lovely
highly, highly recommend this very well done article. Crosses the streams of economics, culture, class, pop culture, media & pr coverage of all that there, even some subtle disability access thrown in. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/o...

Did someone need a baby goat video?? 😊 #bluesky #nature #animals
Ok this is extremely not what happened. Any guesses on the real story?

Also, if Dems ever have control of Congress again, I assume they will compel Rob Manfred to testify about the "deal" he struck with POTUS? Very curious to know how secret deals with the president jibe with MLB's anti-trust exemption.
Cookout spread over at family's. I went burger and cheesy pools #blueskysupperclub
Worked up some black beans for the week. Pressure cooked the beans, then made some onions, garlic, peppers, popped the top and cooked it all down with oregano, cumin, cilantro, vinegar, ketchup. Good stuff #blueskysupperclub
Important to remember the main reason Kennedy got this post was to pay him off for not running for president, more than anything else. The nutjob conspiracy stuff was just a chaotic evil bonus. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Five star Michelin right there with my skewered beef Wellingington with a sweet tomato & vinegar reduction. Eat it pinky up, so darn fancy #blueskysupperclub
I got myself an inside skirt by asking the right questions. Loaded up on ground pork too.

Choose your fighter, farmers market meat section edition
So a disaster but salvaged it and it ate good. Stuffing didnt stay stuff so screw it, go vertical and make it a drizzle. Chicken, goat cheese & herb, a roasted tomato and garlic vinaigrette, beans, and roasted the chicken skins with harissa for some crispy bits #blueskysupperclub

Steve does good work
Lunch at home: Empanadas de platano con picadillo, dumplings made from a half and dough of flour and cooked plantain, stuffed with savory ground meat #BlueskySupperClub #foodsky
Unless otherwise noted, all food is cooked by Steve and photographed by me. He is a fantastically talented cook and is retired aside from teaching a course or two. #BlueskySupperClub
I would eat them in a bowl I would eat them on a roll I love having meatballs all around Why I cook them by the pound #blueskysupperclub
America needs competent officials, but competent officials cannot do their jobs when they are undermined from the top. https://www.theracketnews.com/p/showdown-at-the-cdc-corral
Both Blue Anon and MAGA keep asking why we know so little about Thomas Crooks compared to other mass shooters and attempted assassins. As someone who reported some of what we found out about him early on, it's simply because he had almost no on line footprint compared to the others. To find out/
Long rumored but there it is Another one who, if you watch videos of when she got there and how she is now, not sure you could prove in a court of law its the same person. Changed that much
Reporting from @amelianews.bsky.social Gov Morrisey is correct that WV shouldn't be "just throwing money at individual companies in an ad hoc manner" which we've seen be big splashy headlines at the start and page 12 Bankruptcy 2-3 years later. Enough of that westvirginiawatch.com/2025/08/28/f...

Worked up some sheet pan pizza from a deli wheat dough ball. Basil & roma tomato on one, pepperoni and four cheese on the other #blueskysupperclub
i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.
After a judge agreed to consolidate two separate cases dealing with Gov. Morrisey’s executive order allowing for religious vaccine exemptions and denying a motion to pause proceedings, state school officials are asking the Supreme Court to hit the brakes. www.newsandsentinel.com/news/local-n...
Reading this, Monarez feels like a real Mnuchin/DeJoy: She had no medical experience and was confirmed on a party-line vote, but respected the civil service employees and understood the important work they did.

I didn't believe the RFK Jr. crew for a moment when they claimed to be for health freedom, and I was right.

We all have our sins, but imagine having to stand at judgement and answer for "ruining someone's life just because it showed up on my phone and entertained me" Because there is a whole bunch of people's lives getting ruin just to enterain others on the interwebs right now. Gross
From @hal10000.bsky.social "I am a 53 y/o Jewish man. I am missing a gallbladder, my shoulder is held together by seven tiny screws and if my belly gets any bigger, I will have to register it as a minor planet. I know nothing about K-Pop...I am most definitely not the target audience for KPDH"
From @conservacatgal.bsky.social "A well-meaning friend assured me that “God has someone for everyone.” Technically, this is not true. There are more women than there are men. Men die earlier, & a bunch of young ones die from stupid things like war & car accidents" ordinary-times.com/2025/08/28/f...
Do not approach my house, skip the walk to the front door, come through the garage and start banging on my kitchen door to try to sell me something. That almost went really bad for you, luckily I looked at the camera first God almight have some common sense you fools...

It's like they're dimwitted children who somehow got put in charge of things and are trying to mimic something they saw in a 70s spy thriller.
Be the kind of patriot that can never be snowjobbed, viral video'd, or otherwised coerced into accepting the dark oppression of nationalism just because its star-spangled & tickles your priors in all the places you like Buzzwords & hatred are stupid reasons to surrender freedom

“Trump’s pretense to ownership of public goods and public spaces isn’t some quirk to be ignored or waited out — “there goes our Donald!” — but a direct expression of his autocratic ambitions and despotic cast of mind.”

COMMENTARY: Gov. Morrisey has deployed 300-400 members of West Virginia’s National Guard to Washington, D.C. support the President’s initiative to restore "safety” to the district. Both Charleston and Huntington have higher violent crime rates than Washington, D.C., writes @leannray.bsky.social.

Most striking thing about this clip is not Trump floating the idea of being a dictator (again) and claiming some want that. The most striking thing is his sneering dismissal of the counter argument "freedom." Only modern US president to explicitly oppose freedom. Should be the basis of opposition.
Again, they are feeding Trump the RBOB number and he doesn't know the difference

The Federal Emergency Management Agency could look significantly different by next year’s hurricane season, with state and local governments shouldering more of the responsibility for natural disaster response and recovery, reports @jennifershutt.bsky.social.

Took an evening stroll and lunch was about four meals in one so #blueskysupperclub Cheers! 🍻
7:30pm in Los Angeles and it’s 90 degrees; too hot to cook anything. So dinner is club sandwiches (I did fry some bacon) and store-bought potato salad & pasta salad. #blueskysupperclub

A #BlueskyLullaby for tonight: The composer Irving Fine died on this date in 1962, which is on my mind b/c he was exactly the age I am now. (He was also a grandfather of one of my brilliant colleagues.) This piece may at times remind you of Copland & Bernstein—both friends of Fine's. See you around.
