can’t believe a narcissist is being so publicly humiliated by a reflecting pool
hey, this is a fairly nerdy news item, but you should absolutely know about it. (looks like there are links in other posts in the thread.) the Post Office is really contemplating not delivering ballots unless states expose their voters' data to DOJ. I hate saying read that again but, read it again
Unbreaking@unbreaking.org · 2mo agoThe USPS’s proposed rule—which among other things will force it to *refuse to deliver ballots* for states that don’t fork over their voter rolls to the White House—drew opposition from congressional Democrats, the NAACP, and its own union.
Meiselas: Katie Miller has been posting about you. I want to give you the opportunity right now to respond. What do you want to say to her? Paulina Mangubat, Content and Creative Director for @TheDemocrats: I want Katie Miller to know that her husband is an ugly fuck.
@winstongambro.bsky.social If you don't mind me asking, how on earth do you know about Bella and the Wych Elm? Just saw it referenced in your high strangeness Reddit post. I grew up right there and I had no idea the story had become a Thing.

I make it a point to show anyone who says "You're better than that" just how wrong they are.
It's just actual insanity at this point. There's a timeline out there where Elizabeth Warren became president. I'm guessing they're having a pretty good time.

I don't really know @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social but I thoroughly enjoyed him grilling RFK in the Ways and Means hearing today www.nytimes.com/live/2026/04... - more please!

The amazing thing about writing is it's basically time travel and whenever I think about that it blows my mind. It's a genuine miracle. I mean, just think about it: a Chinese general from 2,500 years ago can point out the President of the USA is a fucking idiot. It's incredible.
This is a throwaway aside that makes it sound like Swisher is almost totally captured by the Silicon Valley interests she reports on.

It's a lovely sentiment (and who could disagree with a reminder about loving thy neighbour), but I could really have done without the insertion of Jesus into the Artemis II comms. Humanity did this! We should be proud of this achievement all by ourselves!
I guess some people just struggle to recognize true culture when they see it?

Re-upping the idea of journalists asking, "Christ, what the fuck is wrong with you?" to these psychopaths
Sherrilyn Ifill@sifill.bsky.social · 5mo agoGave up all of the currency and promise of the “idea” of America (however flawed), in exchange for “we kill people. We kill lots of people.”
It's difficult to watch the videos in this article and not just see wanton cruelty from the IDF.

Ryan Mac 🙃@rmac.bsky.social · 6mo agoWhile reporting this, I had something happen that's never happened. A comms rep for one of the co's disputed my reporting and said what I was telling them was untrue because it was not in Grok, xAI's chatbot. I was looking directly at the files. And this person was using AI to challenge the truth.
What pisses me off the most about the wanton destruction of the Washington Post is that Bezos will never, ever be pressed on it to his face. He'll never have to squirm and justify the $70m bribe for the Melania movie in light of the layoffs.

McSweeney's@mcsweeneys.net · 9mo agoBut you imagine where you might be, eventually, when you learn IT has HAPPENED. Maybe you will wake up, anxious and scared and angry (i.e., normal). Then, out of nowhere, the push notification from THE NEWS: “Breaking: IT Has HAPPENED.” What will you feel like? When IT HAPPENS?
Remember when they said the reason they caved in March was so they could get a better deal in September lmao
