Zero Day reminds of one very important thing: a character played by Matthew Modine can never be trusted

Can’t imagine being an ICU nurse and the VA and having to write an email justifying your usefulness to a 20 year old trust fund brat that calls himself Big Balls

On Love is Blind, are we not going to talk about the fact that Taylor looks like Daniel’s mom?

Prediction: the Nаzi salute will become common within 2 years. RWers will half-аss it for plausible deniability, memeify the backlash, then start fully doing it "as a joke" "to troll the libs" "for being hysterical enough to think we were doing it in the first place"

The media never learns. The way they’re running with Elon “considering” sending everyone a $5k check, not having the brain space or work ethic to google “Elon transit system” or “Elon self driving taxis.” Steve Bannon was right about one thing. The media is stupid and lazy.

I am catastrophically unfunny and that’s why I put a laughing emoji after all my horrible thoughts that I claim are jokes

Looking forward to watching James Bond rough up a small business owner

My Roman Empire is that Elon Musk wouldn’t be the world’s richest man without government money Republicans specifically said he shouldn’t get and now he’s teaming up with them to lay waste to the rest of us so he doesn’t have to pay taxers on his ill gotten gains

I follow the logic at least, that Elon could be trusted with the keys to our money vault because he basically has unlimited money. The fatal flaw is that like 70% of people have a number that’s “enough,” but people like Elon are literally the greediest people in the history of civilization

I have been so excited since I found out this would be announced today! RIP any ability for me to concentrate: www.apple.com/tv-pr/news/2...

If you think these cuts will come from useless contracts that produce crap that doesn’t work, you are sorely mistaken

No notes

I think it’s safe to say that when people said they only want lower grocery prices, they were lying

Trump isn’t leaving office in 2029.

Republican used to defend monstrous policies by saying they were just abiding by the principle of not having government involved. Now they’re just like “Lol kidding. We’re just gonna be straight up monsters now”

Late Stage Capitalism: The richest man in the world denying life saving services to the poorest people on the planet, then lying about how much money the moves have saved, and even that made up astronomical figure isn’t even 10% of his wealth

Absolute joke considering how little Chuck Schumer has done in response to the collapse of the government

I know half the country is going to gaslight themselves into thinking they got a $5k check from the government when they actually didn’t because Elon off handedly mentioned it.

Does Elon Musk really think we didn’t try the “no regulations” thing before? Like we just made up rules out of thin air?

Is Trump doing the thing he explicitly said he was going to do? NPR is on the case

One improvement over the first Trump administration is that we don’t have to endure stupid “But Ivanka is secretly a good person” news stories this time around

This would be the same as if a burglar met with his victim’s neighbor to discuss possibly giving the homeowner a few items he stole back

So is JD Vance just going to be a petty condescension cicada? Just pop up every now and again to scold a room full of people

Any song talking about New York needs to include how they vote for insane megalomaniacs to be mayor that somehow become everyone’s problem

Not on his best day could @nytpitchbot.bsky.social write something as bad as this

Captain America: Brave New World was better than I expected. Certainly not Winter Soldier or Black Panther, but it’s entertaining. Also, I know why media critics hate it.

Why do all the contestants in Love is Blind sound like they’re communicating via email?

Even illiterate farmers in the 1800s eventually wised up to snake oil salesmen. How did we collectively lose that skill?

I love that Love is Blind insists on this veneer of respectability by calling this maniacal filmed disaster an “experiment.”

I hope Democrats didn’t try to save Eric Adams because of principle and not because they’re feckless and ineffectual

Eric Adams may actually go down as NYC’s worst mayor and that is astounding consider that mayoral office is a freak show factory

JD Vance, pinnacle of masculinity, describes how much needless suffering he went through listening to YouTube clips of Greta Thunberg

I do find the press’s lack of intellectual curiosity around some of the monstrous actions being taken staggering. No demand, for example, for Republicans to explain why they find 504 plans so objectionable because I can’t think of any principle other than just being a horrible person

Democrats have been disappointing (excluding right now, no excuse for @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov ), is because, for 50 years now, Republicans spend 4-8 years doing damage that will take generations to undo, and Democrats are given 4-8 years to undo it

Seriously, creative folks: Don't be afraid to let people know your stuff is out there for them, or worry that "now is not the time for that." People are stressed and freaked out and looking for the things that will give them a moment of rest and joy. It is EXACTLY the time for what we do. Tell them.

Thoughts and prayers are already swamped with gun violence, I don’t think they have the bandwidth for measles and polio, too

Do Republicans know that diseases kill rich white people, too?
