I’m a musician, sports fan, jersey & logo freak, #Mistie, and just your average mixed-up guy. Hoping I can outlast my 15 years on that *other* app…

a norwegian on Threads posted this and i just don’t know how much more clearly we can emphasize how much Americans are being ripped off by our system which is built to concentrate wealth at the top

Anonymous hackers breached the official Russian justice website for occupied Crimea, gaining access to its databases and extracting more than 240 GB of judicial data comprising over 323,000 files. Anonymous demands Russia withdraw from Ukraine, reminds all that Crimea is Ukraine, now and forever.

Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. In 2025, he made 1,794x more. And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers? I will continue my boycott of Starbucks.

Are we sure they’re reading the charts correctly? Shouldn’t they be grateful to live in the wealthiest nation on earth full of sentient machines??? Nobody can be poor and struggling when we have AI and rich people, according to Bluesky logic, right?

Vote early. Election Day is the end of the election, not the beginning. With everything this regime is going to do to suppress our votes, it’s imperative that we leave plenty of time to correct any issues.

🚨 OCTOBER 17 — NO KINGS: VOTE EARLY! With our democracy at stake, we're showing up again to promote unprecedented voter participation in the midterms. Our goal is to translate the historic protest power of No Kings mobilizations into a massive wave of voter turnout.

I think another lesson to take from the loss of both Dolly and Tim Curry is that neither of them took themselves seriously but they took the work dead serious that's the most important thing pour all of yourself into the craft but have fun and don't get an ego.

If Dolly was our constant reminder that it was Good to be Good, Tim Curry was our reminder that it was Good to be Weird. Embrace your strangeness, sing with Muppets, wear your lingerie with a leather jacket, and fuck with uptight people who hate anything that makes them remotely uncomfortable.

RIP to a motherfucking icon.

I hate how true this statement is 😑

Mainstream media does not have time to focus on Trump’s relationship with Natalie Harp because they are too busy not giving a single shit about the Epstein Files.

Sickening that corporate media has been directed by their billionaire handlers to ask every Democrat about the DSA platform in an effort to divide the party, instead of the GOP platform of kidnapping, starvation, murder, and death.

Nearly every past atrocity was legal, nearly every liberatory movement to end it was not. Resistance is criminalized because oppressors write laws that protect their cruelty and make our objection to it illegal.

I had a coworker who was absolutely certain that his son's school had litter boxes in the restrooms (they did not).

Sen. Roger Marshall: "Who didn't have a friend who took this vaccine and had some time of complication? A stroke, a blood clot, a young man getting some type of heart inflammation. That's what destroyed the trust in the American people for our government."

Dear media, You don't have to say "E Jean Carroll accused Trump of defamation and rape." You can say "Trump defamed and raped E Jean Carroll." It's been adjudicated. Thank you

To date, immigration officials have shot and killed 11 people, including two Minnesotans. Across the country, they operate with no respect for human life, the law, or consequences. There's no reforming this agency. Rip it apart.

I spoke to my old friend Mitch McConnell this morning, the senior Senator from Kentucky. He's still recovering in the hospital. We talked for just shy of 20 minutes. And all that time he insisted he was a ghost, already dead but trapped in semi-corporeal form by Pure Evil. I told him Get Well Sir.

An America where working people can make ends meet, live comfortably, afford healthcare, and have aspirational lives. But billionaires can’t become trillionaires. That’s the nightmarish dystopia Democratic Socialists envision.

The Trump bots on X keep gaslighting about cocaine under random tweets today. This UFC thing at the white house probably has a lot of cocaine usage, judging by the subject matter of the coordinated gaslighting attempts. Cocaine & Ketamine use is high among right-wing circles, so it's not uncommon.

Trump: "I took three cognitive tests. Aced all of them, by the way. I'm the only president to take a cognitive test. I don't think Obama could pass it. The first question is very easy -- it's a lion, a giraffe, a bear, and a shark. They say, 'Which one is the bear?'"

The FBI guy is on a paranoid bender and won’t leave his room. The War guy quotes bible passages from Pulp Fiction. The Health guy collects raccoon dicks. It’s an Idiocracy on steroids.
