Bernie Moreno is an incompetent father and grandfather and anyone who voted for him should be ashamed of it. He didn't protect his daughter or granddaughter from a known piece of trash.

Eric Michael Garcia@ericmgarcia.bsky.social · 3h agoBernie Moreno’s reaction to Max Miller and his granddaughter “The best part of my day is when I start FaceTiming her. She's a sweet little girl. I can't even express to you what it feels like to have her in my life, I just wish her dad felt the same way.”
I don't want to heap abuse on anyone, but the problem here is in the scale, because most people on here don't have any idea what it is like to replace a failing refrigerator when you are poor. Twenty-five years ago my father wanted to replace his broken fridge with something new... (Cont'd)
Will Stancil@whstancil.bsky.social · 11h agoSince people are still relentlessly abusing me over this, here’s why the so-called “boots theory” doesn’t make any sense. First, what is it? Some people have suggested I haven’t done the background reading, but it’s not a deep idea. It’s from a passage that’s four sentences long.

Longer time mutuals will have heard this already, but my most controversial opinion is (apparently) that most french fries are poorly made trash and that we should start demanding more and better sides.
The Fig Economy@figgityfigs.bsky.social · 2w agoName something small about you that’ll probably make people really mad. I’ll start: I don’t know the difference between different hard cheeses so for the most part Asiago and Romano and Parmigiano Reggiano are the same to me and we go with whatever is shaped like a triangle and cheapest.
This is no defense of this weird article but Google has been so badly infected with ad slop for so long that most of my students don't know it was ever an effective tool for finding things on the internet.

The Bulwark@thebulwark.com · 2w agoThe vibes may be exciting, but if Democrats are going to win this year and in 2028, they must reject the DSA. If you’re tempted by a democratic socialist this year, think of what use Republicans will make of these victories, and ask whether you want to do favors for fascists.
This seems like an appropriate time to remind folks that Linda McMahon covered up the systematic abuse of young boys by two of her employees and personally hired them back after they were fired, after which they continued their systematic abuse. Our Secretary of Education, folks.

Gawd I thought I had seen the most pointless of debates until I saw the daylight savings time debate. Excuse me while I book a flight to a coast so I can walk into the sea.
What keeps institutions and their members safe and respected is legitimacy. When you decide legitimacy doesn’t matter and that you’d rather pursue naked partisanship and flaunt your brazen corruption, people aren’t gonna view your institution as legitimate. Maybe she should talk to her colleagues?

US sports and their habits are mostly explained by remembering that all of them evolved to their current state in the context of one of the many wars we waged
BeijingPalmer@beijingpalmer.bsky.social · 4w agoU.S. sports and their collusion with the college system are so very weird. At least players are no longer required to entirely surrender the first few years of their working life.
In the 80s and 90s, Linda McMahon covered up a string of abuse of ring boys by ring announcer Mel Phillips and McMahon confidante Pat Patterson. Six weeks after they were fired, she intervened to rehire them and made them pinky swear not to do it again. They did. Repeatedly.

David Dayen@ddayen.bsky.social · 4w agoShouting from all sides but they're inching toward convergence on an "inclusive" solution where supporters "participate in an open process to select Platner’s replacement." It recognizes that a backroom deal would forfeit the seat. But the process should be developed by now. Everyone get on with it.
Platner continuing to not leave when asked to is about as on the nose as it gets.
