every single actor joining the new harry potter series saying "I don't agree with JK Rowling's opinions!"
once again this is useful for demonstrating that the media that spent 25 years using "gotta support the troops we love the troops do you support our brave troops" as a cudgel against anyone opposed to war were full of shit this entire time. they never even cared a little tiny bit about the troops

Just had my third eye open on something: If every right-wing accusation is a confession (and it is), the ongoing "Jews control the media" conspiracy bullshit is a smokescreen for the actual Nazis running mass media in America. Of course, now we know they're likely also pedophiles.

the bluesky wokescolds are at it again. you won't believe what they're furious about this time, it's just my new essay "i enjoyed my time working with fascists and appreciate all they've done to grease the wheels of my career"
Sorry, we've got to cut food stamps AGAIN. Just tell your hungry children it's for the eternal glory of Caligula, and how his ego cannot handle the idea of people not liking him. Again.
CREW@citizensforethics.org · 3d agoTrump’s decided to keep the National Guard deployed in DC until January 2029. Guess how much it’ll cost? $200 million? $500 million? Not even close, it’ll cost roughly $1.4 BILLION. And that’s all taxpayer money being spent.
ONE MORE TIME, LOUDER, FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE CHEAP SEATS WHO ANGRILY CLAIM THIS IS A BUBBLE / ECHO CHAMBER
Ash McGonigal@ashmcgonigal.com · 3d agoBluesky is the only social media platform where signal is greater than noise, and that's why people who just make noise hate it.
A friend of mine referred to Trump's catering cart as the "TACO truck" and that cracked me up.

It is really instructive seeing the free ride the press gave that guy in Maine vs their chin stroking over the guy in Michigan, "Yes, he wants universal healthcare, but some have concerns he wants to sell their white daughters into a harem..."

If you shame someone for having a medical condition, you're a terrible person. Addiction is a medical condition. If you're shaming someone for addiction, you - not they - are the terrible person.
Had a delightful B Movie Triple Feature Fiasco on Saturday, was useless for anything yesterday, and I'm back at work now. Still, the important thing is: The Tingler Five Element Ninjas The Giant Claw And then a late lunch and some ice cream.
“Orange man bad” is the most consistently correct take in U.S. politics for the past decade. The people who disagreed that Trump is a fascist profoundly misunderstood politics and should have much, much more humility going forward.
Peter@notalawyer.bsky.social · last wk.This line from Ross Douthat’s final NYT column is something you see all the time from the soft-MAGA right. Sure, Trump’s *most* alarmist critics weren’t correct, but that’s basically true of every president. Trump’s *median* critic did in fact predict his presidency pretty accurately.

Point of order, Counselor: The dems have done nothing but give up, fail, capitulate and punch left for the last two motherfucking years.
This is not to downplay the real material harm that making the WNBA the battleground for trans panic is doing to trans women but rather to highlight that doing so was intentional. To be able to serve the dual function of harming queer Black women & trans women simultaneously was irresistible to them
You absolutely do not have to hand it to the eugenicist rubes cheering on a brain-damaged smackhead who eats roadkill.
PMC Vanguardist@tylerboschert.bsky.social · 2w agoYou actually don't have to do the "well, you know, I disagree with MAHA but they're right that there are real problems with The System" thing. That's a concession you absolutely do not have to make.
‘Today is August 4, 2026,’ said a second voice from the kitchen ceiling, ‘in the city of Allendale, California.’
Once again for those at the back: ‘Don’t speak ill of the dead’ is about your great aunt Elsie, who liked a long gin with a short tonic at elevenses, and blew your inheritance money betting on the horses. Speaking ill of absolute monsters is a moral obligation, actually.
