Should Democrats reach out and try to work with Smaug the Terrible after his recent rift with Sauron over deficit spending? Something to consider.

Praying Mantis, caught in tree resin/amber, 12 million years ago. Poor thing.
Me when I see the sales forecasts
quick someone show them the Mercator projection with BIG Antarctica. It’s the only language they understand.
Fair enough
Seems bad
What reason will no one like?
omfg the alt text game here is oscar-worthy lol
So you’re telling me the people who are convicted Democrats were going to personally confiscate their precious guns didn’t believe Trump would raise tariffs?
3/ They will always put Trump over America. They will always lie. They will always play on your naive good faith. They will always fuck you. America needs a party of fighting Democrats now. Stop talking policy and start saying, "Fuck you." What's that look like?
I’m not attacking you? www.businessinsider.com/nasa-budget-...
How about “I hope you enjoy the pain and suffering you KEEP voting for!”
Brilliant
I support Ukraine kick Russia’s ass
"My son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter died in this house," - Ihor lost his family in Poltava yesterday. Russian missile strike killed 12 people in Poltava yesterday, two of them children. 17 more were injured, four of them children. Deepest condolences... 📹: TSN
There's a reason that I refer to Trumpism as a neo-confederate and Nazi ideology because it literally is just neo-confederate and Nazi ideology. It's an American, eurocentric form of white supremacy.
Now do NASA
I have four now. Going to just go ahead and make a full eight. 🙃
I hate when trump supporters are referred to as “smart and compassionate, but misinformed and feeling forgotten by society.” Bitch, lots of us are forgotten by society. We don't turn around and try to fuck over everyone else out of sheer spite.
the president can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent
they should invent a type of doomscrolling but for filling you with hope and joy instead
In Bebelplatz there is a memorial called the Empty Library, Next to it is a plaque with a quote from Heinrich Heine: "Das war ein Vorspiel nur, dort wo man Bücher verbrennt, verbrennt man am Ende auch Menschen." ("This was but a prelude; where they burn books, they ultimately burn people")
They can override a veto About as likely as impeachment though
De-Nazify shit.
Computers 1995: Let’s print out a big happy birthday banner! 🎉 Computers 2025: Let’s replace all artists with robots
The materials ended up being about $22 (the insulation was left over from blue apron boxes). An 6 gal Octopot costs almost twice that and I can repair and replace any piece with off the shelf retail products so I think that’s a win.
My new hybrid self watering planter prototype is complete 🎉 That said I’ll probably add some more insulation wraps and panda film along the way to keep it cool but it’s basically ready for service. Now to make three more. #gardensky 🌱
Helpful!
🥶🥶🥶
Really tired of being cooped up in the house. I’m ready to start gardening again. Need some flowers blooming. 🌱
What is happening in Washington today is unbelievable. I need to be elsewhere... like here. This is a quiet, secluded place at Lake Istopoga Park on the northern shore of the lake. You can't even hear road noise at this location. #photography #landscapes #LakeIstokpoga #Florida
Psalm 109:8 Let his days be few; and let another take his office. Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow. Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.
It’s so weird that at the inauguration of a guy who regularly quotes the worst phrases of Hitler that someone did a Nazi salute So just out of nowhere, man
Happy Inauguration Day
I tried to lead an interesting life in a boring world but noooo the world had to be "spicy" so now I'm trying to live a boring life in a chaotic world.

The facts are, the ACA saved millions with pre-existing conditions and set standards for care. But now, more than a decade later, with what we now know, it’s time to take the insurance companies out of the mix. The subsidies they get are enormous. We don’t need them as middlemen.
This happens more and more often: You're talking to an adult. You assume a common evolution of reasoning has taken place. Then you realize some people have never moved from concrete operations to abstract thought. The burden of instantaneous recalibration falls on you, because they can't do it.
My heart is broken. Mostly I've been angry lately, but today I'm just very very sad. We are losing everything that makes America great and replacing it with hate and stupidity. The America I know and love will never be the same. I'm so very very sad. This is a tragic loss.
Yaaa I don’t know a lot of the verbs coming up lol
If Russia can invite a foreign nation (N Korea) to kick Ukraine off its territory, why can’t Ukraine invite foreign nation to help kick out Russia?
Great article for those interested in how interest rates and inflation actually work 👍🏼 docs.google.com/document/d/1...
Holly in the snow.
I will always think of Joe Rogan as the guy who made up the litter boxes in school bathrooms story
I’m sick of living through Wikipedia entries.
Last night I fell asleep googling “quiet, silly jobs”
Wait til you see recipe websites
This is beautiful
If you don’t have a local library card, it should be your New Year’s resolution to get one. It’s an easy resolution to keep and you’ll actually use it, trust me.
I do not know who made this but kudos my friend
The NYC Subway is our Pyramids. A great civilizational achievement.
@bzvowell.bsky.social It might not be going well lol
Just asking because we bought that www.brunswick.com/news/press-r...
Could be both
Is that a Fliteboard??
I got lost in Redditville
I would go back to Warren in the first debate that Bloomberg attended That was a holy smack down
What drives Musk is on him; don’t get me involved plz
What did I just watch 😟
That’s so freaking depressing why you gotta be the first thing I see when open this up? Come on man
I feel like there is a missing detail here that makes this make sense
That looks good!
It’s just been extremely consistent. Consumers saying they’re experiencing enormous hardship and spending like they are not.
You have an interesting household
Meanwhile, in Greenland:
To shreds you say?
so if I'm understanding the tech-bro position correctly, it's this

White Christmas White Christmas White Christmas SNOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWW ❄️❄️❄️ 🎄🎄🎄

Ahoy! Also toot toot. And bonk.
just totted up all the substacks I pay for and found myself thinking ‘wow wouldn’t it be better if all these writers were in one place and I could just pay a flat fee’ so anyway that’s how today I invented the concept of the ‘newspaper’
Should have nominated her in 2020, we’d be looking at a second Warren term today
The world's richest man managed to take $190 million away from a *child cancer research center* with his posts yesterday. Funding now stripped in the new bill.
key point. nuclear waste is a problem, but it is not even in the same ball park as fossil fuel pollution. a rounding error by comparison bsky.app/profile/jess...
In his first big flex of power on Capitol Hill, Elon Musk shitposted a bunch of misinformation to kill a bipartisan spending bill that would have averted a government shutdown, threatened reps supporting it, and demanded Congress stop working until Trump is in office. Awesome stuff
If you ask me, this would have been a much better choice for Time’s Person of the Year.
Brutal
Also Taylor Swift!
America seems committed to punching itself in the balls repeatedly 🇺🇸
Happy birthday to me 🍾🎂🥳
Snapdragons are my favorite flower to grow. They do however produce seed pods that look like the screaming skulls of the damned.
