If you can’t tell whether or not I’m joking, I probably am. I guess it's pretty nuanced.
Also they’ve killed funding into cancer cure research. It’s almost like Trump just loves cancer.
Mark Jacob@markjacob.bsky.social · yesterdayThe Republican Party is giving us cancer. The New York Times doesn't say it that directly, but its investigation proves it.
Maybe when Biggie said "mo money mo problems" he was referring to our country's dire need for campaign finance reform.

When you announce the First Lady we rarely see is performing sensitive peace negotiations with Russia because of her direct connections to Putin, it’s, flailing Administration throwing spaghetti at the wall, time.
Everything is awful but also we need to figure out how it is that Sting isn’t aging.
The same people who insist on policing public bathrooms in order to protect girls from sexual predators are now calling a child rape victim, whose mother lost custody due to that abuse, a liar. loathsome
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3d agoTrump: "Ramaswamy put up a very powerful Ad about a mother saying that her daughter, Acton, is a liar, and much worse. The Press is trying to get him to 'take down the Ad.' Frankly, anybody whose mother spoke about daughter that way would normally lead to the daughter being precluded from serving"
"I wish her well" - Trump, when asked about Ghislane Maxwell

Remember when Pete Hegseth's mom wrote him a letter telling him he was a misogynistic POS?

Whenever a politician describes themself using the term "common sense", that's a heuristic that tells me they're an idiot. Or an asshole. Probably both.
This could not be more of a metaphor. There is none more metaphory.
Phil Lewis@phillewis.bsky.social · 3d agoPete Hegseth wanted Eisenhower’s globe for his office. His staff broke.
Can't wait to learn about how each of the "swing voters" have actually worked on all three Trump campaigns.
Okay, switching over from streaming the Smashing Pumpkins (last night's show) to Sting (tomorrow night's show).
What's better? A Boston creme donut or a Boston crime book?
I bet Mary Shelley would have really liked Radiohead.
We have a replacement for the “this is fine” gif. I love France.

Each future white house press secretary's tenure will grow shorter by half and will approach, but never reach, zero.
So is Scott Jennings out buying a blonde wig now or what?
Just cast my vote at the county fairgrounds. And don't tell me they don't already know who's gonna win, because the psychic convention is next door to the voting booths this weekend!
can't take "LLMs are people" discourse seriously when we haven't even convinced everyone that all people are people.
@markjacob.bsky.social does a great job of not totally freaking out during this interview, and I'm thankful for him saying what needed to be said to a NYTimes editor.
Mark Jacob@markjacob.bsky.social · last wk.🧵🧵🧵 The NY Times posted a 15-minute video today in which I got to tell NYT what’s wrong with its coverage. They said they saw my critical posts on Bluesky and invited me to do a video with them to air my grievances. Weird, right? I didn’t hold back. I blasted their sanewashing of MAGA extremism.
Thinking about moving to China for a week or so to become an attorney.
(1/X) Yesterday, Trump posted a snuff video of a man being killed by a tiger and cut off Ukraine's access to Starlink. If a Democratic president had at any point done either of those things, there would have been big political blowback. For Trump, there will be none, zero, nada....
We put a lot of effort into this Indiana voter guide and are really proud of it

It's too bad that the one guy that can influence inflation isn't personally impacted by inflation.
Pete Buttigieg@petebuttigieg.bsky.social · 2w agoInflation is up again. Not because of a pandemic. Not because of a natural disaster. Because of Trump’s war, tariffs, and corporate tax breaks. It really is this simple: Republicans took over, and then drove up the cost of living in America.
