As the midterms approach, I would just remind everyone that US politics has become increasingly parliamentary and that what matters most is the *number* of Ds or Rs, not the idiosyncrasies or ideological quirks of individual candidates. If you want D outcomes, vote D up & down the ticket.

vivek's hairstyle kind of looks like dessert at the cheesecake factory

The pain just keeps coming 😭

American conservatives are constantly bemoaning the decline of aesthetic standards and calling for a return to tailored suits and classical Roman architecture, but are now forced to defend the Cheesecake Factory. A constant tension between the Brooks Brothers patrician and the Kid Rock populist.

In baby Voice, " The mean little Europeans called me a wanker"

OBAMA: He's got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory. It's gold everywhere.

Pretty funny the same year "The Social Reckoning" comes out the actual movie that speaks to the moment we're living in is "You Can See Everything"

Hey @remapradio.bsky.social My turn: "You Can See Everything?"

App: Do you like our app? Me: No I fucking hate your app, now get the fuck outta my way, so I can spend all day here being miserable.

If we lose, lmao, sorest of sore losers to ever walk the planet

The thing that really pisses me off, is a world as rich as Mass Effect doesn't come that often. This could have been Star Wars and Star Trek levels of big and EA fumbled the bag so badly!

Leaked Mass Effect trailer

This is what they took from us!

Nathan Fielder as Batman and he just keeps saying "ok" to the Joker until he fucking kills himself

Never seen a better distillation of the current right wing man than in "you can see everything." Phenomenal film.

“I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.”

FUCK EA!

Was at the doughnut shop. Asked for a long John and the woman looked at me like I’d sprouted a second head. “A… what?” “That long John. Right there.” Her face folded on itself. “Long John is underwear.” “I’m from the Midwest.” We stared blankly at each other. Anyway I can never go back now.

Deeming every action of this administration as illegal so that it's null and void should be the core of the next dem administration.

I'm not sure how much more blatant it can get that these guys are looting the federal government and then pointing over there and saying "look what THOSE BLACK PEOPLE ARE GETTING AWAY WITH!!!" bsky.app/profile/atru...

Nothing more they hate than diversity of ideas

Meta took down the No Kings organizing page today - the biggest day of protest this fall. They provided zero explanation. It stayed down for the entire afternoon until most of the protests were done. Outrageous. Put this on the January investigation list.

❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this. Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.

"shouldn't be this hard" is an all-encompassing, feel-it-in-your-bones summary of modern American life -- of difficulties big and small, existential and annoying -- that should be at the core of every Democratic candidate's message for years to come.

If they can do it to her, they will do it to anyone. Fuck this b

We can either be a rich country full of immigrants or a poor country full of Nazis. We can't be both

Smoking is only cool if it's dangerous

I thought this was an onion headline

The end of Whiplash except it's the Mute City theme from F-Zero.

I would love, absolutely love, at least one prominent contender for the Dem POTUS nomination in 2028 to start threatening this now. "Trump is right that lying on immigration forms is a serious offense. Here are the people my DOJ will investigate on Day 1: Musk, Melania, etc." Put fear in them NOW.

No president can abuse power alone: he needs a complicit Congress, and contractors to do the physical work. Riverbend's owner Logan Jones could have said "we can't start that fast", or "we need to wait for the court order". He didn't. You can call and tell him what you think. 2/ riverbendva.com

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

no coming back from this without punishing the entire chain of command from the officers carrying out this shit to the people at the top giving the orders

Jesus fucking Christ

how i'm dressing on the first day of october that's under 70° F.

ICE shot Oscar Bergal. They could have killed the child in his car. Enough. ICE out of New York, and all our communities, now.

Turns out selling out to fascism is also not profitable

jesus christ i have never heard a democratic talk this bluntly about an opponent

a livestreamed execution is just a lynching
