Ossoff: "It's been extraordinary to see the Speaker of the House reduced to lying in order to cover up sex crimes"
The president probably blew up a boat smuggling migrants, not drugs, and this story is just going to go away tomorrow when he does something even worse, isn’t it?
There’s more competence in the senior ranks of Venezuelan leadership at this point but probably true.
I’m all for being a hack and milking the goose like bedbug Bret Stephens but even that wasn’t enough for Bari.
once again, I have serious doubts the military will at any point refuse to carry out any but but the most batshit, illegal orders, and even then. given events so far.
One billion guys is the confluence of @davidjroth.bsky.social and MattY that nobody ever asked for or needs but dammit, it just might work
One billion guys
If only I could read about how zoning reform would fix this but alas I don’t read MattY anymore.
The Trump administration in a nutshell (from www.nytimes.com/2025/09/03/u...)
Go back and read her dispatches from Australia when she was trying to get fired by the NYT. Boring, shallow, low effort. Like all of her writing. McArdle and Sullivan are much better writers and they suck shit. There used to be crank reactionary writers that could write at least.
He’s no Taijuan Walker, that’s for sure
I’m not sure Nola could get a 12 year old out at this point
Who’s gonna run the bullshit university?
DC getting eric adams at the trade deadline is a huge win now move for the city. especially if we can move him to a secondary position and a powerless admin appointee bench role. new york also getting to clear payroll and move their rebuild window forward makes this win-win
really kind of amazing how early on Looney Tunes realized the problem Florida was going to be
I don’t believe that we have any real idea beyond anecdotal information of what we are doing abroad with our greatly expanded special ops people. Is that wrong?
That is almost certainly true, yes
Do we only assassinate people with drones?
Do you think this stopped under Biden?
What I will say about this video is that the people that look at this and don’t just see a defenseless fishing boat full of people getting murdered by death from the sky are already lost to reason and democratic freedom. I know America does this as policy but it’s terrible and it will come home.
This will come home too. Sooner than most people think at this rate.
The only thing unusual about this is that they are publicly bragging about it. We do this every day in several countries and have done so for over a decade now.
Or Delta night raids for that matter
Jeffries is no Chamberlain. Chamberlain actually fought for his country.
If America does it, it can’t be illegal
Lethal force against a civilian vessel in international waters is a war crime if not in self-defense. If not in self-defense, only non-lethal actions, such as warning shots or disabling fire, are allowed. "Not yielding to pursuers" or "suspected of carrying drugs" doesn't carry a death sentence.
All I want is for everyone to hate these fucking fascists as much as I do. That's really all that remains of my politics.

I'm at the White House for the big announcement and we can hear someone in the back room yelling "CLEAR!" Not sure what that's about
lol, Todd Hollandsworth is just Todd. He’s the ur-Todd
I like my guys to have a theme
deez guys ar feyst ehs helwl
The Aussie press not holding back when it comes to its coverage of neo-Nazis.
Ditto.
The synth hits like a fucking lead balloon too
Bill kinda looks like a horned up frog
Wishing all the parents out there good luck on their new class WhatsApp chats
Really taken with the idea of someone at an Oasis show, sometime on this tour, learning that Donald Trump has died by having Noel announce the news and then being like "right, then, this one's called 'Some Might Say.'"
This is why Isaac Chotiner gets treated like Socrates for asking basic follow-up questions
500 post thread on if it’s legal in New York to hold a class back from recess for 10 minutes to finish a project because they were talking and not paying attention. Was the morality of ‘collective punishment’ debated at length? Friend, you know it was. The wonders I have seen.
People that complain about DNC fundraising texts have no idea what true horror is.
Jesus Christ why would you do this? I haven’t thought about in two months.
We no longer call it ‘micropenis’ from here on out it is Bone-Petite.
Oh God, just imagine those bare feet…
no matter your politics it’s disrespectful to joke about someone’s death. don’t say rudy giuliani died from driving his car into a wall painted to look like a tunnel and all his clothes flew off in the crash and then a sixteen wheeler semi truck ran over his dick and balls. don’t say stuff like that
Stott redemption double did it for me
pound for pound probably the most encouraging win the Phillies have had all year.
Jesus, where are they gonna have to go to find viable veins by December
Has my dog been barking prime numbers this whole time???

