politics, prog rock, history. maybe even in that order. note: no photo, no posts, no description, no follow. I don't make the rules. oh wait, I do. Crypto is a Ponzi scheme. Instablock if you mention it.

He’d put the ‘bitch’ in ‘obituary’
This should be getting far more attention from the media, and it should be investigated as a hate crime. A 14-year-old Black teen was targeted, beaten, and dehumanized with racial slurs by white teens while people stood around cheering. 1/4
I think there may have been something to do with sports two decades ago. Otherwise....nope nope nope.
I've double-checked your calculations and you are 100% correct.
I got suspended from Twitter on election day and was invited to appeal the decision. I opened an account here instead and I've never looked back.
it's what he does best of all
I wouldn't have trusted my child to me and I think I'm in the best position to judge how completely unqualified I was for that position. One time when I arrived, the parents were toking up before going out and they offered me some. I WAS (A) 14 AND (B) LOOKING AFTER THEIR BABY.
speaking as someone who has a 33-34" inch inseam and is a woman, ugh. 30" is all that's offered to us.
Remembering when the NYT went on a weeks-long bender covering a decades-old real estate deal the Clintons were involved in, in which they *lost money*.
A pre-dog-walk 🧵 on the pandemic. To me, the lesson of the pandemic is a very familiar one, although as far as I can tell, no one is talking about it or learning it (which is also familiar). It's about the contrast between America's two political parties.
But it's always like this. Democrats try to do the right thing. They fall short, like humans do. Everyone teams up to shit on them. Republicans don't even bother pretending. They lie, they smear, they destroy lives, they get people killed, & they face NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT.
made 25 cents an hour for babysitting. I was 14 and still can't believe that someone left me in charge of their actual baby. I mean, I didn't have a clue and god knows what I would have done if the kid hadn't been asleep when I got there and never woke up.
or that there are men over the age of 12 who have a 30 inch waist.
more accurately, try finding a bra that fits and doesn't make you want to scream out in discomfort. and then two weeks after you find it the style gets discontinued. like, EVERY TIME.
I do think we have to seriously entertain that possibility
no, if you lived in NYC and paid close attention he was always awful. his policies towards black people (under the pretense of driving down crime) were appalling. My mom knew: bsky.app/profile/emig...
I've been here for nearly a year and no one has called me a leftist bitch yet
and McDonalds has changed its logo a few times
An evil man will burn his own nation to the ground to rule over the ashes. - Sun Tzu
Unions built this city and keep it running. They’ve fought against power and greed to make the impossible possible. Now, they need an ally in City Hall. On Labor Day, the presidents of the Hotel Trades Council, 32BJ and SEIU 1199 make the case at @cityandstateny.bsky.social.
Always and forever.
That was her style.
If only everyone showed as much commitment to opposing evil.
Had. Unfortunately she is no longer with us.
Pure fucking evil. Everyone involved in this shit needs to be held accountable.
Jesus fucking christ. The Trump administration tried to send a bunch of children to Guatemala at 3 am and justified it by saying that the kids just wanted to return to their parents in Guatemala, but the kids actually told the court that they are afraid of being sent back to Guatemala.
Also a good story
Yes.
No, he won the race. But she tried.
She was. And she would have enjoyed being besties with you!
Unfortunately she died a few years later. I miss her a lot.
Yes,but I do have a fine collection of Dala horses.
she was hardcore about that kind of thing
so....NO CONCENTRATION CAMPS IN AMERICA!!
thank you for your vote! My paternal grandparents emigrated here from Sweden a century ago. so from one (two generations removed) Swede to another, thanks again!
she had her faults but she knew a creep when she saw one
she was for sure
yes, she was great
She was born in NJ but grew up in Queens Village so DAMN RIGHT
yeah, I miss her so much
I miss her a lot
it was a badass move
I was proud
My favorite Rudy Giuliani story is that my mother, who loathed the man, was moving from Queens to Long Island in 1997 but delayed her move until after the election so she could vote against Giuliani one last time. It's more a story about my mom, but I thought that was just wonderful.
Gandalf's humanity is what makes him interesting.
He’s providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
"Absolutely not" is what Noem actually means.
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."
Pritzker: "We don't want troops on the streets of American cities. That's un-American and frankly the president ought to know better. This one doesn't seem to. He hasn't read any books. He doesn't seem to understand the Constitution or the laws."
