If I had to describe the heart and soul of Bluesky it would the following: a guy who didn’t actually read Emily Wilson’s review of Nolan’s Odyssey movie defending it against a guy who didn’t actually watch Nolan’s Odyssey movie

friend told me yesterday that Harry S Truman said that if he hadn't become a politician, he'd be "a piano player in a whorehouse." Now that job's gone too... replaced by a Spotify playlist of AI music at the Jordan Peterson Chinese milking factory

I think it's simple. They're mad that a Black woman is playing Helen because the Black woman in question is drop dead gorgeous, sexually attractive in many ways straight white men would otherwise covet. That's what they hate. They hate their own desire. It makes them feel bad. Someone must pay.

It seems like politico and NYT and the post have helped Maine voters and the rest of us more than anyone. I think with some proper vetting, the right lobster could beat Susan. Why not? Kentucky elected a turtle that has been on the phone all day assuring people he’s alive.

you guys remember that scene from Independence Day when all the kooks went to the top of that building to "greet our new alien friends" and got instantly evaporated. thinking of that scene again for no reason

11 minutes ago Aishvarya Kavi Reporting from the National Mall It is a chaotic scene on the National Mall. Several hundred people have refused to leave despite an order to evacuate because of severe inclement weather that is approaching. Some are even arguing with Secret Service agents. At one point, a crowd of people began running back toward the stage. An officer is sternly repeating the order over a bullhorn and the crowd is booing. Many have begun chanting "U.S.A., U.S.A." A federal law enforcement officer is trying to assure people that the event has not been canceled. Many are not convinced. One man walking by blamed the situation on "liberals in the weather service," adding, "I think this is baloney."

My latest: I don’t respect America at 250. The only thing I can think of is how America is still a young, spoiled brat of a nation that no one is able to discipline. Foreign writers have been commenting on the US's developmental problems for centuries. karenattiah.substack.com/p/america-ne...

America Needs to Grow the Fuck Up

Once you understand the moral psychology of America's immaturity, everything about America's 250th birthday makes sense.

the way it works is that if i say, "i'm a black american," sam alito thinks that is "dividing people up by race." but if someone says, "get that jigaboo out of my country," alito thinks, "looks like nothing to me"

Alito authoring opinion saying fixing a racial gerrymander is also racist and then musing, 2 hours later, during oral argument about Trump's racist effort to end humanitarian protections against deportation for Haitians, about how he doesn't like dividing up people by race I loathe this man so much