I can buy salsa macha at Wegmans now. They can call it whatever they want if that’s the tradeoff.

all the best windows software in history is called something like "joe's thing doer". it does the thing and nothing else and is available on a html website in plain text and takes up under a megabyte of space and uses default windows ui elements and will work until the heat death of the universe
happy labor day to all you workers and parasites
I feel like I fully understand the breadth and depth of the term “wanker” now
This Labor Day I am celebrating the workers at the Coleman plant in Wichita, Kansas, making these two identical coolers in 1990 and 1994 that are in perfect shape today, workers who have been fighting for union representation since it was stripped from them in 1989.
The Guardian has today printed the names, and where possible, images, of all the media workers killed in Gaza, as part of an international day of action involving more than 150 media organisations. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...
lol, I just spent 30 minutes trying to figure out how to log in to the 3rd or 4th iteration of the ESPN app. I would jump through hoops to pirate this garbage rather than put my password in 27 times in 10 minutes for the privilege of paying for a service I can’t use. These companies are trash.
I’ve said it before but truly cannot be overstated: we are living in a golden age for women’s weightlifting, globally
Just a normal night in DC, sitting on the couch watching Netflix and then having to go outside because 11 cops (FBI, HSI, “police” and MPD) stopped a car on my corner.
I think 182 year old research articles should be free I want to read about the man
But it might work for us!
The only through line between James Bond and modern ‘operators’ is that he would probably be half decent at human and drug trafficking.
DON’T STOP THINKING ABOUT TOMORROW
It’s absolutely not though. That’s just the box they selected.

Important News: the Frank’s RedHot Goldfish kick ass
Because each of these entities is wholly dedicated to helping facilitate literally any horrifying crime the Israeli government feels like committing. The simplest explanation is the right one.
Burning Man would be cool if they picked one billionaire to burn in the man at the end every year as God intended
"Gaza purse-snatching down 99%."
This story by #TimArango an embarrassment. This isn’t a crime strategy; it’s an authoritarian one. WTF is wrong with these reporters and editors? www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/u...
Business partner AND lawyer? Must have been serious
So many baguettes…
That’s an audible fuckin “LOL” from me dawg
NEW: A week or so ago, one federal agent kept popping up in videos from Trump's violent DC crackdown—so @jsweetli.bsky.social and I investigated. Turns out he's a 26-year-old US Parks Police officer, a lesser known law enforcement unit currently championed by Interior Sec. Doug Burnum. Our report:
Maybe it’s because I have a bad relationship with most of my family but I don’t think I could be jovial in the room with someone who is rooting on Trump at this point. I hate them and see them as bad people

This whole thing is great but the highlighted bit made me laugh out loud. 😂 Marlon on Snoop:
I spent ~8 months on the Gaza humanitarian response at USAID. My job and my career were destroyed by Trump and DOGE. At no point while attempting to pivot careers, getting LinkedIn Pro, and hoping Elon doesn't post my address on Twitter have I wished I could be part of the genocide apparatus again.
VA is a disaster right now. I generally don't trust the private sector with my healthcare, yet had wrist surgery three weeks ago at Baylor Scott & White in Dallas because VA couldn't handle it. First time I've had a major procedure or serious condition treated outside the military or VA since 1996.
The Trump administration is destroying what had been the best healthcare system in America. In this instance, I chose Community Care because the VA wait times for each step, from injury to surgery, were absurdly long. Of course, this is what Republicans want. They want to kill VA to privatize care.
We’ve updated our menu of options: Nobody, anywhere, needs to condemn Hamas.
I’ve never rooted for someone to get Bubonic plague before. I guess I’m growing as a person.
Just saw someone refer to Cheryl Hines as The Marvelous Mrs. Measles and 💀💀💀💀💀💀
RFK Jr. would be a bad Nazi. Not because he isn’t a dumb eugenicist, which he is, but because his insanity would directly cripple the war effort.
Say what you will about the tenets of National Socialism, they believed in the the germ theory of disease which is not something you can say about the current head of healthcare in the United States in 2025.
I will go out of my way at every step to not give Disney or ‘Skydance’ or whatever a penny. That’s easier than figuring out how to log on to whatever bullshit platform they are pushing this quarter.
Man, just tried to stream the LSU/ Clemson game with one of my many paid subscriptions while on vacation to no avail. I think I will pirate everything out of principle going forward. This is nonsense.
I have had it forced on me in the sense that we are required to watch a bunch of videos, do “A.I.” training and try to use CoPilot for regular tasks. To be honest, we always have SOME consultant productivity bullshit pushed every few years but this is the first time it seems to have legs.
