"Idiocracy" is an excellent topic for your next movie club podcast. After "Death of Stalin" you might as well do the other film our current reality is based on.

A President's baseless lies can have global consequences. The largest country in the world is being pushed into alliances with Russia and China because of Trump.

So she's upset because the cuts will affect HER. If it only affected others in her community, would she care? This is the problem with our country right now.

Yikes, this is a real thing for sale at Wendy's. Americans are not shaking the obese stereotype anytime soon! 🤦♂️
🚨🚨🚨RFK Jr wanted the CDC director to lie about vaccines and to illegally fire scientific experts who enable the CDC to do their work protecting the public from diseases. Then when she reported this to Senator Cassidy, Trump fired her. Lives will be lost in this country because of RFK Jr and Trump.

This is a must read for every American. @donmoyn.bsky.social summarizes our current situation with alarming clarity.

Actually I'm afraid that too many Americans don't mind that conclusion. Many Americans want authoritarianism. @jvl.bsky.social recently posted this 2016 article which is fascinating and scary... www.politico.com/magazine/sto...

Oh you are right. Trump's DOE made a ruling this summer that NIL payments are not subject to title IX rules that required equal amounts spent on women and men sports. So now they can pay the men as much as they want. Hallelujah! We wouldn't have had college football this year without that change.
Life expectancy in the US began to diverge from other wealthy countries during the Reagan administration. During the pandemic, the split became even wider due to the GOP not following health guidelines and not vaccinating RFK Jr is currently throwing away the technology that saved us
I can't believe I'm asking, but what is the rationale that he "saved college football." I know it's nonsense but really, what are they saying he did?
Makes sense. I always thought of Cadillac as a car for old people!

His voters want a dictator. Been true for a decade now. This article is from 2016... www.politico.com/magazine/sto...

Did you read this, @jvl.bsky.social? This writer makes you seem like an eternal optimist. Unfortunately, I don't see where he is wrong. bsky.app/profile/verm...
It's another sign of dementia. The patient's mind takes them back to 40 or 50 years ago to the long term memories they can recall better. For Trump it's the 80s when people had removable car radios so you could take it with you and not leave it behind. (Yes, Gen Z, that was really a thing.)
Incredible, isn't it? The most corrupt and authoritarian leader in our nation's history and he's doing it all out in the open and freely says what he is doing. And half our nation, along with most of the media shugs and acts like it is normal.
Not good. Two members of the corrupt Supreme Court are warning lower court judges to respect the precedents set by SCOTUS that basically say Trump can do whatever he wants. www.cnn.com/2025/08/25/p...

The press needs to be talking about mental health. Trump displays every symptom of poor mental health - from grandiosity to delusions to tangentiality to derailment to constant swaying (a clear sign of a neurological condition). Forget politics. He needs significant psychiatric and medical treatment
Trump is mentally ill and needs treatment. I say this as a mental health professional who is concerned about a person who appears to be a danger - if not to himself (because he is so closely watched) - then to others
Good report here on the successes Ukraine is having in attacks on the Russian fuel infrastructure. I hope it's a long cold winter in Russia! #SlavaUkraini 🇺🇦
No shit, Joe. We tried to warn you and everyone else. Kamala Harris was right about EVERYTHING... the deportations, the damage to the economy from tariffs, Trump being rolled by Putin, the corruption and authoritarianism. But you 🤡🤡🤡 wouldn't listen because she was a woman or something.

This is an excellent and important article, @clintsmithiii.bsky.social. Also, your book, "How the Word is Passed," was very enlightening to me. I read it after I heard you on a podcast with @timmiller.bsky.social and it taught me a lot that I should have learned in history classes but didn't.

Unreal. We are the laughingstocks of the whole damn world. Just look... at what... is happening here.
No text messages? You can't have texts read to you and dictate a response by voice? (Tesla owner here hoping to switch to the R2 at some point.)
Expansion to 24 or 28 teams?? These people really want to ruin what was once a good thing, don't they? 12 is already about 4 teams too many.
What? What deals???

Great breakdown on the meaning of the discovered summit documents and how Trump viewed the meeting.
"The U.S. has no cards because we’ve been giving them away. If we ever want to play them again, we will have to win them back: Arm Ukraine, expand sanctions, stop the lethal drone swarms, break the Russian economy, and win the war. Then there will be peace." #SlavaUkraini

This is incredibly cruel and comes on the heels of the story of the mother and young child from New Zealand who were sent to detention in Texas. These people are evil.
I will NEVER forgive Trump for releasing these terrorists and the rest of America shouldn't either.

I only made it 1/3 though. I learned that Jason C believes Biden was hostile to business, Trump will balance the budget, and companies will absorb the tariff costs without passing it on to the consumers. Basically I learned Jason C is a moron living in an alternate reality.
@jvl.bsky.social, did you listen to Tim's interview with Jason Calacanis of the All-In podcast today? I'd love to hear your thoughts. Jason thinks Biden was hostile to business, thinks Trump's economy will balance the budget, and thinks the tariff costs will be absorbed by businesses. It was NUTS!
This is really something. Matthew MacWilliams wrote this in January 2016 and concluded the best predictor of whether someone supported Trump was their views on authoritarianism. Amazing article. Thanks to @jvl.bsky.social for sharing this with his readers. www.politico.com/magazine/sto...
Oh my God. Please stop. Can we please have a responsible Governor who has run a state well, please? Is that too much to ask? Why do people want an outsider? When I seek a doctor or other expert for a service, I never ask for an "outsider" who has no experience. 🤦♂️
Here is your scary article of the day. This pioneer of AI says humans need to incorporate a maternal instinct into AI so it will protect us rather than eliminate us. Anyone want to bet our existence on whether Musk, Altman, etc are doing this or only looking at profit? www.cnn.com/2025/08/13/t...
Along with officials who want a masked secret police force rounding up those seeking asylum, and also officials who want to take away assistance to the poorest in the world to give tax breaks to billionaires! It's time for abortion to stop being the ONLY policy Catholics consider when voting.
