Diggs to LV, let’s get it over with

If you show up to Bluesky without following anyone, you'll be treated to a series of posts about art, music, and dogs. If you show up to X without following anyone, you'll be bombarded with right-wing conspiracies and white supremacist slop. It's weird which one is seen as a "political bubble"

You could have voted no on Blanche. Idiot.

They are the Epstein Party. Every single one of them.

Well there either ARE witnesses, or there are not. And if there are, Trump can try to silence them (with threats or a payoff) but if that doesn't work... LYING UNDER OATH is not a deal-breaker for the GOP if you are a Republican?

BREAKING: Sen. Dick Durbin accuses Todd Blanche of lying under oath. He says Blanche told him in his office — with witnesses — that the slush fund was a mistake. In his confirmation hearing, Blanche denied that remark.

I sure hope someday the world gets better instead of worse

Elon Musk's politics are indistinguishable from Paul Golding of Britain First [except Britain First is more coded on violence, while Musk has been more openly pro-violence as inevitable, necessary, legitimate since Aug 2025] The main pro-Hitler YouTuber "Zoomer Historian" is encouraged.

I’m just glad the tariff refunds are going to help out struggling multibillion dollar companies in these difficult times.

Wait, Keaton Mitchell might be able to catch passes?

Give a man a fish and he’ll find a way to fuck it. Teach a man to fish and they are sure to decimate the species.

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

Trump Moves to Cut Off Student Loans for Tons of Degrees

Under a new rule, if your degree doesn’t make enough money, you won’t be able to get a student loan.

One sign of the rise of male supremacy and the decline in women’s status is the ubiquity of online porn lingo in casual speech.

It was this one, and, yes, I do believe that was an All In first.

many of the companies deeply invested in hyperscaler expansion control or own the biggest legacy and social media spaces in the world. it's remarkable to see public opinion move against them like this.

Do you have any idea how unpopular your industry has to be to get the governor of Texas to pause approvals of your newest facilities? Abbott just halted all data center approvals in his state until they're properly vetted: www.texastribune.org/2026/08/03/t...

They don’t care about their legacy. That should concern you.

According to King and the ACLU, she was on her property the whole time, Idaho NG troops initiated by opening her gate and coming after her. No comment from IDNG.

i think the only really legitimate policy debate in america is between the far left and center left. i do not recognize conservative policy as a legit alternative.

I’d rather have people > AIs. It’s clearly more like 3200BeatWriters covering the NFL and they’re the lifeblood of information for us. Death of a salesman? More like Death of the thing that makes us human: connection.

It sure looks like the U.S. has spent $100 billion and left 18 Americans dead and 600 injured in order to hand control of the Strait of Hormuz to Iran and do nothing about nuclear proliferation except encourage it.

I mean, FDIC insurance is only up to 250K. When Giannis said he had 25 accounts, it got me curious. 300 closed accounts should get your attention.

Companies love to promote women and minorities when you know who has botched the operation for years.

Immigrated to the US in the 90s. Nothing would prepare me for driving through Pennsy-Tucky on my way to Altoona in the 00s. This exchange is par for the course on the very few radio stations I was able to pick up. There won’t be any statements released clearing this up, PGH doesn’t care.

A huge issue for the populist right in adopting Christianity so heavily as a identity marker against Muslims, is that the core theology of Christianity very explicitly rejects their ideas.
