Scott McCaughey

I guess I should post some sort of (re-)introduction on here? Hi, I'm Scott. I don't post much, but I'm hoping to post more on here than I have other places lately. I stopped using Twitter a while ago and used Threads and Mastodon a bit before settling here. I like it here. 😄

If a Nazi bought my favorite restaurant, I’d simply stop dining there. If for some reason I didn’t, I can’t imagine trying to convince others to come back. I’ve been reading John for a very long time, but besides rooting for the Yankees and Cowboys this is as wrong as he’s ever been.

Apparently people are sharing this far and wide on social media, which I think is horrible. This could cripple ICE operations. PLEASE do not share this.

Happy 80th anniversary to Bob Clampett's THE GREAT PIGGY BANK ROBBERY ('46)!

$100 to any reporter who asks him, "so you're saying Capitol Police should've shot dead everyone who breached the Capitol on January 6?"

I get that this won’t happen anytime soon, but it’s the right answer.

"Y'all are in a death spiral. That's why you have to redistrict. That's why you have to cheat." Watch this man.

Restriction number 1: you have to be a huge piece of shit to attend

Doesn’t really get more Peak Democrat Brain than “sucks that the court just torched the clear will of the voters, I’m gonna need everyone to vote harder to fix this”

invited the whole polyphonic spree to his draft party

SPOILER 'LERT. The ones pulling the stories of minorities from museums are the bad guys and whatnot.

1. Traveling 2. Making pizza 3. Playing games 4. Nine Inch Nails (and, today especially, Nine Inch Noize!)

Humanity did that. Science did that. Publicly-funded research did that. Excellent universities did that. Diversity did that. International cooperation did that. Artemis II is a perfect example of what we can do at our best. Welcome home, Integrity crew!

Any Media or Political Elite that suggest the way to move forward from Trump is to bury the past, rather than rigorously investigate & prosecute, is automatically disqualified.

Not that I was ever going to move to Utah, but I’m definitely not ever moving to fucking Utah. That’s where I stand.

republicans are in charge of everything and they are getting everything theyve ever wanted and doing everything theyve ever wanted and the world is on fire and the global world order is collapsing. is there a correlation? who can say

the important thing i think is that they get comfortable now with living in federal facilities

If you won’t say this, you should not hold public office

I’m a complicated person. I think our prison industrial complex needs to be dismantled and far fewer people incarcerated. I also firmly believe that we need to fill those prisons full of every single person in the current administration, every single ICE officer…

We did a thing! It's pretty cool! (It would mean a lot to us if you watch, like, subscribe, leave a comment, tell friends, give us feedback etc.) @judaroo.bsky.social @asterionhex.monster @nullzone.bsky.social youtu.be/CE4eJ9CJHP0?...

"If we have to hunt you down, the way they hunted down Nazis for decades, we will find your identities. We will find you. We will achieve justice. And we will do so under the Constitution and laws of the United States." www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ft1...

It’s become clear over the years that every single MAGA accusation is a confession. I’m not a conspiracy theorist by any means, but if you told me we’d all eventually find out that Trump and his team were behind him being shot at, I would not be even a tiny bit surprised.

I’m a firm ”No Kings” guy, but if I had to live in a kingdom, this is my choice.

When the Catholic Church is more progressive than the Democrats we need new Democrats.

As @kenwhite.bsky.social has said before: "A government that deliberately abandons the rule of law is not morally entitled to its protections." We have eclipsed that tipping point.

I very much hope that this is the beginning of things getting real.

If the slogan on your campaign posters isn’t “He Will Die in Prison”, I’m not voting for you.

no matter how hard Greg Bovino tries to exude rugged masculinity he always comes off like Don Knotts in a Portlandia sketch

This looks and sounds like a letter read aloud in a Wes Anderson movie by one of his precocious boys or broken men

We’re so done as a country if Democrats can’t even vote against something as unbelievably unpopular as funding ICE. The leadership needs to go and every single rep needs to be challenged in the next primaries.

I think we can all root for this.

this is pathetic to a degree i didn't realize was possible

i hope all the people resisting ICE on the ground know how fucking inspiring they are. minneapolis right now, and chicago and LA and charlotte and DC and portland before them, you’re setting the blueprint for the future battles sure to come. thank you.

im sorry i know it sucks but journalists are going to have to be willing to get fired for simply describing what they see happening with their own eyes, you look like fucking morons

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

I know we all say “this is the stupidest timeline” a lot but seriously this is the stupidest timeline

another robot highlight for 2025: man wearing humanoid mocap suit kicks himself in the balls

My grandfather used to count out a specific number of each coin every morning to put into his pocket. I wish I remembered the exact amount because there was logic behind it. The last time I left the house with change in my pocket I was on my way to the arcade to play Street Fighter II circa 1993.

This is a thread well worth reading.

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama. Us: Across your entire career? Reiner: In a 6 year period. Us: That sounds- Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

You will be visited by three spirits

The president has illegally declared war to stop fentanyl trafficking from a country that does not traffic that drug, claiming its leader is trafficking drugs himself, the day after pardoning a former leader of a country who is a convicted drug trafficker. Just to level set
