Paging @dieworkwear.bsky.social I feel like you should see this, and perhaps explain it. It resonates with me (perhaps the opening on the suit on the right goes down a little too far, but that's my only complaint), comparing them to the American right wing you mock, whose look is just gross...
Remembering when the NYT went on a weeks-long bender covering a decades-old real estate deal the Clintons were involved in, in which they *lost money*.
One reason for Democrats to ditch their reflex to say "You have a point" to the other side is the right wing hasn't had a good point about anything in most of our lifetimes
Every conservative principle that could have merit is already represented in the mainstream Democratic Party, not to mention fully abandoned by conservatives themselves. What's left? Bigotry, sadism, tantrums over corporate logos. This is what you're trying to find common ground with
i actually think there is a wide open lane in american politics right now for āget the US out of israel.ā the challenge is having the steel to weather the inevitable attacks from the right. but āisrael has forfeited american aid because of its behaviorā plays.
"2024 voters love seeing a candidate get torched for their principles, it reassures them the candidate is genuine" is an underrated position imho
Great day for this story to drop
Oh god, someone on a thread invoked āLight of the Worldā aka the Piss Christ and I am really tired and just got off a plane but my impassioned screed on it was on Twitter and as some of you know, I have FEELINGS ON THIS TOPIC.
Ok, brother, listen. This office ..ā¦ very soft. Nobody here cut weight, nobody wrestle. Everybody just type, type, type. You call this business casual? In Dagestan, business casual is tracksuit. Strong tracksuit. Here, you wear khaki. But okay, brother, we go to meeting now.

And Mamdani should be given better support, but the NY Dem Party has some weird issues. But moderate Dems like Nadler and Espaillat have endorsed him. Thereās a long list of NY Dem politicians here: www.zohranfornyc.com/endorsements
The guy who rode Yahoo! Search into extinction. Bad search means more searches, and thus, more ads.
Kagi doesn't suck, I've started using it. Nice to have search that mostly works again.
The scary headlines about "Chorus, a sEcReT dArK mOnEy gRoUp" have been absolutely wild to watch. Because I'm in Chorus, & it's been a godsend. Without it, I wouldn't be able to cover the US's massive modern-day farm slavery problem- at all. youtu.be/f5UwwtrGdak
Please watch the video & listen carefully - ignorance on the left leads to stupid shit just as it does on the right. Study, listen, then speak, in that order.
Well worth a watch if you're het up about that wildly misframed Chorus thing
THIS. Without serious backup, the only people who can risk āØspeaking truth to powerāØ are OTHER people who are rich & powerful. The billionaires are already in charge. There's no way to Simply Cleanse The System Of Money at this point. That takes deep legal reform...which takes winning elections.
Rather like Newsom with the homeless and trans people. Great way to signal that the poor can just die, and the same for trans people.
I generally agree with you, but not letting a sitting member of Congress deliver a pre approved speech to the convention was a real fuck you to a lot of people, and they weren't wrong. I still voted for her, I still think people should have, but that was telling people that they don't matter.
I think it's because Tom in particular very much isn't a "liberal" (but is anti Trump!) but insists liberals should say and do things that alienate the party base to attract a handful of former opposition voters. If they had the numbers, I don't think they would have lost the GOP on the first place.
For me, it's why I prefer Walz to most other 2028 options. He doesn't speak in signals, he rather plainly states his position and will try and argue for it. I find that far more persuasive and in my Blue Guy in a Red State experience, you get far more respect for doing it that way.
Itās an early night but I canāt turn in without leaving a little something for @erinbiba.bsky.social
not a fuck of a lot going on tomorrow beside that announcement huh
An Australian slaughtered 51 Muslims in Christchurch barely six years ago & titled his manifesto after the crackpot 'Great Replacement' thesis motivating the neo-Nazi led March for White Australia. Who cares? Who remembers? Who 'mourns the dead but fights like hell for the living'?
Trump at the podium:
At least 10 gun industry businesses, including Glock, Smith & Wesson, Remington and Mossberg, secretly handed over names, addresses and other data to lobbyists, who used the details to rally firearm owners to elect pro-gun politicians. By @coreygjohnson.bsky.social (Published Oct. 2024)
I love that it's ultimately Trump's narcissism fueling the "we haven't seen this guy make everything about himself for like, what, three days? surely he's dead, it's the only explanation."
This is your Labor Day reminder that the richest 10% of households own 93% of all publicly traded stock. Corporate tax cuts are for wealthy shareholders. Studies show that workers got nothing from Trump's last corporate tax cuts. His new ones cost taxpayers $600 billion.
I'm thinking of gambling on doing a multi-part series on the history of racial segregation and the Fed. I really want to, its what feels right for my writing flow right now. and I have some bombshells from my "original" book research. But I'm a little worried it will land like a lead balloon.

