The cover of the 2004 book, "bad cat - 244 not-so-pretty kitties and cats gone bad," a certified #1 New York Times bestseller. The cat pictured is sitting on a green and cream linoleum floor, has a visible snaggletooth, and looks the description in the subtitle.

Agree it's never where the greatest stuff is, with the exception of perhaps 1 (one) title

Leo with a Virgo rising here and can confirm I feel extremely attacked by this

The Inside Story of Five Days That Remade the Supreme Court

it is, among other things, incredibly striking to see that roberts was so solicitous of the burden the clean power plan might put on fossil fuel executives, when, a decade later, he is indifferent to the way trump’s moves have thrown hundreds of thousands of lives into turmoil.

this is where I am.

It's a sign of a failed society when it continues to platform people who consistently get big things wrong. We should not still be subjected to most of the people writing Op-Eds at the New York Times who spent DECADES getting everything about war AND peace wrong.

It's not the job he hates - it's all of us. Trump despises America & Americans. He may be old & addled, but deep in his psyche he is aware of his having been a cultural punchline throughout his lifetime. We used to make fun of this asshole on the regular & now he revels in punishing us for it

Repeating "Oh no. Toilet" to myself all day.

I like this because it articulates the conservative concept of freedom in a nutshell. You have the freedom to do x, except you don't, because I don't want you to. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Ah! Well. Nevertheless,

I think often of a New York Times photo of a little Iraqi girl tending to her parakeets in a bombed house, probably from 20 years ago now. I will think of this man and his sweet dog often now too. People just want to love what they love, care for their little beings, and instead we do this to them

Free yourself of the temptation to fedpost by succumbing to the flow. You cannot intervene now. This is playing at levels of power you cannot and will not influence.

If you could, your elected officials would be responding to public sentiment that this is illegal

A sick, depraved and evil global hegemon, enabled by a sick, depraved and fundamentally broken international system, staffed top-to-bottom by lackeys, lickspittles, half-wits, mediocrities, dinosaurs and dogs. I cannot begin to express the perpetual simmering rage and disgust I am experiencing.

The United States is behaving in a way that is indistinguishable from how an advanced Third Reich would had it emerged victorious from World War 2, and nearly every leader in the developed world is now abandoning their duty to confront it, having acclaimed and legitimated it every step of the way.

trump supporters are dumb and stupid people and you are better and smarter than every single of them

Screenshot of the Wikipedia entry on the "Two-person Rule" that describes the US requirements to launch nukes - a key passage reads: Journalist Ron Rosenbaum has pointed out that, once the order is issued, the process is entirely concerned with authenticating the identity of the commanding officers and the authenticity of the order, and there are no safeguards to verify that the order or the person issuing it is actually sane.[3] Notably, Major Harold Hering was discharged from the Air Force for asking the question, "How can I know that an order I receive to launch my missiles came from a sane President?"[3] The two-person rule only applies in the missile silos and submarines; there is no check on the US president's sole authority to order a nuclear launch.[4] Two-person rule - Wikipedia https://share.google/6gBsKeL8iaQTcMn1a

Just reading up on what exactly is required to pull off a nuclear weapons launch in the US and, well...

Bridge shot from TNG. We've got unnamed guy with his back to us at a station, just behind Worf at tactical, Picard sitting in the captains chair and then for the main course, standing front and center we have William T. Riker. He's standing tall, arms clasped behind his back, shoulders wide, and his big Riker chest is puffed out as if he's being especially hoity toity for some reason. He also has his head cocked (pun intended) and has a bit of a curious forced grin on his face. Closed caption reads, "Shuttle bay 2, stand by to launch...the Egg."

getting kick out of the artemis II rocket for continually pressing my ass against the window and asking the captain if he sees the moon yet

I wonder if another reason for this is engagement? Not likes/reskeets, but the chat bot interacts w you *instantly* - ppl dont have to wait to see if they got off a banger skeet. I can totally see ppl getting sick of waiting on engagement from strangers & instead posting their hot takes to chatgpt🤷‍♀️

A nation that never has to pay Jeb Lund on war with Iran and war with Iran and war with Iran and Florida

I want to thank @lukeoneil47.bsky.social for giving me space to traipse through history, thinking about growing up near military bases on both coasts, and the long cost of wars sold without sacrifice. [GIFT LINK]

I think more than anything else AI feels like a miracle to people with questionable literacy because it can read and write for you, and a lot of us who are highly literate underestimate how many of our society's leaders, esp in business, struggle with literacy.

This makes me ill

I've said it before and will say it again, human beings' ability to compartmentalize is incredible. This pathetic racist very old man in cognitive decline has access to the nukes that can destroy us all.
