As someone who grew up in SoCal and remembers smog alerts and maybe being able to see the mountains once a year, yeah, air quality is soooooooo much better these days

Food, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.

One of the problems with people who spend too much time on X is that they lose all ability to do basic reading comprehension

If you haven’t fallen in love with @beetlemoses.bsky.social yet, why? Wtf are you doing?

The burden is always on us lefties to welcome them, debate them, compromise with them, find middle ground, and generally make them comfortable. It’s totally one directional. No one is calling for Truth Social to make any room for us.

Bet you didn't know that the Little Morton Salt Girl is an immortal being who existed before there was life on Earth.

Personally I would love to see Bluesky expand. It shouldn’t just be the app for leftists who can’t stand Matt Yglesias! It should also be the app for liberals who can’t stand Matt Yglesias. And apolitical folks who can’t stand Yglesias. And, yes, even conservatives who can’t stand Matt Yglesias!

everything about this is fake except what i have to pay

i’m never gonna be able to fire a cruise missile yet the question of using my tax dollars for them has never been up for debate

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

This is it right here. This is the shit people ignore. Trump is back in office and every single J6er got let out of jail. Why on earth would they NOT try it again. There were absolutely no consequences for doing J6. They won. They're back in power and the thugs are free.

Jan 6th worked out fine for them so it's pretty obvious they'll do it again

Insane that democrats keep trying to cave on this issue rather than amplifying the fact that it’s being spearheaded by bigots and freaks

An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play

it’s very funny that the person who made the sign that looks like it’s from a 7 year old is the mom and not the 7 year old. Like those signs are supposed to be made by the kids lol

It's hard to overstate how ISOLATING and scary it was with a child under 5 waiting for that under 5 vaccine. The world was kind of moving on and you not only couldn't, you had to be scared for your child every day

Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social · 3d ago

Also the Republicans were screaming that Fauci helped authorize vaccines for children, which is something every goddamn parent I know was praying for every day for more than a year and have been thankful for ever since. These people are all self-centered idiotic sociopaths, nothing more.

These guys won’t stand up for the daughter of a Republican US Senator and they’ll never stand up for your daughter. But they will send some goon to inspect her crotch.

Max Miller is denying all the allegations against him and you can tell he's sincere because of the popped collar.

Kamala Harris: I know this is going to be controversial coming from me in particular, we need to revisit the electoral college. We need to revisit the point of expanding the court. We need to revisit, if they so want, statehood for Puerto Rico and D.C.

This sounds familiar, but I can’t quite place it…

LAPD officer who recorded colleagues' racist comments to be charged with felony eavesdropping

So many sneering elitist journalists with snarky posts over the past months that the Reflecting Pool story was trivial. It was so trivial that the DC US Attny presented false evidence to a grand jury to indict an innocent man to please the President while they both lied about it.

Every dollar spent on social services is, in some sense, a theft from the weapons industry

Chaperoning a preschool trip to the aquarium and one of the other dads who is vaguely familiar with what I do comes up to me and goes “man I sure hope we get some Nuremberg-style trials at the end of all this”

Sometimes when doing genealogy research you stumble upon stuff that leaves you speechless.

finally, the Democratic party has a plan.

This guy would win in a landslide if he ran for office. I promise you there are SO MANY voters waiting for the "Were going through every file and we will find all of you" candidate to take on the New Gestapo. Establishment Dems will never hold anyone accountable. They had their chance and blew it

The only taxidermied blue whale in the world, 1865 CE, now housed at the Natural History Museum in Sweden. The public was allowed to enter the whale up until a couple was found having sex inside it. Now the whale’s jaws are opened only for special occasions, such as Swedish election days.

A tremendous thread about a chance encounter with Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito.
