Update on our accidental cat - he's settling in quite nicely and has informed me that he's ready for his closeup
Illinois Gov. Pritzker ahead of Trump National Guard deployment: "To Chicagoans... Look out for your communities and your neighbours. Know your rights. Film things that you see happening... Authoritarians thrive on your silence. Be loud for America."
If it’s under Title 32 authority, the Texas guard remains under state control. That would mean that one state is deploying armed forces into the territory of a non-consenting state. And that’d clearly be a violation of the principle that states are co-equal, territorially limited sovereigns.
He’s still dead, in our hearts.
We know it's him because the American media will totally give him a pass for that comment.
Here we go. Massie discharge petition with help from Ro Khanna, filed.
The reason a guy like Nate Silver won't ever come to Bluesky is because everyone here knows who he is and hates what he's become. Guys like Silver can't deal with that.
Alabama allows mail-in voting, too. 🤔
Joe Biden was bullied out of the presidency because of his speech disability but this vile creature hasn't EVER been able to string together a coherent sentence for all the love or money on the planet and nobody seems to care.
Not sure if it's obvious how bananas this is. The usual tariff argument is that it helps producers and hurts consumers (by more). But Trump's tariffs don't even help (most) producers. It's genuinely difficult to design a tariff regime that helps less than 4% of manufacturers!
Today at The Reveal I revisited Mike Nichols' searing CARNAL KNOWLEDGE and the scandal that surrounded its release (including an obscenity case that went all the way to the Supreme Court):
This show is a masterpiece
As Trump was threatening to militarily invade and occupy the city I live in, the leader of the opposition party offered to find common ground with him. I fucking hate these people. They are worse than useless.
This is scary but I'm taking The Film Maven off Substack and have transferred to Ghost. Not only does this give me complete ownership of my work, but also means I won't continue to lose money to Substack and Apple. I lay everything out for Subscribers here. thefilmmaven.substack.com/p/the-film-m...
LAPD sergeant Vazquez falsely claimed press are NOT exempt from dispersal orders — a direct violation of both California law (PC 409.7) as well as a federal restraining order. He said the federal restraining order “didnt matter right now.” He then refused to ID himself.

I wrote a book about the Army and the Department of War in early America, and these kind of takes make me want to claw my eyes out
I went long about Netflix’s Fit for TV docuseries, the fatphobic legacy of The Biggest Loser, and the complex rise of GLP-1s for my comrades @theflytrapmedia.com.
“I’m the problem, it’s me.”
We're going to have so much fun! I think I'll have a Bitching About Dem Leadership Corner. Perhaps with a soapbox. www.wonkette.com/p/should-you... @johngcole.bsky.social
Alex Edelman plays Adam Cooper on “The Paper”, the new NBC show set in the universe of “The Office”. He is also an award winning standup and writer! He talks to Bullseye about UK vs. US comedy audiences, and how he hopes “The Paper” will make viewers feel good. Listen now: buff.ly/UMTU2JN

"bluesky is dying" that's cool man. i go on here to make funny posts with my friends
it's giving sale at hobby lobby
This is similar to the thing a bunch of folks did in Trump's first administration. They'd be like "Donald Trump is a lawless madman who violates the constitution at every turn in service of his Russian puppet masters. He will get us all killed. Oh heavens no I don't support impeachment, bad idea!"
But it is pretty cute! I also have a varmint who always interrupts me when I am trying to work.
You petty ghouls making fun of Trump’s health aren’t fit to change his freshly soaked-and-soiled diapers every time a door slams near him.
Look at that face!
Turned out he'd pushed a mug off the kitchen island and then pushed a tin of popcorn after it, probably trying to find out whether he could get food he didn't like or want out of either of them, either. This is all new behavior, and apparently just one more way in which he is determined to be Worst.
This really says it all: journalism relies on experts to warn when expertise is under threat, at once justifying the Right's assault on science and making the defense of science a partisan project
COMING TO A CITY, SUBURB, TOWN NEAR YOU OCTOBER 18: NO KINGS 2. Spread. The. Word.
Well, well, well… I remember this book. Nobody ever cooked out of it but I remember the photos well
Pro tip for covering pregnancy-related arrests: don't use the word 'infant' before finding out what actually happened. More often than not, these are miscarriages, but outlets will repeat the language cops use - smearing women in the process www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Tropical storm warning? Flood watch? (Me in inland Central California)
This sure takes its time with the fact that he was specifically encouraging people to assault anyone they believe to be trans using the women's room
I distinctly remember people tutscolding me when I said musk bought twitter for information warfare purposes lots of "you're over thinking it, it's not 4D chess" and "he tried to back out of the purchase at one poont so there's no way this could be true," and other weird comments
"Move fast and break things" but the things are kids and the people allowing tech bros to break them are educators.
"Biden was extremely weak and running him was a total catastrophe" Dude that's an 80-20 statement on Bluesky alone, wtf do your mentions look like
if you present them with evidence that women with college degrees have MORE kids and are more likely to get married (which is true) you'll be stunned to know that their views don't change
It sure seems like what happened was Republicans were convinced the Epstein files would bring down Democratic elites. Put huge pressure on DoJ to make that happen. DoJ looked at what they had and convinced RW influencers the files really only implicate Trump. And everyone dropped it.
The anti-Zohran SuperPACs are back. So the SuperPAC killer is back too. As MAGA billionaires pledge "hundreds of millions" to sabotage the Mamdani mandate, DREAM enters its next form: Don’t Re-elect Eric or Andrew for Mayor. actblue.com/donate/dreamfornyc?refcode=b
Okay hang on. As usual Rowling is saying the quiet part out loud not just for the UK but for the US. There’s a bunch of people that demand solidarity from trans folks yet continue to treat the idea of trans rights as a “luxury belief.”
Amazing turnout for the Workers Over Billionaires Labor Day Rally in Concord yesterday with @sanders.senate.gov and @rokhanna.bsky.social! Let's keep this energy going! #politics #nhpolitics #bernie #workersoverbillionaires
DSA won’t rule out primary challenge to Hakeem Jeffries 👀
Vinay Prasad had YouTube censor Jonathan Howard’s channel because he didn’t like how it made him look. A petty act by a vindictive, unqualified hack. And more evidence that these frEe sPeEcH warriors have always been petty censors out to silence criticism that they just can’t cope with.
Cannot wait for my commute home to listen!

