It's crazy that someone with such a poor reading of the political moment was allowed to run for elected office.

Kamala Harris: I think that going in the direction of impeachment is not a good idea. I was in the Senate for the last go-round, and the votes aren’t there. I think after the election, we all have to just also agree that our attitude has to be to get stuff done…

English is not a prescriptive language and Merriam Webster is not you boss (probably). Speak freely, your freestyled idioms are always fine as they reasonably convey your intended message (and don't explicitly violate a specific applicable styleguide).

We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps: -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It's 'buck naked' -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’ -It’s ‘toe the line'

A film I saw on a first date - at a midnight showing about 90 minutes from campus. When I dropped her off at her dorm after we saw the girl who won the pre-show fake orgasm competition getting arrested by campus police, apparently for being way too drunk. Good times.

Capital punishment should obviously be abolished, but if the state is going to commit premeditated murder it should be carried out by the most senior executive (potus, gov), in a method selected by the condemned, and broadcast live. We should have to see the monsters who rule us for whonthey are.

Aaron Swartz committed suicide in 2013 because the state came after him so hard for downloading too many academic papers, despite being a student at the University and having legitimate access to them. Ai companies are now just hoovering up every single thing imaginable.

I really don't think folks who weren't there grasp just how much these generations really were shamed or even prosecuted for stuff that giant companies do all the time now like ffs, websites used to shame people for 𝘩𝘰𝘵𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 images without paying the site that hosted it for their bandwidth!

The key takeaway here should be that the Trump bench is neither deep nor competent. They started at the bottom of the barrel, made the first wave take multiple positions and are still struggling to keep butts in seats for the remaining positions. It will get worse as rats flee as midterms approach.

this is an SNL cold open come to life. she can barely read

Every time I read about the 𝑐𝑟𝑖𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑙 𝑖𝑛𝑣𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑔𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 of Ilhan Omar I hear Saul Goodman saying "You don't want a criminal lawyer. You want a 𝑐𝑟𝑖𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑙 𝑙𝑎𝑤𝑦𝑒𝑟."

Calling them weird and deplorabe was fine, but this should be the standard approach. I also would like some Democrats to truly bully those freaks by accurately describing their actions and world views.

“That’s the problem, Mike. It’s not just that you hired half the Third Reich to staff your congressional office, and you have promoted neo-Nazi content online,” Ossoff said. “It’s that you’re robbing your constituents to subsidize your donors.” talkingpointsmemo.com/fivepoints/s...

Mn Republicans are like "while I broadly support Trumps ethnic cleansing agenda, I do not think it is helpful to publicly call for a pogrom at this time"

#Factcheck : While the exact population of the modern 3rd Reich is open to debate, open sources (Wikipedia) place the most recent (1940) estimate at 109m, while typical senate campaigns staff around 50 on the high end. I Give Jon 4 pinochios.

"You hired half the Third Reich to staff your office ... If John Lewis were marching today, Mike Collins would be grabbing a billy club" -- here's a supercut of Jon Ossoff SMASHING Mike Collins during tonight's debate

When you disseminate information knee to nose the message tends to be very clear.

Dewie@judgedewie.bsky.social

OMG I had to check my work emails regarding an extra case in court tomorrow and I've just read this from an HR person. "on a knee to nose basis" A KNEE TO NOSE BASIS 😳

This thread reads like a pitch for a Hostel sequel.

sarah jeong@sarahjeong.bsky.social

lol my flight got diverted because of a medical emergency and they landed us in reykjavik in the middle of the night and deplaned us and sent us through passport control and then the crew vanished and then british airways sent us links to book an overnight hotel room but for a hotel at heathrow

Wait, does he think these hiring standards apply to the service animals?

Kash Patel: "Applicants who have engaged in beastiliaty means they were victims of beastility because they were forced to do so. At this FBI we are not going to criminalize and prevent victims from serving."

Fantastic - cut youth programs, so the kids have fuck all to do. Then spend orders of magnitude more on the cops so they can then harass those kids for trying to find something to do.

5 Eyewitness News@kstptv.bsky.social

Minneapolis park leaders say youth programs and maintenance could be cut as the city debates how much park funding to include in a property tax increase.

Lmao.

Example: Four agents infiltrated a "Workers Assembly to Defeat ICE" and strike planning meeting on Feb. 15 at the United Labor Center. That report includes this sentence: "Attendees appeared to have a negative opinion of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey." (8)

Prisoners should be well fed, as should soldiers. Everyone, particularly anyone who is a ward of the state, should have good quality food.

Elizabeth Pennysworth@epennysworth.bsky.social

Our deployed military is being fed worse than prisoners, all while working long hours trapped on a ship that cannot get fresh food delivered to them. No fruits No Vegetables. Free our troops #Blues #Iran #fdt #SuckersAndLosers

Clearly we should let people who are proud that they are too stupid to read a book become professional writers. Excellent.
