Don't read the Times. Read my thread instead. bsky.app/profile/bear...
I don't know what the deal with the president is, but I hope he's receiving the best medical treatments RFKjr can think of.
J.B. Pritzker is 100% right. Please listen to him, pay attention, and join us in speaking out against authoritarianism and to protect free and fair elections.

Why, did he hear there were trans people in them?
Earlier today I was thinking about how seeing Jaws in IMAX would fix me. I was right.
It's his time.
i am far from an alarmist but i have been operating under this assumption since he won. it’s why i thought that he should have been asked, at some point, whether he intended to leave office on january 20, 2029.
The lesson of the Trump Era is that there is no such thing as an overreaction. A lesson, of course, no one will learn.
I spent way too much time wondering if anyone would have the guts to ignore illegal laws and not enough time thinking about what if they don't even have to pass laws to make everybody fall in line?
We are the toughest, most tactical, manliest men to ever live on planet earth and if you so much as change one tiny design element on that restaurant logo we are gonna FREAK OUT.
For me it's "They DYED me this color." RIP Ossie Davis.
Confirmed.
I'm afraid I can't do that, Dave.
Still working on my list: Women I Would Listen to Before I Would Listen to James Carville. Started 12 hours ago.
Anyway let's get back to the main issue which is that the people occupying us and detaining us, the people who want us dead, are paying too much for groceries.
Imagine a Democratic president sending the marines to occupy a majority Republican city or area. Imagine the military obeying those orders. Would never happen.
Imagine Democratic governors sending their national guard the occupy a majority Republican area. Imagine the national guard going along with that.
Imagine a majority Democratic legislature detaining and holding one single Republican legislator captive. Now imagine law enforcement in that state cooperating and agreeing to enforce it. Never happen.
why do you say this to him when you know that he will kill you for it???
Your children will always remember music memories. Like today, mine learned about how Warren G and Nate Dogg had to regulate.
When will the military occupation of U.S. cities stop? I don't know, but I predict not before November 3, 2026.
I feel like there's a technical term for when one territory of a nation-state sends soldiers to occupy another territory of the same nation-state.
For a faction that claims to despise cultural theory, they sure do a lot to validate radical readings of modern mass culture.
Kneel before him.

It takes historically low skill levels to be this visually owned by someone you physically tower over.
August you just try to get through somehow. Every year.
the biggest deals, so many deals
Slowly dawning me in our New American Order that saying things like "January 6 was an insurrection" or "Teslas may as well have swastikas on their sides" or "Donald Trump was a corrupt racist pedophile" will have me sounding like Dale Gribble for the rest of my life.
Who's been correct more often the last 10 years than Constitutional law professors?
I've thought a lot about it, and what would fix everything is [stuff that could never happen even if there are elections and Democrats win them all for the next 20 years].
Zombie William Seward, arise.
Sure, fine, why not. Nobody could distinguish an AI hallucination from a Roberts Court constitutional interpretation anyway.
Only I know the difference between Distractions and Real Issues and you will only find out via my Patreon.
I find the dildo thing pretty appalling so I wrote a bit about why
wake up, get informed/depressed
Been feeling so relieved since Epstein brought Trump down. Now we can finally put that ugly period behind us and get back to normal.
@shutdownfullcast.bsky.social The comments in the recent podcast business announcement about avoiding AI and gambling money sounded like they were written just for me. Had no choice but to pledge 4 monthly dollars to y'all in perpetuity. Huzzah!
Where would he have gotten an idea like that?
Let me guess. The delivery system will be Flavor Aid.
The president can't declare himself a king. In our system of checks and balances, only the courts can declare the president a king.
I don't practice religion or astrology, but I do believe in patting my car on the hood and thanking it after a successful road trip.
There's no Genghis Khan of anarcho-syndicalism. And that's a problem.
Just once I'd like to get on a horse, tell someone "I'll see you in hell," yell "H'yah!" and ride off into a bleeding sunset.
I don't know what "the Sydney Sweeney thing" is and I'll unplug the internet if anyone tells me.
Our finest thespian strikes again.
I wonder why politicians, private corporations, and rich people are all-in on a new technology that's already diminishing people's critical thinking and problem solving skills.
No doubt Dwayne is the biggest mainstream crossover star. I was thinking more biggest star internal to the sport. Hell, Hogan is probably still the correct answer but I wanted to have a little fun at his expense.
I don't know why we're still trying to find the Joe Rogan of the left when Superman said kindness is punk rock and won the summer.
Pray you don't hear breaking glass.
Mainstream outlets and pundits lauding Hulk Hogan as wrestling's "greatest star" should know that Stone Cold Steve Austin can hear you.
Let me know if you find out? Please and thank you.
1997 is... [checks notes] ...before 2016. It is currently 2025.

