- I would love to see someone rich ( @mcuban.bsky.social for example) put together a find to target vulnerable Republicans in next years election. Pick 10-12 including some sleepy likely to lose and pump money into beating all of them.
- This is nuts.
- How long before some MAGA congressman proposed a Trump Monument?
- Spotted going up at USDA today…
- I bet that thing is flammable.
- The Dear Leader sees all.
- This is sickening. How do these people go home after work and not hate themselves?
- " ... at the end of the day, when you hold your hand on your chest and you say 'liberty and justice for all,' it should mean something to all of us.” Interview with the NH man who was detained for two months and mistreated for no good reason. Just an appalling story. www.wgbh.org/news/local/2...

- Sounds about right.

- I could fuck everything up for half that.

- Trump is famously consistent.
- every interview with this guy makes me tear up
- Pepe Mujica, the anarchist guerilla who became president of Uruguay, has passed on. He leaves behind as good a legacy as it's possible to leave. So it goes. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

- In the 1980s, American fascists tried to turn Idaho into a white Christian nationalist homeland for “refugees” from American multi-racial democracy and religious pluralism. One such community was called “Aryan Nations.” So this tracks perfectly . www.idahostatesman.com/news/politic...

- The party of states' rights. A ban on state-level AI regulation would put Americans at risk
- Is there reading you would recommend about anarchism? It's never made much sense to me.
- Learned of this movie tonight, apparently a favorite of Natasha Lyonne. You'll be astounded by this cast. www.youtube.com/watch?v=as6I...
- A classic
- One good thing about Trump's SCOTUS granted immunity is that he will undoubtedly also do major crimes after leaving office
- There are definitely people who need to be shamed after death. One of them is currently and temporarily, President of the US

- Hah!
- Happy 75th b’day, Stevie — who once said he writes the music first and lets the lyrics find their own way. One example: a tune was going to be about religion. "But then, .. we were in the studio, talking about things that happened when we were kids, back in the day. So it turned into 'I Wish.'"
- I remember him in the beach movies as Little Stevie. What a career.
- Went to the outlet mall and bought some clothes for our upcoming trip. I don't know why, but buying clothes always makes me uncomfortable. It feels extravagant. I have no problem spending money on other things, like this expensive trip we are taking, but buying clothes gets me. No idea why.
- I'm not religious, but I am totally down with a lot of the things Jesus stood for. Like feeding the poor and welcoming the stranger. A lot of su called Christian need to read and internalize Matthew 25:31-40.
- Apparently, Qatar isn't even bringing him with a NEW plane. The thing is 13 years old.

- At the Webby Awards.
- Congrats on the wins.
- Lots of people talking about this, but, uh... not enough people are talking about his willingness to talk without a lawyer present.
- “The reason they’re doing [this] is to try to create an environment of fear, to try to get people like myself... to shut the fuck up,” Piker said on a stream recounting the details of the incident. www.usermag.co/p/hasan-pike...

- TBF, Ken, you know how hard it is to get a podcaster to stay quiet
- To the folks over 40, how confident you are with pulling off a decent cartwheel upon demand? No practicing; must be done in one take.
- Have never been able to do one in my life
- Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the health secretary, posted photos on Sunday of himself and his grandchildren swimming in a contaminated Washington creek where swimming is not allowed because it is used for sewer runoff.
- Child Protective Services needs to have a chat with those kids' parents
- I clip of me working on The Thin Man from last year.
- That's wonderful.
- RFK Jr., the foolish kook splashing about in raw sewage, is in charge of protecting our health. These are monumentally stupid times we are living in.
- Seems like a visit from Child Protective Services is in order.
- Just FYI because evidently Fox or OAN or whatever is pushing the lie that America accepted the Statue of Liberty and that’s equivalent to the plane. Congress VOTED to approve receiving the statue. So congress should vote on the jet
- And President Cleveland didn't put it in his yard art home when he left office

- Remind me who was President in 2020.
- The New World screwworm is endemic in parts of Latin America and the Caribbean — and its northward spread into Mexico has alarmed U.S. officials. It can kill a full-grown cow in one to two weeks.

- Auchincloss: "You gotta give credit to Trump as a marketer. He creates uncertainty and havoc by raising tariffs, and then claims victory when he lowers the tariffs that he himself put in place. All this does is extend uncertainty for another 90 days."
- And it makes his cronies and family serious money in the markets.
- See if you can outdo this, @nytpitchbot.bsky.social, for putting a genteel spin on unlawful and unconstitutional bribes."
- "Trump's illegal and unconditional plan..."
- Hasan did nothing wrong but please, please do not talk to the Feds the way he did. Please. You might have to stay longer but they are going to try and use whatever you say against you. Stay silent, say you won't speak without an attorney etc. Shut the fuck up Friday applies to streamers!
- In no way should a U.S. Citizen be detained, anywhere, because of their protected speech (and neither should a non-citizen, to be clear). To do so is to violate an oath to the Constitution and the rule of law. www.usermag.co/p/hasan-pike... ( @taylorlorenz.bsky.social )

- The new Apple TV+ show starring Alexander Skarsgård features a mix of special effects-laden action, deadpan humor and social commentary. It deserves a big audience. By @edeggans.bsky.social
