I would like to speak to the one who decided the sciatic nerve could be pinched in one’s sleep when it affects the whole fucking leg.

this is genuinely shocking. this is a very particular strain of american nazi shit - this isn’t a conspiracy theory that exists outside of that belief system. this is not something you would say if you aren’t well versed in neonazi talking points.

I don't understand why the DAILY MESSAGE from these losers isn't "ELON AND THE REPUBLICANS ARE STEALING FROM YOU TO ENRICH THEMSELVES AND THEIR BILLIONAIRE BACKERS." Why is this hard????????????????????/

Richest man in the world can’t even buy a good haircut huh

It's funny, people keep posting screenshots of news and journos posts from Twitter, when they have Bluesky accounts, and post the same stuff here you can just quote-post.

performative nothing was annoying a decade ago, now it’s fucking infuriating. bunch of cowards.

Bring back one cancelled TV show.

Again, "republicans are the good-at-economy party" is the most damaging lie of the past half century.

pretty clear that a big swath of America just doesn't even believe a war happening here is a possibility and so they just don't consider it as an actual real response we might get to repeated idiotic antagonism, and as someone who pays attention to history, I'm feeling increasingly wiggum

Just after midnight, 25% duties came into effect against Canada and Mexico. An additional 10% levy was imposed on Chinese goods on top of another 10% tariff that took effect earlier this month. A lower 10% duty was placed on Canadian energy imports.

the folks over at reddit were able to download CDC data sets and webpages before they were completely taken offline by trump. academics, health providers, and regular people should all be aware the data from december 2024 and prior is hosted at www.restoredcdc.org/www.cdc.gov/

Speaking from experience as a teacher: talk over him, pull out electronic devices and start making “content” mid-speech, share takis and get taki dust everywhere but especially on your fingers then try to shake his hand, groan constantly at everything that sounds like work. You will break him.

I know this is not legally exact, but...this is a breach of the full faith & credit of the United States of America. It's a betrayal of the most basic contract between the people and the nation: you give the nation the gift of a lifetime of toil, and the nation will support you in your later years

People about to be mad at a level this government hasn't seen in a couple centuries

Those projections must be a nightmare.

This is such a small thing but I wish they'd either gone full prima ballerina on that bun or left her hair down. It looks like when I pull my hair up when I get fed up with it.

I will never fully understand why "James McAvoy looking cranky" is so thoroughly devastating but him adding silver to his hair has only made it even more effective. Godddddd yes please.

old Soviet joke for our times: Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to. Guy says: “looking for an obituary.” Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.” Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

dear writers room mcbaldursgate why can’t you choose to romance wulbren and barcus in a love triangle where if you blow up the foundry it means betraying barcus, OR you remain true to barcus and betray wulbren, that would be awesome

Funny how that’s exactly also how missionaries work

I mean this in the best way: she looks like a perfume bottle

where’s she gonna sit tho

How dare the president of Ukraine try to speak authoritatively on the country he is president of

I think that. Something we have to consider is that, without significant changes to the federal government, that a lot of states have the same problem that foreign countries now have with the US -- you can't rely on something that every four years might just be torn apart.

her expression at the end is very 'but where are the accessories'

Every day should be like this for all of them. ALL OF THEM. ALL THE TIME. EVERYWHERE THEY GO. They shouldn't be able to go out to eat, to relax, to vacation, to shop, without someone making a noise.

Here is the co-founder of Substack blaming its users for seeing Nazis on the platform and then trying to deflect from the fact that Substack revenue shares with Nazis by saying he encounters more extremism here on Bluesky (which doesn't revenue share with Nazis). This is I ndefensible.

Brutal *and well-deserved*

I've said it before and will say it again -- the Trump administration is not acting like one that fears democratic accountability next year or in 2028. Draw your own conclusions.

guess he wasn’t yet done making copies to send to his favorite buddies

i want to see this energy and not a scintilla less

It doesn't happen often but this event has made me DEEPLY ashamed to be an American. Ukraine (and the world), I am truly embarassed and sorry for what my country is doing at the moment.

thread of anti-klan cartoons from 100+ years ago

Everyone knows what happened here. Trump can only exist around people he can causally humiliate. Guys lie JD and Rubio. He wanted to do a ritual humiliation of Zelensky and Ukraine but Zelensky wouldn’t accept that and so Trump reacted like a stung bitch.
