Stop putting these people on television! They're not going to give you or your viewers anything useful and they're just going to yell at you and spread disinformation! You're just letting them manufacture clips to drive engagement and fundraising! bsky.app/profile/atru...
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3d agoBASH: How do you prepare for next pandemic? RFK Jr: We did almost everything wrong B: But what about now? K: We need to protect our rights B: ? K: During covid we dismantled our rights B: But I'm asking what *to* do K: You were part of the problem B: You want to sit here and attack me?
Am told at the blue ash Ohio ICE office today that a bunch of springfield Haitians were told to just “check in” at are now having ankle monitors put on them, which, uh….. they’re not supposed to be fucking doing that
RFK Jr.'s claim that only sick kids die of measles ignores immune amnesia. Measles can wipe out existing immunity to other infections, making previously healthy children more vulnerable. In other words, measles creates more "sick kids." Also, sick kids don't deserve to die.
One day several years ago, I got an anonymous handwritten, threatening letter delivered to my campus mailbox, and then someone (the same person? someone else?) DM'd me on twitter from a burner account, with a photo of my driveway with my car parked in it. This is real and it's dangerous
Tressie McMillan Cottom@tressiemcphd.bsky.social · 5d agoThere are a lot of important things going on. Maybe this isn’t a top twenty concern. But, this is actually workplace harassment, the kind that can get people killed.

drunk girl trying to tell her friends that she thinks they are “weekend at Bernie’s” with McConnell, but she has got completely the wrong movie and keeps calling it “doing a Fish Called Wanda” with him and I’m dying
Wow, Lindsey Graham really had no one in his life who cared about him. Not even his own sister. Because a real woman would never let someone make a mockery of her brother's life like this.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last wk.Hannity: "My President, Lindsey probably has a heavenly version of Mar-a-Lago. It may even be a little bigger. I wouldn't be surprised if he added one big beautiful ballroom and an arch somewhere on the property. Because he would want to obviously duplicate his dearest friend in life. You."
People should be normal in response to criticism of things they like. However, that essay reads like when Reviewer 2 decides you stepped on their toes and they misinterpret and find fault with every single thing in front of them.
extremely funny ("funny") that the president of the united states posted a thing like this that implies a new military operation is underway, but it very much is not. grandpa actually just made a picture on his phone and wanted everyone to see

Seems to me that Charles Entertainment Cheese controls an animatronic army, so he's in. The Green Giant and the Big Boy as muscle. And Chester Cheetah because he's a diabolical manipulator.

Ok, so this person's experience was worse than mine, but his story was incredibly familiar. In March, I was flying from Orlando to Louisville on American. I had a layover in Philadelphia. My plane out of Louisville was mildly delayed, but I had a significant layover so I made my connection...
Josh Sternberg@joshsternberg.com · 3w agoHere’s a person on TikTok that has almost 4 million followers telling his story about his travels on an American Airlines flight from DAL to NYC that had to land in PHI bc they ran out of fuel. Vid has 6 mill views. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8tdjfrN/
watching OPPENHEIMER as Christopher Nolan intended, projected onto a wall in a DOOM WAD running on a hacked ATM:
Four years ago, Biden gave a speech warning about the dangers to democracy and the networks refused to air it because it was "political." I wonder if Trump making a partisan case for relitigating the 2020 election and calling for his political opponents to be jailed is going to be "political" too?
Matt Negrin still host of Hardball on MSNBC@mattnegrin.bsky.social · 3w agoAs has been the case for six years any news outlet taking trump live thursday night after he said he’ll lie about the 2020 election and the legitimacy of georgia’s senators is explicitly endorsing that lie as a legitimate opinion

Not his most iconic performance, but it hurts every time that Captain Borodin never made it to Montana. RIP
The Spaceshipper 🚀@thespaceshipper.com · 3w agoThere is news I do not like to share. RIP Sam Neill. The New Zealand actor has had a prodigious career, notably in sci-fi. How could one forget his role in Event Horizon (1997)? But also Bicentennial Man (1999), Thor: Ragnarok, the Jurassic Park series, or his appearance in Invasion (AppleTV).
I remember being a teen in the back of a van during a vacation in Florida. My brother in law took a wrong turn and it took me 45 mins to convince them we were headed for the gulf coast instead of Orlando. The adults were annoyed that I (rightly) insisted I could read the map better than they could.
Michael D. Green, PhD@michaeldgreen.phd · 4w agoCan’t lie, the fact that y’all were driving with PAPER maps is insane. Even worse, you had to ask random strangers for directions??
It’s also, to state the obvious, just fully not contemplated in immigration law.
Patrick Chovanec@prchovanec.bsky.social · 4w agoThe notion we get to imprison people indefinitely without trial in a foreign prison, at our behest, is something the signers of the Declaration would revolt against.
The best edit I’ve seen in weeks, you absolutely have to turn the sound on for this one.
Excuse me. Time to take some selfies wearing aviators and a ball cap in the front seat of my giant truck with the two square foot flatbed and caption it “Lions do not concern themselves with the opinions of sheep.”
