I do enjoy Carolina style!
this is very good to know!
the sauce is a problem! (I’m type 2 and don’t use insulin, so ymmv)
“consider hummus as a healthy alternative.” I like hummus but also, fuck you
In this episode, @sarahjones.bsky.social & I discuss the sponsor of the KS legislation stripping trans people of their drivers licenses, an alum of the Statesmen Academy, a project of Focus on the Family's political arm, something I wrote about in 2022:

googled “can diabetics eat barbecue.” huge mistake. there are things I would rather not know
New Reign of Error episode is with the great @sarahjones.bsky.social, and we talk about how the Christian right tries to mainstream its sadistic war on trans people, its escalating anti-abortion strategies, and the weird evangelical-MAHA politics:

thank you so much for having me on!
Nobody hates living veterans more than Republicans. Dead veterans they can exploit in videos. But living veterans with opinions and medical needs are literally offensive to conservatives.
NOT JUST THIS:
Two other Democratic lawmakers in North Carolina who sided with the GOP to overturn vetoes of major bills (e.g. anti-trans legislation) are also losing in their primaries so far to progressive challengers.
This could be a major night in NC.
What often gets missed in stories about declining birth rates is that they're due to declines specifically among young women. Young women are exercising reproductive autonomy and are making considered decisions about whether and when to have children.
This is a good thing.
And so First Things (the leading Catholic magazine of religion and public life) joins evangelicals in making the pivot from “Christian nationalism isn’t a real thing” to “Actually, Christian nationalism is awesome and we need it!”
Jim Bakker is still at it, teaching Biblical prophecy

a lot to consider here, but: “the back of her cervix?”
Border Patrol released Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a 56 yo man, nearly blind with serious medical conditions, at "an old address & his family had since moved" in Buffalo, NY in the winter. "His family was not initially notified." He was found dead. @news4buffalo.bsky.social

But this isn’t just a regular account. Johnny MAGA appears to actually be a White House staffer named Garrett Wade who works for the Trump administration as a rapid response manager, helping to run the very same White House account his anonymous MAGA account amplifies. A phone number associated with Wade is linked to Johnny MAGA, according to a WIRED review of publicly available records, and the connection was confirmed by a source close to the White House. Wade and the White House did not respond to requests for comment.
The Johnny MAGA account was created in September 2021, according to its X profile. (It originally used a different handle, which referenced Wade’s birth year, according to records reviewed by WIRED.) While the account’s earliest available posts focused on NFTs, it has been a consistent pro-Trump presence since at least 2022. The operator of the Johnny MAGA account has not disclosed an official relationship with the White House while operating the Johnny MAGA X account. Multiple media outlets, including Mother Jones, TownHall, and the New York Post, have all linked out to posts on the Johnny MAGA account seemingly as organic reflections of public sentiment on political issues.
This is very good reporting that sheds light on just how small the extremely pro-Trump online right really is. The online right is totally astroturfed. The White House's own staffers are running meme accounts to make them look more popular than they are. www.wired.com/story/a-whit...
We analyzed the data leak from White Date, a white supremacist dating site, with an eye for what it could tell us about Texas politics. We found that Texas users included multiple neo-fascist activists, as well as former and active duty military members, and more.

the diabetes storyline is good and I am overall glad they showed it, but I feel similarly
if this version of me existed, I’m sure she’d be upset right now
you’re telling me that following Doug J. Balloon is not an act of praxis??
Gaby del Valle is one of the best reporters I know and the attacks against her on here are not only shocking in their violence and bigotry but also incredibly bad-faith and utterly without merit.
they aren’t, and I haven’t suggested otherwise. I’m not ranking social media sites, I’m saying, specifically, that Bluesky is toxic in its own way
it means that people desperately need to go outside and touch grass
what is that supposed to mean?
this is correct. people have completely lost the plot on here
