what are we doing here. the media has framed Francesca Hong, who has mostly run on data centers, entirely through 2020 tweets. The voters didn’t do that nor did the ’swing voters‘ who allegedly only care about tweets. This is all a media fever dream.

The Democratic electorate is already moving left, but that may be nothing compared with what happens when unemployment really starts to rise.

Kang@kang.bsky.social · 7d agoidk I tried to use this site for a while bc some friends enjoy it and found that whenever someone would screenshot a headline and lie about what the article said, there would be this wild piling on that felt like the worst parts of old twitter.
the only other thing I'll say because I do think it's important. I didn't limit replies on that post. I would never! I even tried to figure out how to undo the OP's limiting of replies but alas I am not allowed to.
the rage here on whitesky over a sunscreen joke is hilarious. people talking about my kids and wife and shit lmao. keep going please.
Hyde T. Voltyge@hydevoltyge.bsky.social · 7d agoCool guys get skin cancer, is it? I don't like dunking my brain in whatever toxic soup over there makes you ponder the virtues of getting cancer to be masculine and own the libs
Gotta say that I find the amount of lying on this site about what I write to be very weird. Ppl just screenshotting headlines and then making up what’s written and then idk.. making fun of my last name? Whatever floats your boats but idk read the article maybe.
this was published way way way back on May 26 and includes several humanities professors at all types of colleges. Why is this site like this where everyone's an academic but nobody bothers to read a thing. www.newyorker.com/news/fault-l...

Asheesh Kapur Siddique@asheeshks.org · 2mo agoJay, I dare you to talk to an actual adjunct in a humanities department before you or The New Yorker publishes another bs article on higher ed. Or maybe read literally any book in critical university studies.

NEW @ttsgpod.bsky.social episode with Will Stancil. He talked to us about driving around the Twin Cities in his Honda Fit, what an occupation feels like, and most importantly, why he's more positive now than ever that Trump, Miller, and ICE will lose.
Wrote about Renee Good, George Floyd and what’s happened to protest in the five years that have passed. www.newyorker.com/news/fault-l...
What Comes After the Protests
The killing of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent in Minneapolis will continue to bring people to the streets. Can it bring change?

every person in the administration -- Miller and Rubio especially -- just speedrunning their agenda while the President picks out ballroom chandeliers.
Zohran seems to really know what to compromise on in reality and what to not compromise on in terms of messaging. The ‘he won’t be able to handle a crisis’ problem a lot smaller than it seemed a few months ago
Nobody should be able to express their opinion in any way that annoys me or else the masses, who are also really into the weird and totally silly things I am, will revolt and then you’ll _really_ be in trouble.
I don’t even understand what the argument is from these folks. Artists are responsible for what? Upholding some vague social contract and norms to ensure that the patrons of the Kennedy Center don’t backlash and become MAGA? When did these norms ever exist lol you just made them up
Andrew Exum@exum.bsky.social · 8mo agoThis is not hard. Artists are not responsible for ensuring the Kennedy Center remains relevant and successful. The center’s board is responsible for that, in a fiduciary way. All of this energy being directed at artists should be re-directed at the board.
Went ice skating w the child and I had this realization that if I fall it’s going to be a multi day ordeal. I don’t really understand how I ever fell and just got up but at some point it was possible.

The ‘will he actually do it’ question is pretty convoluted at this point. Yes he did the tarriffs but not really. The problem is that even if he’s just planning on doing some silly show every time before exiting, he’s dealing with stuff that doesn’t end when he tries to cut to commercial break.
Didn’t think United was terrible today except in the final third. For the first 20 minutes Amorimball made some sense but once Palace adjusted, game was over. I still dont think you can play this super attacking wingback system without getting countered and exhausting your guys.
Ok I’m over here now. Where is the part of this site that does angry Manchester United takes
