Can’t start a fire without a spark

One of the most salient aspects of today's politics is how everyone imagines a conspiratorial "them" controlling things behind the scenes. Elon Musk is literally powerful enough to affect the course of the Ukraine war, but he's still imagining faceless puppet masters who need to be unmasked.

Man, imagine you're minding your own business, getting kind of drunk with your friends at a picturesque brewery in Maine, when suddenly John Roberts walks by and you get to start heckling him. Must have felt incredible. That's the dream. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/01/u...

It’s very 2026 that the Jets and Giants have a cheap field that takes out players they’re paying hundreds of millions of dollars to. Savings!

Remind me: how many teenagers did Wikipedia encourage to kill themselves

Without saying your age, what is your favorite movie that came out when you were 20 years old?

He knows this is hypocrisy. What's more, he fucking LOVES that it is hypocrisy. He knows how mad it'll make all the libs, and how worked up they'll get pointing out the hypocrisy. I'm just... so fucking tired of a government comprised entirely of trolls.

post a perfect album from the 2000s (2000-2009)

Natalie Harp is a year older than Martin Luther King Jr. was when he gave his I Have a Dream speech. She has agency and is running the propaganda operation that serves to put people in concentration camps. She does not get a pass because she looks like a dipshit teenager.

In the american context communism is mostly unrelated to economics. Any progressive redistributive policy is communism, as is any egalitarianism of race, gender, or sexual orientation. Integration is communism, women in the workplace is communism, marriage equality is communism. It's deeply stupid.

This is the saddest shit I've ever read.

him having to wear these dipshit glasses everywhere is such an Arrested Development plotline

Talarico’s argument is simple: Stop treating marijuana like a crime. Legalize it. Regulate it. Tax it. Stop wasting police resources on low-level marijuana offenses. Clear the records of people whose lives have been derailed by nonviolent marijuana convictions.

Truly a sentence that gets exponentially worse as it goes

interesting to me that as the administration treats democratic-voting states like conquered or occupied territories, you don’t have pundits demanding the president respect “half the country”

Conservatives don't believe in living constitutionalism! the constitution is dead dead dead! they believe in UNDEAD constitutionalism. It's very different bsky.app/profile/kate...

5-4 for what it explicitly says in the constitution is incredible. They were this close to undoing the civil war entirely. bsky.app/profile/mjsd...

The Who Still know quadrophenia by heart

Anyone not running on reforming the Supreme Court cant be the leader of anything moving forward. It's an unhinged gang of extremists unrestrained by anything or anyone.

Congratulations to everyone who said it would get this bad. Your prize is watching everyone who disagreed now claim no one could have predicted it would get this bad.

Here's how the corruption works: Thursday: RJ Reynolds donates $5M to Trump Saturday: Trump invites RJR execs to Mar a Lago; execs ask to loosen regs on flavored vapes; Trump calls up RFK Jr. and tells him to change it Friday: FDA changes the policy

My reporting finds that sexual violence against Palestinians by Israeli authorities is widespread. I'm grateful to these assault victims for sharing with me the brutality they endured. Whether we're pro-Israel or pro-Palestinian, we should unite in being anti-rape. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/11/o...

I wake up everyday wondering what type of gambling commercial Kevin Hart will star in next

“Alexa, show us an interview you couldn’t pay us any amount of money to watch”

Fair to ask what GOP Party Obama is referring to - the one that fought the new deal, the one that did McCarthyism, the one that fought the great society, the one that gutted the social safety net under Reagan, the one that Newt led during the Clinton impeachment, or the bush II of war crimes fame

“We have no choice but to overturn the 20th century”

I am really struggling to understand the Bert Callais news as anything other than evidence of how the Big Lie ideology has fully taken root. It is no accident that he was at J6, just like it is no accident that the justice writing the opinion flew an upside-down flag that day

finally, a day when people can talk about Star Wars on the internet

"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." –Justice Louis Brandeis Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today. We must continue the fight to get big money out of politics.

Fun socks with black tie. what's even the point of having a country anymore?

“Try not to suck any dicks on the way to the parking lot”

I will never forgive these assholes for making me repeatedly agree with Rand Paul 🤦🏻‍♂️

After the White House complained about an unflattering photo of Karoline Leavitt, it was removed from AFP and Getty’s systems. This is the photo in question. Please do not repost it. 👇

Facebook launched 22 years ago this week. In 2025, Meta paid an effective federal tax rate of 3.5% — its lowest on record. Meanwhile, Meta is pumping at least $65 million into super PACs to stifle regulation of AI and tech. Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax, it's corrosive to democracy.

@greggrosenthal.bsky.social In light of Waller explaining how Ross fired McDaniel - can you please address how this guy is amongst the worst owners. jim Harbaugh - plane fiasco brian Flores - trying to pay him to lose Ross - suspended & team docked a 1st rounder 0 playoff wins The worst!
