Indigenous inhabitant of Queens These are all rough drafts
seriously: MAGA+MAHA wants you to die on the OR table someday because ICE nazis have decided the person who could've saved your life wasn't white enough for their likes. you should bless God every moment you raise up an immigrant & literally kick the f'n teeth of every racist you can possibly reach
Gotta love this middle aged couple that pulled up to the Prospect Park lake blasting the Ghostbusters theme and who are now feeding the geese Popeyes
CLR James is mentioned multiple times in the Introduction so we're coming out the gate hot
Next up! Multiple people have come to me with this book saying that they think it was written specifically for me. Two things about that: 1. The brand is strong 2. I hope they're right
Some people are in need of catharsis today, so let me recommend saying the name "Bonita Gooch" aloud until you feel better
Churchy Lil Guy might be my least favorite subgenre of Republican. Just plainly dishonest and so goddamn smug about it
The speaker downplayed the Max Miller saga by claiming that "there’s all sorts of domestic events going on with 435 members of Congress all the time."
It must be so cool to spend tens of millions and dollars and still lose. I hope the catered lunches were worth it
My favorite part of this book is the first act, describing the vibrancy of Jewish life in Newark in the early 40s, and the Roth family's different responses for the rise of fascism in Lindbergh's America. The second act spends too much focus on the author's self-insert, an 8 year version of himself.

We're reinventing cars from first principles
Hear this guy out: horseless horse carriages. And why did Kirk Skodis think of this idea? Is he an animal rights activist or advocating for the drivers? Neither. He's an ideas man!! hellgatenyc.com/hear-this-gu...
Was playing Seal a few days ago as a bit and now the algorithm is giving me way sexier playlists
He (similar to Mamdani) could've been so angry with the country they were raised in. The rampant bigotry from 9/11, instead they decided to be better than the hatred, rise above and bro I'm about to move to Michigan I'm getting choked up
It's hard for me to get animated about sharp comments directed at the construction of the Vance family when JD sits near the top of a government that revels in the violent destruction of families every day
i honestly want to talk to someone who thinks this is a bad thing to say
Ftr, I have no idea what any of this means, but: I'm Lawful Cozy on the network alignment chart 🧭 my polar opposite: @highestmarx.bsky.social (Chaotic Mogger). plot your own network → bisks.net/alignment-ch...

Plot a Bluesky handle's moots onto a 3×3 alignment grid — CHILL↔HARSH × GOONING↔MOGGING. Find yourself. Find your worst mutual. It's a bit.

It's a fun irony that the Yankees are the family business and the Mets are the evil behemoth
Pretty fucked up to dox me like this
just became aware of William Howard Taft’s 1908 campaign poster
as a straight dude I agree too. it's evidence of a weak will and/or poor attachment to good values, and we've all got LGBT friends or family. more practically I've seen way too many people go batshit fucking crazy down the transphobia waterslide
Squishiness on trans rights is a dealbreaker for me because (a) it’s a straightforward issue of personal freedom and bodily autonomy much like abortion, and (b) the right is obviously coming after us cis gays next.
Devastating: the parm wedge I left in the apartment while we were away has molded through
Something tells me that the guy who can't match his jacket to his pants is not a particularly fearsome adversary to have
We're assembling a team of the weirdest looking think tank ghouls to fight the communist menace.
I need people to understand that we are witnessing and experiencing a police and carceral system run amuck and if you're not at least coming to the bargaining table with the word "abolition" on your lips then you're making a mistake
Not necessarily my favorite, but the Kerrygold Dubliner slices are a nice mix between the familiarity of a cheddar and the funk you get from a nice parmigiano
People on Bluesky sigh and talk about The Discourse as if it were something required of them instead of something they opt to partake in, day in and day out. You really don't have to. Post about your favorite cheese
Over the protests of pretty much the entirety of the political center in this country. Despite all the propaganda, the horrible truth of who this man is and what he's authored is breaking through
New poll: Americans believe the U.S. should arrest Benjamin Netanyahu by a +22 margin Total: 49-27 Black: 53-13 Hispanic: 52-15 Ages 18-29: 58-17 Harris voters: 74-10 Independents: 55-20 23% of Trump voters agree as well Economist/YouGov:
There should be some kind of an award for when your flight is catastrophically delayed and you're one of the few people who aren't annoying to the airline staff about it