Finally got his ass.
If only Macho Man had lived to see this day.
Ozzy. The Hulkster. 80s icons are dropping like flies. Protect Mr. T at all costs.
He survives another one.

In the midst of Trump battling his base over his handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case, the State Department gutted its office dedicated to combating human trafficking. State officials said the cuts targeted "outdated" and "parochial interests." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Every time I see the cursed phrase "toxic empathy" I'm punched in the gut all over again at how upside down shit is.
It's dad's night out and you know I'm ready to party because I took a Tums.
Was at a gathering last night with people who'd all brought something from their state of residence to contribute. The guy from Kentucky brought bourbon. The lady from Minnesota made a quintessential hot dish. As the Texas representative, I brought an app that tracks everyone's periods.
The response to the Supreme Court declaring Trump a king is to...play softball with the court subjects.
Elected congressional Democrats will never choose their supporters over their fascist colleagues.
Pat McAfee sucks so much he should be announcing Supreme Court decisions.
There's nothing you could put after "Supreme Court Allows Trump..." that would surprise me. "Supreme Court Allows Trump Puppy Murder Plan to Move Forward." Yep, I'd say that sounds like the Supreme Court to me.
Ask your doctor if Cialis is right for you.
He thinks he's Sipowicz with that short-sleeved button down smh
We're expected to "turn down the temperature" while John Roberts is allowed to burn down the republic.
Credit where it's due. Tim Robinson has done it again.
Everybody should write a little everyday with a pencil/pen and paper in a notebook just for you. A few lines about the sunset. A description of a bird. A mundane to-do list with the occasional insane aside.
Once upon a time a bad president responded to a big flood by saying the FEMA guy was doing "a heckuva job" and it was a scandal for weeks.
I went to the movies in a small town that used to be bigger. It had a classic old-school theater. As I reminisced about the romance of small towns that have seen better times, the movie previews started with an ad for a depression hotline followed by an ad for a rehab center.
I enjoyed the film about the Kryptonian refugee.
You wanna have hope in people, but then news breaks that people are out here fucking Ken Paxton.
too lickspittle too late
Twitter is for nazis. If you're still on there, you may as well be working for the vice president's office.
"Hey, sorry your daughter died but we'll get 'em next year, team." You can totally see the charisma and charm that's made this guy Texas governor for 73 years.
Poisoned fruit, nazi robots, an evil king. We live in THE FUTURE.
Something tells me that the monsters who murdered USAID and assassinated the National Weather Service aren't to be trusted with the produce.
Texas is a corrupt one-party state. The scumbag Republicans who run it constantly take credit when people and business move to [the most progressive counties in] the state, but start pointing fingers at everyone else when children die.
Shit, man, their king can't even spell SAT.
Third party? More like turd party sent skeet
I went to an "America Party" once. I had to show 2 forms of ID to get in, download an app to order food, and pay $400 for an aspirin.
Nobody who can avoid it should come and everybody who is able should leave.
celebrating your birthday by creating concentration camps and a gestapo
"It's arrogance!" "It's cowardice!" "It's access!" No! They like what's happening and crave more.
Technically its problem is that it supports fascism, worships Donald Trump, and wants him to succeed.
Sorry. I don't consider MINORITY STUDENT REJECTED BY COLUMBIA news, exactly.
I guess it's the season but I initially read "AI-Hallucinated Coleslaw"
I don't know where exactly to place the line between "tacitly complicit" and "fascist rag," but I do know the New York Times is looking back at it.
