We're re-invading Grenada
Professional dog friend. I don't have any money to give. If you don't have a pug you should seriously consider it.

We're re-invading Grenada
That helmet is really cool
Correct. I shared this fact a couple of weeks ago but there are now many school districts in this country that 1) don’t provide bus service 2) provide it to all schools 3) provide for all students. Some are even worse— they steal from public kids for private www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
That is the only song off this album that I almost always skip because I got thoroughly sick of it from radio play. The rest of the album is just banger after banger, though.
Americans finally waking from 45-year Reaganite fever dream
Any time I see Wall Street Journal I will never not think of this work of fucking art
I follow college football games in real time on this site. I follow astronomy people and flower people and bug people and shark people and dog people and even some crazy bicycle people on here. The best accounts of Miltwitter are here. Dril, Internet Hippo, NYTPitchbot, and Catbus are all here.
Wow: 78 year old congressman Jerry Nadler decides not to seek reelection, saying Biden fiasco showed need for "generational change." “Watching the Biden thing really said something about the necessity for generational change in the party, and I think I want to respect that."
I refuse to forget
I honestly did not realize those windows even opened. Seems like a security risk
Remembering when the NYT went on a weeks-long bender covering a decades-old real estate deal the Clintons were involved in, in which they *lost money*.
So there’s a thing I’ve noticed repeatedly from people who are still on X, The Everything App - they’re constantly making weird accusations about Bluesky that don’t make any sense if you’re on here, and I think it’s a sign they’re deeply insecure about posting to X, The Everything App.
Somebody is throwing things out of a window of the White House wtaf
He also seems to be genuinely proud to be Canadian, for all his faults
We knew Scottie Pippen and Horace Grant because they were the Bulls team in NBA Jam, which Jordan was inexplicably (to a kid) not a part of
Polling in Oklahoma two years ago revealed that few Oklahoma Republicans had any idea what their violent crime rates were, and were shocked to learn that they were far higher than the rates in California, Illinois and New York (but still lower than Arkansas, Texas and Louisiana)
Every Labor Day I remember that the holiday was moved from May 1 to September not only for the Haymarket attacks but to break up the possibility between the US and the international labor movement (which celebrates in May). And it worked!
The good news is that this guy is not at all hard to outrun
The other neat part is that federal construction completely ignores local NIMBY red tape bsky.app/profile/spoo...
What infuriates me about Schatz is most public health people were saying that schools should be the last things to be closed, and bars should be the first, but local & state governments, in most places, decided to do the exact opposite, yet somehow Big Public Health gets blamed for those policies.
It tickles me to think how shocked they must be at how many people want the IRS to actually do things
The DOGE crew is learning about public goods!
The survey is quite short and you get to say fuck you to some bullshit leading questions
Isn't Yarvin SF based? I feel like Silicon Valley is responsible for much here
From the U.S., Kier Starmer really does come across as a perfect example of you cannot successfully try to ape reactionary conservative politics in the long term. Labour got a single win and Starmer proceeded to drive the party into its worst polling in generations by courting the right.
They did not count on that dastardly judge having staff brave enough to wake her at 2am or on her being willing to get out of bed to stop children from being kidnapped. In fairness, if you work for Trump this is probably a general misconception you have about other human beings.
I don't care! So many things now people are like "you can't succeed unless you do What Everyone Else Is Doing" and I'm tired of the homogenization I *like* little text based social media! It's neat! I would love if forums came back, personally! Let cool but unpopular things exist!
It is insane to me that the richest man in the world is using his global megaphone to call for millions of British people to be rounded up and deported (including my family) and somehow this isn’t even news.
Was the strategy here really "maybe we'll get a judge who doesn't give a shit?" Because it seems to have backfired spectacularly.
So glad to see him reelected, and y'know *in* office since they literally changed the locks on him I wrote about this town last year bc there was a lawsuit to make it have elections, which coincidentally stopped around when the Voting Rights Act was passed 🙃 ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...
This seems important:
And I think J.B. Pritzker, as a Man of Size who likes to eat, can make this pitch really well. Every time he visits a place, get a video of him chowing down on something delicious, like a political Man vs. Food.
A Labor Day reminder: today there isn't a single city, metro area, or state in the U.S. where a full-time minimum-wage worker can afford a modest 2-bedroom apartment. Millions of people with jobs—even multiple jobs—aren't safe from homelessness in this country.
going donald duck mode for 24 hours in honor of labor day. sailor shirt only. i will strut around and cuss out a dog and get so mad i hop up and down and smoke comes out of my ears. i will sit on a towel as well for hygiene
we've got to stop using the social network as a network to be social on, and start thinking of it more as doing an unpaid marketing and customer service job for a tech startup, so we can recruit more people to do that unpaid marketing and customer service job with us
Bluesky's business success is the province of Jay and the management team, not us. And not just because that is literally their job, but because trying to get everyone on this site to Just Be Nice is a fool's errand.
This is the new "can we stop calling them skeets?" and it is just as effective in getting everyone on this site to give you a giant raspberry
Honestly I just put them away because it's good for her to dig them all out again. The last thing we want is a bored Lily!
Drew Ensign is gonna be a name we don't forget
doing this shit to children is just incomprehensible on so many levels. may we someday know the names of everyone involved right down to the people physically grabbing these kids.
