Bernie Sanders tells Rolling Stone he’s backing Graham Platner, Maine’s oysterman Senate candidate, to “send a message.” The message: “Ordinary people can step up, you can take on the powers that be. You can win.” Dispatch from @andrewperez.bsky.social: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
So yeah. Thank you, Employment Jelly.
Look at that beautiful blue sky! ⏰☠️ Wake Up Dead Man, the new Benoit Blanc mystery. Thanksgiving in theaters, 12/12 on Netflix. More to come very soon…
Just reminded of the Oglaf strip with the crow lawyer. (One of the few safe for work strips, but the rest of the comics are very smutty.)
In @theatlantic.com the former First Lady advocating healthy lunches is just like the hhs head being an anti vaccine quack killing people. Stop the planet I want to get off.
He was telling people to physically assault trans people
The Last Unicorn movie was a foundational animation for me growing up. It's so nice to learn that the author of something you loved as a child is a decent person.
One bonus to working a holiday is being able to help in the kitten room. 🙂
Buddy if you're 40 years old trying to go down the kid's tube slide might I recommend something: Don't.
I'm just going to keep noting that the owner and operator of Twitter -- the social media that too many politicians and pundits use to determine what's "normal" -- keeps on pushing the white supremacist Great Replacement Theory that has been the motivation for multiple mass shootings in this country.
the 80s and 90s were such an amazing era for little kids watching movies that they absolutely should not have been watching
This is how you handle someone who tries to sell AI slop at a con: remove them, and then clown on them relentlessly
It astonishes me how parents are perfectly able to understand "the kid brought something home from school and now we're all sick" except for COVID for some reason
We go now live to the President approaching the podium to address the press.
"Democrats need to avoid Blueskyism" says guy on Elon Musk's website.
Hi, what the fuck is going on at Walter Reed?
using a website owned by an overt white supremacist to tutscold a website full of trans activists and scientists
I'm still working through the a football coach who wears a hat with the name of his opponent on it bit
The thing that keeps me coming back to the Newsom stuff is that Democrats who object to our saying we'd never vote for him are refusing to treat us as ordinary voters who need to be won over, like any other demographic.
Think of it as a chess match: the storm versus local weather patterns. The cone represents an analysis of all possible moves that can be made, with suppositions on the most likely ones that will be made given all known conditions. That's why it gets more accurate the closer to the present date.
The only reason the New York Times is shaming Israel is because it's keeping them from access, which is the same reason they went fucking nuclear on Biden. There are no ethics here, only self-interested bastards.
Tropical waves and storms and even hurricanes are tricky little monsters. Sometimes it looks like they're heading on a straight line, then they'll turn one way or another at the last minute. I've learned that when one pops up it's a good idea to check on it at least once a day.
Not sure where this one is going. If you're in the Southeast or the Gulf of Mexico, keep your eyes on it the next few days.
As Trump attacks unions and occupies our city, we’re called to remember how we got here. Labor Day would not exist without the workers who fought and died at the Haymarket Massacre and the Pullman Strike in Chicago. It’s not a coincidence he’s targeting Chicago:
I was specifically told stepping on a crack would break my mother's back, not a mother*fucker's* back. I'm going to file a support ticket.
I'm feeling like hammered shit tonight and Tara's not doing much better, so we're gonna call it a wash and move RDA to tomorrow. See you then.
Fuck you, Wicket

Todayborday, I'd like to wish alla y'alls a Mario Paint Labor Day!
"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.
My pre-labor day reward was to get laid off, do me a favor and sign up to get my now-independent reporting and writing
Okay sure everyone loves Zohran but have you considered Sliwa's feral cat colony proposal
:(
It's easy to hide something from people's eyes, but it's a lot harder to hide that smell ...
(This puppy is not available, he just came in stray over the weekend.) OMG MY HEART! I know he's not a cat, but look at him! I love him, I would die for him. ❤️
Best I can figure is they want to get something out of there in a way that somebody else currently in the building (ie the press or a VIP) is never aware of it. Like bedsheets caked in shit, for example.
Very telling that I never saw the latest “Bluesky is dying because it’s not nice enough to important people” post because while the guy is a Very Special Big Boy Verified Account he is also labeled with like nine different transphobia labels and pre-blocked by transphobe blocklists
Witnessing the AI artist get kicked out of the DragonCon artist alley was satisfying.
Somebody is throwing things out of a window of the White House wtaf
Shit's going super normal over there. Definitely signs that everyone is alive and accounted for and definitely doing something and not dead.
Now live on Patreon: He's brimming with resentment for himself and for other men like him - older virgins. Is there any way to let go of the incel beliefs and start living a better life? www.patreon.com/post...
Remember when people used the term "false equivalency"?
People are melting down at a Tribune article about CHSD 230 considering adding Arabic to its language learning electives. I wasted time in the comments, which I normally avoid doing since it's useless and awful, but it led to possibly the funniest thing anybody's ever said to me about France.
I love the smell of consequences in the morning. Thank you, @dragoncon.org
he's got too much fuckin shit on him
I think it's clear now that the only way to defend the human rights of everyone in Britain is to destroy the Labour Party.
every pic of trump looks like this now
happy labor day
It’s not like this government has a few transphobes - it is institutionally transphobic to its core, being on the board of a transphobic hate group will help you get a senior role
Happy Labor Day, comrades 🫡
"Sorry small child fleeing a war zone. I'm afraid you can't join your parent here in safety because your English grammar isn't up to scratch."
Get well, Mr. Mayor. Whoever did this is dethpicable.
It includes several bone-shattering landings, which is a perfect Evel Knievel simulation.

