reminder that as trump looks to expand his terror to other cities, shit is still very much going down in LA
You're gonna be judged by the company you keep. If you insist on hanging out at the Nazi bar, people are going to wonder why. Maybe you're just there for the drink specials, but it's still a bad look.
HB 7 has passed the Texas House and is now headed to the Senate. Lawmakers want to take away medication abortion, even though it’s a safe and essential part of health care. Bluebonnets, Whataburger, Buc-ee’s, cowboy boots… and abortion pills. They’re all part of Texas.
And that's why I don't go there, and why I don't think anyone else should either. That place is a right wing propaganda mill at this point. I don't need to be on X any more than I need to be on Truth Social or Gab.
Unless cosmos4u is your alt or something, I didn't say a damn thing about you.
This is the owner of the site. And he directly influences the algorithm on a regular basis. If you think he isn't trying to serve you a specific type of ragebait, you're a gullible fool.
Perhaps not everyone, but the guy you're defending also follows Jesse Singal on this site, so they're just racking up the red flags.
Christ, no wonder he turned out so fucked up.
centrist dem consultants in NYC love to LARP as "Real American Whisperers," meanwhile Midwest dem governors are the ones with a clear-eyed view of fighting fascism
And he actually seems to be able to take direction in WWE and not walk around like he owns the place and pick fights with anyone who doesn't defer to him, so win/win.
Honestly, I think you're right. It was definitely a problem in the short term, but in the long term, AEW is way better off without that guy around.
For the record, since someone clearly didn't figure it out, that includes people who get super weird about blocking. I don't care what you have to say about "silos" and "echo chambers", and the fact that I told you I have boundaries and you immediately tried to convince me not to is a big red flag.
I know trans women are women because abso-fucking-lutely nobody else will listen to us about our problems.
"Blueskyism" is just the latest rhetorical stand-in for a certain class of political commentator to signal that principled progressivism annoys them personally. Previous stand-ins include "woke", "DEI", "critical race theory", and "political correctness"--also all used by the far-right. Curious!
On this note, I’ll never not be grateful to BTE for, among many other things, allowing me to type my own name into GIF searches and getting back fun reaction options.
The "bluesky is dying" stuff won't work with #wrestlesky since AEW fans heard that for years. The fear monger shit don't work with them.
another day another super annoying guy declaring bluesky "dead" because he can't monetize his engagement metrics or whatever the fuck they all care about
One day they will be true. And that day is sooner than you might think.
We will outlive them.
starmer is doing all the anti-immigrant and anti-trans "popularism" stuff the centrists are demanding US dems do and this is the predictable result:
You just gave me some flashbacks.
Late as in "the late"?
So what happened with the 2pm announcement anyway? I kind of assumed I'd see people talking on here about it.
My entire life is dedicated entirely to Not Being Sean McElwee Moreover, ICE must be destroyed
Capitalism has cooked our brains so badly that if a human venture doesn't experience immediate exponential cancer-like growth it's deemed a failure. I call it a good time. I think there's a lot of sour grapes about Bluesky coming from a lot of people with cooked brains who are scared of irrelevance.
It's so weird how Greenwald and Nate Silver and the like—who aren't even here—keep insisting that Bluesky is pro-DNC, when I've yet to see anyone here ever say anything nice about the DNC at all. Also, evaporating? Lol. Bluesky now sends WAY more traffic to @techdirt.com than Twitter *ever* did.
The millionaire CEO who stole a hat from a child at the US Open is, ultimately, indicative of the whole ruling class. This is what we’re up against, a small number of people and a system that will gladly and unapologetically steal from children and from all of us. www.jphilll.com/p/who-steals...
I feel like this thread is just begging for this response. (n.b. Use the OS you like, this is just a joke)
"If you stand up in front of cameras for 15 minutes like J.B. Pritzker did and basically say, 'Stay the hell out of my city, you're not welcome here. And if you hurt my people, I will pursue you until the ends of the earth to hold you accountable,' you look strong because you are strong."
finally, I think the overall attitude on bluesky re: how elected Dems should behave - "give them not one fucking inch" - is a lot closer to what the actual Dem base wants than the Clintonian triangulation the centrists are pushing and most of them can't see that because they find leftists annoying
I think that frankly we could be a bit less trigger-happy with some of the pile-ons - we do not need to, e.g., spend weeks litigating Will Stancil’s view of the state of the economy but I also think that a lot of more centrist types come here looking for a fight, get one, and go “see? I was right!”
These days I really enjoy writing spicy fan fiction about Taylor and Travis! (James Taylor / Travis Bickle)
Then why aren't you calling her Birdetta, you stupid asshole manual writer?
If you’re still on Twitter, today is a great day to quit.
Peter S. Beagle I will love you until the day I die
If you’ve ever worried whether art matters. It does.
With the way things are going in the US, we're all going to be getting medical care from the gray market soon, if we can get it at all. Trans people are merely ahead of the curve.
And the idea that the world is separated into "belief" and "non-belief"? Yeahhhh that's the least Jewish idea in the world, by the way. Judaism is the religion of the Jewish people. But Jews can, are, long have been atheists, agnostics, that's a thing. What matters to us is what you DO.
Notice it just says "The President", no names. It could be newly sworn-in president Vance announcing that Trump has died or been 25th'd.
u deserve a hug.
. @bsky.app just start running this ad on X asap
Seems like most people on here are anti-evil. That's the kind of insular groupthink that loses elections :/
Bluesky growth discourse
[P] I wish this were going to be about what we're all hoping it'd be about, whereas it'll actually be him deploying ICE to neonatal units or appointing the Jigsaw puppet new head of the Dept. of Gothic Revenge (formerly the Dept. of Agriculture)
People call me a neo Nazi just because I espouse Nazi beliefs. How deeply unfair!
Joe Montana, Bo Jackson, Wayne Gretzky... Seriously, we could go on and on.
It frankly boggles my mind that we have invented a computer that cannot do math.
Honestly, I think the key to having a good experience here is block early and block often. The "nuclear block" is a godsend. You block someone, they no longer exist for you. So block anyone who's the least bit skeevy. Of course, I'm way too guilty of not following my own advice at times.
Two people here who are so, so, soooooo close to getting the joke...
allowing Nate Silver to go from "I made a computer that analyses polling data to remove any opinion or bias and predict the outcome of the election on pure quantitative analysis" to "here's my take on this, and fucking everything. literally everything" was one of the great failures of our time
Melmacians have a radically different genital anatomy than humans, all I'm saying.
Yeah... "Shrimp"
every time someone publicly shits on bsky, Alf's hog only becomes more powerful
On Labor Day, enjoy coverage of my union's latest demonstration (you can spot me here and there): lawrencekstimes.com/2025/08/27/u...
Bone-petite!
RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nʌki’wah brother.
God damn, this is sad. He was just so amazing in even the smallest roles.
"Blueskyism" helped make The Onion one of the largest newspapers in the world in less than a year. If we had spent all of our time on Twitter, we'd be poorer, dumber and terminally ill with internet poisoning. He's just angry he's wasting away over there in a nazi agnostic lane that doesn't exist.
I love the smell of consequences in the morning. Thank you, @dragoncon.org
I love how the movie is unabashly proud of the comic lore and doesn't slow down to explain things or reintroduced basic things Interdiminsional imp moment is hilarious
remember when we had a 9/11 death toll a day for like a year straight because of covid. probably not cuz everyone stopped talking about it but its sorta insane to think about right
this man is doing obama-level coalition building and it’s so heartening to see someone out there still trying the shit that actually works
What a scumbag. He built his life on stealing from and exploiting others; of course he thinks nothing of stealing the hat.
Michelle Obama: kids should have healthier school lunches RFK Jr: maybe if we let the plague run wild we can build a master race Media: wow these are the same thing
everyone who is treating unblur like science really needs to look at "white unblurred obama" again
Perfect QOTD for Labor Day
Or Scottie Pippen, Charles Barkley, Dennis Rodman, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Dr. J... Superstar players are nothing new.
Seriously, a couple of months in, my city started allowing takeout drinks just so the bars could do *something*.
What's with these people who insist that bars remained open? They didn't, unless they had outdoor seating. My favorite local closed down permanently because of COVID. Are these people lying, or are their memories that short?
Corbyn: This is Your Party. Me, getting excited: Really? *My* party? This guy after checking my birth certificate: No.
That feed basically pulls out skeets from people who don't skeet often.
People are making speculations about Trump's health because he hasn't been heard or seen for several days--everything from stroke to heart failure. No matter what your politics are, it's wildly inappropriate to speculate that he has a heart.
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.
A Black Tiger, a Dark Patriot... I dig it.
Really strongly recommend everyone get off Substack. Not just for the Nazi stuff, but because they're going to lock you into the platform and then slowly bleed you dry

