If your thing is inventing demons on the left in order to depict progressivism as some kind of disease, go be a Republican. I think Beshear is basically a good guy, but this kind of self-credentialing is pandering trash.
The sanitization and sanctification of Michael Jackson is one of those subjects I can't seem to talk about with calmness or rationality; I just stare at these money-machine enterprises and feel revulsion. I think I'll skip the discourse on this upcoming movie.
There are two things going on here. One is "Well, I still like his music and I can separate it from the man"—which, fine!—and the other is this: a top-down profit-seeking effort to make you feel a certain way and forget certain things. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/14/m...
When someone posts something that looks like this.
With airspace between every sentence to emphasize profundity.
Even in sentence fragments.
Because of concision.
Which is the most powerful weapon we have.
The likelier it is that you are reading some terrible overshared AI-generated crap.
"We lost 13 men"
At least three of these fatalities were women:
♦️Capt. Ariana Savino
♦️Technical Sergeant Ashley Pruitt
♦️Sergeant First Class Nicole Amor
I found this out with about 30 seconds of Googling.
The Commander-in-Chief still doesn't know.
If you're not familiar with Sebastian Gorka, here's a brief summary:
♦️Think of the smarmiest, dumbest, most egotistical, most dishonest, and most flat-out buffoonish person in the current Administration, apart from the President himself.
...You've just imagined Sebastian Gorka.
Spoiler alert:
-It did.
In my experience writing for @theatlantic.com & other top-tier magazines, there's no way these claims would have been put in print without the receipts.
Kash may be dumb enough to believe it's all made-up.
If so, he's in for a rough day in court.
Plus, fiction is a great way to escape reality for a while! #booktherapy #books #therapy #booksky #fiction #fantasy
Reading matters
Why does fiction matter?
Because stories can sharpen the way we understand other people.
A meta-analysis found that reading fiction has a small but positive effect on social cognition. Including our ability to interpret emotions, motives, and inner lives.

All three of Trump's fired Cabinet members have been blatantly unfit for their jobs.
Of course, so are all of the Cabinet members who haven't been fired.
@jonahblank.bsky.social fyi...
You sacrificed every value you ever had for him.
And he sacrificed you-- twice:
-Once when he reneged on his nomination for Ambassador to UN.
-Once when he declined to endorse you for NY Gov.
Now you're STILL sacrificing what's left of your reputation for him.
♦️And he won't even remember your name.
As a reader, I have to ask did he
detract though? It seemed to me he rather elegantly shut down the discussion, by pointing out that by saying "not value-added behavior" instead of simply saying "not useful", you are guilty of using the very hollow jargon you are preaching against.
“It begs the question: How does someone so erratic, incompetent and delusional actually end up in charge?”
We see what you did there, @eddiemuller.bsky.social

I'm so out of patience with this kind of mockery. Yes, progressive language is jargon-y and occasionally irritating. You know how long ago that started? Roughly the dawn of time. So be irritated privately. But whining about it is like discrediting a picket sign because you hate the font.
People using the term "justice involved population" is Not. A. Real. Problem. And mocking it in a speech is like calling Democrats "pronoun-obsessed." It's playing to the cheapest seats in the house.
Zuck blew how much on his Metaverse flop?! 🤨
"The bloodbath is unfolding as Zuckerberg shifts more resources toward the development of AI. Meta, which is scrambling to keep pace with rivals like Anthropic and OpenAI, has teed up $135 billion in capital spending this year alone."

Six years after he directly participated in an attempted coup d'etat, he has lost his bar license.
He still holds at least two cushy sinecures with university affiliations (Claremont & U Colorado).
This might be the closest thing to accountability that any top-tier Jan 6 plotter will ever see.
This is accurate.
I miss President Obama so much. I will love that man forever.
Was he perfect? No.
But he was a man filled with decency, with an aura that moved your soul. He never punched down on people or dehumanized groups for a laugh. He understood the solemnity of the office, and he remains such a good man.
Voting on spy powers at 2am will definitely help with trust in the government!
BLITZER: Trump posted an image of himself as Jesus, which he later deleted. In your view, were those posts blasphemy?
STEFANIK: I know CNN loves to focus on the tweets and memes of President Trump. I look at his record of results.He has strong support from Catholics like me.
As Belize once said to Roy Cohn, "Everything I want is in the end of you."
BREAKING: The U.S. bishops’ Committee on Doctrine just issued a formal statement defending Pope Leo XIV's teaching authority on just war doctrine — less than twelve hours after JD Vance told a Turning Point USA crowd the pope should “be careful” talking theology.
This is a serious escalation.
It's really not a good idea to try to be a debate-me bro with the Pope. Especially when you have only been a Catholic since, like, last Tuesday.

WATSON COLEMAN: What would you say to the mothers of the kids who died because of your dismantling of USAID? Harvard says there are more than 100,000 of them