To elaborate - the New York Times is institutionally biased against trans people. Not speaking with their reporters is protective, plus it can send a message that institutional bias gets in the way of their good reporters' ability to do basic reporting.
You can hear the crashes from the MIT student center or the great lawn. You can hear them while you’re playing tennis on the outdoor courts.
Big Finish are celebrating the 45th anniversary of the first showing of The Leisure Hive with a fab Season 18 sale! The quartet of E-Space audios are included, plus my novel Watchers (which leads into Logopolis) and Joe Lidster's story about an adult Adric - A Full Life! Snap 'em all up!
He might just be getting a colonoscopy or bullshit cosmetic surgery.
Elon Musk will be championing the Tommy Robinson 13/9 rally, on grounds that Nigel Farage is "weak sauce" on mass deportation and too soft on Islam Govt not even reviewing its use of X since 2022 shows different rules apply to Elon Musk than we expect of every school-child on British values
A couple of years back companies started using AI voiceover and my voiceover gigs disappeared. And then they realised it wasn't quite working...and started using VO artists again. You can create something that is passably a human voice but you can't create something that's even passably human.
How many people voted for a Labour Government last year in order to keep torture survivors separated from their families?
Reminder: the apparent plan was to spirit these children away in the middle of the night without them ever seeing the inside of a courtroom to challenge their deportation. Children.
the judge is now basically checking every couple of hours to make sure her directions are being followed to the letter because she is dealing with lying liars who lie astounding how much credibility the government has burned with the courts
Quintessentially New Labour: ✅️ Throwing minorities to the wolves to advance their worthless careers ✅️ Straightforwardly authoritarian ✅️ Fatuous use of language of "modernisation" to maintain self image of bourgeois respectability
Remember this for when it all comes crashing down and former Republicans claim they never really supported Trump and they were horrified by what he was doing. The overwhelming majority of Republicans are getting exactly what they wanted.
It's sorta like final destination in that they didn't release the Epstein files so instead they all just die
I hope you understand that if you show up at a hospital with an infection no one has ever seen before that the US had somewhere you could call. That place would answer, offer testing you can’t get anywhere else and come visit you to solve if necessary.
MAGA got everything they wanted out of Cracker Barrel and they still want to punish the company anyway. Just about the most predictable outcome you could imagine.
amazing timing with this one, as people granted asylum will find it impossible to reunite with their families
"Newsom trolls..." "DNC trolls..." "Democrats troll..." I literally do not give a shit about the opposition "trolling" others, it's time the DNC stops treating politics like a game of Twitter and finally organises against the right-wing government. Stop trying to do le epic trolls and DO SOMETHING.
Before you jeer at Sir Keir for campaigning as a progressive, then governing as a bigot panderer, consider this: that upon being elected party leader he was possessed by the ectoplasmic malice of his former master, the bearded warlock Jeremy Corbyn.
Lest you say "it's not like that in the United States," I am currently representing a person facing criminal charges for - and this is true - saying "protect trans kids" during a school board meeting
Elon Musk's ally Steve Laws regularly posts racially aggravated harassment at ethnic minorities: both public figures and other individuals. The police told me they planned to interview him about this (last January) but have done little or nothing about it.
Bunch of people who never had to uproot their entire lives and move thousands of miles away ought to stop pontificating on asylum and immigration
I wrote about the humility of expertise and the arrogance of ignorance, the profound laziness that attends believing that you can find knowledge by ignoring the accumulation of inherited human knowledge, and the ways lazy arrogance fuels narratives of fascism. www.the-reframe.com/your-ignoran...
Sorry, that was me. I was hungie.
"SIGNED, YOUR LIVING PRESIDENT, ROGER THE INTERN" bsky.app/profile/pale...
look, my skeets this weekend have mostly been about wishing death on donald trump and rudy giuliani, but that's not hate. that's love for their enemies -- the people. praying for the death of trump is an act of love. i'm just a big teddy bear.
Creative writing prompt: Make a simple press statement about a car accident sound suspicious on at least three different levels.
was miku the passenger rudy had in the car?
This should be a bigger story. A government official had the YouTube channel of a private citizen shut down bc he didn’t like what that citizen was saying. This administration’s version of free speech is a joke.
Hey, @marzgurl.com 's Vic Stans blocklist got yeeted by BlueSky. Again. Don't worry. Mine seems to be unaffected.

I'm still working through this episode but I just got to @radiodeadair.com 's cameo. It made me laugh so loud 🤣 I nearly forgot there's a baby down the hall sleeping. Congratulations @linkara.bsky.social on 800 episodes 🎉🎊🎆
I would have beaten him to death with that doorknob
Hire a Black woman. We tend to be very good at what we do because we simply are not allowed to be bad at it.

If I’ve learned only two things from being in union leadership, they are: 1. You only get what you’re willing to fight for. 2. What you fight is who you are. Solidarity.
