The Fauci hearing was a disgrace. Here are some reminders of how it really went down in 2020. Never forget.

American cities are amazing places that drive everything great about the USA. We need to dissolve the system of rural right-wing minority rule derived from the artifacts of slavery. Let the cities lead.

Most of the World Cup games were in blue cities. Thousands of complimentary videos. An amazing event handled incredibly well. Not a word from Dems taking a victory lap

Whatever Harry Kane’s politics, the orange bad man is the ultimate cooler and now that this is publicly revealed… England is in trouble.

Well last night was embarrassing but what can we expect once the biggest loser in the entire world got involved.

Some Belgian vandals cut a 350 ft gash in the USMNT’s defense.

According to VAR regs, a still should show the point of contact - in Balogun’s case, his toe, studs down, accidentally catching on the sock of the player who closed space to challenge him. Instead we’ve frozen the video to imagine a stomp which never happened.

Billionaires hate renewables because we don’t have to keep paying them forever for sun or wind, like we do with fossil fuels.

This tournament has been a great success largely because VAR had avoided doing what it decided to do today.

If you thought the reflecting pool was bad, wait until you see the ballroom.

So 4 Justices on the Supreme Court believe the President can legally rewrite the Constitution by Executive Order.

So according to the Supreme Court Congress isn’t allowed to delegate rulemaking or enforcement to independent agencies. Citizens should settle their disputes in court against the corporations they have no standing to sue if an Agency controlled by a loyalist says so.

The Fed can protect rich people from Trump. Any other agency that protects normal people, not so much.

The two decisions on this only share two justices (Roberts and Kavanaugh) on the winning side in both. These decisions are filled with such swiss cheese logic and there are wildly disparate concurrences and dissents for each.

Why am I watching commercials 22 minutes into a half of football? Just stay with the hydration break. We missed a bunch of play, wtf.

Seems like a new curse has dropped in NY.

"Musk estimates SpaceX's potential market at $28.5 trillion, but only $370 billion would come from space, $1.6 trillion from Starlink and $26.5 trillion from AI."

The SpaceX IPO is like when Apple made everyone download that U2 album but your iPod is now your 401k.

Just Some Guy@utopianparallax.bsky.social · 2mo ago

The SpaceX IPO and the flurry of rules-changes around it should really be a bigger scandal. It's not only one of the biggest swindles in human history, it's proof of nearly universal corruption. We are simply ruled by thieves and gangsters.

Pro-tip: If after starting a war, you find yourself desperately trying to restore the status quo from before the war, you have lost the war.

Just got a notification from Zillow pitching a local short-sale. Stick a fork in it, the economy is done

Maybe the US automakers want to un-cancel their EV plans

Oh quelle surprise. It turns out Trump is a pedophile and his fellow-traveler partner in crime was conveniently killed while he was in federal prison during his first term. QAnon was a psy-op to provide cover for the real perps and their actual conspiracy.

So wow it turned out that real hockey players are exactly the kind of horrible people that make it impossible for someone oriented differently to come out of the closet.

I think it's best for everyone to understand that the unified class project of billionaires right now is to do to white collar workers what globalization and neoliberalism did to blue collar workers.

genuinely stunning image

Democrats needing to message on affordability as the country endures a brutal authoritarian takeover is tragic. Take it from someone who lives in occupied Minneapolis. Our problems go deeper than prices.

one thing i think is interesting: according to the Constitution, donald trump is not the president of the united states

Mark Chadbourn@chadbourn.bsky.social · 7mo ago

Spiralling.

one of the weirdest things about the current moment is how the national media have to pretend like they don't know what this is about. official government social media accounts are posting about racially cleansing America and they have to pretend like it's not clear who the bad guy is.

The Trump Administration is no longer hiding their Nazi inspiration, with Noem adopting a slogan coined by convicted Nazi war criminal Kurt Daluebe, who ordered the murder of every male in Lidice in retaliation for the death of a single SS officer. Is this Trump's plan for American cities?

The Virgin Democratic Party Establishment Candidate: "ICE isn't coordinating with local police. This is no way to bring down prices!" The Chad Episcopalian Bishop: "I have instructed my priests to prepare for martyrdom."

At last night’s candlelight vigil for Renee Nicole Good, Bishop Rob Hirschfeld of the Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire announced he had asked the clergy of the diocese to get their affairs in order and to make sure they have their wills written ...,

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.
