"You have a successful effort at times to muzzle conservatives, and when you learn about what's alleged in the indictment it should make you check yourself" -- Acting AG Todd Blanche is on Newsmax taking a victory lap for the SPLC indictment, giving away the game as to what this is truly about

Doctor to patient: "Try to reduce your stress level, and if you somehow succeed please let me know how in God's name you did it."
I thought this felt relatable
Only Nixon could go to China
AOC is all sensible Americans right now, Americans who have completely lost patience with the wildly incompetent, lying loons currently running things who undermine our sanity, wealth, and wellbeing.
I've got to say they picked a really interesting time to tell individual investors they should be getting into riskier investments. Maybe not so savvy.

Starting a mid-decade redistricting war only to end up with -1 seats is the same fine strategic genius and subtle grasp of game theory that brough us the Strait of Hormuz.
After France, Denmark is moving too: its Digitalisation Ministry plans to phase out Microsoft, switching to Linux and LibreOffice in the coming months. The goal is clear—reduce dependence on a handful of global tech giants and strengthen digital sovereignty.
Fractures Emerge Between GOP’s Pro-Pedophilia, Extremely Pro-Pedophilia Wings
In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces.
249 years later, we have this idiot.
Chart showing the Senate race is a virtual dead heat.
The Economist published a new statistical forecast saying it's a virtual sure thing Dems take the house. More interesting is their Senate projection, which is an absolute dead heat.
The tallest building in Little Rock, AR used to be called the TCBY Tower. We're 100% down for a FroYo resurrection.
It's so frustrating watching Israel commit war crime after war crime and then claim 'that little girl was a terrorist! That family were terrorists!' over and over and over. Anyone who supports the Israeli government at this point has no excuse.
Shabana Mahmood says "you’re trying to put me in a box, which includes a lot of people who think I don’t even belong in my own country." Which is ironic, since her policies would seem to indicate SHE'S the one who thinks that.

I'm pretty sure they're planning to spend so much money that the ad basically seeps into everybody's brain. No need for nuance when you've got a billion dollars to just repeat nonsense over and over and over and over.
A former British diplomat took the gloves off when discussing how many people the US will allow to die to fund its pointless war in Iran. 87 million people is such an incomprehensibly huge number of lives to lose for no good reason.

Infowars/Onion combo logo in rainbow saying “I support the onion’s hostile media takeover.”
It’s finally happened. After 18 months. Finally, a media merger you can root for.
With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.
We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director.
Please stand by for more.
Can't count how often I've had this convo recently: "I’ve never lived through such dark times. When I talk to people my age, we’re like: “We weren’t prepared for this. We thought things would improve.” Not: “Oh my God, the world is run by Satan’s occult members.”

If you're on bluesky, you probably think in general having a massive corporation control what we do is bad. That's why you should be concerned about Google's plan to take over Android completely. Any app, anytime, could just disappear.

This is your friendly reminder that the US Government gunned down a saint.
Or maybe the CIA just happened to be nearby. I'm sure it's a coincidence.
Just saw a dark money ad from "America One" telling me Tom Cotton opponent Hallie Shoffner supports the 'radical transgender California Kamala Harris elite agenda' or some such rubbish. I'm off to make a donation, and so should you.

Power outage in Old Town, Conway. The neighbor kids immediately rushed outside with their phones as lights to play a night game of basketball. The kids are alright!
I've discovered that @paramountplus.com is aggressively anti ad block, but their app doesn't tell you this, it just fails. Or maybe their app just fails - I can't tell. I use pihole to block at the router, and their app suddenly stopped showing me shows. I was going to cancel anyway, so no loss.
On Sunday’s mass murder in Shreveport:
"[Most] cases involve a male killer armed with a gun who ultimately kills himself or is killed after murdering multiple close family members... a July 2023 Indianapolis Star investigation found they had been occurring across the US every five days on average."
Here we all are on social media
This is hilarious. We all knew it wouldn't hold, and yet the markets went wild. I assume they'll all panic on Monday, rinse and repeat

The fact that Mamdani just seems like a cheerful normal guy who's policies are things like "we're going to tax second homes to fund pothole repairs" or whatever and yet this generates panicked responses like "This is basically Stalin's great purge turned up to eleven" is... telling. It tells things.