ive got no idea what's going on with Trump's health. But the 'biden precedent' is just so glaring and hilarious. half of 2025 has been taken up with elite press shaming of how no one ever talked abt Biden's age which was actually their main topic in 2024. Ok. Set aside that his party literally ...
Rumors are often false. But sometimes they turn out to be true. And they almost always contain a signal of real fears, uncertainties, and/or confusions.
Real talk, though, this is what can happen when Europeans surrender their actual identities to partake in the social and political advantages of "whiteness." Their "heritage" becomes corporate logos.
RFK Jr. doesnāt care about women, he uses them like tissues. Just read about his pattern of misogyny.
The infallible free market has allocated all its eggs into one basket, historically the safest and most profitable way to store eggs
This reminds me of the line one of my Muslim friends once used when hearing about someone who was suggesting using bacon to keep Muslims out of placesā¦ she says ādo they think bacon is Muslim kryptonite?ā
Normie cyber people it brings me no pleasure to announce the aerospace cyber people absolutely cooked us
I mean Richard Hanania is right about the GOP and its voters getting crazier and pushing out the "normies" in the next couple years, especially after Trump.
Hanania and Richard Spencer being to the left of the median Republican member of Congress is actually quite funny.

cannot tell you what I had for lunch yesterday, but I CAN tell you about driving west on the 101 at golden hour with the sun at 11:30 & rounding a golden spiral curve counterclockwise & how the long shadows of every car in the flow of traffic flung around the axis as if discuses
The Alabama (!) people chanting "who pays the tariffs? who pays the tariffs" and then turning to "shame! shame!" when their rep turns tail and leaves is a keeper.
This is how you handle someone who tries to sell AI slop at a con: remove them, and then clown on them relentlessly

āThe world's leading genocide scholars' association has passed a resolution saying that the legal criteria have been met to establish Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, its president said on Monday.ā 86% of those who voted backed the resolution.
I don't know what took them so long to determine that Israel is committing genocide, not only in Gaza, but also in the West Bank!

Trumpās mysterious disappearance from public raises new questions about Joe Bidenās advanced age

When you see union issues depicted on US-filmed, scripted TV shows, it's a good time to remember that nearly every single person who made that show possible is a union member.
āiām an ally, but only if youāre sufficiently deferential and nice to meā is one of the most embarrassing statements imaginable, yet so many people feel perfectly comfortable shouting it from the rooftops absolutely mortifying

9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nationās public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
Weāre only a few years removed from creatjng a vaccine to protect against a deadly airborne virus in a matter of months. Now, we have a scion fail son running the CDC into the ground not because it failed, but because its success conflicts with RFK Jrās eugenicist ideology.

It frankly boggles my mind that we have invented a computer that cannot do math.
Went to look at how people were responding to Nate Silver's "blueskyism" post, and I gotta tell you, a very large number of people on X seem to think that Bluesky runs the Democratic Party. And have I got news for them...

this could be a effective way to make fun of techbros who are convinced they are singular and unique geniuses, although it'd be way funnier if you could set this up to run on X - where you could observe how many techbros fail to recognize the simulation
If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.

People literally bled & died fighting against corporate interests, robber barons, corrupt local & state politicians, cops & hired killers, & the federal government & US military for better working conditions for the rest of us so reflect on that today for just a bit while you're doing whatever else.
The original artist is Jeff Grubler. This isnāt the first heās been featured here on Bluesky. If you search his name youāll find more cool shit. Like his website: badtastegoodcause.com
Does it work?
NOOOOOO. Foiled!!!!! You fuckers. Hereās the THEY LIVE version. SHEESH.
Someone put these THEY LIVE animated posters all over LA. GENIUS. Freaking masterpiece. The original artist is Jeff Grubler. He sells great subversive art: badtastegoodcause.com youtube.com/shorts/AS-PD...
I will keep saying it until it happens. Campaigns, especially insurgent campaigns, need to start hiring creative people like Jeff Grubler . This is one of the ways to cut through. The traditional consultant validated pap does not work even when spend millions on it( see Andrew Cuomo).
Impressive to have the stench of both moral foulness and insincerity coming off you, and what the fuck is the BBC doing?
They should hire Newsom's team, it's like they're not even trying, so bad at this.
Next step: make the president think the president is dead.
