SNL should make Katie Zachariah a season-long bit where every week she gets fired from a new job. Press Sec this week, preschool teacher next week, barista, pipe fitter, just keep it going.

I don’t really game as much as I used to. I can still murder a Kaizo Mario level, though.

I mean… this is the FIRST time he attended the dinner as president during historic unpopularity and THIS happens? I’m not a big conspiracy fella but COME ON.

2 weeks ago I gave a talk at Microsoft about how understanding tech is less important than understanding people and I used the Metaverse as a negative example.

Meta is shutting down its VR metaverse on June 15th.

This piece of shit has the audacity to colonize Puerto Rico and then call a native Puerto Rican a “fake American citizen”.

These fucking losers…

KGET 17 News@kgetnews.bsky.social

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) on Thursday said House Democrats will demand a ban on the deportation of American citizens as a condition of winning their support for legislation funding the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Already this year I have tickets to see Trauma Ray, Glixen, Knifeplay, Lucid Express, Julie, Fleshwater, and both nights of Slide Away NYC w/ HUM headlining. Already a 10/10 concert year.

I was raised in a very conservative religious family and we had a TV Guardian which was a device that would read the captions, mute the show or movie, and replace the bad words. I grew up watching the Jerk Van Gay Show

Oh rolling stones ...

Put Trump in a room with a handsome, charming person and he melts. If we can get Hasan in the Oval Office somehow we’ll get universal healthcare.

gotta remember that donald is surrounded by mutants with negative charisma every day so mamdani, another new york boy like himself, is like a breath of fresh air

Lots of people trying to get me to care about this but I couldn’t possibly give a fuck. Tear the whole thing down.

Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU

Not exaggerating when I say this is the first time I’ve felt hope since Bernie’s Nevada win in 2020

what’s funny is that if pro-cuomo centrist democrats were less myopic they might see that mamdani was running the kind of campaign that could help rebuild the party brand — accessible with an outsider persona and a focus on “kitchen table” issues.

So, basically “you didn’t say Simon Says”. I wish when the chips were down and it was time to stand on principle, we had one (1) leader who pushed back with equivalent force.

Where do we defeat fascism? That’s right: in the marketplace of ideas. #imSTILLwithher

FYI, folks from Bluesky. Reporters at The NYT, among other news organizations, are now generating a giant wave of accountability stories about the new Trump era. Reading these stories, sharing them, is a form of accountability as well. It is a form of participatory democracy too. Substance matters.

The very fact that there are jobs where the pay can be slashed in half and the guy doesn’t immediately quit means there are people who make way too much money.

An INVERSE correlation? Wouldn’t that mean the more fluoride you get, the higher your IQ?

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

RFK Jr: "We found that there's a direct inverse correlation between fluoride exposure and low IQ in children. So the more you get, the stupider you are."

Just watched the latest episode Everybody’s Live with John Mulaney and he had Ayo Edebri, Tina Fey, and Conan O’Brien on but when Chuck Tingle called in, I was like “THE Chuck Tingle?!?”

I worked at the Marine Corps University when Gorka was there. NO ONE respected him. Everyone thought he was a joke. And his head is freakishly huge in person.

Ken Klippenstein@kenklippenstein.bsky.social

Trump's counterterrorism czar Sebastian Gorka says Americans critical of deportations like Abrego Garcia's are providing "material support" to terrorists — a felony crime. www.kenklippenstein.com/p/trumps-cou...

Obama coming in hot! It’s like we’re at a Yemeni wedding.

Barack Obama@barackobama.bsky.social

Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act. With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

If you see this, post a game with a 10/10 soundtrack. The soundtrack to Florence is joyful and heartbreaking and hopeful and just flat out beautiful. Just a piano, a cello, and some occasional percussion.
