In fact, this is the movie my dad took my older siblings to see while I was being born

I do think “Graham Platner was a bartender who personally served some DC pundits and reporters and was known to them” is a pretty big part of the skeleton key to unlocking how he got so much cash and media attention so fast and why they’re so determined to stay all in on him now

ICE cannot be reformer. DHS was poison from the beginning.

Abolish ICE
Dismantle DHS.
Prosecute every person who violated the law or abused the public trust.

A brown penguin chick of some kind. It looks very much like a man in a suit. It is bedraggled and miserable

Made it to Friday but at what cost

First they came for the trans people, and I said nothing because I wasn’t trans. Then they were like actually I’m pretty sure you are trans and I said no I’m not and they went okay well show us your penis then and I said what no get out of my face and they said that one’s a girl get her

Shouldn't employment be soaring as red-blooded Americans take back all the jobs the immigrants Noem et al. kidnapped allegedly stole from us?

A couple of brilliant Oscar noms, an underrated remake, and a Beatle on his sheep farm.

Who Will Remember You?: “The Secret Agent” and the Humanities as Resistance How Kleber Mendonça Filho's film positions archival, art, and preservation as tools of resistance.

"In the world of the movie and throughout all of Mendonça Filho’s filmography, remembrance is an act of resistance as much as it is an act of love,” writes @daniellamazzio.bsky.social about THE SECRET AGENT.

Trying to imagine Jake Tapper’s reaction if Biden had been asked if we should expect terror attacks in the U.S. as a result of the Afghanistan withdrawal and Biden had responded “I guess”

OT but my ten year old son just got really into “Here Comes Your Man” which I never really looked at the lyrics until recently because he was asking me what it was about. Lyrically it’s about train hopping hobos during an earthquake but performed like a song about being excited to see somebody imo

He wouldn't even sacrifice custom draperies for his new "ballroom"

I gather everyone here is 100% certain Thomas Jefferson was a white supremacist racist.

I also gather you're trapped in an epistemic chamber sealed tighter than the one around Fox News.

So, who here actually knew that Franklin fathered Black children?

And how does that influence your certainty?

I love how unambigiously, if occasionally cringy, woke the Pitt is. Last episode alone we had highlighted

*weight prejudice in healthcare
*neglect of black women's pain
*ICE leaving kids parentless
*Trump admin killing research

it's both openly political & in a context that impels political commentary. You can't spend hours in an urban ER & not think about this kind of stuff

The media always treats the more sensational Trump accusations in the Epstein files with a level of skepticism that would be appropriate for Jimmy Carter, not the guy who bragged about sexual assault on tape, was adjudicated guilty of sexual assault, and is currently overseeing murder dot gov.

Slurs Filled a Chat Created by a Republican Party Official in Florida After the secretary of the Miami-Dade County Republican Party created the chat for college students, it devolved into slurs against Black and Jewish people.

damn it’s crazy how the slurs filled the chat all by themselves. couldn’t be helped i’m sure. chats are always devolving of their own accord

He's putting up record job losses, driving the country into a war he can't even explain, and was credibly accused of raping a teenager in the Epstein files released yesterday - so of course it's time to try and ruin more trans people's lives

Folks with expertise are still there, apparently: bsky.app/profile/erik...

An elderly woman who won statewide office twice in a state where that is very tricky and who told Trump "fuck you, see you in court" rather than throw trans kids under the bus.
There are things I don't like about her but Platnerites are pretty dishonest about her record.

So Philip Glass just joined TikTok. He only has like 4 posts and they’re simply him in what I assume is his living room playing the piano. First comment on one I saw was “your piano is too close to the fireplace, you’ll dry it out” and if that’s not the internet in a nutshell I don’t know what is.

imagine being a history buff and getting this random tattoo on your chest that you look at every day in the mirror and then when you watch history documentaries for the next 20 years you never notice that all the nazi uniforms had your chest tattoo on their hats?

Asked if Americans should worry about Iran retaliating against Americans on U.S. soil, President Donald Trump responded, “I guess.”

If that's all it is, why are they constantly lecturing people who don't even live in ME for not liking him? He should be fine if he's ahead without all this yelling at people for "living in a Bluesky bubble".

I may have committed a little light antisemitism

More songs should start like Monkey Gone to Heaven. "There was a guy." Ok I'm listening, what's this guy up to

Turns out lawlessness is not a winning strategy. See you at Nuremberg 2.0

damnit I hoped they were going to make the chief concubine position permanent

But I would contend that mass adoption of Matthew Sweet's Girlfriend album would have pointed us closer to utopia

I once saw the Gin Blossoms open for Toad so can confirm they are in fact different bands and Pale is a great record

He went on a neonazi podcast like a week ago
