Don’t threaten us with everything we could ever hope for.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 20h agoTrump on El-Sayed: "If he succeeds, the Dumocrats will gain 4 Senators, 8 Congressmen, many Electoral and Popular Votes, a stacked Supreme Court with 23 Justices, and I will be, sadly, despite the great job we are doing, the last Republican President!"
hairline looking increasingly like tony soprano. wondering if I should just let it happen and go into a gabagool era for a while before getting some of those pills or get the pills now and cling to what I've got. much to think about
my memory of the tea party is that shortly after their appearance the republicans would go on to capture all branches of government to this very day so actual positions aside im not sure why people think comparing them to the DSA is a negative
I will watch the new ted lasso only if it features hannah waddingham singing one musical number per episode. let me know if she sings and i will watch that episode. they should make the whole show out of that. it's a musical now
Musk should be forced to use his personal wealth to clean it up. Clean the moon, you dead eyed haddock-faced bitch. What do you mean it's too hard? you were going to have a city living on Mars as soon as 8 years ago. Do it by Tuesday.

The message "they want to inspect your daughter's genitals" would be astoundingly effective. Which is also why conservative Democrats who want to cave won't say it. In general, they would rather lose and be comfortable than win and have to push hard.
Michael Hobbes@michaelhobbes.bsky.social · 4d agoInsane that democrats keep trying to cave on this issue rather than amplifying the fact that it’s being spearheaded by bigots and freaks

This is ridiculously scary. Yes, we are currently talking about ballrooms and reflecting pools and inflation and Iran and Venezuela and Epstein and crypto grift and the moral rot of the GOP. But all that is going to be forgotten soon. Shit is about to get real, as they say.
Zeke Hausfather@zekehausfather.com · 5d agoI'm not sure folks have realized just how crazy the second half of 2026 and 2027 will be for global temperatures – on the back of a record-smashing El Niño event.

FIFA has a funny set-up where every country gets exactly one vote which means small countries are way overrepresented and you can hang on to power by promising little giveaways to those countries and their reps. Thankfully no similar system exists in the United States government, that would be bad

I've found the best way to differentiate your writing from from very shitty writing is to not write like shit
Jaime Christley [Critters] ah-cha-cha@rohmersimpson.bsky.social · last wk.Scoping out AI to learn how not to write like it looks like AI wrote it, how is that different from using AI to write
the best way to never get accused of using AI for prose is not avoiding the em dash: it is being direct, succinct, and a little bit cold. I might use it on emails if I could make the standard tone "matter of fact and a little bit unfriendly."
ok I'll say it: didn't really like the northman. maybe I need to give it another try, but thought it was too dark, too dour, overwrought, and haven't really liked that particular skarsgard in anything but succession.

Zack Furness@punkademic.bsky.social · 2w agoThe coolest thing about LeBron coming to Philly is that Gov Shapiro once classified the death of 27-yr old Philadelphia teacher, Ellen Greenberg, as a suicide despite 20 stab wounds in this pattern:
