“A federal grand jury in Washington declined to indict a woman accused of threatening Trump on social media, another sign of pushback from DC residents over the use of federal law enforcement and deployment of National Guard troops.” This is the 6th time a federal grand jury has refused to indict!!!
Not saying that’s good, or bad, just observing that some sort of parenting is still happening.
TBF in that scenario you’re also outsourcing a lot of “parenting” to your older children. My father was the oldest of 7 and by the time the oldest was able to look after the youngest, my grandmother went out an got a part time job.
MAGA is just chock full of people who look like off brand Batman villains.
People like Jain exist so people who voted Trump-Biden-Trump can blame someone else for their decisions. “Oh, I didn’t mean like that. Why doesn’t JD make Trump stop?”
People are on Twitter because they value money over having principles. That's it. All else is self-deception.
Every time I hear some journo complain about Bluesky it almost always boils down to them not wanting to leave a platform they spent years building a personal brand on. And every time my first thought is “Well we at least know what your price is, and how cheaply you’re willing to sell yourself for.”
Just imagine what is being saved for the book this week.
One problem with being on Twitter is that Elon Musk constantly rejigs the site to push his views. He cannot be sidelined when he owns the underlying system. His manipulation of the Twitter AI to match his views illustrates this point. Via @kateconger.com www.nytimes.com/2025/09/02/t...
It’s a radicalization machine for mediocre white dudes. There. Saved you some time.
and like no, twitter isn't "getting out of your bubble" it's just marinating in bad and often offensive information. "debating" racism, or whatever, on line does nothing but signal racism is a thing worth debating, and not rejecting out of hand
Here's some real talk: Dem strategists urging Dems to avoid the "trap" of talking about Trump occupying cities are saying this precisely in order to get quoted in NYT and elsewhere, and everyone involved in this charade knows it. @jamisonfoser.bsky.social and me: newrepublic.com/article/1998...
Here's the thing - Seeing the kinds of people who are mad at Bluesky makes me like this website more. If you find yourself agreeing with Nate Silver or whoever about internet forum beef, that should give you pause.
They live forever in your memories.
Case in point about the lighter comic tones: Maverick. The terrible Mel Gibson western based on the TV show. Greene plays a buddy of Mel Gibson’s character who’s scamming an Archduke by taking him around America showing him the “real west.”
(Pulls off mask to reveal he’s been Andy Kaufman all along)
The scary headlines about "Chorus, a sEcReT dArK mOnEy gRoUp" have been absolutely wild to watch. Because I'm in Chorus, & it's been a godsend. Without it, I wouldn't be able to cover the US's massive modern-day farm slavery problem- at all. youtu.be/f5UwwtrGdak
If I were this dense I don’t think I’d admit that publicly, but thank you for outing yourself.
bluesky is dying and there's only one way to save it: by putting on a community theater production of the 2003 Val Kilmer movie Wonderland. “Better cancel Christmas motherfkr!”
I only fear one dragon..
COVID was Dems' fault because they acknowledged it. Any societal disruption could've been avoided if only we pretended. First time US media and voting public didn't hold the president responsible for a bad thing on his watch. Even as he messed it up on live TV. Nothing I can think of comes close.
Blueskyism?
When you “both sides” too hard and project yourself all the way back to 2008.
It’s all just an outgrowth of the Republican Southern Strategy. What makes rural Virginia “real” and NOVA not? Equating NOVA to DC is another tell.
That people hear this utter fucking bullshit and go “no need to question this, it’s obviously 100% correct” is one of the reasons we’re here. “AcAdEmIc eLiTeS aRe BoRiNg DoN’T LiStEn To ThEm” it’s terrifying how many grown ass adults have Oppostional Defiance Disorder.
Disc Horse spitting facts.
Democratic senator failing the “Who was POTUS in 2020?” test.
“Won’t anyone think of the conservatives who took Covid as confirmation of their conspiracy theories over the last 30 years, and gave up on democracy as a result?!!”
A funny thing about the press is that the word “elite” has come tor were to “democrats on social media who don’t like me” while billionaire CEOs and high six-figure hosts on prime time news slots are “regular Americans” What’s even funnier is that there are even some online liberals who agree.
“Checkmate Lib! I actually wanted that community note! I am master of all I survey!”
Holy shit. Ain’t that the fucking truth?
Backlash to Mandani from DSA types, or am I just being dense? Sidebar: You see the results of Tarleton vs Army?
Oh, it fucking happened.
And 2 years before that Andrew Cuomo was the future of the Democratic Party.
Just 3 years ago, the biggest brain in politics assured me that Eric Adams had a presidential future.
I mean, look how quickly they turned on Bernie once he started supporting Biden in 2020.
