Tonight we find out whether Michigan voters are bluesky posters or bluesky replyers

You can never just move on from this, even after he's gone. Without punishment and ostracism for everyone who has participated in his crime spree over the last 18 months you can forget it- we're all just treading water until the next tyrant

“.. Trump has leveraged his control of the federal government to instead escape the scrutiny that every other modern president, not to mention every other regular taxpayer, has been subject to.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/08/03/b...

When you get two cats, how do they decide which one will have a tiny chirp like a pixie’s doorbell and which one will wail like the ghost of a jilted bride?

You ever stare at your dog like I can't believe this is free. He could easily charge for this

It’s hard to explain but tv was better when you couldn’t watch the show you wanted whenever you wanted to watch it and most of the shows were worse and the TVs were worse and the entire experience was worse, that’s when it was better

Watched a multi-acre fire break out before my very eyes and then watched a bunch of helicopters show up and put it out. Government was a good idea, it should do more things like that instead of evil and corruption

never thought short form video would be able to capture a type of humor i can only describe as “the far side-esque” but this comes close.

The president took on a vanity project, gave no-bid contracts to contractors who screwed it up, made up a story about vandals to cover it up, and then fomented a felony prosecution against an innocent scapegoat. You could impeach for anything he's done but "This asshole is out of control" is a layup

When you slow down and think about it you realize it's ten times worse than it seems. Sure it's farcical, but it's also a brutal legal attack on a man they knew to be innocent, done to distract from their own thievery and incompetence and as a flex to terrify anyone who might make them look bad.

When the gods want to test a man's character they put him on the computer

Look, I don't know much about this issue, but according to the media I consume which is carefully engineered to piss me off,

My horrible little dog, whom I love more than my life, has decided he will only eat the most expensive prescription food on the market. I'm trying to explain the economy to him and he doesn't care

Technology is cool, too bad they made it evil

they’re doing nothing to me tomorrow #controlgroup

One drum I keep beating is that the Trumpification of the Republican Party is irreversible. Even after he's gone it will be exclusively cranks, charlatans, and malevolent antisocial goons. "It was always like that"-it wasn't! It's gotten steadily, measurably worse, and he was the nail in the coffin

Don Moynihan@donmoyn.bsky.social · 6d ago

New, from me: It is fine to disagree with aspects of the pandemic response. But what we saw at Fauci's hearing was something different: a show trial where cranks tried to threaten and shift blame to an public servant. Here is why this is bad for all of us.🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/watching-t...

The data center mania happening at a time when climate change is already such a serious and obvious problem feels like a taunt. You are pissing me off on purpose

Jeff Sharlet@jeffsharlet.bsky.social · 7d ago

"By the end of 2030," reports NYT, the amount of energy used by data centers"is expected to quadruple, eclipsing the power used by all countries in South America and Africa combined." This is extinctionism.

The woke mob is mad about my murder spree even though it's creating lots of new jobs at funeral homes

say what you will about AI, always-on voice recording and auto dictation has been a game changer for my workflows. Save post and close app. Yeah Footlong meatball sub on white. No veggies. Don't toast it. Ranch and barbecue sauce. Yeah, ranch and bargecue sauce. More. More. Little more please

Once you have a lot of money it becomes easier to get more money by doing nothing, which disincentivizes work. This is why all our billionaires post insane bullshit all day. If they had to work they'd be too busy to act like this, doubly benefiting society

Billionaires being unafraid to say things like this publicly is a major indicator of how bad things have gotten

Very cool that Shopify’s CEO thinks the poor should have far less of a vote than the rich. Still worth that ad read money, folks?

Their plan is to say as little as possible and win by default, which in their mind is the safest path that doesn't alienate anyone. This misses the opportunity to galvanize the public around important issues, and then they throw up their hands about how the voters are ignorant and apathetic

Don Moynihan@donmoyn.bsky.social · last wk.

I do find it amazing that even in this moment, the Dems can't come up with some sort of "Contract for America" like language that offers an alternative to Trump. Maybe they have it, but whatever governing vision they have is lost in the noise.

Wile E. Coyote, despaired, takes a bucket of paint and a brush and paints a beautiful two-bedroom house on a mountainside. He paints a beautiful coyote wife in the window, and two adorable coyote kids running around in the yard. He tries to enter this new coyote life, but it is inaccessible to him

Again, what right wing Republicans and Democrats call "socialism" is the sort of regulated capitalism that was consensus for much of the 20th century. They pretend it's anti-market when really it's only anti-oligarchy

Yes, the Problems are bad, but this is no time for radical things like Solutions

Renewables are now the world's largest source of electricity – and the main source of new supplies

Media outlets already helping this generational asshole whitewash his crimes. Democrats are likely about to be in power in the next few years and he wants to give them any flimsy reason to pretend he's not that bad

‘I got carried away’: Elon Musk expresses regret about Doge and wading into Trump’s orbit

I got married yesterday and finally fulfilled the prophecy

Guy at the park rode by on a bicycle pulling a little dog trailer with a pomeranian in it, everyone went "aww" and he, without slowing down, very drily goes "He had a heart attack"

An amazing quote from Lindsey Graham in this Atlantic story. It really captures an essential truth about politics that too few people ever really come to terms with. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
