The Free State of Florida aiming to become nation’s leader in vaccine-preventable illness and death. MAHA! www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...
Read the full speech. Weird how slavery never happened. Nor the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments. You’d never know Phyllis Wheatley, or Frederick Douglass, or Fannie Lou Hamer, or Dr. King were a part of our collective national history. Odd. I’m sure just an accidental omission from the Nazi Senator.
I enjoyed this. And what an infectious laugh. ❤️ "Reporter left speechless after witnessing Japan's new $70 million Maglev train in action at 310 mph"
Alarming stuff from @ajc.com about local law enforcement coordination with ICE. Arm yourself with knowledge. “After arresting people, an ICE agent says friends or family members coming to claim vehicles could pose another opportunity: ‘(W)e can turn picking up the vehicle into another arrest.’”
Tbh still dreaming about my ume takana onigiri from Onibaba. Pickled plum and mustard greens. Unreal.
“well this is certainly a bold departure from political norms!” as they are marched to the gulag
I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable
In a vacuum, that might sound good and noble. But these self-anointed guardians of bipartisanship and “unity” are radically failing the moment because they can’t or won’t grapple with the fact that “normalcy” politics is simply not an adequate response to an acute democratic emergency.
There is an institutionalized culture of “unity” nostalgia that characterizes much of the Democratic Party. It is a core part of Democratic political identity that the responsibility to uphold the norms, protect the institutions, demonstrate bipartisanship lies almost exclusively with them.
The sooner everyone recognizes this man as the leader of the Democratic Party, the better
This week’s @channel6.bsky.social newsletter is gold: “The stadium is empty and the champions of the Armed Forces Bowl have you in the kill room with the plastic sheeting up and everything.” Welcome to the NCAA, Bill.
He’s nominating himself for the Nobel He’s building a confederate statue at the WH He’s paving over another garden
Best case scenario it’s another gaudy (sorry, “beautiful”) WH renovation.
15 year ago at least a buddy played golf with him, Smoltz, and Tiger. $10K a hole. Can’t imagine what they’re betting in this inflationary economy.
Many are saying.
Seattle in August is a bucket list experience, imo. Yes, I am posting this after onigiri at Onibaba. It is 61 degrees. I can’t go back to Atlanta.
It’s Labor Day but one place where there is no work is the cold vacuum of the eternal and unending cosmos where you can kick back and relax at Space Hotel, which is opening in only 15 months!
trying to imagine firefighters getting dispatched to this house and the absolute nightmare that would be
The throw by Beck is so bad that the safety goes for the interception, which allows the receiver to make an incredible catch instead of possibly having his life ended
If it’s the 4th quarter and there are time outs left, WATCH OUT. Shit is about to lead to a fatality.
The way I am pulling for Marcus Freeman and ND right now.
I don’t have the tinfoil on my head yet, but I’ve definitely pulled it out of the pantry and set it on the counter.
Woke Guy Fieri. Maybe not the hero we want, but the hero we need.
New plan: we get Obama to demand the death certificate
Every time they show the injury tent setting up, I have this image in my mind.
Having to remind myself I can appreciate the athleticism on the field without cheering for the respective coaches
Holy shit 🤣
My feed is currently a titanic struggle between political BlueSky and college football BlueSky and I am willing it toward the latter

