If the shooter really was a Groyper, then MAGA and the Republicans power every one of us a very public apology and mea culpa for their tantrums of the last few days.

That video is so suss and too convenient. I don't believe anything coming from the FBI or the governor of Utah.
Tax the churches if they're going to be directly political!
Do the shadows match the time of day of the shooting? Can the parked cars shown be verified as having been on site on that location at the exact time of the shooting? I will happily accept if I'm proven wrong but I simply don't trust either the governor of Utah or the FBI at this point
Video feels fishy. Hope some experts can closely examine the video to ascertain whether or not it was actually shot at the same time as the shooting. Why is there no time code? Do the shadows match the time of day of the shooting? 1/2
Zzzzzzzzzzzzz
Not just friends. The number of journalists, newscasters, and reporters that are both-sides-ing this is revolting
Sources or citations or it's bs
Where is @chrislhayes.bsky.social ?
Let it crumble. It's too far gone at this point. We'll rebuild from the ashes MAGA will leave behind
Tell that to the US' founders.
Really? You choose to promulgated the words of this obviously biased right wing governor?
You literally wrote "art shouldn't be accessible to all".
IMPEACH JOHN ROBERTS. HE IS COMMITTING TREASON

SCOTUS is all in on fascism and an imperial presidency. This is no longer a democracy and no longer country I can put my trust and faith in. We must now turn to active resistance. The Constitution is incapable of restraining this ongoing treasonous attempt to turn us into an autocracy.
Grift river, wider than a mile Of course we have no style to see…
Not that there haven't been thousands of others, but if this isn't an impeachment level offense, I don't know what is anymore.
Ok tennis fans who aren't lackeys of the orange cretin, you know the alignment. Be loud, and disruptive. Send the USTA the finger for their craven and cowardly request. All sports is political.
Folks, if you are attending the US Open final, and don't boo him, and engage in protests and disruption, despite the pleas from the craven cowards at the USTA to bow, shuffle, and kowtow before the orange fatted calf, you're complicit in all his atrocities. Sorry, not sorry, tennis fans.
Tell that to all the scientists who were persecuted by religious authorities and totalitarian leaders over the millenia
Sorry to hear of this what I am sure must be a devastating loss
Smarmy: is every GOP elected official, and sadly, some Dems, too
It's called "Connections" not "Definitions" or "Categories".
Just had this awful thought that, when the joyous day comes, just as it happens in Sleeper, his nose will be preserved to later clone him to return as dictator
Heightism at its worst. Have made my displeasure known to @manhattanmini.bsky.social
This is heightism at its worst. This is wrong @manhattanmini.bsky.social and you should take down that billboard and outside an apology immediately @rbreich.bsky.social
This is actually quite heartening to read
Transparent how, exactly? That it's transparently political?
Circulate this as widely as possible
Question: what does a convicted sexual abuser and trafficker define as "inappropriate"? Puh'leese, she wouldn't know what's appropriate from what's porn
Guess it's time to stop buying computers with Intel chips.

This is so illustrative of everything that's wrong with the writing and publishing world these days. It is so full of itself it no longer believes relevancy across generational lines matters.
I love this sand in the gears energy
Why resist? Here's a scientific way to look at it. Power=current*energy, and energy=current*resistance. All resistance we create impacts power. No resistance—energy produces lots of current & power increases. Every act of resistance decreases energy & current, thereby reducing power. RESIST!
Take it up with the Powell Memo
Witnessing the decompensation of a narcissist should generate such schadenfreude but he controls a nuclear arsenal so it's frightening.
This needs wide dissemination
Oops Missed the assignment. In high school it was a paper on Fermat's Last Theorem. In college, a paper I wrote on why chocolate malts were among the most effective and efficient drinks for techies to consume before a crew call.
It almost felt like a Mandela effect, but my mom (z"l) had kept it so I confirmed it was real years later when going through her boxes and boxes of papers, an elementary school paper on Edgar Allen Poe (which only folks with deep cut knowledge of musical theatre will get)
…donna? A plaintive cry from his malfunctioning brain to be put out of its misery?
Hey @msnbc.com your audience really doesn't want continuous coverage of this meaningless spectacle in Alaska.
So, FOTUS is in Alaska with Putin and....RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES
Attempting some redemption in the eyes of followers after yesterday?
Who, or what, is employing her? This sounds really sus.
Gotta agree with John again. For a precocious child who did manage to get through The Once and Future King, a translation of Thucydides History of the Peloppenisian Wars and The Hobbitt, LOTR was the slog that turned me into more of a SciFi than fantasy lover (with some notable exceptions)
Wow. Such a disappointment. Won't be sparing him the guillotine when the time comes if this remains his tune.
I thought long and hard about this. Born in '55, and having devoured the classics, my initial impulse was to disagree with John that classics are classics for a reason. But upon further reflection today's youth deserve introductions to the genre that reflect their realities.
However you need to spin it so you can justify your hypocrisy and keep your iPhone
So consensus doesn't matter, and quack doctors' opinions should matter?
Um...
The tech companies will never let that happen
Hey @msnbc maybe time to stop using Apple as the primary host for your branded podcasts?
I'll go beyond that: f*ck Bibi
True test, fellow blue folks. Gonna match your actions and choices to your values and give up that iPhone now that Cook has made a sacrifice to the orange Authoritarian fascist?
What you do with that luck matters. I'd like to believe that, for the most part, you've done good things with it. I include the hedging only because we're all human and self-indulgence happens.
Not the own you seem to think it is @TSA
In the face of currently changing world opinion and even the opinion of most diaspora Jews like me against Israel's captivity to right-wing fascism, this firing is the move they make? Done with Israel until the Israeli people elect a non-authoritarian government. Same for my own country, the US.
High power battery/rechargeable Bluetooth speakers have killed the state/municipal/federal park/pool/picnic experience. While I do appreciate a mix of different styles, when everyone is competing to be the loudest, the experience is ruined for everybody. Stop. Just stop.
Ok, economists and conditional/ legal scholars, what would actually happen to funds already paid and collected if presidentally imposed tariffs under the IEEPA were to be found unconstitutional? W/O an act of Congress they? not be refunded retroactively, would they have to be refunded retroactively