Karl Marx could descend bodily from Communist Heaven and they would be like "how the fuck could the democrat party do this to us" and, i mean, yeah, ok
Oh they’ll make their whole personality about the Green candidate, and then forget they exist the day after the election.
Exactly. Everybody has, but at the time a lot of very wise political knowers were like “We have to fight fire with fire!!” How’d that play out?
And it doesn’t even matter. You won’t vote for Newsom? Ok? So what? The election is 3 years off, and in politics that might as well be a hundred years in the future. Like I keep saying…
The thing is people like the OP are just laying the groundwork for not voting for the Democratic candidate regardless of WHO that candidate turns out to be. “We told you we wouldn’t vote for Newsom so instead you give us this? Unacceptable!” Rinse. Repeat.
at their core, trans rights, abortion rights, and vaccine rights are actually all the same issue: they’re all about bodily autonomy, and the willingness to concede any of them puts the others at risk.
It also leaves the door wide open to vigilantism. It’s easy to call for abolishing the police when, historically, you’ve never had to worry about lynch mobs.
His testimony led to hundreds of people taking a long drop from a short rope. Often for no other reason than not playing ball.
In fact one man, Jonathan Wild, controlled a sizable portion of property crime in and around London in the early 1700’s by not only offering catch the thieves who broke into your house, but by also setting up the robberies to begin with.
Sure, but, as a rule, if someone broke into your house, in 1700, and robbed you blind, the local magistrate wasn’t going to do much about it.
If it was an accident why do they gratuitously establish an alibi?
Imagine you’re in a serious car accident and the first person you contact is your business partner, rather than your kids. Christmas must be a blast around the Giulianni house.
What city is Rudy currently the mayor of exactly?
“We should simply not have cops” Prior to the early 1800’s the Justice System worked like this: Serious crime: Hanging, or banishment. Property crime: Youre on your fucking own. This idea that we’ll all just “vibe” and get along ignores thousands of years of history.
That’s too bad. Anyway, buy the ticket, take the ride.
So a follow harvester blocked me? Kinda sounds like the trash took itself out.
“why wouldn't the host ask her.” Access. This is access journalism.
At this point we have to assume that Sunday morning political shows are just infomercials for the right.

Congrats. You let yourselves get played, and made things worse in the bargain.
It’s amazing how many leftists have made Gaza their personality, but only so far as it can be used against their political enemies. Kind of like how you clowns were real concerned about Tara Reade, until she was no longer useful. It shouldnt be surprising, yet here we are.
Bud, Gaza wasn’t even a top 10 issue with voters in exit polls last fall. Why would the DNC concoct such an elaborate ruse on an issue that doesn’t even motivate American voters?
The word blacked out here isn’t “Zionists”
I’ve seen him do it before. Still banned from PetSmart nationally.
I need him to look like he’s trying to kick heroin, but, somehow, also look “beefy.”
Ahem, Egyptian. I know it doesn’t make any sense! But it’s cannon!
It boggles the mind.
Like the Pharaohs of old!
I’m gonna laugh my dick off if Biden outlasts Trump. Like, I would just yell at Jake Tapper, online, all day.
Speaking of TL credibility.
Taylor Lorenz is so thirsty for professional acceptance she doesn’t think twice about personal debasement.
de omnibus dubitandum est.
Especially in Maine. Which is, functionally, Alabama with Oysters.
My generation deliberately sought out restaurants with mice.
So…..why should a 20 year old represent someone in their 70’s then? Did you think this one all the way through? Of course not. Enjoy your time in the Phantom Zone.
Congratulations. Those are words.
Welcome to the resistance……Narendra Modi?

Online weirdos not beating the accusations anytime soon.
Inspired by this late night gem who mistook me for Cooper Lund.
IT’S THE ONLY THING THAT HAS ANY MEANING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No worries. Such is the curse of social media. Appreciate your work.
Why can't urban libs show more compassion and understanding toward rural conservatives who worship a fascist demagogue because he promises to inflict suffering on people like us
“If Dems want to ever win again they will walk, barefoot, from their urban centers to the furthest small town in their state while wearing a hair shirt.”
More a post of exasperation than anything.
Can you still make provocative satire? Yes. Can you make films or TV shows with exactly the same jokes that worked in 1978 or 1985 or 2004? No, but why would you?
Famously when The Life of Brian came out it inspired no controversy and prominent Christians said it was just a bit of fun, no harm done
Palin couldn’t get it made at the time! He had to get George Harrison to help finance the picture!
Jake Tapper will co-write.
“If there’s an upside to this hellscape we’re currently living through, it’s that we scored a point against the gerontocracy.”
You dipshit. You got me confused with a different account. Fuck AAAALLLLL the way off with projecting your own insecurities on random social media accounts.
