I know media literacy is at an all-time low, but some people are getting paid for spewing nonsense like this. Please... if you only read one classic this year, MAKE SURE IT'S FRANKENSTEIN!

my dad has taken up baking in retirement and, realizing he didn’t know his neighbors, started going door to door with fresh bread. he’s made tons of friends. a music producer who now invites him over to listen to old records. a guy in the final stages of a terminal illness who isn’t alone anymore.
ten years too late.
"It's not alarmist to say that these are goons, this is a secret police that is going into our cities to kidnap people, abduct people off the streets" @katmabu.bsky.social on the dangers of ICE agents and potentially troops roaming the streets of Chicago.
Smooth move from Paige Bueckers.
Spoken like a guy who gets paid by Peter Thiel. Oh, wait... finance.yahoo.com/news/polymar...
another eejit who obviously forgot about the Heinsohn-Havlicek-Cowens-White teams. two championships in 74 and 76. won 68 games in 73, done in by injuries. there were great teams between Russell and Bird. ownership screwed it up. go read about John Y. Brown. he was a complete asshole.
Crazy idea: Maybe we should all tune out the corporate media, tune in to PBS and NPR, and donate to keep them alive.
you can't cross wealth and big business if you accept their money to get elected. quid pro quo. that's why we have to end Citizens United and get money and lobbyists out of government. they are anti-democracy.
should already be home. stayed at least one term too long.
MAGA is immune to hypocrisy and shame. they have none. we need better weapons.
Meiselas: Xi Jinping and Modi and Putin and all these world leaders are gathering in China, and they're laughing. You know when Donald Trump says the world was laughing at us — the world was not laughing at us before. The world is quite literally laughing at us right now.
that's tough. I did the shingles on its own. knocked me on my arse.
I'm retired. people paid their way when I was young.' I'm happy to pay mine now.
@paulinsc.bsky.social #Discover #MentalHealth #America #USA What could he possibly be planning? Trump needs to be tried for TREASON and sentenced to DEATH for the sake of not only the United States, but for the sake of the entire World. www.yahoo.com/news/article...
True, but step one is severing ties with AIPAC and Israel.
I read his "On The Edge". Nate Silver is another of those narcissist assholes who is afflicting America.
exactly right. the MAGA bench for evil and incompetence is deep.
Nobody is waiting for the rapist to be 6 feet under more than I am, but the problems won't end. He has positioned an entire administration ready to ensure his legacy and Project 2025 stay in motion. Our misery and the demise of this country won't end with his death. He is just the puppet.
This is how they beat up on a minority they already despise to distract from guns being the #1 killer of US children. Pls read, comment, subscribe... johnfugelsang.substack.com/p/straight-w...
what a wimp. the moment anybody pushes back on his incoherent bullsh-t the relationship is over? disqualifying. unfit to lead. remove him.
we're there.
Geoff Bennett: You say that poetry is not useful, and that's exactly why we need it. Why? David Duchovny: "We want to get educated to be able to work, to have a job of some kind, which is great and it's necessary. But we've lost sight of educating a mind on how to think or a soul how to feel."
Absolutely not. Just my fervent wish.
no we don't want religion in schools. no sense teaching kids fictions and falsehoods. we do want to tax churches. especially mega churches and their pastors that promote the prosperity gospel.
Michelle Obama: Eat an apple! Eat some vegetables! Get some exercise! RFK Jr: Autistic people sit in the corner drooling because of vaccines! Let's ban all vaccines, bring measles back and have the survival of the fittest! American Media: Michelle Obama and RFK Jr. had the exact same agenda!
Trump has suffered a stroke. time to remove him. 25th amendment.
hey man I don't give a shit what Nate Silver says
The results were so secret that they were published for the entire world to see, even RFK Jr. But, as @jimalwine.bsky.social and I wrote back in February, “Kennedy, a science denialist, will never accept the real scientific evidence that vaccines are safe”.
f-ck furious. do something. they have the training, the skills, the tactics, and the hardware to do it. end this nightmare.
His ditty on Wernher von Braun was *chef’s kiss* m.youtube.com/watch?v=QEJ9...
You know what Trump's thinking about right now? Joe Biden, Barack Obama, and the Clintons... ...sitting in the front pew at Trump's funeral.
If you think I'm being a crass insensitive smartass about this now, wait until you see how I am if he actually does die.
playing some excellent defense lately. those young players will be a problem. #WNBA
This Labor Day, remember that Black Americans are the most overworked and underpaid group.
I believe that 99% of what RFK Jr. does is motivated by: 1. Protecting his ego and vanity. He must convince people vaccines are bad b/c he can’t be wrong. Endless photos of himself exercising b/c vanity. 2. Creating conditions for his law firm to increase profits from suing various companies.
I didn’t really need more evidence that RFK Jr is nuts and delusional.

This is brilliant and the most likely scenario I’ve read so far. Excellent investigative reporting Adam!! 💯
For those trying to gaslight about vaccinations during the pandemic, just remember: Every hospital in the world had a COVID unit No hospital had a vaccine side effects ward #medsky #covid #vaccinations
more proof that prayers don't work and no one is listening to popes.

During the Middle Ages science was treated with mistrust since its principles & discoveries contradicted church beliefs. Scientists were often killed. Science disproved the earth was flat & the center of the universe. Now we are turning over science to the Inquisition again.
It infuriates them but they do nothing. Refuse to go and contact these people. Know your rights as a service man or woman.