Hell yes. UGA gonna send Agent Muschamp on yet another assignment to destroy a SEC program.
Yo, DeBoer might for real not make it through a full second season.
@juliusgoat.bsky.social check this shit out. LMAO. Fascism is so cruel and so, so very dumb.
The DeSantis administration currently has at least seven Florida Highway Patrol troopers just on anti-chalk duty: Two watching from a Dunkin Donuts next door and five more parked in the lot right behind them.
Why does this look like sad Greg Kinnear?
We’re gonna be posting this one until 2055
Georgia was favored by 38.5. This game is not over.
👀👀👀
About to tell people my namesake is Zachariah Branch. What a debut for the Dawgs.
LORE KING
The vibes of this team are 👌. Two offensive drives in and I’m already making reckless prognostications about how the season will unfold.
Is that… my Dawgs scoring on an opening drive? It can’t be.
Pausing my college football posting to share this welcome news.
The world’s greatest outlaw country band is back on tour today. Go Dawgs.
Dads everywhere weeping they can’t get pedantic during a football game anymore.
This tracks because he’ll probably be in the Bay Area working for Warby Parker anyways after this
I know enough about watching college football to know that if the announcers are talking about their kids and hobbies, shit is not going well for you
Read that again and tell me he’s not attracted to the stone patio
Oh shit ICE has gone international
"FIVE-STAR QB STRUGGLING? BENCH HIM FOR A 26 YEAR OLD TWO STAR JUCO QB WHO CAN CRUSH A TWELVE PACK"
@celebrityhottub.bsky.social does Shutdown have sources who can confirm? Many are saying
Ted Cruz is there isn't he?
It’s giving Ozymandias
I still imagine the NCAA portal as a video game crate open.
@edsbs.bsky.social is Arch Manning the Dallas Cowboys of NCAAF?
Is McAfee getting sandbagged on these kicks? Because that kid left no doubt for $250K. (Also, if so, long live the con against McAfee and ESPN—go on and get paid, kids)
Feels ripe for the Hamburgler to jump timelines and lead a palace coup.
President stills fits the bill. And in the spirit of this post about growing up, we called it “Butthole” in high school because we were dumb adolescents (laudatory).
Pre-Kirby UGA and post 28-3 Falcons fandom have prepared me. I’m a believer in Mike Mac, too.
Gonna be a member of the 12s before this is all over. What a city.
@proptermalone.bsky.social getting my first Seattle experience.
“Don’t run away from what you believe. Plan the flag and move on.”
Truly a courageous human. This honestly isn’t a bad idea.
Well I’m glad we’re only at “pray without ceasing,” when we get to “eat ashes like bread and mingle your drink with years” we’ll be well and truly fucked.
YES. It’s about becoming more human. Not learning to be a better friend of capitalism.
I took this picture myself at the CDC protest today. These are among the hundreds of bullet holes in CDC headquarters windows, visible from the street. I heard today that the admin has no urgent plan to fix these windows. Imagine being a CDC employee going to work under these conditions
CDC staff with more integrity than most “elites” in this entire country. Thank you for your principled stand.
Spouse about to be at an AAP conference. Very first seminar: vaccine preventable diseases. Lord help us. Grateful for the medical providers standing in the gap while this regime absolutely takes a torch to public health and American healthcare in general.
Fighting for the second definition of democracy means fighting to secure a future where democracy remains possible. That’s a fight worth having. Can’t wait to see where else this book goes.
Relying solely on the *will of the people* means democracy self-defeating for it could end itself through a single election—as it is doing in the US. But democracy meaning the ongoing *right* to collective organizing and decision-making among *equals* means democracy should be self-reproducing
Loving this from @ositanwanevu.com in The Right of the People: “Democracy isn’t about *the will* of the people winning out in a given collective decision. It’s about *the right* of the people to govern themselves through collective decision-making in the first place” (p. 68)
With the AJC dropping its print edition, I feel compelled to share one of the greatest moments in print design history

Bill Cassidy ought to resign in shame, too (if he were capable of experiencing such a thing).
Is it because this is where it all went wrong?
Finally watched Sinners. Is Ryan Coogler even capable of making a bad film? I mean from Fruitvale Station to Black Panther to now. Goodness.

There can’t be any gun restrictions because we have to protect against federal government tyranny, and if kids get shot we just have to live with it. Also the President can send troops to cities because the federal government can do whatever it wants. These two ideas are consistent and reasonable.
The Croque Monsieur. Why? It’s the sandwich equivalent of a slap if thrown correctly. Egg Salad as backup because its odor is a banned chemical agent. Finally, the meatball. Individual projectiles with a bread sword flourish.
Stoked to get this from @bittersouth.bsky.social
The DC Subway is about to have its best quarter ever.
Or, would be

FINALLY THE PRESIDENT GETS TOUGH ON THE FASCIST PARAMILITARY TERRORIZING DC… Oh, just receiving news this applies to hoagie throwers only.
Does that include the masked fascists terrorizing DC residents or just the civilians resisting military occupation?
Ofc, with a whole line of hamas electronic accessories (everyone knows that’s where they make the real money—not on the electronics themselves)
If you see some journalists at a hospital, you might just have to bomb them in case they have a hamas camera. Bombing a hamas camera will remind you that there’s probably a hamas camera bag and tripod set-up, too, so you’ll want to bomb the hospital again just for good measure.
Well perhaps the camera had a tripod. Had to bomb that, too.
Y’all ever feel like working from home is a little bit like house arrest?
Has the bonus effect of just complete humiliation. There’s a reason that shit started duels.
Wild when you layer evangelical Christianity over this. I grew up adjacent to circles promising masked government agents would be snatching people from homes, churches, and schools under the authority of a tyrannical president demanding absolute authority. They just had the party wrong.
You could build a whole syllabus off this one sentence: “But ‘appeasement hasn’t worked.’” You don’t say. www.wsj.com/economy/cent...
At this point if our Great Khan wants to give himself a military title and start walking around in fatigues, who am I to judge?
