Texas loaded busses with desperate migrants and dropped them off in Chicago like trash in the middle of winter. We welcomed them into our communities. Now Texas is sending its National Guard to terrorize them on our streets. In our neighborhoods. What the fuck.
A gesture of kindness is never wasted.
A sea turtle surfacing by a MASSIVE school of rays near Clearwater, Florida a couple days ago. Another post into the BluSky void. Maybe 2 or 3 people will see this one and my time won't have been wasted. I'll keep trying a little longer. #nature #animals #amazing #wildlife #awesome #ocean
Fortunately for democracy, The New York Times is staffed by fking idiots.
Black women have every right to be furious. The irresponsible choices of white voters has for many of us, taken our livelihood with consequences for our homes, the education of our children, our ability to care for parents. It’s unconscionable. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/u...
Also, water is wet.
It’s an oversimplification, but I feel like a lot of that decision has to do with cheap, profit-driven ownership and the weak, shallow, status-chasing journalism cosplayers they employ to fill the space between ads. I’m sure it’s not always the case but the argument can be a compelling one.
“Pretending to be an adult is HARD!"
DOGE wasn’t a cost-cutting venture. It was a data mining operation for private interests. Trump opened the gates to the castle from inside for invaders with bad and greedy intent to plunder and exploit.

The New York Times, America's leading purveyors of journalism cosplay.
A worthwhile thread.
Farewell to Wisconsin's answer to Veruca Salt.
"Which side was the killer on?" The side of killing. Now ask which "side" wants everyone in America to have easy access to guns.
Are vaccines safe? Let's ask this guy who sounds like a dying refrigerator compressor

Ruin any book by adding "Tom Clancy's" to the title: Tom Clancy’s From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler
"Whatever legacy media is trying to pull with their kid glove approach to Trump, it’s clear it ain’t working in Iowa."
@resnikoff.bsky.social is right. So is @resnikoff.bsky.social.
There's a lot here with which one can agree, but one thing in particular that stands out: You're not going to agree with any candidate all the time.
I'm sure they'll tell you that isn't their job...
That decision to give up meat is looking better every day...
Tear off your own head! It's Elvis Costello's birthday! Reply with one of your favorite Elvis lyrics, won't you? www.youtube.com/watch?v=8P8c...

Amen.
John Bolton refused to testify at Trump's impeachment, preferring to sacrifice national security to make money with his book. He could have helped bring accountability and erode the mafia state, enduring that Trump and his cohort could not return. He did not, so now the mafia state comes for him.
Gotta say, I never had a crowd like that when I played catch with my grandpa...
May they live each day secure in the knowledge that they take a back seat to no one when it comes to selling out the disenfranchised.
I am reminded of the people who take a date to a coffeehouse to talk about how sensitive they are, then get up and go without leaving a tip.
It makes sense that where you see the name “John Roberts,” the words “mind-bendingly stupid decision” aren’t far behind.
I suspect Madame Vance would absolutely hate this story of a homeless man who is overlooked by those around him even though he might actually be the spirit of America. You're better than that, of course, so be sure to get your copy from an trustworthy bookseller. www.abramsbooks.com/product/uncl...
Doughywhiteguywho'saccomplishednothinginhislife says what?
We can only hope the next thing he said was through fewer teeth.
Perhaps you can open for my new band, Elvis Prestello.

You mean he isn't an animated corpse already?
By comparison, I enjoyed the Superman movie, but was surprised by that ending where the treasonous billionaire gets arrested and charged with crimes.
Way to go, sweetheart! Here's to many more happy birthdays!
This would be the same "media" that convinced themselves Paul Ryan was some kind of policy wonk.
A beautiful piece by @katieprout.bsky.social
You don’t win an award for being the most not-surprised, is the thing
Here is a picture of an otter. Feel free to look at it to help you get through the week.
Forty-four years on, and this record still has the power to thrill. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zqlv...
Hey, all you "I can't support genocide" folks who didn't vote, or voted third party, guess what: you supported the fuck out of genocide.
Then Grandpa Jones announces you’re what’s for supper.
Everyone who contributed directly to Trump winning needs to face reckoning.
Dear Fox: If you think such behavior is childish coming from a governor...
Yes, Rahm's an idiot.

I am routinely astonished at how many men can't quite perceive that not everything on Earth is intended as theirs for the taking.
I don't know what's happening in this video?? But, i support it... 👀😅🤣 #bluesky
"I'm not leaving without you!"
Sounds pretty clear to me...
Once again, congratulations to everyone who couldn't bring themselves to vote for a qualified woman. None of the last seven months could have happened without you!
A very worthwhile read. www.thenation.com/article/acti...
May those people live every day secure in the knowledge that the last seven months wouldn't have happened had it not been for them.
A podcast?!? Who even does that?!?
Funny, I remember reading something about Bernie Sanders in the news last year. Now, what was it...? www.wmtw.com/article/bern...
Any idea how much is expected tonight?
These people are journalists in the way that a five-year-old putting on their mother's shoes is an adult.
I am SO FUCKING TIRED of this "back off the poor widdle leftists, they weren't decisive"!THEY SAID I DESERVED TO LOSE RIGHTS BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO FEEL GOOD ABOUT MAKING A STAND ON THEIR BULLSHIT ISSUES! Stop fucking gaslighting me on this! They need to face social consequences and stigma for that!
The very definition of "emotional support animal."
But they're so hilarious to look at!
Huzzah! Thanks for spreading the word, Josie—and Alex, thanks for taking Josie's suggestion.
When he left office, it was known as the Ancient Deal.
They misspelled the name of Donald Troma, the Toxic Avenger President.
Man, I can't wait to see the column David Brooks writes about THIS...

"'Constituents'? Is that the stuff in white bread?"
Aaaaaaaaand I just threw up in my mouth.
Fantastic news!
We used to refer to him as Mayor Emmanuelle, a reference to an X-rated movie of the 1970s—because, as the joke goes, every day of his administration was like a porn script: Turn the page and there's a new way to get reamed.
What a perfect way to surf the web.
"This entire 'science is in crisis from within' narrative is a right-wing myth." Which makes it "important news" for the New York Times.
And also read Josie's very kind review, which is a corker.
Good luck, little friend.
The publisher's too polite to tell you, but it's the first anniversary of the return of UNCLE SAM, the graphic novel I did with Alex Ross that earned nice comments from Alan Moore, @billybragg.bsky.social and @moryan.bsky.social. Get yr copy at www.abramsbooks.com/product/uncl... or a good bookstore
Now if these people can just get comfortable with the idea of voting for a qualified woman...
It'd be disturbingly ironic if they were serving veal.

I know it’s not quite the response you were hoping for but that is like the most Florida arrest ever.
Smart! Raven loves winning Tic Tac Toe.
Someone finally answers the question that every writer asks: Is it possible to write a 140-word sentence that says absolutely nothing?
The food is terrible—and such small portions.
In case you needed yet another reason...
On the plus side, those voters were single-handedly responsible for eliminating genociOHWAIT...
Kamala Harris gave you every bit of messaging and every bit of foresight of what was going to happen in specific detail. If you didn't listen to her that's on you. That just shows you didn't want to listen. And I don't give a flying fuck what you have to say now about your bad decision making.
Viva Las Vegas!

Also the New York Times.
Particularly if there are other names that aren't redacted.
