Today was the day BlueSky finally became Twitter
can’t believe we’re gonna have a First Couch
To be fair to Republicans, even liberals are full of thoughts and prayers tonight.
Mass shooters since 2018 who were transgender — 4. Mass shooters since 2018 who were not transgender — 4,193. Hope that helps.
We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.
I came late to The Wire - binged it all during that first Covid summer (in my defense, didn't have HBO before then) - so I was well aware of the S2 discourse going in... and when I watched it I was like... how can people not see how crucial this is to the story they're telling?
There is no show that really gets quite how boring litigation can be - the 1st season Better Call Saul came the closest. But My Cousin Vinny is a pretty good example of of evidentiary procedure in trial. The Wire was pretty good in its legal scenes as well.
You know what, you can fuck right off. You don't know what I do, don't do, or have done. But I know that you sure as hell haven't changed anything either.
He did everything that he could do... lawfully. He filed suit immediately. Outside of forcing an armed confrontation - which could have turned into a civil war, what exactly would you have had him do?
And I asked *you* by what metric? Because there’s lots of ways to attempt to measure that. Feel free to throw in a citation as well.
1st in the league in what exactly? Because they weren't a good D last year and he played 13 games. I can tell you with an absolute certainty that they were not the #1 defense in those 13 games.
Good, measured take No C. Thanks.
Also, for comparison sakes, the only recent trade of a similar caliber of player was when Khalil Mack was traded in 2018, when the Bears got Mack, a 2nd, and a conditional 5th in exchange for two 1sts, a 3rd and a 6th.
Except - and I'm a *huge* Cowboys fan - the playoffs are exactly where Micah has not shown up. His only career playoff sack came in the rout of TB in Brady's last game, but in two very tight matchups with SF and the rout loss to GB, he had nothing to show for it.
🤦♂️
So if Jerry decides that he doesn’t want to make him the highest paid non-QB because he doesn’t help you win the biggest of big games… I have a hard time arguing that point.
You’re never going to fully replace Parsons… but I watched every single snap of his Cowboys career and everything I said about him was factual. He feasted on bad lines and put up big numbers early in the season, but completely disappeared in December and January *every* season.
While I think Jerry really bungled this from a PR perspective, I don’t hate the ROI. For all the fun times we had with Micah, he had a grand total of 1 playoff sack, and he tended to wear down at the end of the season… every season. Clark is a huge upgrade at our weakest position, we’re deep at DE.
I mean, they drafted an undersized but super twitchy edge rusher just this year… maybe Jerruh always intended to trade Micah?
I’m hearing 2 1sts and Kenny Clark. … that’s actually not bad?
2 first and Kenny Clark for Micah Parsons that’s a deal I make 12 times out of 10
So... this worker (i.e. not a criminal) was targeted by ICE (a federal agency staffed with rejects from other law enforcement agencies) which is kidnapping people with no criminal records and human trafficking them to other countries... and you are blaming Newsom? That's some pretty tortured logic 🤣
Trump announces tariffs on thoughts and prayers.
remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature
Republicans after a mass shooting: “IT’S NOT GUNS!! IT’S MENTAL HEALTH!!” Me: “Okay, lemme see your policy proposals for broadening access to mental health care.” Republicans: “Lol no.”
Your periodic reminder that people who blame “mental illness” for every mass shooting want to make it easier for people to get guns and harder for people to get mental healthcare.
Almost every day there’s a Trump scandal that skates by that in any other moment of presidential history would launch endless follow-up stories, congressional investigations, and sink an administration. I zeroed in on just two of them from this week: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/a-watergat...
But if anyone is just making shit up, it's the OP
Ok
The only explanation for the absurd Dear Leader-style over-the-top lavishing of praise on Trump by his cabinet is a collective awareness that he is nuts. Any decent human in his position would demand they stop. But he is indecent in every respect.
You could easily extrapolate out, based on demand, that there were 100+ million people worldwide who wanted tickets. The vast majority of them could also sing every word to every sing of every album she's put out. But I guess that's not enough for this guy? Sounds like he's a bad reporter.
Those shows sold out instantly once they were announced. (I remember, as a dad of a teen girl, I fought in and survived the Great Ticketmaster Wars of November 2022). The 10+ million people who actually got tickets were just a fraction of the people who wanted them.
The more I think about this post, the stupider it becomes. Taylor Swift just recently finished the biggest tour in history. 149 shows across 5 continents. More than 10 million people attended, and every one of them knows just about every word to every song in all 11 of her albums to date.
He may not have explicitly stated as such, but her certainly inferred it. And it's a fair reading of his post (especially the follow-up one).
Honest question.... have you ever listened to anything she's put out? Because her last album was quite honestly poetry (hence the title). For someone who writes nearly all of her own songs, she is hardly just a "product" to be "marketed".
Yep. Her first 3 albums - presumably what this dude is talking about - are by far her worst work as an artist. (Which is what you would hope to see in a real artist - they should get *better* as they mature and develop their talent, and Swift certainly has).
Like, tens of millions of people can easily do this. You've just stopped paying attention and/or have siloed yourself away from them. But this is a patently silly take.
But states rights everyone!
This sycophancy is just gross.
There’s no reason to wear long pants in the summer unless you absolutely have to for an employment-related reason.
I don’t know if it’s possible, but he’s getting dumber
Happy Mamba Day!
The only respectable thing they could be doing is providing a lot of bad free legal work. Like, assigning a bunch of first year associates with no supervision to do it all.
