If you’re posting for AIPAC against current candidates, we will strip the skin off of you like bark off of a tree. Seriously, do not pretend surprise when the thresher turns your way.

American balkanization is going to be messy but necessary, and in the end, a good thing for the planet and its inhabitants. In the meantime, I’m considering changing my display name to “Grover Cleveland Steamer”. Or perhaps “Francisco Bizarro”.
It’s a little known fact that the Procurator of Judæa under Tiberius Cæsar was also a popular exercise coach. Pontius Pilates.
My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.
Looking forward to an era of bespoke code, where hipsters lovingly hand-craft subroutines. They’ll talk about modules and packages like sommeliers talk about fine wines … “You’ll find this C++ library offers notes of inheritance balanced against a robust backdrop of templatized type independence”
Nyek London@stupidhoroscope.bsky.social · 7d agoI don’t know how people could say that programming and art are completely different disciplines when both workflows involve going ‘This will never work, I’m a failure’, changing one thing, then thinking you might be the smartest person alive
“The repression is brutal”: emmanuel macron on the riots in Iran...Meanwhile, in France:
I’m sorry, but using PowerPoint has given me agenda dysphoria.
I bet if King Arthur and his knights of the round table were alive today they’d be pretty fucking good at pickleball.
I’m sure it’s just a coincidence, but both Elizabeth Holmes and the National Review built their careers on sucking up to old, wealthy white men.
Tim Marchman@timmarchman.bsky.social · last wk.Nothing could have prepared me for the opening line of Armond White’s review of “You Can See Everything.”
You can’t respond to a radical & immediate repurposing of government as a weapon of mass destruction aimed at, among other things, stripping birthright or previously granted protections from its own citizens, by proposing incrementalism man.
"I was told," said the princess, "that the point of fairy tales is not to tell children dragons exist, but that they can be killed." "Oh, absolutely!" said the dragon. "You agree?" "These rich, selfish, powerful, cruel beings that need killing, did you think they're literally dragons, princess?"
GAINESVILLE! They keep telling us Florida is a red state. But y’all packed that auditorium so full that Senator @sanders.senate.gov and I had to take the rally OUTSIDE to speak to the more than 3000 who came out! Florida, we’re going to WIN this thing! #AngieforFlorida #Gainesville
Every time I mention how much I hate James Carville, even in the context of a joke, someone on here will try to tell me that he's a great fighter for Democracy and he's doing his best to make things better and I need to give him respect. Get it through your head, James Carville is a malignancy.

I’m not on the same side as anyone that throws trans people under the bus. Literally the least you can do is just shut the fuck up.
You wanna see some modern-day Lost Cause bullshit you gotta go to little Saigon.
It’s incredible how we’re grown-ass adults, olds even, and yet when we go to visit mom it’s like we’re 5 years old again. Sneaking ramen and snacks and goodies upstairs to eat in bed. Crumbs! In bed! Like Gandalf on the bridge at khazad-dûm.
#EpsteinAshley: Donors linked to Jeffrey Epstein are pouring money into Senator Ashley Moody's campaign.
this is so obviously correct it is deeply bizarre and corrosive how many people who should know better are unwilling to simply say it
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3w agoOssoff: "In my view, based upon the evidence I've seen thus far, the president's misconduct, abuse of power, and corruption, already exceed any prior standard for impeachment."
There are a whole lot of people whose citizenship is not backed up by immaculate documentation or who bent a regulation in navigating the immigration system. I might be one of them. Let’s not start down this road. It doesn’t lead anywhere good.
There is absolutely no viable path forward for this country that doesn’t hinge on extreme accountability for everyone involved in this administration. They’re going to whine about politicization and credulous media types will echo them, but the thing is, they’ve committed tons of obvious crimes!
Adam Serwer@adamserwer.bsky.social · 3w agoI do not think an exec branch led by a man who thinks he is entitled to treat federal agents as an arm of his firm, refers to Somali Americans as “garbage” and has said racist things specifically about Omar is capable of neutrally applying the law to her, to put it mildly apnews.com/article/ilha...
I no longer say “see you in the camps”. That’s out of fashion. I now say “See you on the eastern airlines deportation flight to Rwanda”. Much more relevant! Unfortunately, I will not be available to say “see you in the shallow mass-graves”.
Florida is home to the largest Haitian community in the nation. I’m demanding that Rick Scott and Absent Ashley Moody use the influence they claim to have in Washington to push the Senate to pass S. 4814, which would reinstate TPS for Haitians until 2029. #AngieForFlorida
