Every algorithm is so comically evil, TikTok just gave me some Enoch Powell content

On another note, why do we have private presidential libraries? Each should be a publicly-controlled branch of the Library of Congress or Smithsonian or something.

The Vice President is supposed to be negotiating an end to the president's stupid war (a ticking time bomb imminently threatening to blow up the global economy) but he's busy making fat jokes about a TPUSA dude on the Everything App

huck mason@tylerhuckabee.bsky.social · 11h ago

for reasons that only make sense if you're insane, a TPUSA kid complaining about burrito costs on xitter has the GOP's biggest divas going for each other's throats.

I feel like somebody on here was JUST making a joke about how this might be one of the galaxy-brained takes to come out of this

Something I'm really excited for is Vance getting sucked down into oblivion, as if by a sinking ship, when Trump annihilates the extant Republican Party over the course of this administration.

JD Vance: "We don't want the next administration, whoever -- god forbid you're gonna have President El-Sayed in three years ... "

It's striking, in a good way, how he sounds willfully delusional saying this, when it's been the Democratic consensus until the last three years.

Fetterman says America has a responsibility to Israel because Israel has "progressive values"

I'm calling it: "Start smoking" is going to be mainstream MAHA / Republican health advice by 2028. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The media's takeaway from an El-Sayed win is the same as it would have been from a Stevens win, and the same as it will be if El-Sayed wins the general, or if he loses it: everyone, no matter who they are, needs to take several steps to the right.

Stevens winning, if she does, means Michigan is going to have the most irritating pair of Democratic senators in America

Ugh the original tweet was a "folx" one too

Francesca Hong was asked last night by Kaitlin Collins if she still believes Thanksgiving should be canceled. Her answer was not 'no.'

Pastor Adam Hamilton has won the Kansas Democratic primary for U.S. Senate. He will face Republican incumbent Roger Marshall in the November general election.

honestly, the fact that we have made it through the atomic age *without* another use of nuclear weapons since 1945 is a miracle we don't fully appreciate

suspiciously green bananas is sadly one of the funniest things i’ve read in awhile

I'm beginning my eighth year in this appointment, and I'm coming to terms with understanding my pastorate here as having been a lot of foundation-laying for a potential future: nuts and bolts, fiscal, structural stuff. This was never really my desire. But we live in the moment we're given.

Yeah but we're getting Trump-class battleships

Secretary of Defense Rock@sodrock.bsky.social · 2d ago

Funny that one of the big talking points from the administration was they had “rebuilt the military” then turned around and used up all the PRsM’s, ATACMS, and half the tomahawks on a idiotic war of choice in the Middle East

I don't think it's really worth analyzing, since the last deal to reopen the Strait lasted, what, a little over 24 hours?

Shipwreck@shipwreck75.bsky.social · yesterday

All the indicators I’m seeing suggest this is the Iran‑controlled route, with a service fee attached. Trump took the loss and is now going to try to lie and spin it as a positive outcome.

This is still one of my favourite photos, mainly because he told the government "you'll have to arrest me" and FDR went "fine" and literally told the press where and when he was going to arrest him

Reconstructionist@unavaleable.bsky.social · 4mo ago

FDR literally had the president of Montgomery Ward arrested and the company seized for not negotiating with his workers

A funny thing I'm seeing on Facebook is MAGAs furious that the media is giving away this secret information to our enemies

The health woo is portable. Even if we woke up with a socialized single-payer healthcare system tomorrow, we’ll simply find a new way to explain away why Hospitals And Doctors Bad

the really wonderful thing about the argument of "you were never killed by something if you had a pre-existing condition or there was some other factor involved" is that it would make all deaths mechanistically impossible

Don Moynihan@donmoyn.bsky.social · 2d ago

Wonder will Alex Berenson now change his health reporting? Or will start pushing a "died with" rather than "died from" framing?

average bsky user seeing that degrees in reLIEgion are about to be outlawed

The New Republic@newrepublic.com · 3d ago

President Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/aaAEu6v

Oh good at least they weren't real deaths

“tax immunity” isn’t a thing, blanche and the DOJ and IRS can refuse to investigate or prosecute it but future administrations will not be bound by this

Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · 2d ago

FLAG: Trump gets to keep tax immunity for himself, his sons, and the Trump Organization under the new 'deal' struck by Todd Blanche. The new order also reaffirms that Trump won't have to pay any taxes he might have owed the IRS.

I saw a post in the Progressive Methodists FB group that literally referred to the feeding of 5,000 as "the miracle where Jesus inspired everyone to share"

Bridget O’Brien@bridgetemob.bsky.social · 2d ago

Checking my work email on Monday means clicking through a half-dozen reflections on yesterday's Mass readings from various Catholic email subscriptions and I just do not understand the iron-tight hold "the REAL miracle was everyone sharing the food they'd brought" has on people.

My understanding is that it was Anthony Fauci???
