Pritzker: When did we become a country where it's okay for the president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything, especially something we don't want? Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?
Pritzker: "I refuse to pretend that any of this is normal ... I refuse to fall into the pundit trap that demands we sacrifice vital constitutional rights if it's being done in the fake guise of fighting crime."
Me during a Cody Rhodes match
This hits harder than when I saw this movie the first time. #CaptainAmerica
It turns out the answer to “why is Mayor Bowser doing this” is “because she wants to.”
"bluesky is dying" that's cool man. i go on here to make funny posts with my friends
Brandy:
we’re about to see a second wave of teen reddit atheism the world has never seen before
tbh i'm deeply amused how we went from accusations of welfare queen stuff in the 70s/80s to this
That's why it was easy for me to leave "60k followers." Because none of them saw my posts unless i actively tried to be controversial.
while we're at it let's talk about how hysteria around declining birth rates always frames the crisis in any which way besides blaming capitalism
I'm back baby. I got suspended for 24 hours for telling the New York Times, an account that is not a person, to "jump up their own ass and die"
You don’t find “common ground” with fascists. You build power to defeat them. This is the main reason why I believe fascism at the Federal level in the US will last generations.
Isn’t it insane we live in a country ran by people freaking out about birth rates but refuse to do anything to make the idea of having the kid more enticing like maybe actually helping parents
maybe stop voting for people who would have a stroke if you even suggested doing this here
Well, first of all, those people are white.
aye they pumped buddy full of compound V lmaooo
They're nailing his hair to his head like the Pinhead origin sequence from Hellbound: Hellraiser II
It just sucks because I really do love hip hop with all my soul But damn man
I just try to balance it out by also listening to more underground and radical hip hop too
The way hip hop was used to convince us to worship money and capitalism was so obvious shit just hurts to see it And I’m not saying I’m better than that, I listen to mainstream rap all the time despite my political leanings because sometimes the music just bumps, but it still sucks
a few decades ago if a rapper was seen on TV with a republican president that would be the end of their musical career now Nelly and Snoop can publicly support a president who cost thousands of black women their jobs and people excuse it with “hey they got paid”
Shiny suit era was probably the worst thing to happen to hip hop, all that shit de-radicalized the black community and now everyone is overly individualized and worried about getting the bag, doesn’t matter what u gotta to to get the bag just get it
I often have a love/hate relationship with hip hop and it’s often difficult to critique it without coming off as a 🦝 or an unc but it is very obvious how the record industry suppresses artists with a radical message in favor of pro capitalist records about getting paper
nigga doing an interview with bobbi althoff he really don’t get it lol
Today's newsletter is about the bad ABC News article.
'bluesky is dying' has the same exact feel to me as 'aew is dying' lol
They do this with my P.O. Box damn near weekly.
Idk what’s going on with USPS lately but twice in a row they’ve delivered my package to the wrong address
That’s fine I’m a proud Chris Brown hater, we should all hate that scumbag
while his fans simultaneously tell us that he's being blackballed
the music isn’t even that good, I’ll never get it
(I can) but I can’t believe people went to go see Chris brown in DROVES this summer. It’s kinda wild how he’s been able to move unscathed for years
I'm just going to keep noting that the owner and operator of Twitter -- the social media that too many politicians and pundits use to determine what's "normal" -- keeps on pushing the white supremacist Great Replacement Theory that has been the motivation for multiple mass shootings in this country.
DC MUSIC FESTIVAL HAPPENING NOW 9/1
Finally.
nate silver calling this place insignificant is the final proof it has the juice and will win the presidency
A once in a lifetime movie star.
pay attention to people who can do things and know what they're talking about, like @treblaw.bsky.social and that account that tracks how much piss is in the ISS piss tank
social media's flat but it doesn't have to be, put yourself on a mountaintop and thrive because shit doesn't roll uphill
we made the mistake of responding to people just because they said a lot of stuff on social media quickly without first thinking "do they suck,' and "are they matt yglesias" and "why do I even know who that is"
hey man I don't give a shit what Nate Silver says
all white liberals do is be comfy in the privilege afforded to them by conservatism & fascism and tell themselves with stickers and signs that they're the bffs of oppressed people.

