Not sure if I want to laugh or cry at this message I got from a friend, "When the nuclear dust settles on our ruined planet, the cockroaches 🪳 will know that you tried to stop the madness."
Dos de los ancianos —ambos rondan los ochenta años— terminaron su café. Al marcharse, bromearon con los de la mesa diciendo que iban a ir a recoger las boyas del Río Bravo que se habían soltado para venderlas como chatarra.
Morning laugh: Two of the viejitos left coffee, both are in their 80s. As they left they joked with the table that they're going to go round up the runaway Rio Grandes buoys and sell them for scrap.
It would be nice if the media was as interested in Ken Paxton as they are in Graham Platner.

Kateration@kateration.bsky.social · 2mo agoSomeone has been projecting images all over D.C. “It’s swampier than ever.” The Kennedy Center one is pretty hilarious. 😂😂😂
"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."
What phrase do you use in Spanish as an equivalent to "watch party"? We've gone through a bunch of suggestions and our table can't agree #AskBsky #AskBluesky

We have no money. You know this. Why do you keep asking why we’re not doing things we used to do? It’s because we have no money. We. Have. No. Money. We have no money. There is no money left. It’s all gone. None of us have it. No money. Nope. Money gone. We don’t have it. No.

Trump's insecurities about Mamdani will soon surpass his insecurities about Obama and while Trump already seems to be prepping an attack on/ICE invasion of NYC as a result, I genuinely think it may spectacularly backfire IN PART bc other Americans are being reminded that they too actually love NYC.

As a reminder for everyone saying, "The US had never before scored four goals in a World Cup" that they mean the men's team had never before scored that many. The women's team has absolutely scored more than four goals in a world cup, including in the final. And they also wins things.
Seattle elects a socialist mayor, wins the Super Bowl NYC elects a socialist mayor, wins the NBA finals Win your city a major sports title with this one neat trick
The Knicks only lost one game in the last two months and it was the one Trump went to lmao
I had no idea men played soccer, too! Good for them! Go boy soccer!! ⚽️
How long it takes and how hard it is to undo the damage will depend in large part on the political will of the people elected to do it. If you get hand-wringing caveat peddlers who want to deliberate for years before acting it'll never happen. Plan has to be ready on day one
Nothing says “dying civilization” like gladiator fights at the capitol for the emperor’s amusement.
