Best Damned Nonprofit in Vermont. Congratulations to Merrymac Farm Sanctuary and thank you to all you people who went and voted for them. This is the actual real-life farm upstate where the animals go to live with their friends.

WE WON!!! We are simply blown away to have won the @sevendaysvt Best Non Profit in Vermont. Not only is the award a huge honor it also comes with a $10,000 grant from @vtcommfoundation! We truly can not thank you all enough for you votes and support.❤️❤️

One thing we can and should do when we get the House back is to impeach RFK Jr and hold hearings with testimony from ER docs, ICU nurses, morgue attendants, and everyone else who would like to respond to his claim that there were empty ICUs. He should be in the room.

People don’t get to forget this. I’m sorry, they don’t. We can’t let them forget.

Even if they did turn off the gravity there's no reason to think that everything would float upward, that's just sloppy thinking.

Looks like my birthday will be an exciting one.

Not the kind of thing I usually repost, but this just makes me happy. I feel about the F-86 the way I feel about the MG-TC, just beautiful technology that was still somehow on a human scale.

Jamie McTrusty@jamiemctrusty.bsky.social · 4d ago

I was today years old when I found out that actor Michael Dorn is an accomplished pilot who owned an F-86 Sabre in the 1990s. He once ran out of fuel and made an emergency landing at a military airfield. The base commander agreed not to tell the FAA in return for autographs and two low level passes…

Just in case anybody still needs to be told, and again I haven't seen this from my people but I have seen it and it annoys the hell out of me. Lots of do-nothing Democrats out there, Beshear is not one of them.

Monetize the Eschaton@ligernull.bsky.social · 4d ago

I swear to fucking God you out-of-state idiots need to keep Andy Beshear's name out of your mouths. He can NOT appoint a Democrat to the seat, so stop demanding it. He CAN call a special election, but that would be a pointless exercise because the seat is already up for election this November.

I miss college.

Mr. Plumbean@chrisbrody.bsky.social · 5d ago

A worthy companion to my graduate seminar “Philosophy of Music Through Shitposts” where each week we examine a music-related shitpost that smuggles in some philosophical commitment

I am 78 years old and have called myself a socialist since I was 13 and it has been damned lonely for a long time, Bernie was an early bright spot but wow willingness to say the word has really changed very fast. It seems like the secret is to get a few more people to say the word without apology.

Ariel Edwards-Levy@aedwardslevy.bsky.social · 6d ago

Also, see this smart piece from my colleague Ed Wu (also, smartly, not on social media), who notes that self-IDed democratic socialists are among the Democratic Party's staunchest supporters (e.g., they rate the party more highly than do non-dem. soc. Dems) www.cnn.com/2026/07/30/p...

Press photographers are going to be fighting one another to get pictures of the dumpster outside the Oval Office on Jan 20 2029.

Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino posted this video of the Oval Office and it somehow looks even more embarrassing than I realized

Really impressive hummingbird ballet this morning with 4 hummingbirds trying to come to a working arrangement at 2 feeders. I didn't know I had that many hummingbird customers.

Recommended viewing even if you think you're not particularly interested in what it's like to intern at the NE Ohio Regional Sewer District.

for an intern's POV, we decided to ask AI: Actual interns.

Yeah, if you're trying to be part of the Christian Intellectual Dark Web and you can't get the Discovery Institute on your side you need to look for another line of work.

Mike Masnick@masnick.com · 7d ago

When even the Discovery Institute (!!!) is like "yo this dude is full of shit" you're really scraping the bottom of the barrel. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_B...

Oh, I want to see this. I would buy a TV to watch this.

Aubrey Gilleran@aubreygilleran.bsky.social · 7d ago

I need a Joyce Carol Oates/Emily Wilson literary feud for the ages. I want them arguing on TV like Norman Mailer and Gore Vidal’s Dick Cavett Show fight.

Most of the people I know are leftists and I have never heard any of them speak an unkind word about Godzilla, so I find this guy's whole argument kind of questionable.

Lupita Nihongo@otsumamiboy.blacksky.app · 4w ago

You gotta admit ‘leftists don’t actually like Godzilla’ is a thesis statement so fire that if you cook it up you gotta follow through with it even if you have no idea where it’s gonna take you.