“Folks you know what’s actually big and beautiful? Prison abolitionism, many people are saying this and saying I, your favorite president SHOULD DO IT”
What if they not letting Trump speak because he had a Reverse Fetterman Stroke and hes woke now
This is one of the most explicit examples you'll ever see of "the people who annoy me the most, personally, also happen to be the nation's biggest political problem." The quintessential reactionary centrist maneuver.
it’s really funny when these guys try to make the fact that no one likes them sound intellectual

I called this segregationist way back in February: www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...
this is how those democratic influencers be acting in those response videos
BlueSky elder here! He was on here years ago on BlueSky, began promoting Democrats to dump LGBTQ+ to win elections during the Biden presidency, and he got dogpiled for it by his fellow Gays and all other Queer folk too. He has hated this place ever since cause his community hated and shunned him.
"It is important for the left not to support leftist causes or policies in order for the left to be electorally viable. The left instead needs to be the middle-ish right cause history shows how well that gambit has served its aims." A claim so tired it needs a prince to kiss it awake.
Genuinely perplexed, is this guy even on here?
"Blueskyism" helped the Mississippi Free Press overcome algorithmic suppression on other platforms (Facebook, Threads) and ride out plummeting engagement on Twitter following Musk's X takeover. Thank God we took our eggs out of the X basket when we did.
cishet abled white guy melting down over “how awful this place is” because at-risk folks said, “don’t demand people prepare to sacrifice us today because of a half baked idea of what political expediency looks like in a future we may not make it to” makes me so violently angry i’m queasy.
"Extended family" is English for "network of people disappointed in you."
Lots of dudes constantly look for approval from other dudes. Many seek out men’s approval far more than the approval of women. A woman clowning a dude’s height might sting and roll off, but when tall men mock short men, that’s gotta hit different. 🤷🏾♀️
A lot of yall would be like “hey im no fan of Thanos, but chopping his head off is superhero brutality, pretty disappointed in the avengers right now”
the next guy should be even older
becky lynch vs cm punk in mk3
padding his resume is actually the most relatable thing Adams has ever done
It feels like Mamdani is running for mayor against three competing Tim & Eric sketches
It's important to know, if you don't already, that Bill Maher is a dumb bag of shit
"Blueskyism" helped make The Onion one of the largest newspapers in the world in less than a year. If we had spent all of our time on Twitter, we'd be poorer, dumber and terminally ill with internet poisoning. He's just angry he's wasting away over there in a nazi agnostic lane that doesn't exist.
Refuse to be called woke by someone who talks like a Harry Potter side character having a stroke. “Noshing on a poncy porous plimsoll?” Go to a hospital.
I think he ate one of those radioactive wal mart shrimp and they just don’t wanna tell us
Okay. I just came back to this and you aren’t calling these efforts resegregation yet, you absolutely should be
Words don't mean anything anymore, a certain segment of people will just say stuff because it sounds cool and biting in their childlike brains.
At one point, I remember being naive enough to think that the undeniable effectiveness of the COVID vaccines at preventing serious illness and death would surely be the end of the anti-vax movement. Obviously, I could not have been more wrong.
Even Donald Trump, who launched Operation Warp Speed in his first term, has had to bow to the demands of his conspiracist base, giving his crank HHS secretary free rein to turn his deranged anti-science, anti-vaccine crusade into national health policy.
What was once a fringe position, on both the left and the right, has become enshrined, within just the past few years, as a core conservative belief.
I think many people like me, people living in liberal enclaves, have not fully grappled with the extent to which the anti-vaxxers are winning the battle. Because, much as I hate to admit it, they are very clearly winning.
How bad do you think it angers Vince that he’s gone and WWE finally has the fan base that he always truly wanted?
Thirty-two (32).
Jesus fucking christ. The Trump administration tried to send a bunch of children to Guatemala at 3 am and justified it by saying that the kids just wanted to return to their parents in Guatemala, but the kids actually told the court that they are afraid of being sent back to Guatemala.
Why’s he wearing a Michael Myers mask
This year Zayn has lost singles matches to Drew McIntyre, CM Punk, Kevin Owens, Randy Orton, Bron Breakker, and Karrion Kross. The last of these was last month. A four match winning streak is only Hogan booking in the minds of the absolutely ignorant or absolutely dishonest.
They also seem utterly convinced that talent control their booking 100%
Look ive started to see toni hogan stuff so I think we may just be cooked as a society
I would read a whole series of reports like this on each individual federal goon. They all deserve a profile.
it’s so cool that we had 2 incredibly unwell, close to death presidents in a row
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
Michael Jordan notoriously had no one wearing his gear on the road. There were no road Kobe fans 10 years ago. Dr J definitely didn't have ANY fans outside of Philadelphia. Mark Cuban is wealthy and we have decided that means his opinions have more validity. That's the biggest problem,
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*.
…you mean foreshadowing?????

6’ with a 5’4 wingspan is nasty work.
Everyone’s yelling “Bluesky is dying.” But I don’t want another Instagram or Twitter. I like that this feels like ours. I live in a big city already and those apps feel like cities too. I want the hood!
