Wow, it’s been a long time since I’ve had a flight depart from the shitty part of Dulles airport. And it’s going to be a long time until that happens, as my plane is currently in Kansas City.
as a jew who cares a lot about these issues, the fact that the worlds richest and perhaps most powerful man routinely spouts nazi propaganda is very bad and the main story here. But I'd note there's a bit of a gender story in this "poll" as well.
David Rothschild@davmicrot.bsky.social · last wk.Republicans' largest donor (by far) is hosting a robust debate on his platform about whether Jews are white. Corporate Media will ask precisely 0 Republicans about their largest donor's all-consuming misogyny, xenophobia, antisemitism, he will instead by referred to as a visionary industrialist.
I like that this design appears to show the birth date of liberty as 1776, and its death as 2026
We’re going to Vermont to take my child on a college tour. Yesterday he asked me, “Vermont is in the Midwest, right?” I have failed as a parent.
Yes we all think this is stupid but we, the ppl brushing our teeth, are not the customers The customers are the investors who in ~1yr will be enticed to fund Dyson's smart dental AI spinoff, featuring models trained on "the world's largest real time floss dataset" gizmodo.com/dysons-smart...

If you look like this and are talking about low teen fertility rates on tv, someone should follow you around with a megaphone to warn the public about you.
Headquarters@headquartersnews.bsky.social · last wk.Fox News complains that underage teenage girls aren’t getting pregnant enough: “The problem is teens and young adults. From ages 15-19, the fertility rate is down 70% in the last 2 decades, which means we are telling people who are young not to have babies.”
I never got around to reading Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell until now. So I’m 3 hours into the audiobook and just wondering if it’s going to go on like this for the next 30.
reminder: the explicit USPS rule (*currently blocked in court*) is that USPS will not deliver *any and all* mail ballots to voters in states that refuse to provide the fed gov with lists (lists that, even if they wanted, states can't do in time at this point) not technicalities — mass non-delivery
Matt Novak@paleofuture.bsky.social · last wk.This is pretty fucking wild. I had assumed in a worst case scenario he would target blue zip codes and toss ballots based on technicalities but this is even worse than I imagined.

SpacePrez@spaceprez.bsky.social · last wk.The polls are super bad for Trump so he's definitely going to try to cheat www.nytimes.com/2026/09/01/u...
I'm pretty sure even most Republicans did not actively vote for the end times
FactPost@factpostnews.bsky.social · last wk.Vance: I'm trying to focus on doing as much of God's work as possible. And if that leads to the end times, okay
Naught but a leap to the left And then a clockwyse tread; Put thyne handes on thyne hippes, And be thy knees yn-gatheréd: Lo! It ys the pelvique thruste That maketh mirthe down to rayne - Lat us doon the Tyme Warpe agayne!
Listening to Juliette Kayyem discuss the situation in Nepal. Some 90 Americans are missing there, and the absence of a USAID foothold there is making assistance difficult. Meanwhile, the State Department has sent $500,000 in aid. Trump spends more than that on grout for his vanity projects!
Your daily affirmation: Don't sit there feeling sorry for yourself. Get up, get out there, and actively feel sorry for yourself at a bookstore, movie theater, or haunted shopping mall.

US media: Why in the world are people voting for democratic socialists? Financial Times: “US corporate profits have hit a record high while workers’ slice of the pie has sunk to historic lows.”
