What are you darth some sort of WIMP? A SQUISH? You don’t revel in televised murder? Are you even American
They just keep running the same play over and over, hoping that THIS TIME the local population does some violence
And we have been practicing on nonviolent resistance for months and they won’t get their jollies!
He’s mentioned it. I fully expect him to get to us eventually. But NYC doesn’t give off the same ethic signifiers as LA or Chicago, each of which serves as racial shorthand for his audience.
Inconceivable to them that reality could be anything other than what they see on their screens.
They’ve clearly drunk their own koolaid and think that Chicago residents simply will be helpless to resist their baser impulses.
IT'S GOOD FOR YOU
The towels are oh so fluffy, and anyone'll gladly shave your back for a nickel!
Ah, but can you find Pedos
I just personally support so many individual publications and at a certain point I can't take on another monthly charge just to read *one* article in a new outfit. I think we should have a pod system where we trade off subscribing and sharing gift links.
Will they blame the tribal leader when it doesn't happen, or will they find that they're content just to receive permanent permission to be assholes?
"He can still talk, we promise, here he is" THIS IS YOUR KING?
And you just made me have to confirm that Skee-Lo is indeed a real person and not someone you made up for this example.
Also, it’s *extremely* fun and we haven’t had a whole lot of fun lately, or honestly for the last decade.
Order up!
Don’t miss the original article, it’s fantastic
Nooooo, the greatest piece ever produced is the Toast piece on raccoons!
Instant block.
Is that the real Ryan Lizza?
“Bone-petite?”
Can current subscribers cash in on this tote bag deal? I want to impress my neighbors.
I have been offline this afternoon and now am afraid to search. Did someone impugn Weird Al??
He 1000% did not write this, anyway.
Why don’t you send everyone proof of life first? (Either way, Chicago doesn’t want you here)
YESSS THAT’S IT
Look at him posting Crafting replies in the night when there’s few people there Nobody shares
Imagine the joy of outliving him.
I Get Weird! Gonna go play with my chainsaw…
I have that song pretty much memorized. This is what listening to Dr. Demento in junior high will get you. I’m stuck with “They’re Coming to Take Me Away, Ha Ha” engraved in my brain forever.
There’s Klingons on the starboard bow, starboard bow, starboard bow There’s Klingons on the starboard bow, SCRAPE THEM OFF, JIM!
Mallomars should be back in the supermarket any day now.
Kids today will never know what it’s like when the boombox is all the way across the room, so Fables of the Reconstruction just keeps auto-reversing over and over and over and over and over
Accidental Dick has to be an unreleased Morrissey song.
Beads?
SAY IT
It’s nice that the pressure is off him though!
30-50 feral hogs set up a polling place in my yard
I’d stay right where I am in Morningside Heights but I’d find a way to build a house on top of one of the RSD prewars. And I’d put in a heated lap pool. What? It’s my fantasy, okay?
He named his dog after Warren Zevon? OK, I am sending him another $10.
You understand that many of your followers watched the ORIGINAL Battlestar Galactica? This is choosing violence
Two in fact
I had one life until the summer of 2015, and an entirely different one since. My life, my kids' lives, their school experiences, their young adulthood, all utterly perverted by this man and what he has wrought.
Their starting pitcher was clearly going through some things.
It was not boring if you wanted to see supremely efficient Mets pitching! McLean was a delight to watch.
I suffer from this kind of doomer thinking all the time, but I don’t post it, because posting will manifest it. So I just keep it to myself. But seeing it makes it harder. So I really, really appreciate your calling it out, and more importantly explaining why it’s bad.
👍
MANIFESTING
Anyone who wants to make libs upset. That’s the big motivator.
McLean! What a game!
But eventually the ones who quietly go to work will be affected in some way.
Yup. Too much good music!
Absolutely delightful read!
They know nothing is going to happen to them. They’re immune to electoral consequences.
I’m finally going to spring for the DVDs now that they have got the original music in them.
We got a call To write a song About the war in the States But we shouldn’t hurt anyone’s feelings
I like the go out dancing My nation is a bunch of fascists
“He won the popular vote, so”
Influencer craze?? If you’ve ever had expensive dental work on your cat, you quickly get in the habit! Once was enough for a lifetime of cat ownership.
I’ve REPOSTED that sandwich to make a point, god help me

I feel like since last November, I am stuck in an endless loop of Maya Rudolph in that Bill Hader British movie trailer, screaming BUT WHAT IF YOU'RE WRONG
This is an excellent demonstration of the "politics crowds out everything else on Bluesky" thing. I think I would be just so much happier if I were at least occasionally horrified by OTHER stuff besides politics.
From your lips, because they're so confident all the time that they'll never suffer electoral consequences that I have absolutely been questioning my sanity for months.
I thought they really had convinced themselves? That the reality-based politicians are gone and the ones who remain are full-on koolaid drinkers?
I forgot about her! After she apologized tearfully she pretty much vanished.
And they'll consider it a win. They want to feel culturally dominant more than they want anything else. They don't care if they're culturally dominant in an impoverished backwater.
Isn't that a dominance play for him? To lie to our faces, after which he and his people all enjoy watching us insist on reality?
It’s a dominance play for him. He loves watching people (especially people who cause him to feel inferior) having to scurry around demeaning themselves just because he said they have to.
Still available? I will dm you
A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson (is it on Libby? I don’t have access so I can’t search)
I love that episode so much. “Do you know what a a shtetl is?” “Yes, you told me. It’s a reservation.”
Republicans think this only applies to Republicans and Democrats think so too
“When we describe what he says and does or even quote him directly, we sound crazy and no one believes us, we give up nothing matters”
Simply by espousing an idea they discredit it, because we know they are never operating in good faith. So trying to find common ground with them is a fool’s errand.
Not even homeless! For a lot of Fox viewers it just means “there are a lot of non-white people visible in that city”
Right. Here’s another good post from Anat on framing:
Thread 🧵:
I guess the old Cracker Barrel logo, now?
“Oh my God it is female” is up there too.
I think the democrats don’t trust themselves to know how people feel about the economy anymore because they thought they did in 2024, and they were wrong. So no one knows what to say or how to say it anymore.
He can go fuck himself to hell forever.
The droid arrest scene in Andor is what I think of. The autocrats will come for you sooner or later. Even if all you’re doing is just standing there.
“ALL CHAPS ARE ASSLESS”
Gwyneth won an Oscar and this is her reward?!
And we have a job too! When they try, don’t reflexively yell “no not like that.” And then they get it unquestionably right (eg Pritzker yesterday), cheer and amplify it - not just here but in our social circles, peer to peer.
Very few Democrats believe in their own power to actually *do* anything substantive. Pritzker is an exception.
What? That’s not what crooks say?
That is EXACTLY how I feel about Xanadu. I begged and begged my parents to take me to see it at the movies in the summer of 1980 and they refused. By the time I saw it on TV, it was way too late.
Comment section! Unimaginable. The YDN ad campaign in my era was “it comes in your box every day.”
I guess there are a few more of us than I thought? Shit talking the Party of the Right is too delicious to stay quiet.
The racial composition of ICE though. That makes me think i don’t understand any of it.

Let’s talk about Soft White Underbelly please!
I should be seeing Chris in the near future and I’ll show him this thread! He’ll get a kick out of it.
Anyone who watched 30 Rock, for sure!
