A reminder while Republicans bitch about Dems finishing the redistricting fight they started: they have full control of gov’t— they can pass a law banning gerrymandering any time they want. They won’t. Republicans aren’t mad gerrymandering exists; they’re mad that they’re not the only ones using it.
Love you, brother.
Some of us were hate-watching Arsenal. That turned out to not be rewarding in any sense at all.
your Champions League final four
Bayern: can't defend, can attack
PSG: can defend, can attack
Arsenal: can defend, can't attack
Atletico: can defend, choose to use defense as attack
Why Pope Leo should go on Joe Rogan.
Brother, it’s a struggle over here every day.
Melania: I never cut child in half with sword. I never do this.
The entire USA: what?
Melania: not me.
On this, the day of the Confederacy's surrender, remember that we should have hanged every last one of the bastards.
I think people are allowed to draw conclusions about the American people based on their decision to put this man in office bsky.app/profile/pear...
Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.
Well now, would you look at that?
A massive study of NEARLY 300,000 people in the United States found that receiving an updated mRNA COVID-19 vaccine REDUCED people’s risk of SEVERE disease AND death in ALL age groups, REGARDLESS of immunity from prior infection or vaccination.
"You might say that I’m just somebody who’s focused on what’s really important: Not remembering anything but my feelings and being convinced that I am the arbiter of the human experience because I am the only one who continually exists."
Forza!
New York Times headline reads: "Trump’s Signature to Be Added to U.S. Dollars President Trump is set to be the first sitting president to have his signature appear on America’s currency."
Talked to an HVAC guy who's working two jobs to pay rent. He has no savings and worries about retirement. Tariffs have made it hard for him to import parts. Then this big strong guy who never cries, he said, he said to me, "I just wish Trump's signature was on the dollar." Then he burst out crying.
These are some demented people, man
This is the conservative pitch to most Americans:
Sure, you might be suffering as a result of our policies, but other people -- people who are different from you, people you don't like -- they're suffering a lot more than you, so it all works out.
i feel like if i was tasked with not starting a war and bringing back US manufacturing jobs, i could have done a better job than this
True, but then, pretty sure that if Vidkun Quisling met this guy he'd be all "Wow, what a craven piece of shit."
As a historian, I'd just like to remind the politicians who follow me that it is not, in fact, 2003 anymore and the current GOP war in the Middle East is not, in fact, even remotely popular.
So if you're a weathervane who just tries to do what's already popular, full-throated opposition is it!
Honestly I think the leadup to the Iraq war was worse than all this because the buy-in was so all-encompassing. I keep asking myself how anyone could fall for it again but the thing is, they mostly haven't
Sam Altman picked a hell of a day to basically urge the world to trust the morality and legal restraint of the Department of Defense
Remember, the dim-witted megalomaniacal narcissistic psychopath who has just started a major regional war in the Middle East has unfettered control of approximately 5,177 nuclear warheads.
Excellent thread.
What a wonderful time to have a senile sociopath as president and a talk show drunk as defense secretary.
"Prodigal" means wasteful and extravagant. It does not mean leaving or fleeing. The Prodigal Son was prodigal because he was wasteful and extravagant. He ALSO left home and came back. Same with the new standup special "Prodigal Daughter." Call me a pedant...but don't call me prodigal!
Yoon and Prince Andrew wishing they had a friend like John Roberts.
I feel like…
The president….
Might not…
Consider Black people…
…to be his equals
A screenshot of a tweet by Nick Adams (@NickAdamsinUSA), verified, posted about four hours earlier. The tweet claims he overheard several college women at an OrangeTheory gym talking about “Melania” after a workout. He writes that they admired the First Lady’s “class, humanity, and business acumen,” and includes quoted dialogue using slang like “Period sis” and “Slay queen,” saying they were surprised by her intelligence and talent. The tweet continues with a quote claiming the women said President Trump is a good husband and a gentleman and that the media lies about him. It concludes with the author asserting that the film he references has secured the female vote for the GOP in the midterms.
Of all the things in the history of the world that definitely did not happen - this is the pinnacle.
I think it is OUTRAGEOUS that people are LEAPING to the conclusion that some our post prominent Americans are child rapists when it is EQUALLY PLAUSIBLE that they are simply indifferent to whether other people are child rapists so long as those other people can offer them access to power.
