and tried to gut birthright citizenship. What the actual fuck.

Best case scenario re: Trump 2.0: - Trump is too lazy to care about much more than grifting off the presidency - Infighting and incompetence prevent much from getting done legislatively - Everything they try to do gets tied up in courts - Democrats grow a backbone and oppose everything (unlikely)

Anyone stupid enough to buy Trump's memecoin deserves to lose their money, let's be real

Any reporting about the LA fires that doesn't have climate change front and center in the story is committing journalistic malpractice.

God damnit, I came to Bluesky to get away from all the Elon Musk bullshit over at Twitter, but I guess that's not possible is it

It's become increasingly clear that the US is not headed toward an outright authoritarian dictatorship under Trump, but rather a kleptocratic oligarchy, and that may be worse.
