They like Republicans and want them to win
Ben McAdams (The Resurrection Arc)@purrtah.bsky.social · 2d agoReally is crazy how tilted their coverage can be
if you want something relaxing and educational to watch, I cannot recommend Larry Haun's "how to frame a house" videos enough. They're on youtube. One of those old school guys that can drive a 16d nail with two hits. Pleasure to watch him at work
There was a moment in the 1990s when Newt Gingrich was sneering about public funding for the arts and said something like "Arthur Miller didn't need government money!" and then Arthur Miller wrote an op-ed noting that he had, in fact, been saved in the Depression by Federal Writers Project.
A. Brad Schwartz@abradschwartz.bsky.social · 2d agoSince it’s almost the anniversary of “War of the Worlds,” I’ll add that we have the WPA Federal Theatre Project to thank for Orson Welles and many, many others…
If you want more Patrick Stewarts, then you publicly fund the arts and learning programs, so that working class kids can find their way into making a career in them.
El-Sayed: What is his name? JV Dance. They keep sending JV here. JV has zero charisma. They taught him that at Ohio state. When your school mascot is like a nut, what do you expect?

NEW — I spoke to Tom, the guy at the South Carolina Trump rally who compared the president's supporters to the Jonestown Massacre. We talked about his loathing for Trump, his love of death metal, and where he learned his impeccable comedic timing. Read our full chat here:
I talked to Tom, the viral ‘Jonestown’ Trump rally guy
He planned to make good trouble. But he didn't expect to be handed a Fox News mic.

That's cool guys. It was about a month ago when Tucker said that fighting Hitler was a mistake.
Post-Left Watch@postleftwatch.bsky.social · 2d agoNorman Finkelstein, Cornel West, and Richard Wolff discuss how Tucker Carlson has changed recently, with West saying that we should give Tucker a chance to prove he's really changed for the better, and Wolff saying that Tucker becoming more religious could make him pro-immigration.
So just to recap: the president is having large aircraft fly into densely-populated urban areas for his amusement, and he is also being followed around by a SAM launcher.

Just got a message from a witness in DC that a large plane flew extremely close to the ground a few minutes ago and scared the shit out of people. “Flashbacks to 9/11,” they said. AFP White House reporter Danny Kemp confirms it was a stunt for the WH halloween party and posted this video on X:
Trump: Hey Jersey ports. Here's your Russian diesel New Jersey: TRY RUSHING DEEZ OL NUTS 'CROSS YOUR CHIN
there was a new rape allegation against the president of the United States *this week*
jamelle@jamellebouie.net · 2d agoit actually is making me a little crazy to see people treat “got a guy with the same name to get on the ballot” as the height of scandal. people have used more cutthroat tactics to win student council seats!
CNN is reporting Donald Trump has canceled a second event this weekend.
They just do not care. Residents of DC are not citizens, they are subjects. Scared, not scared, it is of no consequence – the city and country exists for the amusement of its king. Oh, the royal festivities are disturbing the commoners? Have you tried remembering that you’re a peasant?

Hey, I never told this story on BlueSky! I got a photo op with Patrick Stewart at ECCC & just stood next to him 'cause I heard he didn't like to be touched, but then he put his arm around me saying, "Oh, we can get closer than that, darling". That's when they took the photo so I look a little nuts
Everyone else will be talking about different movies and shows, so I will just say Patrick Stewart was a marvelous villain in GREEN ROOM. See it if you haven't. A very stressful picture. RIP
Fox: Why are you here this morning? Trump rally attendee: Well, in the late 70s, I was a little too young to go to South America for the Jonestown Massacre. But this is as close as I'll ever get, so that's why I'm here. There's nothing like seeing a cult right up front.
The NYT reporter who did the Alaska hit piece did a long sympathetic story on rural white Republicans facing California Dems’ new House map. It barely mentions the many more new GOP gerrymanders—mostly targeting Black & Latino Dems—at the end. Many other examples, like this sexist portrayal of AOC
mtsw@mtsw.bsky.social · 2d agoContrast this - acknowledged to be illegal by everyone - to the "uncovering a scandal" tone the times gave the revelation that the Peltola campaign helped recruit Dan Sullivan II which they acknowledge to not be illegal
After observers lawfully filmed ICE in a public parking lot, the agents followed their car, boxed them in, and slashed their tire in retaliation. The observers bravely caught the whole thing on video.
tmw your adherence to an archaic style is so complete and your refusal to understand other cultural norms exist is so steadfast you make a parody of yourself by writing things like "Mr Lula" in the paper
Christoph Harig@charig.bsky.social · 5d agoLula now also to blame for Bolsonaro's corruption @nytpitchbot.bsky.social couldn't make this one up www.nytimes.com/2026/10/25/w...
Every day there’s a story like “Russian spies infiltrated US nuclear subs while Hegseth wedgied a 13-year-old & Trump worried about golf greens at the White House” followed by “Are Dems Out of Touch bc Obama made a Cheesecake Factory Joke” and that’s why we are all so mad.
Michael Evans@colombiadocs.bsky.social · 2d ago"Roughly a year ago, Mr. Trump was briefed about the intelligence findings, which have not been previously reported, and chose not to do anything with the information." www.nytimes.com/2026/10/29/u...
