Weaponizing their father's love against them. Smart kid, they'll do alright.

I'm happy that some of @drewmagary.bsky.social's best writing isn't lost. www.gawkerarchives.com/5968807/down...
Okay, this was funny.
Right on. I hope they bring in Colleen Wing as well.
Jesus Christ, here's hoping.
You look pretty good, dude.
I've got an 18-year-old gal over here. Real dumb, but very sweet.
My man.
My experience on BlueSky went from "Dammit, Tom is one of my top tier follows; why do I never see his posts?" to "All I see is Tom fighting with randoms now." I won't lie, I kind of miss the cat pictures, video game musings, and article links. We all have to decompress somehow, though.
I'm open to this.
This is a good message. I hope a lot of people hear it. This is a big tent. Give me the Bulwark former Republicans willing to support any Democrat and Communists willing to support a billionaire.
My wife gave me a little Peruvian pepper she grew today and I immediately knew I was fucked. I was once a man.
I used to be like you. Then I got old and developed miserable acid reflux. The only medicine that works is like $750 for 3m, so I have to jump through hoops to get it from Canada outside of insurance. My pepperhead days are over.
I'm super interested to see how my extended family members, who have made hating Andrew Cuomo their entire personalities, are going to react to this.
Man, people who never learned how to be in proximity with minor irritations end up putting themselves in mountainous debt by buying 4 acre compounds as far from civilization as feasible and angrily voting to screw literally everyone else. It should be treated as a personality defect.
I don't hate it. I'll forever and always been a Warren Democrat and I generally like Pete, but man, I think Pritzker's going to be my guy.
It’s pretty simple: - AI is driving electricity demand up - The Trump Administration is restricting new electricity supply from being built - When demand goes up and supply goes down, you pay more for electricity.
It's just a culture war shibboleth. If not this, it would be something else.
If there is going to be protest songs, they're probably going to come out of the rap/hip-hop genres. But man, things are so fragmented culturally, unless it's a really big name, someone like me would never know about it. I was never a punk guy, but the time seems pretty good for a punk revival.
@knicke.bsky.social would take some if you have more than you want.
My family from Canton OH are here at the moment and as I was reading this, they basically did the Leo pointing meme.
I fucking LOVED the Silver Surfer scene. It was so goddamn cool.
Kinja did nothing wrong!
Damn it, man.
Some of us like our Star Trek to take place on the bridge of what appears to be a Holiday Inn.
When you get @radiofreetom.bsky.social talking about Star Trek TNG, he starts burning credibility at just south of the "I added a journalist to my secret war group text" rate.
20 years ago, I slept under a hotel desk using my shoes as a pillow. My, how the tables have turned.
The Mennonites, forgotten once again.
To sleep well, I need: 1. Cooling bamboo pillow for my head 2. Dense buckwheat hull pillow for between my legs 3. 3rd pillow to spoon (side sleeper, wide shoulders) 4. A headboard against which I can control the density of pillow #1. 5. Sub 68 degree temp 6. A breeze I don't think camping is in me.
Extreme minority opinion here, but I never had any issue with Kinja. My only issue is that I'm not very funny, so I rarely made it out of the greys, but thst my problem, not Kinja's.
Hulk is finally back together with Dick Derringer.
He is my favorite Star Trek character and he was so since the TNG days. I love me an Irish grump.
@infinitescream.bsky.social, your services are needed.
I once saw someone on Reddit compare listening to @radiofreetom.bsky.social to therapy for people with conservative dads who we desperately hoped would see the light as the GOP fell to evil, but never did. Probably more than a little accurate. Tom is my favorite podcast guest. Always a delight.
Bluesky really Twittered that function, it seems.
I am so very much hoping that it is a parody/gimmick account... AND the news is real.
I'm very curious to know if @jvl.bsky.social is aware of the Bulwark/Behind the Bastards potential crossover discussion happening on the BTB reddit! www.reddit.com/r/behindtheb...
The anti-billionaire elements make me actually want to watch this. Do you think this movie would be more or less enjoyable if you completely ignore/forget about/didn't watch every post-1993 Jurassic Park?
Let he who is without sin casted the first stone, Derek.
Agreed. I love the character. Are we actually ever going to see him again?
Man, I heard the movie was bad, but I certainly can't argue with any of that.
Hard to take seriously the red-white-and-blue rhetoric of freedom on a 4th of July where the US president has cut off aid to a democracy fighting for its independence against ferocious attack by a foreign tyrant.
We're going to need Nuremberg trials when this is over, yes, and to send a significant number of people currently in the federal government to prison. But we're going to need an unwavering commitment to ostracizing the supporters of it, as well. Never accept them again in polite society.
Sorry.
The nice thing about being a woman is not being a man. The bad thing about being a woman is, ironically, usually men.
Question: does it make America great again to deport a guy who’s willing to run into the ocean where a shark is prowling to save a child and chase away the shark?
The Democrats will not have a senate majority ever again. If we even get close, we'll have people like Lieberman, Sinema, and Fetterman who fuck us. There is no undoing this.
Man, still my favorite site.
Actually mayoral candidates don't have to answer to politicians in Congress, and maybe if our Congressional reps would focus on fighting the Trump Administration, their nominees, and their bootlickers among the Congressional GOP their voters wouldn't be so fucking mad at them.
You certainly have a type.
What the court has now said is that Trump could now start rounding up people without due process, throwing them into concentration camps and executing them and only those with the means and opportunity to sue could defend their rights under the Constitution, one by one, individual case by case.
"Stop, I can only get so erect!"
Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far: A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.
not sure there's a more embarrassing profession than ICE agent. Oh, you dress like a soldier to abduct sous chefs and throw flashbangs at protesters? Get a real job you loser
This, 100%.
clearing my schedule this afternoon to switch back and forth between their social media accounts like I’m watching history’s stupidest game of tennis
A FFT Remake/Remaster is one of my white whales. The other is remakes of Fallout 1 and 2 in a Fallout 3+ engine. I know, sacrilege. But I want what I want and that's what I want.
"My politics is cobbled together from ruling-class propaganda and a desire to feel like a hero for killing marginalized, impoverished, and dehumanized people" -- statements dreamt up by people who fundamentally do not believe in the concept of society
Americans need to learn a thing or two from the democracies where there is social stigma around being an uninformed moron
Aside from everything else that's wrong with Trump and with this specific fantasy, it's amazing to me how often Trump's bluster takes the form of "I, a second-term president of the United States, was bamboozled and hoodwinked yet again."