Apparently you are allowed to trade for DT help if that position on your roster sucks. Can someone tell Jerry please? #cowboys
Me listening to @nathanchubbard.bsky.social and @noraprinciotti.bsky.social on the latest ESA pod detouring into how incredible George Michael was:
Hey look. It’s the worst economy since the last time Trump was in office. Probably just a coincidence
Cool as the other side of the pillow: Wordle 1,522 2/6* 🟩⬜⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
The people who are *still* making a massive deal about having to go to the doctor and get a shot think historians made too big a deal out of **slavery**
Post a non religious photo you think of as holy
Sorta off topic... but *years* ago on the old hellhole site some dude had a long tweet thread about the Remember the Time video and it legitimately was one of the funniest things I ever read.
Otherwise known as False Imprisonment in some jurisdictions.
It’s the single best thing I’ve seen this year (The Pitt was a close second), and it’s the best Star Wars production outside of The Empire Strikes Back. Just a staggeringly good (and scarily prescient) work of art.
That’s… a plan, I guess.
I think it’s high time we take back the national narrative. For centuries Americans of all races, genders, religions, and abilities have worked to create a more perfect union, and we should shout from the rooftops that WE are America. Not these idiot white supremacist authoritarians.
What should the Dems do? Just sit idly by while Republicans cheat and cheat and cheat and just hope that they can win an election one day... if we ever have fair and free elections ever again (no safe bet these days).
Probably 🏴☠️ is your only option
As a gentile who has studied way too much history…. that’s the lesson I took away too.
The most populous and most liberal state in the union has entered the chat.
Been trying to figure out the expression here and it’s when a dog has a grape in its mouth and you have to be like spit it out Ranger, Ranger you can’t have grape, and Ranger is like no I love grape
Imagine if they’d had sandwiches. 🥪
He's truly pathetic. Like a teenager waiting for an out of his league prom date.
Dude is ashamed of his kinks and blames his wife for enabling them? Yikes
"I don't usually call out the National Guard, but when I do it's because of the Epstein files."
Yeah, I was really annoyed at the podcasts. At first I thought he was going to bring them on to spar with the guests, but he when he didn’t do that I just didn’t see the point. Very disappointing. But for whatever reason - selfish ambition or otherwise - at least he’s rising to the occasion now.
I’m sorry, I didn’t realize that I had pulled a Rip Van Winkle and just woke up from a long nap on the eve of the 2028 election. Because that’s the only reason why I would be worried about this (although I vehemently disagree that Newsom is any form of autocrat)
It's what we need for these five minutes. And then we'll see. (Not sure what else you want me to say here?)
I just can't qwhite put my finger on it.
Another apt description of Newsom that I saw on titkok a month or so ago: "Gavin Newsom really, really, really hates homeless people and Republicans. And he's all out of homeless people." Kinda emphasizes the bad/good(?) dichotomy that he brings with him.
I'm trying to figure out the best John Hughes character comp. Maybe a cross between Steff (James Spader) from Pretty in Pink and Andrew (Emilio Estevez) from Breakfast Club?
Best descriptor for Gavin Newsom that I've seen. He might be an a-hole, but he's *our* a-hole
Agreed as too all of it. And I’m ok with that. We need a fighter right now more than anything else , so I’m less interested in ideological purity tests than I am in someone who willing to (figuratively) punch fascists in the mouth.
The LA Times missing the opportunity to call out fascism for what it is for the 1,971st consecutive time.
The LA Times missing the opportunity to call out fascism for what it is for the 1,971st consecutive time.
The fact that man is a *DOJ* employee made me laugh out loud, but also gave me a slight glimmer of hope.
I like Pritzker more... and while I do think Newsom is plenty disingenuous, I also think Newsom is genuine about despising Trump and the pending autocracy.
He's kind of a bastard.... but he's *our* bastard
Reporter: What’s going on with those posts on X that are clearly trolling the president? Newsom: I hope it’s a wake up call for the president. I’m just following his example. If you have issues with what I’m putting out, you sure as hell should have concerns with what he’s putting out
The same Republicans and conservatives who have spent the past few days insisting we don’t mention Jan 6th because ‘it was four years ago!’ have also spent the past few weeks obsessing over the *2016* election and indicting Obama for treason.
Yep.
That’s my bad. I just dislike it because it’s the coldest and wettest month and I rank most months by how enjoyable it is to be outside.
Armed Trump administration agents wearing masks just showed up outside of Gavin Newsom’s press conference. This is what rising fascism looks like.
Senile and Mean Ol' Grandpa Donny is not going to like to hear this.
Costco has never sold it to begin with, maybe you should research something first before randomly posting?
NEW: Governor Newsom will be holding a press conference and rally at 11:30 AM PT tomorrow in Los Angeles regarding redistricting. The announcement is chef's kiss.
Ever since I left Twitter I’ve been missing interacting with random bitter people who just enjoy being assholes for no apparent reason, so thanks for making this place feel more like that one. 🫡
#ThrowbackThursday
I don't know man. On Twitter I spent all day arguing with actual (or at least wannabe) nazis. Here, I've done that maybe once. It's a night and day difference.
Seriously. February is pretty much the worst month. How can it be in the top tier?
Ordinarily I can't stand Massie... but in this situation...
Oh trust me sweetie, I knew exactly what it meant and precisely how I meant to use it. I didn’t even need to double-check the spelling. Perhaps it’s you who doesn’t get the allusion?

You apparently gave enough of one to seek corporeal form solely to hit reply?
I don't know if I'd call myself an OG Swiftie, but I've been one for half a decade now. The only thing I can think of is the Miss Americana doc, but that was a more curated look than her appearance on the NH pod was.
Our new favorite day!
the life of a showgirl? that’s so fetch
Sure. But only because it's funny.
