It’s *crazy* you haven’t deleted this yet. Have some integrity.
There was no way Obed was going to let Suarez’s mouth get close to him. Smart kid.
After 20 years, I finally figured out who Brian Schmetzer reminds me of. Rick Steves.
Luis Suarez is a piece of trash. As usual.
I can’t believe there is 30 minutes left in this Sounders match. I feel like I’ve been watching the second half for 3 days now.
It says everything about how hated he is that in media reporting about the incident they have to specify “it wasn’t a targeted attack.”
It’s really foolish to get wrapped up into this stuff. It would be great if it happened, obviously, but it wouldn’t change much. It’s not going to save us.
A public health catastrophe. Not “immanent,” not “potential.” This is the catastrophe.
We are being ruled by barbarians
I just can’t get over this lady’s wig. It’s so bad.
The enshittification of Medicare has begun. This is step 1 toward dismantling it entirely.
This is profoundly humiliating for the entire country.
Anyone with a conscience knows and appreciates what you’re talking about.
When I lived in Seattle I’d often go to that fish market near Chinook’s. In retrospect, it probably had some of the best seafood in the entire world. I definitely took it for granted.
Oh, totally agreed. But now that I don’t live in Seattle, options are limited! Honestly, Costco sells Alaskan salmon and that’s where I get it now.
Growing up and living in Seattle completely ruined Atlantic salmon for me. Finding Alaskan salmon in restaurants outside of the PNW is nearly impossible. That said, I need to get over my Atlantic salmon aversion because if it’s prepared right it can be really good. This is my non-political post.
Among all the other things, "The President has screwed things up so badly that the world's other rich countries won't deliver mail to us anymore" really should end it immediately.
Holy shit.
It’s such a helpless feeling.
Today is an extraordinarily bleak news day. Jesus Christ.
Walter Rodney often said that fascism is the application of colonial practices to a domestic population. Looking at the masked kidnappings by ICE and state militias occupying American cities, I've been thinking about that a lot lately.
We have to stop with the hopium around this dude’s health. It’s irrelevant. He’s going full fascist because *he’s a fascist*.
Every single one of my colleagues in Austria who apply for an ESTA visa to travel to the US has it denied. They have to make an in-person appointment at the US Embassy in Vienna 4 hours away. This makes it exceedingly difficult to do business in the United States. It’s absurd.
This is genocide.
Do you make a concerted effort to sound completely out of touch with average people or does it just come naturally?
Trump is deploying the military against his own citizens and using secret police to kidnap people, many of them innocent, and send them to concentration camps and prisons in foreign countries and he *truly* believes he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize.
He follows me, too, apparently. I feel like this must’ve happened years ago and now it’s way too late to follow back.
This is exactly right. He does think we’re stupid. Fortunately, the vast majority don’t buy his bullshit. It’s depressing that he keeps trying to sell it, though.
Cuban is a perfect example of the adage “there are no good billionaires.” All you have to do is scratch just below the surface. And in this case, Cuban volunteered the proof himself.
Get the fuck out of here, you dolt.
This is great. I have often given a similar monologue except about cortados instead of flat whites. If a cortado is on the menu, that’s a green flag. If they do it correctly, they’re legit and are “coffee first” he says.
Four Seasons Landscaping wasn’t an accident. He’s been building up to this moment for years. The clues were all there.
Because Trump.
In @nytopinion.nytimes.com Vaccines don’t cause autism. This visual analysis shows how a father-son duo manipulated data despite no connection between vaccines and autism, writes Jess Steier.
The people dominating our political landscape, culture, and economy are just so stupid and full of shit it's almost impossible to describe
Kansas City is great as long as it’s not July or August. Highly underrated city. Would recommend to anyone.
I’m good with it for now. He’s perfectly demonstrating the absurdity of Trump in a way that no other political leader has. TBD whether it connects at a broader level.
This is enraging. What a moral failure.
Here’s another angle of Trump welcoming Putin on the tarmac.
I’m surprised Trump didn’t have a big handmade sign and balloons. This is one of the darker moments in American history.
He will start wars with allies before releasing the Epstein files.
In aerospace, Pilatus isn’t selling planes to US customers anymore. One underreported aspect of this entire situation is that Americans will have fewer options as foreign companies simply abandon our market. This will worsen inflation caused by tariffs by also creating supply shortages.
For several reasons, I’ve been conflicted about Newsom but I think he’s on to something now. Mocking Trump my mimicking his absurdity is pretty effective politicking. It really sucks that it’s come to this, obviously, but it might actually work.
Yakety Sax would be good, too.
All we wanted was universal health care and a fair tax structure. It enraged them so much they’re putting military in our streets.
They need to call up Tyrion Fonzarelli.
Can I be honest? Republicans should be scared for what they’ve done to this country. They all deserve to be shitting their pants in terror for the rest of their pathetic, tiny lives.
What in the absolute fuck.
He’ll never get elected. Norms will restrain him. Mueller will get him. He can’t come back from J6. No way he’ll get re-elected. Epstein will bring him down. He’s overplayed his hand. He has dementia. This isn’t who we are. (Fables of the Trumpocene)

