every news story since Tuesday has been like "the witch who lives in the mountains and saps the life force out of pets has been defeated by a band of plucky adventurers. All your pets are expected to live a little bit longer now"

It's wild that they sold so few of them, yet I see them all the time. I can only conclude that I have a higher population of dipshit dickheads around me.
Malcontent News@malcontentnews.bsky.social · 16h agoTesla is ending production of the Cybertruck. Elon Musk predicted that 250,000 would be sold per year. Since its introduction in late 2023 as a 2024 model, Tesla has sold fewer than 70,000 Cybertrucks, with thousands shipped to SpaceX due to a lack of buyers.
Can we legislate that once you've told a notification on a device that you don't want whatever it's notifying you about, after say 3x, that it's forbidden to ever notify you again?
When I was in probably 1st grade, my mom would allow me to check out ten books at a time from the library. I did something good and was asked what reward I wanted, something like ice cream for dessert. I said I wanted to be able to get FOURTEEN books from the library.
Steven Perkins@stevenperkins.bsky.social · last wk.please delight me with your most on-brand story from your childhood mine is that I quit Cubs after two weeks because it clashed with Coronation Street
I am really proud of this thing I am building right now. the question i asked myself: what if we had a single place to go where you could find a mutual aid group or vetted local organization doing real work on the ground in a crisis? www.wecanbeavillage.org/help-now
I need to start planning the celebration I am going to have if this happens.
AZ Intel@azintel.bsky.social · 2d agoU.S. Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) says he plans to introduce a motion to impeach Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth when Congress returns next week, claiming that multiple GOP sources said they expect it to pass. - CNN
I just remembered tonight that I performed in our weekly burlesque show on the Wednesday after election night two years ago. And boy what that a complicated vibe. I went to the show tonight and it was definitely more celebratory.
@clairewillett.bsky.social yes, Louisiana & Florida were that close and did you see how close the Tennessee governor race was?? The last TN governor won by more than half a million votes, Marsha only won by like 55k. Like, the loss sucks but the margin is INVIGORATING!
Oh also fire DeJoy and fix the postal service, restore the White House renovation damage, and put Hegseth in Guantanamo.
Puff the Magic Hater@mskellymhayes.bsky.social · 3d agoWhat's your most ridiculous, newly emboldened political demand? (Absurd answers only.)
Okay so there was this bill that would give veterans receiving disability from Military Sexual Trauma back pay to the date of of the trauma, rather than from the date they filed for disability. I am part of a Women Veterans over 50 group and most of us waited at least 20-30 years to file.

Austin, Texas sounds like an Eastern European city that just overthrew a dictator. #midterms2026 #election2026
It wasn't enough to turn us blue but damn that's not an insignificant shift.
Kristen Stewart@kristenmstewart.bsky.social · 3d agoEvery single TN county shifted blue. We’re not Georgia or Texas yet but we can have a growth mindset.
A working class mom with a union card flipped a Clarksville seat by getting Republicans to vote for her over their own party. National Democrats keep asking what the template is. It just won in Tennessee.
Yesterday showed us definitively that Tennessee is winnable!👊👊👊 Thank you to the AMAZING candidates who moved the needle- winning is not always binary- it takes a few cycles. CONGRATULATIONS to @victoria4congress.bsky.social on flipping a seat- AMAZING!!!
So let me get this right. In the TN State House the Dems flipped 9 seats: 13, 18, 34, 49, 59, 60, 67, 75, and 97?!?
Not only did Susan Collins lose, but so did all of you shitty bigoted assholes who said the only person that could beat her was an abuser with a Nazi tattoo. Eat your fucking words assholes.
FLASHBACK: “DesJarlais was going to run unopposed, I said over my dead body — he paid for 3 abortions for his wife and mistresses… you do you, but don’t take our rights away.” Victoria Broderick just appears to have won by 280 votes. Incredible. #TN4 @victoria4congress
DesJarlais is such a piece of shit, this is great
Michael Coley@mcoley.bsky.social · 3d agoTN Secretary of State website has Broderick listed as the winner!!!!!!
Okay some good flips happening in our state tonight at least
The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social · 3d agoSMYRNA… Connie Casha defeats Rep. Mike Sparks for a state house seat, Star of our video where he refuses to admit the civil war was fought over slavery… @TNDemocrats
Really happy about this one. I've lived in Clarksville a few times and my son lives there now.
The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social · 3d agoCLARKSVILLE — the @tndemocrats announce @allie4tn ALLIE PHILLIPS, who had to flee Tennessee for abortion care in New York, is finally in the house 🎉 ( 👋🏽 Rep. Lankford we hardly knew ye)

The very first time my dad took me out driving in the 1976 Maverick, my brother had only left a drop of gas in it. In the middle of a busy Florida intersection, he was hollering at me to push in the clutch, shift, I was wailing that I WAS, and then he looked at the fuel gauge.
Dennie Edwards@dennieedwards.bsky.social · 4d agoQOTD: What car did you learn to drive a manual transmission in? I learned in a friend’s 1987 Chevy Spectrum.
Today is an exciting voting day. I early voted a while ago and as much as I'm delighted for all the races that will go blue and the shitheads that will go down in flames (suck it VIvek).... ...I will be here in TN. At least Andy Ogles lost his primary, there's that.
