Was Sara Gideon a centrist or a liberal candidate 6 years ago? I was pissed that I donated to her campaign and she didn't even spend all the $ she raised!

Great photo. Hawaii is a magical place.
I think this is a part of that, but I also think that part of the college/non-college split is a self-sorting of curious people and incurious people. It's one of the reasons why LLMs, an easy answers tool for the incurious, are increasingly conservative-coded.
I was being mildly sarcastic. He was terribly wrong on that one big thing. Also, I’m in Florida. We have our own brand of problems
I am once again wondering when the last time was that Nate Silver spent more than 3 minutes outside in a park without looking at his phone. I feel like everyone who blogged about baseball circa mid-to-late 2000s owes the world one big apology.
I am once again asking you to stop sending us money. But we do need your time. ⏰ zohranfornyc.com/events
Makes me miss Tony Blair
Stephen is more a talker than a thinker. Some might call him an ignorant fool.

A person should not believe in isms, they should believe in themselves.
Only one year did it hit 90%
Nate’s brain has been cooked by Elon’s algorithm
Do I need to read this? WCW is a NPC in my game.
But sure, foreign companies will want to invest in factories in America.
Vaccine requirements for schools are overwhelmingly popular
this is the part that was very funny to me. apple music is $1 less than spotify per month. and apple just rolled out an auto importer for spotify playlists and fave artists. seamless.
My man Nate, sharing a place with MattY and Mags Habs is NOT a feature, it's a bug.
I do like your skeets, Jim I am I like them here, I like them there, I like them everywhere. I will read them with a song I will read them with a joke I will read them when long Even if they go up in smoke
Y’all are worried about “civics” education and these guys missed the “milk maids with cowpox” classes, Louis Pasteur, Watson & Crick, and Gregor Mendel. I want the names of their elementary and middle schools.
If you wondered why the CEO of Delta would have supported Trump, it's to be free to screw over passengers without penalty.
In my house the question is usually, "birthday cake for breakfast", to which I also reply, "go for it". Healthy is good.
I had to google, because that looks like an awesome gallery. Guessing it's Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University? We toured Duke this summer, but I missed this exhibit. There was an exceptional photography exhibit in the Rubenstein Library gallery library.duke.edu/exhibits/202...
If I say I like your outfit, does that make the first of the Subaru moms?
Dude should have just talked to a professor that was actually teaching. Humans' superpower is that we can learn from each other via communication: talking, writing, or, dare say, emailing.
We should judge the effectiveness of land-use by how the land is used. If you can get 8x as many people using a space, that is an improvement. Add in that many tennis courts sit unused, while pickleball courts, at least here, are much more often used, the number gets closer to 10X or higher. Good
Go for it
This is my (slightly controversial) #DigitalFriday find this week bsky.app/profile/adze...
I already beat another guy who cut Medicaid, gave tax breaks to billionaires, and hounded multiple women who accused him of sexual harassment — might as well debate the one actually calling the shots.
I feel fine with that.
1. lots of people put their lower taxes or private school vouchers over this. 2. defeating woke and making sure sidewalks don't get chalked in memory of a massacre are more important than keeping people safe from measles 3. CNN has a guy saying only 51% support mandates, so they feel they're losing.
Vaccine requirements for schools are overwhelmingly popular, even in Florida. #vaccines www.washingtonpost.com/documents/44...
I don't make it a point of identifying people online who explicitly want their stories mentioned, but that is no bullshit a real Guinness record
A "man's man" on my adult baseball team, a guy who owns a Guiness record for the size and strength of his hands, got shingles. I accidentally gently poked him in the back. The look he gave me with the "that really hurt" shocked me. Shingles sucks.
Jain is very naive. Conservatives like to say they don't "cut people off", but their groups are built on ostracism and using shame to enforce conformity. They also routinely lie on surveys. Not seeing the asymmetry in one side being bigoted and the other side saying, I don't need your bigotry????
Conservatives never cut people off just for who they are, let alone their politics. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
cafe fight? cross promotion with Starbucks? Or Black Rifle Coffee?
strange to look at this - probably the greatest impromptu speech in U.S. history - and think: this man will be killed two months later and his son will go on to murder millions of people worldwide. www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2kW...
They can disable his account, but they won't disable holocaust deniers? Got it.
vIBeS!

