Texas. Former moderate infected by the woke mind virus. Chugging ivermectin to no avail. If I can switch to Linux so can you. They break upon us
Not that this is the biggest thing going on right now, but systematic testosterone abuse by Republicans in government and soon in the military is such a huge security risk.
When we look back on the era of how boilerplate GOP politics surrendered to MAGA, I think Cornyn, more than any of the other players, will be the ultimate profile in cowardice and surrender
Rolling Stone@rollingstone.com · yesterdayRepublicans have fully abdicated their congressional duty in service of the president's ego. Story: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
Ron Johnson may just be the dumbest person in Congress
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayRon Johnson: "All these sports team fell into line, didn't use their brains like Aaron Rodgers did, they forced their players to get injected. Some of those players are grievously injured. They dropped unconscious on the field of play."
My second quote of this Like what does he think his job is
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayCornyn: "There's nothing we could do to rein in the president"
The final agreement to reopen the thing that was open before we lost American lives, committed war crimes, and wasted untold billions of dollars on will be a massive win
Shipwreck@shipwreck75.bsky.social · yesterdayU.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio: There has been progress in talks to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, but no final agreement has been reached yet. We are hopeful that an agreement will be finalized very shortly.
Anyone remember that military airspace restriction over El Paso?
Not good timing, but some extremely important points in this now unredacted part of the 2024 Autopsy: -loss more about Dem turnout decline than swing voters -Dem consultants extracting huge $ for bad advice -Biden shouldn'ta run -spam PACs ruining fundraising www.nytimes.com/2026/08/03/u...

Gregg Gonsalves@gregggonsalves.bsky.social · 4d agoNeed to have some frank talk about #Yale President McInnis, General Counsel Alexander Dreier and the trustees. First, they keep saying that they are compelled to enter into a settlement with the #Trump administration. Untrue. 1/
Update from the July 2026 Steam Hardware Survey Linux based systems accounted for 4.01% of the respondents, down from the all time high of 5.3% from a few months ago but still in line with a gradual upward trend since the launch of the Steamdeck in March 2022
im just a bird@hawkbirdguy.bsky.social · 5d agoWell this is something StatCounter seems to have done some data revisions and doesn't classify desktops as "other OS" anymore And their July 2026 chart shows Linux shooting up to almost 12% while Windows has fallen below 56% This is VERY imperfect data but that's wild cc: @papapishu.bsky.social
I don't know why any wall street firm wouldn't pony up to get this early
Doug Aoki@nantanreikan.bsky.social · 4d agoPathetic in so many ways.
Despite having 1% more charisma than JD Vance the idea that this twerp would be a viable Dem candidate for president has always been asinine

It is crucial to keep saying this, because too many people are going to say, "Let's just move on" if the Democrats win in November & 2028. But we can't just do that & leave the entire competitive authoritarian system in place. We have to become a real democracy. That requires institutional reform:

To be making the argument in 2026 that immigration is a Republican leaning issue so Democrats shouldn’t campaign on it, and especially Trump’s overreach on deportations, is to be completely ignorant of the data and events of the last 18 months
Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social · 5d agoThis is the problem with the idea that Dems can't go on offense on immigration. It's not okay for Collins to have a clear field on TV to sell herself as a moderate on ICE. CNN has Trump 22 points underwater on this. Two other polls have Ds *tied with the GOP* on it! newrepublic.com/article/2138...
But its China's fault and its such a big deal that we're negotiating bilateral trade with them as they continue to supply Iran with support