@chrislhayes.bsky.social it's the gang that couldn't shoot straight
So Chung blatantly lied, contradicted by his boss! Stealing away hired staff is hardly creepy.
Another theory is the j comes from the French "Jardin" (garden) to try and make the game seem fancier
A made up blend word. Jarts are lawn darts. There is an unconfirmed claim the J comes a connection to a javelinbecause it is thrown. Others say it's a combination of the noun "jar" (meaning to jostlee or shake) and "dart", but there is no credible etymological evidence to confirm either of these
Yes, I tried clew, because it's a word in routine use in theatrical age other floors of rigging. But I'm most upset about the crossword calling Jarts a pormanteau.
Jarts is definitively NOT a portmanteau
Indeed. A truly fascinating wormhole to crawl down. Guess I'll have to go on the journey now. Thanks for the challenge.
Blue- white stars are much boy than red stars. It's just physics!
So happy for you and @jesszafarris.bsky.social !
Can they be any more obvious?
Well, there's a story idea for you…
Worthy of investigation.
Why is South Park all over my Threads feed but nowhere to be found on Bluesky? Hmm? Not at all what I expected.
Anyone who believes Ghislaine Maxwell wouldn't perjure herself in exchange for a pardon or commutation is deluding themselves.
who were probably assumed to be less moral and ethical simply due to their lesser stature). I'd love to see a comprehensive list of suggested changes (constitutional and otherwise) that would correct these weaknesses. 2/2
OK. The flaws in our system of checks and balances as envisioned by the founders have become all too glaringly obvious, created in a time when honor and integrity between gentlemen was assumed (though I'm not sure this belief was equally applied by the gentry to the common folk, 1/2
I love Michael Steele suggesting that what we are seeing happen is a modern day underground railroad to protect immigrants. Harriet would be proud. Now we need a secret song like Follow the Drinking Gourd. @msnbc.com
Are we now so sure he avoided those STDs?
As much as I appreciate all the brilliant programming from consortia like APM et al, it costs local stations lots of $ to carry them. Give the locals the money that's currently used to bolster the "corporation." Cut back ATC & Weekend Ed & send that money back to the locals! That's true public media
I'm as upset about the regime's recision of funding for public media. But here's a question worthy of consideration for CPB leadership. Given you'll have fewer funds, why not focus those resources on local programming and local stations, and shrink the national presence. Truer to your vision. 1/2

We know why you really did that. Because she would kill you for the offense, and rightly so.
The new Murderbot universe short @marthawells.com just wrote had my licking my chops, too.

Phil Ochs reborn
Ok, who lost too much money when we stopped making pennies that 🟠💩 had to give them a booby prize?
She was the only one with discomfort at being seen on the arm of a male shorter than she was
No disagreement. I'm 4'9", shorter than Robert Reich. I've done ok. Yet still encountered some heightism along the way. Interesting to note I was married to a woman who was 5'9, and had a long term relationship with a woman 6'2. In between I had a brief marriage to a 5'0 woman. 1/2
Oh, eff no to Rahm.
Resistance. Not the kumbaya style. We tried appeasement. We tried non-violent protest. The active kind we're seeing when people swarm around someone that ICE is attempting to abduct. Perhaps violent is the wrong term. Appropriately physical interference.
Nonsense, because at this point the ONLY way they stop coming for us is through violent resistance.
You seem to have a very weak knowledge of the realities of the evolutionary process.
Dream away. We're way past that now, and though the idea is nice, the reality is that this just plays into the hands of the fascists.
Like the Nobel committee would seriously consider a nomination from Bibi advancing DJT for the Peace Prize?
