Again. Not. A. Drag. Queen.

I notice that some people do not understand that #TeslaTakeDown is also a warning to other corporate "leaders" that they too can be next in terms of public repudiation that will destroy their brands.

NEW: A majority of Democratic voters (65%), and an even larger majority of Independents who lean Democratic (80%), say the party is not doing enough and needs to fight harder against the Trump administration. www.dataforprogress.org/datasets/pol...

Probably wouldn't agree with Danielle Sassoon on many policy issues but good for any conservative that sticks up for the rule of law. There are sadly way too few: www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Another #stuntbaby in the House, who thinks the only reason they are there is to self-promote. #grifters

GenX was the first US generation to really get fucked. We've lived through every major economic catastrophe since Kennedy. Pell grants got slashed while I was in college receiving Pell Grants. The housing market crashed 12 mo. after I bought my home. Every time we get ahead, we get fucked. 1/

Surprising no one....#45 throws a temper tantrum.

This all sounds good, but it looks like its already included in the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, passed in 1977. www.trade.gov/us-foreign-c....

You shouldn't have to lose everything to save your life.

And this is why they keep losing. Stop punching hippies and start punching bullies.

Stuff like this is hard to read. There was an appetite in the country for change...but none was really offered. One candidate was a change back. The other was a change in name only. Change back was closer to "change" than "change in name only", and that's why #45 won.

AOC: I don’t care what Elon Musk is doing behind the presidential seal, but in this country we hate Nazis. Kind of like a foundational defining thing. Two of the foundational things about American history is that we beat the confederates and we beat the Nazis.

So yeah, when bird flu starts getting transmitted from human to human, you will never know. And that will mean people will die. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Maybe we should call him Elon StrangeMusk. #ELONMUSK #Dr.Strangelove #Salute

FFS, how did @nytpitchbot.bsky.social not already predict this...

"It was a Roman salute" is an updated version of "actually, the Buddhists also used swastikas." If you are using it post-1945, you know very well that the association has changed.

Russian oligarchs and American oligarchs are two entirely different things - one uses its wealth to influence government and social policy and the other uses its wealth to influence government and social policy, but reassuringly speaks English.

What the actual fuck?

I can see it now... MAGA taking credit for something under Biden's watch that had nothing to do with either of them. bUT trUMP BROughT BaCK ThE pANDDS!!!! #FML

This may be true. On the other hand, if he keeps fathering children, he'll keep making humans no one wants to fuck...which isn't helping his central thesis.

New WSJ poll affirms my central thesis about the 2024 election: American voters are fucking idiots. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Creating kinda my own version of what @dansavage.bsky.social used to do with his Youth Pastor Watch — in my own way, tracking specific things I think are really important as we begin Trump 2.0. Sucks that it's necessary but HERE WE ARE Subscribe to support! evanhurst.substack.com/p/who-grooms...

Really? Is that reflected on any WB/Discovery earnings call? Has this been previously disclosed to shareholders? Seems like something they might want to know. And if its the case, what kind of fine would actually hurt a company that makes $41b annually?

Agreed. Had Biden said this in his first 100 days, that might be something. Now, its an admission of failure.

Corporations worldwide are spending untold billions to make this technology the frontal experience of every user interface, for some fuckin reason.

Shades of the Iran deal circa 1980. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/01...

Since Watergate, the unemployment rate went down during every Democratic administration. Since Watergate, the unemployment rate went up during (nearly) every Republican administration. The latest installment in the "facts you don't hear a lot about" series.