JB Pritzker uses the word "invasion" to describe what Trump has planned for my city, Chicago. And that's exactly what it would be – an autocratic government trying to crush our dissent because we oppose his corruption, cruelty and incompetence. It's what dictators do.
Let's also remember that hundreds of thousands of Americans died before we had the vaccine.
not just that he has no constitutional authority, there isn't even any particular legal or institutional mechanism by which the president can make anyone treat this as anything other than a weird advisory opinion.
If he thinks a few transgender people out of several thousand murderers is "a common denominator," wait until he hears how many of them were using automatic weapons.
"Americans will die because one man foolishly doesn’t believe in vaccines... As Trump & Company continue to try to control what information gets to the American people, it is imperative that independent media do everything they can to keep reporting and that you keep listening and reading."
or maybe they know they don't have to go to all the bother and effort of raising money and running a reelection campaign if they're going to be in power for a few more decades anyway but mostly I agree with you on this
oh, what could have been
It's so smart of the UK, France, Belgium, Japan, Germany, Korea, Italy, Spain, Norway, Sweden, the Netherlands, Poland, Greece, Australia, New Zeeland, Austria, Canada, et al to ban video games entirely and therefore totally escape the scourge of gun violence oh wait
It didn't work for both Bushes, at the end of their presidencies, Romney, or McCain. It didn't work for Trump in 2020. So I still think that this has something to do with the very peculiar hold Trump has on the party.
again, disagree. but I do think we will find out soon enough.
I disagree. We find him repulsive both physically and mentally so it's hard to understand, but the people who adore him do it not just because he confirms their prejudices but also because they find him attractive in many ways. I think it's a mistake not to recognize that adulation.
Hardly salvation but Vance, possessing no charisma, commands zero personal loyalty from GOP politicians and is never likely to expand his base beyond 10% of die-hard MAGAts. So he'll have much less power to do awful things. I can't see anyone cancelling an election for him.
no, THESE TWO.
May? It certainly has.
I always have to write "consciousness" multiple times and even then I only know it's correct when no wavy red line appears under it. Don't even start on "embarrassment". Yes, I did have to look it up. I always do.
Trashing the women running against him was part of the NY Times campaign to elevate Trump.
oh, we all know how major the role the NYTimes played. it's engraved on our memories. (1)
Jones: I want to bring theology into this because you have all these people that want to give thoughts and prayers. But I was a minister, and that is a form of theological malpractice—when you pray for something you have the power to change.
I was very happy living in the Netherlands, but there were times when I just wanted a big fat hamburger and fries.
I used to live there, so it was super special for me, recognizing all the old familiar places. There was actually an American burger joint there that I used to go to occasionally, although it was not quite that over the top.
I remember how grateful my mother was for the polio vaccine for her children, as she grew up in the 30s and 40s before it was available, when polio was the terror of parents.
I'm old enough to remember when parents wanted to keep their kids alive and healthy. I remember the excitement over the polio vaccine. I remember being given that sugar cube with the red drop of vaccine.
I really hope this becomes the black eye it deserves to be www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
what does Cleaver propose instead? Just handing the country over to Trump and MAGA without a fight?
Thiel’s mistake in picking someone to take over a fascistic cult of personality is that he picked someone with an annoying personality who is a black hole of charisma. The base will not be walking around with JD Vance t-shirts on or photoshopping his head on Rocky
remind me how the investigation into Hegseth's compromise of national security is going
Between this and the Joni Ernst retirement, Friday is shaping up to be more fun than I expected
Joni Ernst not running for reelection?
it's far, far too late
yes, we all did indeed see that coming
Thinking of the Minneapolis school shooting victims today. What makes this even harder to take is knowing that we do not have to live this way. It's a policy choice. As long as politicians in DC & Columbus prioritize the gun lobby over people – these horrific events will continue.
@darthbluesky.bsky.social this you?
except that 1930s Germany had reasons. They were crap reasons, but they were reasons.
yeah, I'm going with Krugman's analysis on this one
"The darkness first takes our children who then kill our children, using the guns that are easier to obtain than aspirin. We sacralize death's instruments and then are surprised that death uses them." - Bishop Daniel Flores of Brownsville, TX
maybe *before* the Senate confirmation was a good time for Cassidy to break with RFK Jr. over his complete lack of qualifications and obvious desire to kill people because *after* isn't doing us a whole lot of good
oh yeah, that's going to end soooooo well
except gas isn't cheap
