The Dylan Mulvaney thing was in 2023

The thing that's very funny about Elon Musk and his Odyssey ire is that he is new to Right Wing Grifting and didn't remember the first rule of demagoguing which is to pick a soft target.

honestly can't stress enough, as a former family law attorney, how depressingly common Max Miller's behavior and words are, right down to the petty fixation on custody procedure and rules when faced with allegations of shocking violence.

Rep. Max Miller: "When I was reported for child abuse of my daughter for a broken collarbone, my daughter was in my ex-wife's care 9 out of the last 11 days and she took her to the emergency room, which is a contempt violation from our shared parenting plan."

So it was a true scalping.

Oh so now it's illegal for men to update women on their whereabouts

Max Miller story is providing incredible cover for the 65 year old NC Republican congressman who was just found to have been texting his female staff shit like "I had to leave the party because you brought your bf with you 🥺"

Basement Joe Biden!

Thomas Jefferson had the right idea here. The ideal for a candidate is 1) saying you aren't running, 2) hiding out at your house and not talking to anyone, and 3) getting elected to office anyways.

Minor point here but eagles actually do eat quite a bit of carrion. In the winter it makes up the majority of a golden eagles' diet

All of this is to say, GM was picking the bones of the dying streetcar companies. Think vultures, not eagles. And when we talk about the GM conspiracy charges... GM-affiliated National City Lines actually kept streetcars running longer than peer systems. 10/

this is not true. there was no conspiracy. it didn't matter whether the streetcars were publicly owned (seattle, detroit) or private (los angeles, atlanta). a thread (because i wrote a whole-ass book on this): 1/?

David Ho@davidho.bsky.social · 3d ago

Is everyone aware of the General Motors streetcar conspiracy? In the mid-20th century, auto and oil interests bought up electric streetcar systems across the US and systematically replaced them with bus routes and paved roads, funneling commuters toward private cars.

Sen. Bernie Moreno said Rep. Max Miller refused to return his granddaughter’s favorite blue bunny. Reports also show that photos of a syringe and 150mg weed gummies were found in Miller’s bedroom.

I absolutely believe Moreno when he says Miller withheld his daughter’s stuffed animal during a handoff out of spite. he was holding back tears when he described it and it seemed to get to him more than the threat of physical violence

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 21h ago

whoa -- Max Miller on CNN threatens Sen. Bernie Moreno with "exposing a deeply and personal embarrassing matter" after Moreno called for his resignation

this is kind of a hobbyhorse issue for me tbh- i haven't seen the image, i don't wanna see the image, but yeah like pics of your toddler playing in the sprinkler or whatever are private and you should keep them that way but characterizing them as CSAM seems to me to be serving no one here

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 21h ago

TAPPER: One of the files you released was an image of your daughter naked. It was available for a day before it was removed. Your ex-wife's attorney says it could quality as CSAM. That's shockingly reckless behavior MAX MILLER: I wouldn't say it's shockingly reckless. There was no genitalia exposed

They’re calling it the most theater kid story of all time

Pixie Casey@pixiecasey.bsky.social · yesterday

in insane local news, the 26 year old director of a rocky horror production was arrested for sending threatening messages to himself in order to get the play shut down bc he didn’t want to deal with cast drama www.mynbc5.com/article/rock...

i wish this website had a poll cause i would love to field test got placed in a role with the new company post acquisition new company removed me from 3 of the 4 brands i was managing and told me that i will be standing up the 1 brand left on my plate.

that's a long time to carry the deal financing huh *JUDGE SETS PARAMOUNT-WARNER BROS. MERGER TRIAL FOR MARCH 2027

Always fun to remember that Mordecai “Three Finger” Brown had one of the funniest names in baseball history but didn’t even have the funniest name of a pitcher on his own team (the 1900s Cubs also employed Orval Overall)

its about the *polecats*

If only there was a cognitive test that required him to remember numbers

Increase in food delivery + nicer home theaters. Why go through all the work and coordination of a date night when we can order dinner and watch a movie on a 77" OLED in the basement after the kids go to sleep?

BeijingPalmer@beijingpalmer.bsky.social · 2d ago

interested if others have noticed this and if so have thoughts on why.

gastown is so ass. asstown.

Tech in particular does need to address the problem that the best way to maximize earnings is to job switch relentlessly.

evelyn@evelynwebsite.com · 2d ago

free rider problem here is gonna be so huge. everybody needs experienced workers but basically nobody is incentivized to train them when people job hop every few years

Sports? The thing that Sophie Cunningham plays?

Scoiattolo@scoiattolo.mountainherder.xyz · 2d ago

Good lord I wish some of you could read on this text based social media website.

Gastown isn't a place. It's a people.

Contrast this to Ken Jennings, btw

Hank Green is a great example of only letting the mob get to you if you let them (and he let them)

this is like listening to a 6yo tell you about their dream

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez@ocasio-cortez.house.gov · 2d ago

There is pervasive corruption across our healthcare and agricultural systems that defy party lines. I meet with MAHA activists because a lot of their concerns are bipartisan issues that major corporations paint as partisan. The fight isn't left and right, it's top and bottom.

Yeah there's a reason former Republicans are having 2010 ptsd

Maia@maiamindel.bsky.social · 2d ago

not sure if it's good or bad that the dsa, which until 5 months ago was a book club for underemployed grad students, is beating to a pulp the billion dollar harvard educated democrat operative janissary class with 5 shitty flyers and some twitch streams

I'm sorry but Sophie Cunningham being a conservative who cooked her brain on Twitter is in no way comparable to Enes Kanter, who might have cooked his brain but due to losing his family and becoming an international pariah for standing up to autocratic human rights abuses in his home country

Ben Collins@bencollins.bsky.social · 3d ago

Oh, I see what's going on here. The Enes Kanter Diminishing Minutes Special. I should've checked a long time ago.

It is not the case that every high level decisionmaker at every mainstream outlet is actually a Trump boosting Republican. They're all Dems who vote for Dems and want Dems to win as well. That's why the Bari Weiss stuff is such a big deal: because the media is *not* actually like that

If youre inclined to give any credence to Annie Jacobsen's Nuclear War or Biological War books, be aware "Roswell 1947 was Stalin sending Mengele-mutants to scare America" is literally something she claims in her earlier Area 51 book

Mike Black@mikeblack114.bsky.social · 3d ago

anyway the """fact based""" argument in this piece of shit is a ~bioengineered~ whatever that somehow kills literally everyone in the US in a week lmfao not sure if this better or worse than genetically modified mengele kids doing Roswell for stalin

Fast fashion didn’t nearly kill American fashion retail because people thought Forever 21 and Gap were equivalent quality, or they couldn’t be sure how big the difference was. That happened because people wanted to buy more clothes for less money and wear them fewer times and then get more new stuff
