Phase Blowly

Remember the 8+ years of this dumb performative shit every time Bammerz zinged wingnuts with a mildly funny joke? They sure do. Lmao.

This needs to be exploited. Where else can Obama send one of Trump’s fart-sniffers.

The elections are on next Tuesday, and so much is at stake, including the soul of the Democratic Party when it comes to transgender people. I am asking you to leave a very small number of races blank in which a Democrat has embraced extreme anti-trans hate. I make my case here.

This is such a fantastic photo: "The Witches' Tea Party" but I want to use it to explain the origin of the tall, pointy witches hat. The real story of this photo: These are residents at the Hospital of the Holy & Undivided Trinity: an almshouse in Castle Rising, Norfolk, England established 1610.

I spent all day writing the thread in my head about how Bolsonaro's win was the culmination of a 20-year project to end Brazilian democracy, with the participation of both domestic elites and foreign actors like the US state department and Meta. This is all true, of course, except he didn't win.

You can't beat fascism by agreeing with fascism. You can't beat fascists by accepting a fascist frame. Corporatist Democratic Party leadership needs to be defeated and jettisoned. We have to fight them, not because we don't want to fight Republicans, but because they refuse to.

Free weekend update is out. Its mostly a deep dive into the Starlink/Starshield move by Trump and Musk (yes both of them) which did real damage to Ukraine and proved a point. Trump reacts to pressure, not flattery. Standing up to him is the only way. phillipspobrien.substack.com/p/weekend-up...

“I live in a loot box” is one of the funnier bits of chud posting over the years. DEER PISS VALLEY ESTATES WILL NOT FALL!!!

Also the just general posting literacy is so low that “a joke” functions more like bait. I think actual bait on that website would mostly be inscrutable to them

“He's got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory. Just gold everywhere.” Fuck ‘em up, Barry.

We need to be way angrier than we are. I'm all for adopting the framing from the End Times Fascism book, namely that these people - the techbros - are traitors to the human race.

In MAGA, parental estrangement is a big issue — and parents are held out as blameless victims. I suspect that's one reason why Vivek Ramaswamy ran an ad celebrating Amy Acton's vile mother. And why MAGA — including Vance and Trump — are backing him. www.salon.com/2026/10/23/r...

The most wallet that’s ever been inspected… today.

Disgraced old white man has opinions, won’t go away.

And risk their status with the people that matter to them?

A good distillation of the contrasts between the weak reactionary scumbags in the GOP and Vivek, JD, Trump et al. Also, these paragraphs are 😘🤌.

Who’s got two thumbs and last minute impulse-bought a ticket for Jeff Tweedy’s solo show in Rochester?

It's as good as marked, asshole.

"Ernesto" and "Francisco" are cleaning the blackberry rows - removing excess leaves and branches - to create space between the rows. This makes it easier for workers to move and harvest good quality berries rapidly and safely. #WeFeedYou

Once mass spam texts were made legal, younger donors vanished, leaving a grassroots fundraising machine that subsists on squeezing vulnerable seniors, some of whom give hundreds of times a day. It’s a horrific model. Consultants get generationally wealthy, and the party hollows out its future.

The moral rot is top-to-bottom in the GOP. But let’s focus on the more specific issue here: Trump and his party like rape. Whether it’s child abuse or campus sexual assault, they think rape is ok. Maybe they even think it’s funny.

This is what the Republican Party unambiguously is; whether you choose to support it is up to you

i think it would be great with the holiday season right around the corner if we skipped the "how to avoid talking about politics with your kooky uncle" articles and got a bunch of more useful "how to talk to older family members about setting a family codeword in case of phishing attempts" articles

"The Jews who went to Mississippi didn't take selfies and post tweets." Okay, but honestly, if tweets had been a thing in 1961, many of them probably would have done.

nobody stopped Musk before he broke the state monopoly on violence, so now either he goes or the nation-state does

None and I almost never do. Across the 3 or 4 phone numbers I’ve had in my adult life, too. Not sure why. My email inboxes are currently amped-up trash holes of Dems holding out alms bowls, tho.

This. Is. The. Way. Punch. Punch often. Refuse to apologize to anyone for throwing punches during a boxing match.

Oh hell yeah great call… “Can we get Brett up here? Where’s Brett? Brett? There he is. Brett Favre folks…I’ll tell you what he’s walking towards me but I’d recognize that ass from any angle. The New York Giants..I think you played for them right Brett. The Giants. LT! Now that was an ass once me an

Oligarch owned media and their managers: “Sure thing, boss. Sorry for the slip-up.”

Bills secondary lining up for the next down.

People who have been around politics a long time may be struck as I was by the sheriff's signature on this arrest warrant for Amy Acton's stepfather, who at the time was a fugitive. Does the name James Traficant ring a bell?

I worked a O&G play in Mahoning Co. years ago and have a funny story I can’t tell about the Traficant family. Except to say that their lawyer tried the “they’re a big deal around here” line and my boss at the time, a boomer from Louisiana, replied “the crook with a bad hairpiece, right?” Lmao.
