Imagine being GRRM and waking up every morning and going to bed every night knowing that if you don’t get your ass in fucking gear, Season 8 of Game of Thrones is the only ending your life’s work will ever have. Haunting.

Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things.
We did good by our country today. Things may get worse before they get better, but we will prevail. One day like today at a time. #NoKings
I am a father of two that is very concerned about school shootings and public safety. I am a firmly progressive liberal. I think it’s both unconstitutional and a genuinely bad idea to ban assault weapons.
The final boss for MAGA will be the democratic socialists. Might not be for another decade, but they’re coming.
I’ve been on a self-imposed social media break while planning my upcoming wedding. In the meantime, some memes are simply too truthful to ignore…
sad that I can't reduce the $0 I spend on EA games any further
People are taking “Trump 3rd term” stuff way too seriously. Biden declined quite rapidly from the age Trump is now to the end of his term. I just don’t see it. I wish him good health though, because we need to keep that ratfucker Vance out of the Oval Office at all costs.
I like it when Paul Thomas Anderson is very clear about the content of his films. Q: Can I expect to see any blood in this picture? A: THERE WILL BE BLOOD Q: Does your new film feature any battles? And if so, to what frequency? A: ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER
Any other President would’ve been impeached over 104730295729350262066295739 things by now. Norms aren’t enough to sustain democracy.
I was digging Kamala’s book until she said that America isn’t ready for a gay VP on the same ticket as a black-woman President. The box-checking mindset of twenty years ago is precisely why liberals lose so fucking always.
Trump might be the worst thing that’s ever happened to this country, but Vance being a heartbeat from the Presidency terrifies me more than anything else right now.
I’ve spent quite a bit of energy being outraged and appalled by this Jimmy Kimmel thing, and I don’t even really like the guy. I agree with many on the right on this much at least, he is not that funny and network TV is dying anyway. But you cannot have the government censoring speech. Full stop.
The sickening thing is that in hindsight, Brendan Carr’s tweets on these subjects aren’t hypocrisy. He was telegraphing his every move. He was among the authoritarian’s dreaming.
Disney+ has been the only subscription I’ve kept since its inception—never canceled, never paused, never played the bullshit game of canceling and re-subbing when I wanted to watch something. I’ve been loyal. But that ends now.
Our energy and focus is steered so much towards defending our tribes that we've lost sight of the common ground we share as Americans. People agree on a lot more than the corporate media on both sides that are profiting off our divisions would have us believe.
What are some good books you’ve read recently that are relevant to the current political climate? I haven’t read any nonfiction since the election.
Societies don’t usually collapse overnight. They dim slowly, one light at a time, until darkness feels normal. One more light went out today.
Deeper connections happen when vulnerability meets empathy and respect. If someone opens the door to their world and you accept, don’t just look at it through your eyes — try to see it through theirs.
My 2 year old already knows how to skip ads on YouTube. “Bye camahshull.”
I still say fuck them both, but Elon cracked my shit up pretty good today so it seems I was wrong here.
Mike Baugh@mikebaugh.bsky.social · 2y agoWhen Trump and Elon get divorced, I’ll be Team Trump for like a few hours. Fuck Elon.
With each Mother’s Day without your mom, it somehow feels both the same and completely different every year. Different rhythm, same ache.