NONE of these plans are any more extreme than what Trump is currently doing with the help of the Supreme Court. If Trump can shut down the Department of Education and CFPB, President AOC can shut down ICE. If Trump can kill green energy projects, President Newsom can kill the fossil fuel industry.
The next Democratic president should declare that the National Emergencies Act and Article II of the Constitution allow him to: •admit D.C. and Puerto Rico as states •abolish ICE •grant citizenship to any immigrant •disband the 5th Circuit •expand the Supreme Court Seriously: Why the hell not?
Trump crash economy
i am excruciatingly online and i have never seen one of these memes, and i assume they’re primarily created by white supremacists for recruiting purposes
pretty remarkable to see how well this political boycott has shaken out; that being said Canada already had many better whiskey options than Jack

Heaven.
This is not reporting. This is propaganda.
Grocers were busted for maple-washing (listing products as Canadian when they weren't, which is an affront to consumers trying to support Canadian businesses), but they weren't fined. We take our boycott of US goods seriously. So should the federal government. #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/busines...
I just remembered I loathe JKR and she’s unbelievably getting even worse.
U.S. Army veteran Bajun Mavalwalla II has been charged with “conspiracy to impede or injure officers” for participating in a mild anti ICE protest where he wasn't even arrested. The current acting U.S. attorney, Pete Serrano, has described the J6 rioters as “political prisoners.”
What the fuck is going on man this is insane shit. Is he taking a rocket to go live on the moon or something. Is that the Tuesday announcement
Before the Telluride screening, Panahi did a Q&A about his career. At the end of talk, he asked for the house lights. He wanted to record a birthday message for his friend, who’s imprisoned in Iran. The entire crowd sung happy birthday while Panahi recorded. Everyone cried.
Look at that beautiful blue sky! ⏰☠️ Wake Up Dead Man, the new Benoit Blanc mystery. Thanksgiving in theaters, 12/12 on Netflix. More to come very soon…
go fash, lose cash
It’s important that we stay away from Blueskyist thought and instead look to people proposing smart sensible and popular ideas that win
Another “who journalists talk to” point I think matters here, esp w respect to crime: Major papers rarely interview those actually affected by crime and enforcement. They’ll interview cops, who obv favor toughness. They’ll interview DA, who mostly are self-servingly/selection-bias the same.
The argument is: We're all meant to sacrifice a bit, so that tariffs can help rebuild American manufacturing. Let's ask American manufacturers whether they're helping.
the only Trump announcement I care about is one he won't be able to give 🤷🏻♀️
NYT is just the New York Post with fancy text and font part eleventy billion
Amnesty International has issued a statement condemning the arrest of key spokespeople from Defend Our Juries and raids on their homes as “a blatant attempt to muzzle freedom of speech” and a “terrifying example of the UK authorities' willingness to use authoritarian practices to silence dissent"
Finland has this and low birth rates! I’m not kidding, it is literally a global phenomenon.
Youth pastor cat.
Great insights into how reporters use "centrist" consultants to divide Dems. Just gotta put the note in that Democrats shouldn't blow the "crime" dog whistle, no matter what any consultant said. But they must talk about safety, something the Trump regime and GOP policies all threaten.
Googled this guy and came up with this. He's like a pompous Paper Chase character.
very funny to talk about how Dems need to be normal and appeal to normal voters and to phrase this as a complaint about the microblogging site you don't like
everyone get some rest so we can have energy for tomorrow’s horrors
Solid film-industry reporting going on here
Kid3 went to her first frat party and pronounced it the most disgusting thing she had ever seen. She’s got a good head on her shoulders.
Smith is a professional bullshit artist and union buster, so, disappointed but not surprised, I guess
Kurosawa and Mifune had that shit on
👎 Less good: the bill would slash CDC's budget by $1.7 billion, a -19% cut. From the Dems' summary: democrats-appropriations.house.gov/sites/evo-su... CALL YOUR REP. Also call for RFK Jr. to resign for his ongoing coup of CDC.

Fingers crossed 🤞

It's Ginger Cat Appreciation Day. I sure miss my OT, who crossed the rainbow bridge this time last year. He was a stray I took in as an older boy, and he was so cuddly and full of personality. He was one of a kind. 🌈 💔
My dad is 73 years old and it's hard to get him to commit to a monthly retiree poker group.

fun day ❤️💪
wow
Okay so now you got me thinking.
"I'm dead"
Waited for this by @emilystjams.bsky.social for forever and it was so very worth it. Book 61 of #ACWBookSky2025 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommend!
Proof of life: Trump seen leaving the White House for his morning unconstitutional.
What a load of shit and I believe I am being generous.
My god. We finally have WWE Marxism.