Awesome to see my local PBS stations (shout out to Cascade PBS) showing Rick Steve's "The Story of Fascism in Europe". Linking to Rick's @ricksteves.bsky.social site, where it is available for free: www.ricksteves.com/watch-read-l...
Fascism is here. We are not “getting closer” or “in danger of.” This matters because it frames our discussion: We aren’t trying to prevent it, we’re trying to defeat it. It’s not taking over our institutions, it’s taken them over. Otherwise, we’re always behind, fighting a past we’ve already lost.
@mcuban.bsky.social Until you passionately support taxing billionaires (like yourself) nothing else you support matters.
Genuinely incredible that she's saying this with 2 accused rapists on either side of her
Yikes.
The New York Times capitulates to terorists every day.
“Endorsed by RFK Jr.” no doubt.
I mean, of course. But in order to do this the Dems need a simple majority in the House and 60 votes in the Senate — as well as a President who will sign the legislation. If the Dems ever have that much power again, I doubt DC statehood will be at the top of their agenda.

This is sickening and enraging.
This year is the first time since 2001 that I think the Mariners have a legitimate chance to win the World Series and, of course, the Milwaukee Brewers have decided to never lose again.
You are vastly over-simplifying a complex issue to the point that it’s disinformation. And you *know* this.
I personally would like to tax you until you’re merely a hundred millionaire. Meanwhile, you’re using your considerable power via your wealth and platform shove AI down our throats.
This is VERY BAD you utter dolt.
A guy on my flight to Toronto is wearing a “Make Europe Great Again” hat and I don’t know if he’s right wing or being ironic. Either way, the “Make Whatever Great Again” meme is washed. There’s no humor left in it.
I’ve never heard him referred to as only a pediatrician. I think his legacy was much more on the psychoanalysis side of things. Regardless, he was brilliant.
This is incredibly fucked up.

Goddamn, this is bleak.

The air quality here is horrible, as expected, and ash is falling from the sky.
Fair! I’m curious but not enough to order it, yet.
I’m not super hungry tonight. I wonder if Smoothie King has anything new.
Yeah, I don’t even have the words anymore.
This guy needs to be sent to the surface of the sun. What an absolute monster.
It’s literally as simple as this.
LOL. I’m dying.
I was just going to say…it would almost be impossible to fasten this together securely without pocket screws somewhere. Nice work.
This is a 100 year problem they’ve created. There is no easy way through it, either.
Yeah, they don’t have a choice, as shitty as it is. The Dems have been bringing knives to gunfights for far too long.
Holy shit. These guys are unbelievably stupid.
This is an important point. If rich people leave for Florida or Texas they were going to do that anyway regardless of taxes. There was just an article about all of the comics who left LA and NY for Austin and now regret it.
I mean, this is the right thing to do but it’s pretty terrible for democracy as a whole.
This is further evidence that social media is a public health nightmare.
Please just Google noise sensitivity. If you can find anything about introversion, I’ll happily be corrected.
Heh. Being extremely sensitive to noise is *itself* a diagnosable condition. Introversion is not.
Could be a symptom of anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, or even autism. May not have anything to do at all with introversion.
Is Reuters using AI to write headlines now?
This is the dumbest gotcha attempt I’ve ever seen. Pull yourself together.
Balks have been called for a lot less.
You’re making a lot of assumptions about me right now that are way off base. This is a problem with people like you.
If it was a choice between 99% Hitler and 100% Hitler, you’d be right. Fortunately, that’s not the reality.
I wish you the best in finding a politician who will give everything you want.
Good.
For me, I felt like holding Dems accountable could happen after I helped them win. It was probably naive of me to think that but the fear of Trump was the driving factor.
You’re obviously not wrong on the facts. Is there a point for you where defeating the obvious fascist becomes more important than *anything* else? If not, that’s valid, of course. But for a lot of us, it was the most important thing and it was hard to accept others didn’t see it that way.
Also, please let JP’s walk-off tonight be the Doug Strange moment the Mariners need.