Did you watch the WrestleMania IX documentary that came out this year? It was fantastic.
This is great. Evil genius is still genius.
This, this, this! I implore people to stop using terms like "walkability" and "urbanism" because they are radioactive to the types of people they we need to convince. Talk about Normal Rockwell or Thomas Kincaid paintings of old fashioned main streets. That's a winning reference point.
I watched it for the first time a few weeks ago. It's fine.
A long long time ago, in a far away galaxy... the US used to tax the rich
Every word of this is correct.
Briefly breaking my own rule. As someone who lives rent-free in weirdos' heads on platforms I'll never visit, "Who Are You?" was a very satisfying episode.
Man, once you see a cop get bricked in the face with a brick made from the ashes of Fiona Shaw, you don't go back.
@iwriteok.bsky.social, my man.
@iwriteok.bsky.social, we're going to need the rest of the Andor reviews, my man. The world is going to shit; I want to hear people I like talking about things I like.
I'm really delighted that the answer is that one of the very first plot points from the very first Star Wars anything is him being on Alderaan and I'm just old and forgot. Time humbles us all.
My man.
Hey @infinata.bsky.social, was there ever any in-universe canonization of Bail Organa being on Alderaan when it was destroyed? It just seems much more likely that he would have been on Coruscant.
And good people have good names like Savage Opress.
A-Wings are the connoisseurs of the Rebel fleet. jadeempire.fandom.com/wiki/Thousan... I have always been like this.
I am trying to think of a witty comeback, but I am SEETHING.
He only went with you because there wasn't an A-Wing pilot around.
America's national bird should be a canary in a coal mine.
Man, it wasn't until I was in my 30s that I went into a non-Catholic Church and it blew my mind. No kneelers? Padded seats? No overwhelming and foreboding crucified Jesus looming over you? It's like they wanted you to actually come in and have a good time. That was new to me!
I think the case could be made that our language is for very broken English. Misspellings and all.
Is this... is this a tiny chainsaw?
I cannot believe this dipshit is still making news. I swear, the only reason anyone gives him any attention is because he is the right wing's favorite left winger (he's actually the world's most annoying libertarian pain in the ass).
Elon Musk has cut somewhere between 0% and 3% of what he promised—and most of what was cut was not waste or fraud or abuse, but simply expenditures Mr. Musk did not personally favor for partisan reasons. DOGE is the biggest program failure in the history of American government.
@jasonschreier.bsky.social did you guys ever discuss The Banner Saga games on the old podcast? I'm going through a real "I want to listen to people I like talking about things I used to like" phase right now.
Basically since Nixon got pardoned, through Iran contra, to Jan 6, no administration has faced full consequences for their illegal actions. We are not truly a nation of laws. One can hope that someday we might act like one.
This was the music of my late teens and 20s. It wasn't "good", but that was the culture of the time. But what I don't get whatsoever is how people can be nostalgic for it. With hindsight, how does anyone look back and say, "oh yeah, that was the good shit."? Blows my mind.
Oh neat. I just recently learned about Deja Foxx from The Bulwark's FYPod. She seems like a great kid!
They’ll never accept it, but everyone who cast a vote for Donald Trump did real, generations-long damage to the United States and the west in exchange for essentially nothing of value.
Adam Kinzinger now lacks the security clearance required to know if water is wet, the sky is blue, and whether bears do indeed shit in the woods.
we all know where Schumer got his strategy from

The Dems venerate their old. We're still getting Bill Clinton trotted out in front of us long after anyone actually wants to hear from him. I'm not sure that's a healthier system. 2/2
I mean, you could be right. I'm more handsome than bright, so who knows. It just seems to me that the GOP is done with one of their own as soon as they lose an election or finish their term, like sharks always moving forward. 1/2
I will fully admit, I have no idea what is going on with him. The Kentucky electorate appears to be 65% chaos gremlins.
Yeah man, that guy has definitely been unproductive to the cause of fucking over Democrats.
Say what you will about the GOP, but the second their politicians stop producing, they mark them for death. It creates an oddly healthy amount of turnover. The outlier is Chuck Grassley who won his first political office when the president was fucking Eisenhower.
Hey guys, this is the least important thing, but I'd like to know: are fries made with beef tallow really good? Like noticeably? Should I seek out someone who is making them this way and give them a try? Or not give a shit because they're probably just fine?
