"Debate" has been corrupted by codifying it into a competitive sport imo; at this point it is rarely a method for good faith actors to hit upon best solutions or refine a shared reality; it's mostly a vector for bad faith actors to keep failed and destructive ideas in perpetual zombie currency.

Can pretty much guarantee that Bacchus consented to this interaction

Ossoff: "Maybe you saw that Donald Trump was in Dalton yesterday, oblivious to the collapse of his presidency. A crowd smaller than this one enduring two hours of senile babbling while the price of oil hit its 5 month high"

Some days I find it difficult to avoid saying rather counterproductive nasty things to people coming to correct but screamingly obvious conclusions.

I think people should listen to what the administration trying to bring back spectacle lynchings, race riots, and middle passage-esque deportation voyages are trying to tell you about themselves. bsky.app/profile/bren...

Becca Good spoke publicly: ”I'm devastated by how many other lives have been destroyed, in this the darkest of times. From so many families dealing with the loss of their owned loved ones, to everyone who has to witness it, the pain of this moment extends so far beyond our family." (cont)

impeach them all. fuck em. why should they get to fly around on our dime and hurt people? “they’ll never actually removed from office” who gives a shit? I want them miserable every day for the rest of the term. I hope they have nightmares. air their dirty laundry. make em sweat

this is so incredible I can’t stop laughing because he forgot to include Reagan

This is the letter kids got at the end of Dolly’s Imagination Library. I defy you to read this and not cry.

"What did he do to deserve to be murdered, to be left cold, on the ground, dead, my child? What did he do? ... they don't care ... I expect an apology. Why shouldn't we get one?" -- Alex Pretti's mom

Oh no. She was one of the best people. Just a truly wonderful light on this planet who did so much good.

That's right, racist. The inbred "heritage Americans" of the traitorous Confederacy got their asses kicked by a motley assortment of immigrants in the U.S. Army.

As always: if there's any class of people who do not have due process rights, then *nobody* has due process rights, because the government can just claim someone is in that class and there's no process to establish otherwise.

The image-obsessed cannot fathom a world in which people can succeed without meeting their visual stereotypes. And that's why they will inevitably lose; their total inability to see beyond the superficial.

DAWG WE'RE DOING STATE-RUN GAS PRICES AT PRICE CONTROLLED RATES DESPITE INCREASING SHORTAGES TO PACIFY THE PEOPLE AND THEY'RE SCREAMING ABOUT HOW THEIR OPPONENTS WANT COMMUNISM I AM GOING TO LOSE MY ENTIRE GODDAMN MIND

"What no competent government can deliver is Scandinavian levels of welfare provision sustained on American levels of taxation, with immigration reduced. Yet since [Brexit], this has been the quixotic demand of the UK electorate." Me, on Starmer, Burnham and Brexit: www.gla.ac.uk/research/az/...

"Abolish ICE" is the minimum requirement for any politician running for federal office. This is the "law enforcement" function ICE performs: invading polling places to harass people over social media posts about the ICE agent who murdered someone on her way home after dropping her kid off at school.

holy shit bsky has a water sealant expert that predicted the reflecting pool failure mode perfectly

Imagine having *life* in your streets, rather than just cars.

I feel like we’re in for many years of “haha, they were spending taxpayer money on bug condoms—DOGE to the rescue!” turning out to be something important Elon’s Tween Team didn’t understand.

If only someone could figure out how to make milk safe to drink! It'd be such a big deal the process would be named after them.

What if we deliberately tried to create good vibes to counteract all the bad vibes?

Another reminder: if there exists *any* class of people who don't have due process rights, then *nobody* actually has due process rights because the government can always just say you're in that class.

"Let us die to make men free" gets the attention on here, but don't sleep on "I have read the good news of the word of God written in rows of rifles: the vengeance you mete to slavers shall be repaid by Me with grace to you, crush them beneath your heel as Christ did the devil"

We are going to savor this one. Our client, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, is freed of these outrageous, vindictive charges. It’s a good day.

I just can't imagine "I just made a video for Jeff Bezos mocking the idea that we should given new mothers diapers" not being followed by the thought "and thus I should throw myself off a bridge." I don't understand people.

“For the good of society, your son will work in the trades. Oh, my son? My son will be a titan of politics and industry. For the good of society, your daughter will be a tradwife. Oh, my daughter? My daughter will host a lucrative rightwing podcast.”

Nothing has killed more soldiers in the history of humanity than disease. While worst is a more complicated question Hegseth is absolutely the dumbest secretary of defense the United States has ever had. bsky.app/profile/ones...

Absolutely incredible. NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone. Watch with sound on.
