there are definitely downsides to the nuclear block but the reason I keep coming back to it as necessary and good is that it completely ruined the whole MAGA engagement model to the point that they prefer to mock us from the nazi bar rather than come here to troll us directly
John Scalzi@scalzi.com · 2d agoBluesky oldheads will remember that brief period of time when the conservative trolls tried to storm the place and were flummoxed by the idea they would have to organically grow an audience and that someone who didn't want to talk to them could nuke every interaction they ever had from orbit
Trump is doing something I call "dementiaganda". He's trying to do propaganda but his dementia is so severe that he doesn't recognize that his claims are laughable and won't convince anyone who doesn't have dementia.
there's a lot of things you could say that explain why someone is not fit for public office but "he cheats at a solo sport " should be all you ever need
the president of the united states regularly goes on incredibly embarrassing unhinged posting sprees full of AI slop and somehow the entire political system just reacts like the This Is Fine dog
the president refusing to defend a state against the nation he started a war with is, like, kind of the biggest thing, you know? kinda sails right past "impeachable" and into darker territory.
Lindsay Beyerstein@beyerstein.bsky.social · 5d agoThis is a crisis of federalism. Tim Walz is asserting as fact that Iran attacked water infrastructure in Minnesota and several other states. And Trump is saying it's Minnesota's own fault they were attacked as part of a war he started.
It's genuinely horrifying that the regime just fucking arrested this guy because their fucking vanity pool project was embarrassing them and tried to prosecute him, this is fucking material persecution and oppression from the regime Moreover, ICE must be destroyed
CNN@cnn.com · 5d agoThe Justice Department is admitting that a $14 million renovation on the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, DC, was flawed, and is dropping the criminal case against a former Olympian that accused him of damaging the pool, according to a new court filing. https://cnn.it/3RJJnwj
That 57% needs to be much higher. Do people not know about the time he threw a bunch of papers onto the floor during a press conference?
i hate that every day i have to learn about some new asshole. why do they keep coming out with new assholes. enough
Are NYC's city-run grocery stores going to have no imposed music?
you can't be "trad" and also a poster, sorry. they didn't let those people post back then
We still have the cultural image that actual Nazis were defeated in the 1940's, and the remaining Nazis are either unemployed basement-dwellers or fringe militias in Idaho. There is still a reluctance by media and business leaders to say openly that the world's wealthiest person is a Nazi.
Dave Levitan@davelevitan.bsky.social · last wk.The ongoing Musk nazi tweets just have me wondering if corporate boards are even a thing anymore
If governments turned off the spigot of money to Musk, he’d be done.
the thing about having actual principles is that when a politician I respect does some stupid shit I can just be like, “that sucks, knock it off” instead of inventing an imaginary world where I’m forced to defend stupid shit for procedural 4d chess reasons
World's richest man is daily calling for assassinations of journalists, violence against politicians, for race riots, retweeting white supremacists, repeating neo-Nazi rhetoric & issuing Anders Breivik style threats.. yet the usually obsessive legacy media is curiously silent on all of this.. weird.
ok but what if elon musk makes racism so cringe no one wants to do it any more
bloomberg has a fun article today arguing that the Cybertruck is the biggest flop in automotive history. it includes this glorious graph.
Yes, the Problems are bad, but this is no time for radical things like Solutions
They moved on from lindsey graham's death so quickly you'd think he died in a school shooting.
It is genuinely bizarre that we’ve become acclimatized to right wingers throwing a tantrum every time a black person (particularly a black woman) is cast in something, but are also supposed to pretend that this is not racism but related to some other substantive concern.
Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez. Jean Wilson Brutus. Tien Xuan Phan. And so many more. 💔 At Chicago vigil, reading the names of people who died at the hands of ICE.
Nothing we can do????? Hope Dems have prepared????? Not hopeful.
Transphobes are uniformly trash and we don't need to pretend otherwise. It isn't complicated.
