I voted for Bernie Sanders for president twice but if you *don't* get in a fight and your reason is "Bernie told me to sit down" you're a Hall of Famer of Guys Who'd Fight You If They Hadn't Fucked Up Their Shoulder And Also They're On Probation But They're Gonna Come Back With Their Cousin & etc
Vaguely recall that a paroled inmate committing a terrible crime was enough of a scandal to undercut the Dukakis campaign. This is objectively worse in term of Trump's responsibility, but will get a fraction of the attention.
Historian here history first time as tragedy the second time as farce.
They should really make @coletteshade.bsky.social's book mandatory reading at this point

Horrifying. Jesus Lord in heaven.
if you live in or near a city you probably either walk or drive past multiple such churches daily!!! it's mindboggling
NOOOOOOOOOOO lol
Thoughts & prayers to the EPA :(
You know what was smart of me, though? CRUSHING ALL MY REPS ANYWAY
It was not very smart of me to lift heavy on a day when I had three hours of sleep and a Fitbit “preparedness“ score of… 14
the rage takes about christianity you see on bluesky is reactionary backlash to the christian freaks and perverts fucking the country over and believe me, i get it. but the end result is religious intolerance masquerading as progressivism and it’s ignorant, immoral and just has huge loser energy.
You GUYS you GUYS
did you know we are less than a week from the new Francis Spufford????

A deeply underreported story. I know so many people struggling to pay their electric bills
I’m fucking trying bro
[guy who has only interacted with rapture evangelicals interacting with their second religious person]: getting a lot of rapture vibes here
"'reform ICE' is a terrible slogan that is too extreme to attract voters"
Nathan, even among well educated politically aware libs who should know better there is a broad assumption that they're faking it. It's an unspoken assumption in response to an unasked question.
this is not an amount of money any individual or household should be able to have and we have to abolish both billionaires as a group and the economic system that makes them possible
“If [wealthy, powerful people] can get us to accept that the future’s already settled, AI is already here, the end is already here, then we will create that for them. My most daring idea is to refuse.” — @tressiemcphd.bsky.social
That's right. You got no leg to stand on, Newsom supporters. Shut your hole. We don't need anti trans anti homeless greaseball shit. North Carolina is purple, it's not some blue stronghold.
You know, I have an MFA and have never been to AWP even once. I should go sometime just for the experience
DO IT DO IT
This is starting to feel like vintage GWOT stuff when every 3 months or so they’d proudly proclaim they got “Al Qaeda’s #2”
I have seen a lot of cursed stuff in my time in academia but this is among the *most* cursed.
Grammarly is generating miniature LLMs based on academic work so that users can have their writing ‘reviewed’ by experts like David Abulafia, who died less than two months ago.
Bless you. I hope you feel better quickly.
I do think we’ve got a responsibility to really sit with the truth that some Trump administration things we’re horrified by were Obama administration things too, and we just didn’t listen.
The entire Democratic strategy debate — "moderate" or move left? fight or compromise? — is based on a misreading of data. Voters don't think Dems are too progressive; they think Dems are weak. The actual math on what to do about this isn't even close!

One of the main reasons bosses wanted to crush the tight 21-23 labor market, and elected Trump to ensure they would, was because workers wouldn't put up with shit like this in a world where unemployment was 3%
y’all don’t need me to tell you this but this is plainly unconstitutional under any remotely rational reading of the constitution
