currently adjusting the calculus of ebike + transit vs car for commuting from "pretty good" to "exceedingly good" and feeling extremely satisfied that i have long paid for my ebike in savings by now
"the White House didn't think to prepare for oil supply shocks before starting a war with Iran" is a sentence too impossibly dumb to believe and yet it is the truth
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
I am begging people to understand the reality of Hotchkiss and other elite New England prep schools. These aren't just really expensive schools, they are places where generations of wealthy people have sent kids to prepare for the Ivy League. They are designed to reinforce certain class dynamics.
Donald Trump slowly turning every Evangelical into an idolator and every liberal into a believer in Satan is a pretty good bit.
Platner supporters are all rubes or Nazis hoping someone wouldn't notice. We see you, and now you can't say you don't know.
I have seen this overlap in real time, same people who echo the “Mamdani needs to reassure Jews” line are also doing the “stop whining about Platner’s Nazi tattoo.” The common denominator is Islamophobia and antisemitism, which are two sides of the same coin.
Yep. “Knowing who to be mad at is praxis” is Mariame Kaba’s quote and it is wisdom for these times. (1/2)
Running for Congress on a platform of sneaking into Polymarket HQ and unplugging all their stuff. Overflow crowds at a local Knights of Columbus hall roar with delight as I promise to pour Florida's Natural Grapefruit Juice (with pulp) into the USB-C port of every computer in the damn place.
WHAT'S UP EVERYONE, ANDREA LAFLAMME IS ON BLUESKY NOW
Sick of Graham Platner's Nazi bullshit? Looking for a younger candidate than Janet Mills? Lucky for us, the great state of Maine has more than two people!!
basically the two movies that explain the entire modern right are fight club and gladiator bsky.app/profile/drew...
what’s even more extraordinary is that the economy was mostly doing okay despite his absolute best efforts - as damaging as his tariffs and immigration policies are, we hadn’t tipped over into a recession
and so, unsatisfied, he decided to kick the economy in the dick with a huge oil shock
Hey Maine - Yall might want to consider this candidate for your Democratic primary. Ya know, someoke who isn't a Nazi.
I think they might have better luck spending two thousand dollars holding a press conference where they detail who made the key decisions to collaborate with the Trump administration, how and when they were fired, and explaining what would stop that from happening again.
he had it for 20 years and he bragged and asked people if they wanted to see “my totenkopf”
just say you love Nazis. the apologism is boring.
As Rachel points out on her Instagram, notice that the guy at the front has a Totenkopf on his quarter zip.
That's why Maine Democrats should not let anyone displaying Nazi symbols near the United States Senate

We all joke so much here. But, alas, I'm serious. I managed restaurants for nearly 20 years before becoming an author and he was, indeed, a plumber in Oklahoma when I ran an Applebees there. The company was called Mullin Plumbing. It appears he stepped down and handed over the company when he got into politics. 2/3 O 2.4K Q12 G 45 V 22 bookandbeerreview 2h *and my final note - I'm not disparaging plumbers here. I come from a VERY blue collar family. My mother managed a Taco Bell and my dad was a contractor. I have a ton of relatives who went to trade school. My point is that I do not wish for any of them to be in charge of homeland securitv. 3/3

Kristi Noem will return in Avengers: Doomsday
Telling Jesus he'll never make it if he keeps being so hostile to wealth. Advising him to moderate his message to appeal to the Galilee suburbs
No, this is not a joke, just the actual combination of what the Trumpist worldview combines to say: that Men are those who pillage, rape, and kill without inhibition, that Men should rule accordingly, and limiting oneself in doing so makes one a Woman and therefore undeserving of the franchise
The thing about Donald Trump is that he really only loves three things: murder, theft, and rape
The other thing about Donald Trump is that he only really hates three things: laws, democracy, and brown people
Worse than the worst War on Terror drone strikes. By innocents killed, worse than multiple of the worst drone strike errors combined.
Would sure be nice!
Adam didn't even write out "The New York Times" lmao their comms team is namesearching NYT on bsky to dunk on independent journalists and I think that is EMBARRASSING OF THEM and he wasn't even writing for the Nation just for his own blog!!
Shuffling Kristi Noem from
government job to government job like she’s a Catholic priest in the 80s
I fucking hate the American culture of entitled asshole selfishness. you see it everywhere. the driver assholes going 90 in a school zone. the assholes who don’t leash their dog or pick up their dog shit. the assholes who litter. the assholes who won’t vaccine their kids
Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM
