Wes Anderson's new movie is such a fun weird brilliantly stupid little movie. I recommend everyone go see it, at 90 minutes #thePhoeniciansSheme is just a great pallette cleanser for the mind. Shout out to the excellent role played by Cera and the strong lead of Threapleton and Del Toro. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

A fantastic article by Ashley Parker and @michaelscherer.bsky.social and honestly I think a must read for the left and for Trump supporters alike. We need to be clear eyed about who he is, and this is as clear eyed as it gets.

In two conversations with The Atlantic, Donald Trump projected an air of invincibility, while seeking to distance himself from the most controversial parts of his own presidency. Read more in our new cover story:

I really hope to share work in the coming months here that showcases what I learned and the push ahead that I greatly needed which this conference definitely gave me. Follow so I'd have the binding guilt every creator needs to not procrastinate.

1/ This is once again "right" instead of "smart" democratic reasoning. The problem with the Democratic party is the perceived policy of the party rather than real policy. Dems are perceived as if they want to defund the police. It stuck. DEI is perceived as an anti-white hiring practice.

Nicholas Grossman@nicholasgrossman.bsky.social · last yr.

As president, Joe Biden made “fund the police, fund them” a pause-for-applause line at the State of the Union. Senate Dems unanimously voted against defunding the police and publicly touted that afterwards. They literally did the suggested “move to the center” on this. It’s not a serious argument.

It's my genuine belief that for the progressive left there is no depth, only shallow performative virtue signaling. The goal isn't to improve the world, it's to have a world that needs improving. Discussion is not allowed, dissenting opinions are not allowed, compromise is not allowed. In or out.

Quick! This person who's on my side isn't 100% aligned with me, I should push him out so I could keep my moral superiority as everything crumbles around me and I lose everything. But hey, at least I got to signal to everyone how virtuous I am. This is one of the reasons why we keep losing.

Pete Hegseth just reportedly ordered the US military’s Cyber Command to “stand down” from all planning against Russia. Analysts have been ordered not to follow or report on Russian threats. One inside source said, “Putin is on the inside now.”

Trump administration retreats in fight against Russian cyber threats

Recent incidents indicate US is no longer characterizing Russia as a cybersecurity threat, marking a radical departure: ‘Putin is on the inside now’

Am I missing something? What do people think is going on in bathrooms? You go into a stall, do your business, step out, wash your hands and leave. I get that stalls in the US are basically see through, but that sounds more like an issue with doors than it is with the gender of the visitor.

Ex-Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel spouts transphobic talking points to Bill Maher. "Look, in seventh grade, if I had known that I could have said the word ‘They’ and got in the girls bathroom, I would have done it."

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.gov · 2y ago

An unelected shadow government is conducting a hostile takeover of the federal government. DOGE is not a real government agency. DOGE has no authority to make spending decisions. DOGE has no authority to shut programs down or to ignore federal law. DOGE’s conduct cannot be allowed to stand.

There is a certain beautiful irony that the anti-anarchy party is speed running into real anarchy. The literal definition of it, not the "I hate people shouting in the street" kind.

For 5$ a year, or even 30$ at full rate it's truly a no brainer thing to do. So everyone really should subscribe to WIRED.

Now, with alt text, to ensure everyone fully understands exactly what we're dealing with with the 19-yo Canadian calling himself Big Balls who, along with a few other nerds, seem to have had exclusive control over the United States Treasury Department since Friday

Okay. We're looking at a skinny white boy with a haircut one can only describe as Skibidi Hitler Youth: completely shaved around the sides and back, with a curly broccoli poof the ipad kids wear so often. He's white. His face is that pink white that only looks innocent on white redheads, but his legs are tan. How i can see his bare legs to know they're tan, that comes later. He is 19, and looks 16, tops. He is Canadian, and you somehow know that looking at him. He has a smug little baby brat boy look on his face. He is wearing a light lilac button down shirt, with what looks like a blazer his parents bought him, hoping he'd eventually fill out so it'd fit him, but he never did. The button down is untucked, hanging loose and longer than his too short but still oddly oversized blazer. The blazer is light grey, but not the kind of light grey that goes with his light lilac shirt, or his pink white complexion. His arms are crossed in front of his chest, petulantly. He is wearing light grey shorts, but neither the same light nor grey of his blazer. They are flatfront shorts, straight leg, and hit above the knee, revealing his tanned legs, legs much tanner than his face. I hate him. He calls himself Big Balls. He has control over the US Treasury.

If a 19-year-old Canadian who calls himself Big Balls marches into your federal agency and demands access to your system, telling him to fuck right off should be the mildest reaction you have.

Axl@axlp.bsky.social · 2y ago

1/ It needs to be said, there is one big benefit of a second Trump administration. We already know him and his tricks, and we know exactly what he's planning. Be smart about it, don't fall for his usual antics. The Trump playbook is pretty simple.

Axl@axlp.bsky.social · 2y ago

Not difficult either since what they mean is quite literally "non-white"/"non-straight"/"non-male". Most often, it's the first too. They just found a way to say Black, without saying it outright.

Ida Bae Wells@nhannahjones.bsky.social · 2y ago

Reporters: Please stop calling things DEI that are not DEI. This is only cementing the propaganda being used to legitimize the dismantling of all types of initiatives that are not DEI as well as legitimize efforts to end civil rights enforcement. Be specific with your language. Be accurate.

Jim Acosta announces on air that he's leaving CNN and says, "it is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant ... don't give in to the lies."

This will probably reach no one, but I have to try. Billionaires are made with our money- we buy their products, invest in their stocks. No more. It's time to defund them starting with #DefundElonMusk. No more X, no more Tesla. Sell your stocks, buy other cars. Don't invest a single dime in Musk.