This was incredible, important lawyering from National Immigration Law Center (@nilc.org) over the past 24 hours. Here's their case page: www.nilc.org/litigation/l... Here was the statement from Efrén Olivares, NILC VP of litigation, from earlier today regarding the TRO:
Need to start collecting ICE helmets to play like a xylophone
Thankfully this is a pretty narrow target to hit with your life choices, takes extraordinary dedication to being shitty
My car's name is Claire and tell her she's doing great even after 250k miles but if she started talking back I think I would stop. Too weird.
Get well, Mr. Mayor. Whoever did this is dethpicable.
Lily really resents me putting all her toys away so she has to immediately dump out the toy buckets
‘presidential confidante dies of radiant damage’
He's spending the year dead for tax purposes
President Trump insists that nowhere in the Constitution does it require him to be alive to be president.
Just DMed you
Drew Ensign has been made slightly famous by these court appearances and I hope it haunts his professional career until he dies
does Drew Ensign go home to his wife every night and say “hi honey, I had a great day lying to the court so that the US government could murder children”? I mean how exactly do you even begin to live with yourself
When your whole caper turned on the belief that federal judges don't work on Labor Day weekend
I was being nice! You should have seen my deleted drafts
Don't go with a cop to a second location Don't get into a submarine piloted by the rich guy who owns it Don't get into any kind of vehicle with Rudy Giuliani behind the wheel
The chance that Rudy was not legally drunk during this incident is roughly the same as Stephen Miller going a full day without pleasuring himself to photos of children in chains
Was the sex worker okay though
So, DUI and solicitation then
Christ, what an asshole
Not from the Onion. Posted this morning by the Commissariat for the Political Fidelity of the Working Class (aka US Department of Labor)
This sounds like a pure shitpost but is actually an 100% accurate description of a policy proposal by actual people in a position of influence
Because DC traffic wasn't dangerous enough
Drunk driving is very bad
Who wants to start a pool on his BAH?
Get the hell off Substack before you literally can’t anymore without blowing up your business
Yes, I had the same idea! They even come in like six different frame colors so each room gets a color to help me keep them from migrating slowly all into one or two places
I dunno about you guys but if work woke me up at two in the morning to stop fascists from kidnapping a bunch of little kids, I would not be very patient with the fascists lawyers
Anyone who asks this question is required to get the essential liberty/temporary safety quote tattooed on their head backwards so they have to read it in the mirror every day
Business at DC restaurants and bars and the like has plummeted. To whatever degree crime is "down," if any, it's because people in MD and VA are literally too scared to come into DC, and those in DC are being terrified into staying home and off the streets as much as possible.
His wife's murder during a supposed botched assassination attempt by the Dixie Mafia was a huge part of his myth iirc It's going to turn out he was mobbed up the whole time too and it was just a struggle for territory.
The other thing is, in a time when Donald Trump has won two presidential elections I simply don't believe that a candidate has to do this sort of too clever by half triangulation to win! If you're not good enough at politics to avoid throwing your own constituencies under the bus then don't run
It's Maria Montessori's birthday so do whatever you want, there are no gods, no kings, no rules, you are imprisoned only by your lack of imagination.
Do they mostly move by track-laying vehicle? If not, it's not mechanized!
Did a panel today about why people still like INVADER ZIM after all this time despite it being a known fact the show causes mental deformities and almost always gives viewers ‘stupid eyes.’ Pretty good turnout and the lights made it easier to ignore their hideous eyes.
I do like whipping my glasses off dramatically or removing them slowly before I rub my eyes in disappointment
When I was a little kid I thought "morgue" was pronounced "morgoo" because I thought "Murders in the Rue Morgue" was supposed to rhyme at the end
After the Flash Debacle I wonder if studios do more extensive background checks on potential franchise stars now
The UTSA Roadrunners have one of the best team names in college football
How dare you. That's our n-word.
Sounds like the opportunity for some fun liberty ports to me
Property guys gonna property guy
Typical bigoted fleshbags
This is discrimination against my robotic and cybernetic children
Another common response, but I have to disagree. Imagine a man whose brain is shutting down. He’s shouting to an assistant as his caddie takes a ball that he just shanked into the woods and drops it closer to the hole. He’s shouting about sidewalks. It might sound off due to all that, but it’s him.
this is quite a split screen:
Glorious
Hold on, "JD Vance loyalists"?
The problem is, this IS governing for them
'democrats are obliged to govern but republicans get a pass' is bizarrely the mentality of both establishment institutions and a lot of leftist posting.
True, the Light Brigade found out about that the hard way
william hockett was a forcibly conscripted nc quaker willing to face a firing squad before helping slavers. the last line in his diary entry after deserting goes so hard the captain ordered two men to take me to the ranks forty or fifty yards away, but I did not feel free to walk in that direction
Or the changes in doctrine necessitated by rifled weapons
It's funny because "trying desperately to be like Napoleon" led to more bad generalship than probably any other influence
Dear Americans, welcome to the thrilling game of ‘Did this dictator die or just disappear for a day?’ We’ve been playing it with Putin and Lukashenko for decades. Enjoy the suspense.
All this tells me is that there are thousands of unguarded crosswalks in Florida that could all be rainbow-ified
Just as My Name Is Earl taught us
The ol evolutionary warranty expires about then I guess