Harris campaign really should have let Tim Walz speak in his natural voice.

See you in court, creep.

Funny that you should say that, Congresswoman, because actually if you look in the Bible

cait (and adonis)@cait.bsky.social · last wk.

that is in fact literally in the bible. it's Matthew 6:5.

Have to emphasize that I don't think you guys are the ones doing this, I am just rebroadcasting this on general principles because the noise about this is so annoying.

Rob the Genius!@rbonne1.bsky.social · last wk.

For the slow people out there, it's either empty seat with no vote because Mitch ain't there or a full seat with a functioning R vote. There is no scenario in which the seat gets filled by a Dem so put the crack pipe down, ok?

I hope this is not insulting anyone I follow or anyone who follows me, but if you are tempted to repost the the thing going around that starts "Kentucky’s constitution gives Gov. Beshear the power to appoint a Democrat to McConnell’s seat" please don't. The constitutional language is ambiguous, 1/2

I try so hard to not be constantly embarrassed about my gender and then something like this happens.

OK, without looking yet, what's your first guess after reading the headline "After Budget Cuts, Marmots Join OnlyFans"?

Gwen Snyder is uncivil@gwensnyder.bsky.social · 2w ago

I stared at this headline a full minute trying to imagine a reasonable explanation. And then it turned out to be literally actually the picture that had first popped into my head

Heard Troy Jackson speaking on the radio this morning and disappointed to learn that he does not sound like a character from the old Bert and I records.

The man who thinks that the Cybertruck is the perfect personal vehicle is supremely confident that (1) supermarket industrial tomatoes are better than backyard/farmers' market/farmstand tomatoes and (2) everybody knows that supermarket tomatoes are obviously the best tomatoes, we all agree on that.

Helen Kennedy@helenkennedy.com · 2w ago

Musk insisting storebought tomatoes are better than homegrown tomatoes is the most perfect distillation of how ignorant he is of daily human life and the small joys therein.

Another good response a propos my previous repost. Not trying to pile on this particular poster, it's just there's been a whole lot of these lately and it needs to be discouraged. If you can't say something nice there's other more appropriate posters to say it to.

Cats of Yore@catsofyore.bsky.social · 2w ago

Dude, don't be like this. There is enough misery in the world without pointlessly being a dick to harmless cat accounts who are having little fun.

This past week or so there has been an epidemic of people commenting "why can't all the damned cat accounts just speak proper English like regular people?" and I have been trying to formulate a polite response, but I'm not going to do better than this one. Just amen.

Senator Markey gets it. There is no ambiguity about this, he is promising to commit war crimes in the name of the USA.

Senator Ed Markey@markey.senate.gov · 2w ago

Attacking civilian targets is a war crime, and Donald Trump is a war criminal. Impeachment. 25th amendment . Remove Trump from office now and end this war.

I know at least a few of you guys will like this.

Ed Markey said that ICE should be abolished in 2020.

Senator Ed Markey@markey.senate.gov · 3w ago

Today I made an unannounced visit to ICE’s facility in Scarborough, Maine. What I heard was unacceptable: no body cameras, no training, and no accountability. Johan Guerrero should be alive. Congress must act. Abolish ICE. End qualified immunity.

When I first joined Twitter years ago and didn't really know my way around I was looking for accounts to follow and stumbled across Matt Yglesias and I recognized the name from somewhere, so I thought Oh, that's someone I should follow, people talk about him, so I did. And maybe six months later 1/2

US aid to Israel is the least popular it's ever been so of course the popularist play is for the candidate who's on the right side of that issue is to start talking about trans people

It just strikes me as funny that it's Stephen Miller, the most obvious Lizard Person in the whole administration, bringing up this argument.

PEIPolitical 🇨🇦@peipolitical.bsky.social · 3w ago

Miller: "It's not a coincidence that when you look at these violent Antifa demonstrations not one of the people that is demonstrating looks like a normal person. Not one looks normal. They're all deformed in some way in their appearance, in their dress, in their mannerism." #cdnpoli

Aurora, Colorado: Geo Group employee and ICE contractor can't get into the ICE facility through a crowd of protesters so he shoots one of them. Didn't kill her, and he has been charged with attempted 2nd-degree murder, so not the usual story. www.cpr.org/2026/07/17/i...
