My PvP is from a custom piece of art made by the amazing developers of Stormbound (which you should try if you like digital card games!). I used to stream it pretty heavily before my cancer diagnosis… to cheer me up, they made this hilarious depiction of me playing while watching with my two kids.

It’s amazing. Time is apparently a better arbiter of what’s constitutional and what isn’t than the Supreme Court.

While the Supreme Court lifted the block on Trump’s anti-mail voting order, it made no determination on whether the president’s order or the USPS rule was legal – on that score, they said, “time will tell.” www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

There are people who need to burn for this

We are a broken nation. Hundreds of thousands of Haitians were living and working legally, paying taxes, and contributing. Haiti remains wholly unsafe. But Trump hates Haitians, and the White House wanted videos of Black people in chains, so they stripped them of status and turned on the cameras.

I liked her better when she was just swimming around with no long term memory

Dana Bash is now losing her shit over progressive candidate Manzur surging in New Hampshire. She feels it’s her personal responsibility to stop all progressives everywhere through her little perch on CNN.

They better build a new circle in hell for these motherfuckers.

This morning in Danbury, ICE was arresting parents at school bus stops. But it’s more sinister. ICE waited until the kids were on the bus so when they are dropped off at the end of the day, they are alone, scared to death they can’t find their parents. I’m heading to Danbury.

BREAKING: the national average is now at its highest ever level this late in the calendar year, according to GasBuddy data. Meaning the national average has never been above $4/gal after Aug. 12 in any previous year- ever.

Lump on my thyroid. If it’s a sarcoma, my KS has moved to Stage 3. Not sure what it means for someone as young as me, but the general stats say 20% chance for 5-year survivability. It’s probably nothing.

I heard Gaylan Erso was lead engineer on the design.

Hey I know inflation is out of control and a lot of folks can’t afford basic necessities, but at least we’re tackling waste fraud and abuse by buying… *checks notes* 250 Escalades for the government.

The most heartfelt statement Trump has ever made about Graham.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump takes issue with the Lindsey Graham eulogy he's reading: "Virtually everyone liked Lindsey. Well, not everybody. But it sounds good. I have to be honest. I have to veer from this for a second."

Our disdain? It should draw much, much more.

There's a throughline of wealthy white magnates, like Murdoch or Musk — even ones who, as in Lütke's case, have never obtained U.S. citizenship — presuming the standing to opine about who counts as properly American, and … no. Just no. That should draw our disdain.

Fuck taxing them. #FreeMangione

Brant Reeves@bireeves95.bsky.social

Absolutely 💯 Tax Them…. NEW: Over the World Cup final weekend, ~3,000 private jets flew in and out of the NY area. On the last day, private jet CO2 in the area doubled its 5-year norm(!). Private jets are the most carbon-intensive form of travel. Tax them.

I fully support torching Scott Jennings

Angry@angrystaffer.bsky.social

I missed Beshear’s statement today. Huh. Maybe McConnell really is dead. Scott Jennings is going to get absolutely torched if he is.

We live in a simulation

I’m not calling anyone in particular out on this, but… If you design any sort of user interface in which you are giving me an alphabetized list and you choose to paginate numerically, I need you to pour gasoline on yourself and light the fucking fuse.

She should just take him to a ditch outside of town…

I fear that someone in this public area might get shot! Who? The guy I’m about to shoot…

David J. Bier@davidjbier.bsky.social

WHOA DHS does not say that the agent feared for his life… just the vague concern for “public safety.” So he killed him just because he did not want him in America, not because of any specific threat to agents?

The other half of the quote is missing: “We aren’t just gonna roll over for Republicans… We’re also gonna fund raise off of them!”

Wait, what?!@whyisthat.bsky.social

Hakeem Jeffries also said in his press briefing that Democrats aren't going to just roll over for Republicans. Really? Is this a radical new insight or what you think you've BEEN doing, fighting for Americans? Voting for HR-1 was a slap in the face to Americans. You haven't stopped anything T-RR ->

A contractor building Meta's data center flushed its "closed-loop" cooling system straight into Cheyenne's sewer. It carried a bacterium and knocked the city's water-reuse system offline for months. They sell these as sealed systems that barely touch the water. This one poisoned a city's.

Is it punch a nazi day already?
