The fact that this is happening is hard-core insane. 🇺🇸 needs to be unplugged. And “maybe” plugged back in again. Because it is f*<#ed! On second thought…just unplug. We don’t need it to restart.

We are back. The rescheduled White House Correspondents Dinner is live at the Waldorf Astoria. Your uncredentialed correspondent has returned from her sofa in the Midwest. No press pass. No canapés. Just a dog, a television, and absolutely no filter.

I'm interested in hearing if @boldstrokesbooks.bsky.social authors were aware their books would be getting fed to Kindle Translate instead of getting a proper translation.

Chace Verity@chaceverity.com

So @boldstrokesbooks.bsky.social got caught using Kindle Translate for their translated books instead of paying translators?? Wish I could say I was surprised this is coming from the same company that had/has a cover designer leaving stock photo watermarks on covers and later using genAI, but

I want a movie about the poor untenured archaeologist who has to cover Indiana Jones' teaching and do his marking while he fucks off to do 'fieldwork'.

Others have said this, but it's true: all the money that pours into Democratic campaigns is so much better spent on buying media infrastructure.

David Roberts@volts.wtf

It's galling to contemplate but I really think you have to admit that Musk buying X was an unqualified victory. It can't be exaggerated just how much prominent journalists, pundits, business type, etc. mistake the vibe on X for "how the country is feeling."

US Politicians are very happy to keep framing the Epstein files as partisan. Because it shifts the focus from the real issue. This was never about politics. It’s about mainly rich, white, powerful men believing they could do whatever the hell they wanted and get away with it.

Canada has a legal obligation under domestic and international law to deny export permits for military machinery that could be used against civilians. My latest on the need for the PM to cancel the export permits of the Rochel vehicles going to ICE. charlieangus.substack.com/p/canada-mus...

Take that $29 million out of the budget for the police. And permanently reduce the police budget by that amount in future years.

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

An important point #authors need to talk about: there are NO PAPERBACKS anymore. I’m at WW Norton and Harper Collins. They release hardbacks and ebooks and audio. Frequently they do NOT do a paperback at all. If they do, #books get remaindered. Unless you are a bestseller, you may never get one.

Like I dunno, maybe the reason it took a lady to break open the story of all the men protecting the dude trafficking underage girls is because the male journos were all emailing him making jokes about it?

"This could take down Democrats, too." I know. And I frankly wouldn't give even an itty bitty damn if it implicated every Democratic man in Congress, every Democratic hopeful for 2028 and every Democrat who has even thought about running for office. Down with the sex predators, wherever they are.

This seems like the most straightforward and also basically accurate message.

David M. Perry@lollardfish.bsky.social

instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."

Starvation is always a policy choice. Just like homelessness.

Kelly@broadwaybabyto.bsky.social

The USDA is the fail safe for SNAP. They have a contingency fund to ensure it’s covered in the event of a shutdown. They’re refusing. Grocery stores stepped up to try and help by offering discounts to any SNAP recipients and the USDA told them they had to stop. Starvation as a policy choice.

Any politician who opposes trans rights is also opposing bodily autonomy, which is basically the foundation for your right to live as a free person, so you should support trans rights out of rational self-interest If the man in the big chair can deny me HRT, he can deny you whatever he wants, too

idk guys, "we're going to train our military on our cities" seems like the kind of thing that's 1) very bad and 2) very easy to message against but what the fuck do i know

Trump to top military officials: "I told Pete, we should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military. National Guard, but our military. Because we're going into Chicago very soon. That's a big city with an incompetent governor. Stupid governor."

The flew the entire military leadership in so they could see for themselves that the Secretary of Defense is a mouthbreathing dipshit and the Commander in Chief is a senile, weak old man who might keel over at any moment.

Trump: "The ones that are run by radical left Democrats -- what they've done to San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles. They're very unsafe places & we're gonna straighten them out one by one. This is gonna be a major part for some people in this room. That's a war too. It's war from within"

Considering the reports of small towns across the country convinced they’re about to be invaded by armed woke hordes, running an Antifa bus company is obviously a very good business.

Trump is ordering the military to use “full force” against an American city, while the Supreme Court declares him the Sun King and Congress hides under a pile of coats. The checks and balances only work when the institutions aren’t run by utter cowards and the complicit