Joseph McNeil, one of four North Carolina college students whose occupation of a racially segregated Woolworth’s lunch counter 65 years ago helped spark nonviolent civil rights sit-in protests across the South, died, his university said. He was 83. https://cnn.it/3JOhsqT
He reminds me of a stupider Don Rumsfeld.
I would bet a large sum of money she did not in fact say she was not trustworthy. RFK Jr. has shown himself to be completely untrustworthy. So why should we believe him when he says anything?
I do miss group chats.
Not my joke. But kind of fabulous.
Good messages alongside bad ones, delivered by a cadre that includes fascists? Not going to achieve what you want, and will enable some toxic elements of society. Good message, needs new messengers.
Republican Senators have a history of being "concerned" yet still voting to confirm questionable nominees. They let themselves be lied to. Dictionary definition of credulity.
Ok its ‘feed it off an aux, speak, grunt no strength, the ladder start to clatter with fear fight down height, wire in a fire representing seven games, a government for hire and a combat site’.
When suburban Americans tire of Europeans vacationing in their traffic, car-dependent suburbs, then I'll consider Europe behind in this arena.
The headline does more damage than the article tries to undo.
True, they are survivors, but we kill a lot at sea, and have damaged a lot of their nesting grounds. They lay a lot of eggs to get one mature turtle. They are incredibly amazing though.
They tried to ban music in the 70s because they thought there were subliminal messages hidden in the recordings, but now we have a machine that convinces people to do murder-suicides and it’s being haphazardly and hurriedly installed into every aspect of our lives
I’m just a girl, who did a spinal tap on a preschooler last week, asking you to fire RFK Jr.
happy football season, quick reminder that sportsbooks win about 3% of your money on straight football bets, but almost 20% on parlays and same-game parlays. which is why they have all the ads for those and not regular bets (info via NJ Dept. of Gaming Enforcement monthly report, July 2025)
just had the thought "okay tankie, if the Soviets were the liberators of Eastern Europe, why did they send in tanks to crush Hungary in 1956 and Prague in 1968," only to immediately remember why they are called tankies in the first place
Wife: I'll buy a subscription to any publication that writes one honest story about the "masculinity crisis" that just says "Men want to be able to treat women like shit and still get laid" and just be done with it. There's no more depth to the discussion. There is no nuance.
i am a bit surprised given *gestures around* that the epstein story is still being kept in the public consciousness despite the best efforts of some well done tbh
Turtles survived the asteroid of 65 (mya), but they might not survive humans
I loved when my tweets would hit exactly 140 characters. You make a point substantial enough to fill the 140, but not do wordy that you needed more than 140. I don’t know why but seeing the dial tick down and then it go to 0 right at the end was oddly satisfying. Harder to do with a higher limit.
I’m sure there isn’t
Middle and low-income earners’ consumer confidence is plummeting, while high earners’ is going up. Be warned: this spells doom for our consumer spending-driven economy.
The official DOJ Twitter account posting the equivalent of a screenshotted Notes app apology from a phone on 30% battery after the acting director got honeypotted on Hinge and confirmed plans of an Epstein/Maxwell coverup.
i am watching clips from the kennedy hearing and one thing that comes across is his petulance at being challenged. he is like an overgrown baby (if that baby were a hot dog you grilled too long)
On reflection, this is a really magical time to be on Bluesky. A quiet period before some important dynamics start to happen. I think things will start to change here because of things happening outside Bluesky and the things happening under Bluesky.
“My” cold dead hands, not “their” cold dead hands. See they do care about pronouns
Invisible Rulers is a great book that everyone should read Also available at your library www.amazon.com/Invisible-Ru...
If there were a “Department of War” it would obviously be very very small when we aren’t at war, right?
Country famous for being a 'gas station with nukes' now has no gas.
They took 1984 as a manual and not a warning
No lie detected
P.S. still the funniest shit said in college football history.
I deleted IG after i got an ad with rfk jr in it. Among other reasons
Can anyone remind me how the economy was doing in 2009?
Play clickbait games, win clickbait prizes. Shitty headlines are not the way to get people to read your article
Calling anyone a “performative male” is shitty
Play clickbait games, win clickbait prizes. Write a shitty headline, not gonna read the article.
If you write better headlines, people will read the article. Play the clickbait game, win the clickbait prizes.
“It's completely insane and I love every moment of it”
The insanity is a feature not a bug. I joined my first 3-sport league based on the discord message “It's completely insane and I love every moment of it”
I thought this was an AI deepfake, but I’m guessing it’s real
These companies jumped at the opportunity to raise prices in 2021, but "intend to not pass on these tariff related costs"? WTAF
True. But I can still say, "I'm not reading that", and the headline can still do more damage than the article would fix. They're playing on culture war nonsense. They're profiting off dividing people. I can choose not to play their game.
I saw it the first time after he had died. I regret not asking him what he thought about Epcot or showing him pictures of me and his granddaughters there.
fascism is the ideology for insecure losers who know they do not provide any value in a functioning society and instead of learning any tangible skills they would rather lash out with violence
My grandpa. Adult at Epcot. Without any kids or grandkids. Circa 1983. He was 60.
They're farming rage clicks.
BECAUSE THE HEADLINE SUCKS Post with a clickbait headline, get treated like clickbait.
