*taps microphone* anyone have an Atlantic subscription and want to send me a gift link to Chait's "Theory of Everything" piece? Pllleeeeaaaaassseee?

Pope Gregory XIII in 1582:

15 percent chance Kash Patel shows up to this press conference in a Tune Squad jersey

yes good reminder: our upcoming NYC election is NOT using ranked choice voting!

@megschuster.bsky.social full disclosure I have actually done the Fernando Alonso "do this one more time and we are actually done" thing more than once. (Also he is the best and the most Spanish, all due respect to Carlos)

@tomcolgan14.bsky.social I'm going to email you! I'll be in the city in a week and a half

@jamesgunn.bsky.social I've always liked your needle drops but "Blue Jeans" by Silvertide made me exceptionally happy. Great band that never got the break they deserved.

do people think George Clooney picks candidates

Chicago got a pope before they got a pro bowl qb this is insane

I think it's funny to say people "criticized JD Vance" when it's more like "last Pope and current Pope literally read the Bible differently and correct Vance on obvious doctrinal errors"

good job everyone, Chicago Pope jokes have outstripped my Pope Pizzaballa dreams

you know who else came from chicago and was on "a mission from god"

if I were better at coding I'd start a website that takes Elon's claimed DOGE savings and factors it into a tax refund for the median income family. Right now DOGE check is like...12 dollars. *waves tiny flag*

man I wish our party had the size and/or diversity to pull this off

It’s rare that you watch a commercial and know, to the penny, the size of a celebrity’s gambling debts. Anyway, “Kiss from a Rose” still slaps

I feel like Drake's entire career is now a monkey paw scenario.

Snoop and Tom Brady: say no to hate Kendrick: actually

low-key it is kinda funny that because DOGE will never get Congressional approval they just gave Elon the IT office and told him to go off

Hi, everybody! Jon here. Unfortunately, since ChatGPT is down at the moment, I'm unable to generate my usual Bluesky posts. As soon as it's up and running again, I'll be able to resume the sorts of posting you've come to expect from me over the years. Thanks all.

*doing breathing exercises* don't freak out about the Gulf of America. He wants you to freak out about the Gulf of America. Focus on the real issues. Woooooossssssaaaaahhhhh

TRUTH: The massive fire that destroyed Altadena was not a “forest fire.” The fire had nothing to do with forest management or water policy. Three main reasons the fire exploded: 1. Drought-like conditions 2. Very low relative humidity 3. Santa Ana winds reaching 100 mph (Video by Stuart Palley)

never forget that Carter and a couple other guys went to Haiti to do shadow diplomacy and were very nearly held hostage as the US invaded

“the hawk tuah girl has been milkshake ducked by her memecoin” i say as the neurologist schedules me for an emergency MRI

hilarious to me that the GOP has a whole complex of failed GOP candidates and Dems have a "one and done" rule somehow

Look bringing back polio sounds bad. But it’s a small price to pay to get rid of pronouns in email signatures and black women in star wars.

I have 10 invites for X, who needs

Via NBC News: Secretary of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth “drank in ways that concerned his colleagues at Fox News, according to 10 current and former Fox employees…” www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

Massive away win for the little fella.

the funniest shit is his sign-offs like a corporate memo

Did you know that by substituting your morning coffee with green tea, you can eliminate up to 93% of what little joy you have left?

disney exec: it’s about a guy who thinks he’s a monkey lol. probably don’t need anything too crazy for the soundtrack. phil collins: [eyes glowing white, levitating above the ground] no

Just an incredible sentence to appear in a news story about the man who might be the next attorney general.

Really few worse feelings than realizing you’re on a different train than you thought as it rockets express miles away from your house. 🫠

lol poor Marco Rubio finally gets out of the Senate, a job he has hated for like a decade now

The cutting irony is that the two big things Kamala supposedly “broke” and that Trump will “fix” - inflation and border crossings are…already fixed! He doesn’t have to do anything! All done!

If a vessel had as many infectious diseases as the Odyssey does on the network television show Dr. Odyssey the United States Navy would have sunk it with a cruise missile for the safety of the public already

thinking about drake watching the world series and hearing the big organ play the tune from the song calling him a pedophile

I'm sorry you don't like George Conway and people at the Lincoln Project. Indeed most of them have a sordid past. But for the last eight years they've been fighting against Trumpism/fascism probably much more than you have. Either you're part of the coalition to defeat this thing or you're not.

Something I have learned about doing Georgia phonebanking is that no matter what the script says, you should not address ladies of a certain age by their first names
