Just got to the part in the new Skate where an npc named Slappy invoked the phrase "we shall overcome" in regards to getting bird poo off of a gnarly ledge we were trying to tailslide. Indeed Slappy, indeed.

I'd like to give him more shit about this but not only is he on the San Vansterdam city council, but they seemed to have actually defunded the police here so I'll keep my snide comments to myself. Keep fighting the good fight, Slappy.

My legitimate political disagreement with Joe Biden is his enthusiastic complicity in politically knecapping single-payer healthcare proposals prior to the passing of the ACA, thereby continuing and often expanding the financial and bureaucratic burdens of cancer patients and their loved ones.

Mike Nellis@mikenellis.bsky.social

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but you can have legitimate political disagreements with Joe Biden and his team without being petty or gross about his cancer.

Just to be clear, she is talking about protesting the US-backed genocide in Gaza. She thinks we need to take steps to contain those protests and minimize its influence on young people and it's the protests that are really the problem at the heart of this issue and not, y'know, the genocide. 🧐

LEGALLY-BINDING FINANCIAL ADVICE NEEDED PLEASE RESPOND BELOW If I were to develop really bad takes (politics/popculture) do you think that would help my bottom line? Also, is a podcast a tax deduction?

AI will never know how many R's are in the word strawberry or S's in deserts Thank you for your service comrade @merriam-webster.com

Merriam-Webster@merriam-webster.com

The phrase ‘just deserts’ has only one S. It has nothing to do with desserts 🧁or deserts 🏜️. The word ‘desert’ is spelled like🏜️ and pronounced like🧁. It's related to ‘deserve’ and means “reward or punishment deserved or earned by one’s qualities or acts.”

This is a vile, despicable, and racist tactic of rhetoric being deployed against Chuck Schumer. Presumably Donald learned it from watching Chuck Schumer talk about protests last summer.

Justin Baragona@justinbaragona.bsky.social

Donald Trump: "Schumer is a Palestinian as far as I am concerned. He has become a Palestinian. He used to be Jewish. He is not Jewish anymore. He is a Palestinian."

College students were one of the prime pools for volunteer recruitment in the DNC. However Harris and crew spent their (albeit short and unconventional) campaign, condemning college protesters and telling people to shut the hell up "Unless you want trump to win."

NEWS: Last night, the Department of Homeland Security detained a Palestinian who helped lead the Columbia encampment. Agents told him his visa was revoked. He said he had a green card. They were confused—then said that was revoked too. His attorney demanded a warrant. Agents hung up instead.

Something I'm doing in Trump 2.0: Letting go of the need to have an in-depth take. I'm also not letting that feeling of "Everyone has already said what needs to be said" overcome my reaction to events. If something is terrifying or noteworthy, I can just say it's terrifying or noteworthy.

ffs I was joking A completely myopic approach to the election on the part of the DNC and it's boosters had more to do with Trump winning than his ability to hold attention in the media cycles. They went out of their way to ignore their base in favor of paid (sponsored) internal polling, eg Michigan

Where did most of them get killed Adam? Who killed the vest majority of 124+ journalists last year? Were there any accomplices? (ps you're really genuinely godfuckinawful at close-up magic and everyone can see the scarf hanging out your sweaty sleeve, please quit trying this shit you actual hack)

Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.gov

124+ journalists were killed last year. The deadliest year for reporters on record. A free press is at the core of democracy. It is necessary to safeguard human rights. We must keep up the work to protect journalists from coercion and even murder, and safeguard their critical work.

Right, the breakdown is that MEDIA REFUSES TO TAKE MUSK AND VANCE'S NAZI LINKS SERIOUSLY, not that the INTERACTIONS ARE HIDDEN. Musk literally did an apparent Nazi salute at the inauguration, NEVER ONCE DENIED IT, and was given a free pass.
