i come to bluesky because, somewhere, i caught the opinion that reading and agreeing with carefully expressed political hot takes, is the same thing as having and being able to explain my good political opinions. uhhh.

The popularist movement started as an expression of the longstanding belief among elites that a multiracial democracy built on equal justice is offensive and a political liability; the structural claims were bolted onto a normative belief in American racism

david shor started the popularist movement because circa ~2020 he had a model that showed that showed democrats were essentially guaranteed to permanently lose the senate majority, literally projecting that republicans would get a 60 seat supermajority this year

To be absolutely clear: This was another Y2K situation. Lots and lots of people worked diligently for months and years, at great cost, taking hours away from their friends & family, to make our elections a bit more free and fair. Voting was still threatened! It still took record-breaking turnout!

This is so wrong The reason “Trump didn’t steal the elections” is because we & the pro-voter coalition stopped him EIGHT times over the past 21 months Here’s how: a thread (1/x)

"A growing body of evidence from both orbital and surface missions suggests that Martian dust is chemically reactive, potentially toxic, and likely to induce inflammatory responses in biological systems" www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

If you should go to Mars, don't inhale. As well as not tasting the dust. "Fine and ultrafine Martian dust presents additional risks for future crewed missions to Mars" www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

If I were a DOGE guy, ICE agent, or any other administration goon who's been involved in some shady work over the past two years I'd be seriously thinking about stepping forward to inform on my colleagues before they inevitably do the same to me

The Telegraph obituary of Patrick Stewart is, as usual, extremely good, not least this detail about how his brief, pre-acting career as a journalist on the Dewsbury Reporter came to a sudden end.

He soon lost this job, however, when it was discovered that he had been going to a local drama group rather than to the council meetings whose doings he had, in fact, been inventing in his reports. He was caught out when his account of such a meeting failed to mention the large fire that had broken out in the neighbouring building at the time.

Remember, dear ones, the reason it feels like so many more good people die than bad, is because there are so very, very many more good people than bad people I'm sorry we can't keep them forever

ME: What’s the first rule of bite club? DRACULA: Is it biting? ME: That’s right, Dracula, it’s biting. RATTLESNAKE: [quietly to himself] I was gonna say biting.

we should send angine de poitrine to eurovision. we’re not going to win with normal pop. australia is going to sink us unless we send someone wild.

bethany: “i can’t believe how eby just made everything materially worse for people.” ben: **points to hindu epic poems about how you can’t get the good ending unless you were good the whole time** (in reference to how bethany hated eby because he cheated in the leadership race hillary style)

David eby shifts bc into the bad timeline. Good job, chodes. You cheated to win the leadership and then fumbled power so hard, and wasted a once in a generation opportunity. Id throw a rock at your car if I could.

voted in the bc election. likely result will be the literally maga conservatives taking power, after an election campaign based around saying absolutely nothing. fucking david eby. i have a lot of mean things to say to that man. big “drop the turkey dinner on the floor energy” from our lad.
