Me lobbing the president softballs: And the Democrats say you literally eat babies. So very silly. Trump: You know they are right. I eat babies very strongly and I am not sorry Me: That's a good joke Trump: I am not joking Me: Mr. president, work with me here Trump: The babies are delicious

Uncarved Pumpkin Struggling With Survivor’s Guilt
RALEIGH, NC—Racked with shame as it contemplated the fact that it remained unscathed nearly a week after Halloween, a local pumpkin confirmed Friday that it was struggling with survivor’s guilt. “Of a...

fundamentally I just refuse to be scared by the Miller thing yes, he’s one of the worst people alive yes, he’s going to do bad shit but folks we are going to win a senate seat in fucking Mississippi fuck him and fuck them, we are going to win
Someone must follow Trump and each of his administration around at all times with a kazoo and start playing it whenever they speak.
Puff the Magic Hater@mskellymhayes.bsky.social · last wk.What's your most ridiculous, newly emboldened political demand? (Absurd answers only.)
Trump right now, looking at the very finger with which he poked Husted. "Like steel," he whispers to himself, brow furrowed. He cups his purple hands like he's squeezing. "I don't understand--they were so firm!"

@americanfric.bsky.social since you keep wondering about egg prices, here's the latest!
Jake Grumbach@jakemgrumbach.bsky.social · 3w ago“For years, economists dismissed corporate collusion as crankery and blamed bird flu for high prices. Then the feds found evidence that could prove the cranks right, and almost nobody noticed.” www.politico.com/news/magazin...
I was so moved by this Christian dad’s response to a despondent trans kid whose father wouldn’t support their care on “Christian” grounds. It’s never OK to use Christ as a weapon of hate. God is love. 💗 www.reddit.com/r/cisparentt...
Just wait until he hears the story of James Donald Bowman. Who came home from school one day and said that now he wants to be James David Hamel. Then he started wearing eye shadow and said he'd rather be called JD Vance. These things happen.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4w agoTrump: "We have 5 states where your child goes off to school as Tim and comes back as Tammy 3 or 4 days later. It's true. And teachers make a decision. 'Goodbye Timmy I love you so much, I'll see you later.' And you say, 'Where's my son? My son is in the hospital.' Can you imagine?"
I don’t understand why the press secretary being a fraud is a bridge too far for the fraud administration propped up by the ‘news’ channel that legally has to refer to themselves as an entertainment channel so they won’t get sued for lying
On this day in 1859, John Brown's raid on Harper's Ferry begins. Although ultimately defeated, the uprising is considered an important cause of the Civil War and thus did help lead to the abolition of the institution of slavery. anticolonialhistory.com/event/124/
#SaveTheAcademy of Natural Sciences and reopen its public museum! It holds one of the largest collections of South American freshwater fishes in the world including type specimens that I and my peers described and entrusted the museum to curate for perpetuity. @acadnatsci @savetheacademy @drexeluniv
Domestic abuser remains the best frame to actually understand Donald Trump
Jessica Tarlov: "People aren't thinking about transing kids." Gutfeld: "I'm reminding them." Transphobia is an electoral strategy.
Jessica Tarlov@jessicatarlov.bsky.social · last mo.This election is going to be about the economy. That’s why the GOP is losing support from men. Trump won them by 12 in 2024 and Dems have a 4 point lead now. No amount of fear mongering about ‘transing’ kids is going to make voters look at their grocery bill and think ‘eh this isn’t so bad.’
“There's nothing wrong with you if you planted something and then your plant died. Just try again.” So ... what can you plant now? @samdelgado.bsky.social asked a few experts:
What foods and flowers to plant for fall in D.C.
Autumn is actually the best time of year to put in perennials (and there's still time for many veggies, too).

Sober listening material that confirms everything I suspected about lethal injection.
Dahlia Lithwick@dahlialithwick.bsky.social · last mo.On the insanity of the "medicalized" facade of the death penalty with @corinnabarrettlain.bsky.social and SCOTUS versus all environmental protections, ever, with @whitehouse.senate.gov. Another non-curtainraiser show.
This is what I mean. I have to wonder how it's possible to explain this to people. It has to be possible. But no one's even trying.

Okay, I'm trans and I still don't know who to ask. I'm strongly in favor of kids transitioning, but not genital surgeries... right? I'm guessing you physically can't do those, won't get good results, until the kid is well thru puberty and is a young adult.
i am finishing up the book REGIME CHANGE and the only real takeaway from it should be that the president is legitimately delusional and that the entire White House is structured to feed and defer to his delusions
My cabbages are tattered, my lettuces never germinated, but red leaf amaranth has beat the heat and produced a respectable harvest for the food pantry community garden. It tastes like spinach but it's a C4 plant, so it loves the heat while other greens wilt.
