If Democrats were smart, their next project when congress resumes would be loudly introducing a bill to restore funding to Dolly’s Imagination Library. Just a straight up down vote. Make the Republicans block Dolly. Now. And then never let it go.
What an incredible, purposeful, artistically rich, intentional life.
About 80% of the people who think trans women shouldn't be allowed to play sports also believe that cis women shouldn't be allowed to play sports.

Steve Vladeck@stevevladeck.bsky.social · 6d ago#BREAKING: Over dissents from the three Dem. appointees, #SCOTUS has *granted* the Trump administration’s request to freeze a district court injunction that had blocked the mail-in ballots executive order. But Trump’s EO remains blocked by a different injunction in a different case—at least for now:
I am endlessly jealous that every public works project in NYC comes with a little fun history lesson.

Good news, cis straight guys! You can apparently be adjudicated unsafe to be around girls and still just be around young girls all fucking day all the time even if you’re a big weird creep! So you don’t have to go become trans anymore I guess.

For anyone who thinks the WH forced Melania out of cold storage for that weird handholding shit today, you’ve got it backward. Melania hates this shit and is waiting for him to go to that big gold-plated ballroom in the sky, but the one thing that will get her out of bed is embarrassment.
it's crazy weird that this president's only response to the affordability crisis, a career-ender for any other politician, is basically "what are you, poor? can't afford the gas, poor guy?"
Watching the worst people in the world hurt themselves badly with these things is going to be hilarious.
WBUR@wbur.org · 2w agoImmigration and Customs Enforcement is planning to give its officers high-tech gloves that deliver electric shocks to people they're trying to detain, according to plans posted by the Department of Homeland Security this week.
Cannot wait to rage bait my mother, who hates fireworks and also progressives, into rabidly defending fireworks.
Dare Obasanjo@carnage4life.bsky.social · 2w agoThe only scandal CNN could dig up is that he doesn’t like fireworks? I’m embarrassed for whatever “journalist” had to have their name associated with this article. Both sides have scandals I guess. 🤦🏾♂️
Wait you’re telling me transphobia is often found in close proximity to misogyny and has deep roots in hatred of women? That can’t be right.
anniempeterson.bsky.social@anniempeterson.bsky.social · 3w agoA note on Royce White, the former NBA player who says he's entering the WNBA draft, a judge ruled he abused his wife and teenage son in an April court order and determined he could not have contact with either of them for 50 years. Great way to "protect women's sports" transphobes.
CBS news is assembling an impressive group of people who pretend to be disaffected liberals who have never had a liberal idea or said a liberal thing in their lives. When they finally get Fetterman and Bill Maher in the building we can close the door and reveal it was a rocket to the sun all along.

I am begging you not to believe gazillionaire baseball owners when they tell you Skubal going to the Dodgers means we need a salary cap. Competitive balance is not the reason they want a salary cap. They just want to spend less, and with more predictability, on total payroll. That is all.
It is truly a feat of ignorance to both not know anything about how cities work and ALSO to not know how small towns work.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4w agoHassett: "Data centers are very good for towns bc they create so many jobs & bring people in with high incomes that can buy houses & stuff like that. So if you take a sleepy town that hasn't seen much in the last 30 years & put a data center there, there are gonna be a bunch of happy residents."
Watching AI companies crabs-in-a-bucket themselves into irrelevance is better than like 60% of sports.

Oh man the diaper baby is gonna LOSE IT. I found Ossoff impressive when I volunteered for him in 2020, he is INCREDIBLY good at this.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last mo.Ossoff: "Here's what's going to happen tonight: the world's most famous sore loser will deliver a prime-time presidential sour grapes address to pursue his 6-year-old grievances about the 2020 election, while his war in the Middle East spirals out of control & the cost of living continues to rise.."
"He said 'Boy I hope I don't die before I get to see your ballroom and the big arch and whatever else you're gonna gold-plate, and also they should give you, Donald Trump, as much steak and ice cream as you want, because heart disease is fake news' so those were his last words"

One of those looney tunes bombs, but it's gold plated and you tell him it's an award. New plane, covered in gold. Too heavy, falls right out of the sky. Poisoned ketchup. Also coated in gold. Exploding golf balls (you guessed it, plated in gold). I have so many more of these. Just saying.
They're gonna show us the video of all the vandals and they're all gonna have six fingers and their knees will bend the wrong way and he's gonna be like "look they're vandals it says 'vandals' right here in times new roman on their face"
