I can hear this picture!

right ok sure that's fine

the best mindset for how to treat the press actually came from a report i read about george w bush eons ago: treat them like a special interest group. they have their obsessions and fetishes and whatnot but theyre not god. they dont get to dictate shit. bsky.app/profile/lafo...

@veritasknight.bsky.social @casualfriday.bsky.social every once in a while I still see shit like this and think of "I am a Democratic Socialist..."

Abdul punches back and doesn't take shit. He isn't a weak centrist nothing. People want fighters.

I live in a rural town and, like, I don't know how to tell you this, but the girls play on the boys team and vice versa all the time because otherwise we don't have enough players for a game and it's literally always fine so stop being weirdos about kids sports and just let trans kids play.

Any politician who’s willing to throw away one group’s rights is willing to throw away everyone’s rights. It’s that simple. Every single consultant, pundit and candidate who’s shown a willingness to abandon trans rights needs to be shunned from the party forever

the handful of die-hard anti-trans voters that exist are going to vote GOP no matter what. so this ad will not pick up a single new voter. all it does is further disenfranchise trans ppl – a marginalized group MAGA hates. this is a pro-MAGA ad & Turek is furthering MAGA's cause by airing it

Saw this post a while back and I've had it bookmarked ever since. bsky.app/profile/dmns...

This thread is 🔥

Okay, it's #SteamNextFest and there's a lot of demos out there, so here's a quick thread of suggestions to try out, a lot of these I might not have played, they're just what's tickling my fancy. Let's start with Queen's Domain which is releasing on the 30th!

announcer: let’s go to our rules expert, a guy who was a referee and is friends with all the referees rules expert: i think the referees did a great job on that call announcer: got it, thanks rules expert: they’re handsome too

The victim in Colorado's 12th bear attack of the year took a stand for humanity and opened a can of whoop-ass on the bear.

Maybe I'm being a hipster, but I operate under the assumption that any podcast deemed to be widely popular is absolute garbage and stocked with insufferable people. Never let me down so far! (This is true of most media, but especially so for podcasts.)

This is a real nice bit of business for NJD. Pretty much last year's 1st, a 2nd three years from now, and a bunch of spare parts for Hellebuyck makes me wonder how bad the other offers were. Still plenty in hand to go hunting bigger game. Also, fire Cheveldayoff. Unforgivable asset management.

🧵 Matt Yglesias is one of the biggest reasons the Democratic Party leadership is so feckless, cowardly, and lazy. I'm not exaggerating. Yglesias is often a featured speaker at private Democratic Party events, despite almost always being wrong. Let's discuss...

I cannot tolerate this disrespect of the Granny Smith, the true GOAT of apples.

this is me again saying dems need to stop campaigning on policy and go full vibe/meme based because that's how you get this cohort and there's a lot of them

If you encounter ICE, here's what every New Yorker should know.

Interesting. Unless the price has come down, I'm a little surprised Mehta is willing to shell out what WPG would want. I'm not sure this would get NJ out of the East's mushy middle, but if the gamble does work, does it make it easier to get Quinn? Could they even afford it?

Holy shit, take the 30 seconds to read this. Wow. What a colossal shitbird.

The whole thing where they do speeches from behind glass really feels like such a chickenshit move that I don't feel like anyone really criticised at all. Maybe if you have to worry that much about the heat, you shouldn't be in the kitchen. Seems very un-Alpha.

Made a little video about my reporting on “Tommy” from the viral @abdulelsayed.bsky.social town hall

What’s extremely important to remember in this is that for a fascist/authoritarian regime to take hold, it requires the population turning on itself. The government does not have the numbers to do it on its own, it needs people willing to sell each other out and others living in constant fear.

When Weld County tried to secede from Colorado over a decade ago, the thing that the proto-MAGA kept saying was that the vote was about demonstrating how serious they were to make the state take their concerns seriously. Hopefully Canada chooses to ignore and marginalize those dipshits.

Man I love fries

It's disheartening to see the largest publications in the nation not cite original reporting from independent/individual reporters. Not one mention of @marisakabas.bsky.social's work in ID'ing Tommy. Instead, the WSJ implies that Tommy came forward himself. Disingenuous, at best.

CARTOON OF THE DAY 😳 (Former chair of the Tennessee Libertarian Party👇🏽)

Part of the answer to "how did we get here?" is that many major journalists—since 1998, Crawford has covered SCOTUS for PBS, ABC, and CBS—are lying bigots. Here Crawford is praising a guy who asked a dumb racist question, glitched out when asked why, then admitted he wanted a Christian theocracy.

Since we're talking about Jan Crawford's bigoted comment about @abdulelsayed.bsky.social, here's a post I did about how she helped Bill Barr impugn the Russian investigation. emptywheel.net/2019/05/31/b...

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

fine. get them into a committee room and let them assert that it is their first amendment right to be biased on the record. let them admit it is their editorial *choice*. that they have some agency. couldn't care less if MSNow has to do the same. stop letting them hide their biases.

Never mind, the full answer here is almost perfect.

So when does the EU snatch up Elon during a visit there and then prosecute him and take everything he owns? Hell, if you do it after November or 6 weeks ago, MAGA doesn't even care about him. He's only a useful idiot while he's spending money.

It’s taking a long time for people to wake up to the fact that these platforms are not public forums but privately owned companies with terrible agendas and total control. If you lay down with these dogs…

One wonderful thing you can do with your money is give some of it to me every month, by subscribing to my frankly excellent website, hockeyviz.com/subscribe. This is wonderful in two ways, because I get your money and you get beautiful understanding of hockey. This thread has some details!

An effective opposition party would be prepared to prosecute and execute the pillars that hold up the fascist regime.