Personally, I'm not as deeply into the Beatles, so my favorite is rhe somewhat more pedestrian Across the Universe.
Brought this up to my wife, who's a massive Beatles fan, and the first thing out of her mouth was "How dare you make me choose?!" The second thing was Old Brown Shoe.
My break room at work stocks a bunch of different flavors of Monster. That one is my favorite. They also get a Blue Hawaiian flavor that's good (and is different from the regular Blue flavor)
I have good(?) news.
Not as long as this exists.
Be quiet my show is on

The totally cis guy response to "I love you but I'm a lesbian" is "Yeah I also wish I was a woman," right?
Dinosaurs never ate McNuggets AND THEY ALL DIED... probably the most unhinged message to ever grace a pog. (1994)
I love that they had to have a disclaimer in there that this was literally the only photo of him they could find. "We didn't want to run this with a photo that made him look like a weird creep, but our options were limited."
hat that says WOMEN LOVE ME. FISH LOVE ME. MEN LOVE ME. GOD LOVES ME. AND YET I FEEL WRETCHED FOR I ALONE AM CURSED TO HOLD NAUGHT BUT LOATHING FOR MY OWN PERSON, A LOATHING WHICH NO OTHER INDIVIDUAL WILL EVER SHARE, LEAVING ME UTTERLY ALONE. ANYWAY HOW IS WINTER IN MAINE.
I guess if you're in a major city in a blue state, you have to start thinking about how you're going to successfully vote with the actual military attempting to prevent you. Because that's why the military is being moved into cities right now. They're being pre-mobilized to prevent voting.

I want to explain a few things and then it might be clearer why UK trans people are upset. In 2001 I married my wife, Sylvia. In 2005 I started medical transition. (1/13)
never ceases to be funny every time i am reminded that early christianity was a city thing and that some of the main terms that meant "non-christian," like "pagan" and "heathen," literally just meant "country folk"