Leonard Leo is the Opus Dei asshole who groomed them and propped them up.
the world has taken a right wing turn. WTF is wrong with us?
this made me laugh. I'm glad I wasn't drinking anything. my wife and I are in the midst of re-watching "Outlander" series. I could hear that theme song. 😂 great trip!
Excellent display of truthful knowledge.
"We’re seeing a new concerted assault on free and fair elections, harkening back to the discredited efforts of the white supremacists in the Jim Crow south. He’s trying to rig the midterms and then of course beyond that the next presidential election in his political favour.” - Allan Lichtman

Peter Thiel is gathering the strings into his hands.
Who's the worst cartoon character? I vote Henry, the dad from Dennis the Menace. He's a mask deliberately invented to whitewash the identity of his creator, Hank Ketcham, one of the worst men to ever make comics. It's gonna take a thread.
One pillar of Stalinism was to put ideological zealots with no practical experience in charge of important things. The goal was to maintain Stalin's cult of personality - he could never "look bad". People starved

They are grabbing farmhands, cooks, nannies, mothers, janitors—many with no just cause. Meanwhile… Homan and Stephen Miller have personal business ties to for-profit-prisons Locking people up will be very lucrative for them 🤬 Evil never manifests itself worse than through religious convictions

impressive. well done!
Pete Rose is dead. Not in the Hall of Fame. Komrade Krasnov's skeeter is as wrong as their demented, incontinent rapist boss.
Just sayin’.
MO Gov Mike Kehoe is calling a special session to gerrymander the 5th District which encompasses Kansas City. He is specifically violating Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which bans any voting practice that denies or weakens the power of a racial minority to elect its preferred candidates.

www.tiktok.com/t/ZT6GvjPcr/ How in the HELL does any government lawfully deport 600 unaccompanied minors? Who does that? Who the fuck are we? What are we? What have we become?
It's WAAAAAYYYY more statistically probable that the Minneapolis shooter was traumatized throughout their life by trusted faith leaders of said Catholic institution than subjugation to so-called "woke gender ideology."
If he really does kick it, do not let the gop blame this all on him They wanted this too
Solar power is the cheapest electricity in history and in 2024 delivered 2/3rds of new capacity and 40% of new global generation. Yet myths, often politically motivated, are holding back its progress. @carbonbrief.org debunks 16 of of the biggest ☀️ myths👇 interactive.carbonbrief.org/factcheck/so...
Japan's fossil fuel share of electricity generation has just hit a record low, dropping below 60%; underscores the fact that no new fossil fuels are needed to maintain Japan's electricity supplies. www.reuters.com/markets/comm...
Listen closely…ovarian cancer whispers. #ovariancancerawarenessmonth
I’m still stunned a little bit every day that my country elected a rapist. It hurts my soul that the women who fought so hard for equal rights have to spend their golden years under this man’s regime. And they are out there protesting again. True patriots. Much respect. ✊
worse than that. they have given up on democracy. they think their billions are proof of brilliance well beyond their business successes. they are doing all they can to pull up the ladder behind them, reduce the rest of America to their serfs, and rule from their private fiefdoms.
Ghislaine Maxwell's deposition was not under oath. She was not video taped, which is very unusual for a deposition. And there are many cuts where they stopped the audio tapes so lawyers could confer with her off-the-record. None of that stuff is the way you do a deposition.
another narcissist billionaire bro who knows nothing about education, children, learning, or much else.
he's prolific. I didn't see Ken Burns, but I know what you mean about the end of Twain's life being sad. I could barely push myself through it. I've thought about "Grant" for years. I'll add it to my "to read" queue. thank you!
wow, that's impressive. I read "Hamilton" and liked it. Never imagined it would become a hip hop masterpiece. I haven't read "Grant" yet. I have to work up to Ron Chernow. he tests my concentration and stamina. there's "Washington", too! so much to look forward to.
I think things are beautiful and vibrant without fictional supernatural explanations. physics and reality are enough for me.
In the last 12 years, only 5 out of 5,729 mass shootings involved transgender perpetrators (Gun Violence Archive). That’s 0.087%. And yet, some choose to ignore facts and amplify hate. Hate was involved in 100% of these shootings. Don’t join the cause. So where does this hate come from?
The drivers who shout things at me as they pass me on my bike - staring at me rather than looking at the road - have a lot less to say when I catch up to them at the next light. Rolling up your window and making exaggerated "I can't hear you" gestures just shows you're a wimp. #bikesky #bikeTO
He raped young girls and he's going to die without suffering any consequences for it whatsoever. This is the problem with great concentrations of wealth.
I think maybe some folks need to be reminded that Ukraine is in this position because America fucked us out of have the tools that could have stopped everything from even starting. We need your help yes. You gave away our nukes. You promised to help and didn't.
Oooo what an original thought you have there. Here’s a new one: when they start building concentration camps and masked men start grabbing people off the streets of my city, IT IS FASCISM.
We all know, of course, the only good kind of fascist. I’m kinder than that, though. So I say arrest Musk, stick him in a dark hole somewhere. Nationalize SpaceX, stick RFK Jr in a psych ward, and put the rest of the admin on trial.

he and Peter Thiel are lining it all up, just as they planned.
you're right - I don't want to discuss with someone as idiotic as you. I'm not doing that - you are. dismissed.
yes, they can. there is no divine. so what does the claim of historical Jesus have to do with anything? proves nothing. be smarter.
yes, they are separate. there are miracles claimed in the Bible that are not resurrections. like Jesus curing the blind man. no, that does not have a supernatural explanation. you don't seem to be smart enough to grasp simple concepts. no wonder you're arguing in favor of the Bible.
"assisting" WTF?
