No! NO! You can’t just ignore—this isn’t—THE OCEAN HATES US ALL MOTHERFUCKERS GAAAAAHHHH

Michael Love@elkmovie.bsky.social · 4d ago

I’m on a small-ship Alaska cruise with my son; our boat rescued a stranded vessel last night and apparently we did that after the Coast Guard radioed Mark Zuckerberg’s yacht - which was closer - and they repeatedly refused to respond. (There was near unanimous booing when the captain announced this)

I’m pretty sure people still use fucking microscopes without their smartphones. Might be wrong about that.

Stephanie Porras@periodeye.bsky.social · 2d ago

This is a triggering image of a museum display in the natural history museum in DC about life before smartphones. Me and a fellow 40+ person were laughing at how we are now LITERAL MUSEUM PIECES. MY teen was like did you have a clear phone? An address book? A book of maps. Yes, yes I did. 🫠🫠🫠

Sorry Mikey, you actually have to show up to work in the Senate. You can’t just phone it in. The most pointless of blustering.

By UNANIMOUS consent, the Senate adjourned for recess until Monday, September 14 without passing the SAVE America Act. Nobody objected to the request, or asked for a roll call vote.

This is kind of an incredible website: Why your stuff stopped lasting, who profited, and what's still built right.

These adversarial clothing projects are cool but they do not work. At all. Not even a little bit. Please wear a baseball cap with a brim and sunglasses. And keep your face tilted down at the ground in front of you.

He’s a Spartan? So, he’s someone who’s so bad at fighting that he has to dedicate his whole life to it just so he can be in par with a bunch of farmers from other cities? A group so pathetic that just training a group of 300 guys was enough to absolutely destroy their military? Those Spartans?

I’ve heard worse ideas. Although I think he’d have a better shot at Fetterman’s senate seat.

Awful news to wake up and read. RIP Mr Neill.

John Scalzi@scalzi.com · 4w ago

Aw, nuts. What a lovely presence he was on-screen. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

If he doesn’t officially drop out I think we can just assume he was a conservative plant in order to secure Collins’ seat.

PLATNER SAYS HE’S DROPPING OUT of the Maine Senate race: “We believe that for the movement to continue, it can’t be me. And for that reason, we are suspending campaign operations,” he says in a video message tonight.

So people finally showed up. But even then it looks like a scant amount compared to the size of the National Mall. But this’ll be the only picture the administration uses.

Phil Lewis@phillewis.bsky.social · last mo.

It’s 100 degrees outside in DC. People have been waiting in line for about 45 minutes to get into the “Great American State Fair”

They all look so pathetic. Cowards hiding their faces and tattoos. People who believe in their cause so weakly that they’ll do anything they can to not be associated with those beliefs.

The white supremacist group, Patriot Front, was seen marching through Capitol Hill this morning.

“We’re here to disrupt government entities by creating an authoritarian surveillance state where the government has complete knowledge and thus control of your actions” Goddam disruptionbros are so fucking annoying. Also, everyone at Palantir belongs in jails. Everyone.

Palantir CEO Alex Karp couldn’t stay seated in his chair as he proudly stated: 'We kill people sometimes', while speaking to shareholders. (Feb 2026)

It’s kinda weird that the @nytimes.com made a Strands/Spangram about Pride Month and managed to not mention any LGBTQIA+ groups at all. But they included “Ally”.

You’ve piloted your last stone temple

NC State House reps Carla Cunningham and Shelly Willingham just hurt a lot of people in NC because they’re bitter and whiny that they lost their primaries. I hope they never have a peaceful day.

Are they trying to keep Dem governors from activating their Guards by keeping them active on stupid shit?

Quinta Jurecic@qjurecic.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Latest in "DC's adventures with the National Guard": the Guard deployments appear to have expanded to include troops from Michigan, Minnesota, and North Carolina. As far as I know these are the only NG troops from states with Dem governors to be sent here

Kurt Vonnegut: In my book I drew an asshole as a cautionary tale Anthropic: At long last, we have created the Vonnegut Asshole

Micah Lee@micahflee.com · 2mo ago

I know this has been pointed out many times by many people but I just want to reiterate: Anthropic is basically using Kurt Vonnegut's drawing of an asshole as the Claude logo

Dude already lost and thinks people will believe this nonsense? Well, of course FoxNews will repeat it like it’s somehow feasible.

"President Trump told Fox News the US may take over the strait in the future if they have to & collect tolls. The president described this as the US being the guardian angel of the Strait of Hormuz & Middle East. He said that would involve the US taking 20% of the oil that passes through the strait"

Good. I’d go so far as to ban it from the first 8-9 years of education and not let the kids use it until they demonstrate understanding of its flaws.

The day a twerp like Matt Taibbi gets to define what manhood is the day that manhood has no meaning left. Elliot Page is more of a man than Matt Taibbi could ever dream of being.

well def one of those posts that's inadvertantly revealing about the person posting it!

I don't care how fully entrenched the brain worm is, I bet if RFK Jr. thinks *real* hard he can still think of examples of gun violence that date to his childhood.

FactPost@factpostnews.bsky.social · 2mo ago

RFK Jr: We had lots of guns when we were kids. Kids brought guns to school and were encouraged to do so. And nobody was walking into schools and shooting people. There are many things that could explain this. One is the dependence on psychiatric drugs.

Soon all media will be through either Disney or TimeWarDiscFoxMount (because you know it’s coming).

Fox Corp. has reached a deal to acquire the streaming platform Roku in an agreement worth approximately $22 billion

What kind of degraded people would exploit their positions at the White House to insult a staff member at The Weather Channel for reporting on weather conditions—and do it with vulgarity and hostility? Clearly, that’s why the Trump regime employs them.

Steve Herman@newsguy.bsky.social · 2mo ago

The White House (via an official social media account) tears into The Weather Channel, a subsidiary of Allen Media Group (holder of 18 FCC-issued broadcast TV station licenses).

Corn is great but his children are f’ing assholes.

John Moe@johnmoe.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Daughter hit a nasty pothole and popped a tire. A USPS truck pulled up, driver cheerfully helped her change in the spare. She asked his name. “Call me Corn,” he said. “Like corn on the cob.” And drove off. There are good people out there and some of them are named Corn. 🌽.

We had a good deal with Iran a decade ago. Orange Bumblefuck blew that up.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2mo ago

Sen. Jack Reed: "Reuters is reporting that part of the deal is $24 billion in sanctions relief for the Iranians. So this is not a 'we win and you do what we say.' This is, 'how can we open up the straits? What will it cost us?'"

The NC one was not supposed to happen. Governor and AG both said no. WHO BENT THE KNEE? We need to shame tf out of them.
