A Gilson @adamgilson.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Almost always, yes, but Chef Reactions gets a pass because his commentary is hilarious 010
A Gilson @adamgilson.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I'm sure he'll be as good of a media mogul as he was an actor 050
A Gilson @adamgilson.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I've been a fan of Sarah Longwell for a while, but she's risen even more in my estimation after blocking piece of shit David Sirota. 100
A Gilson @adamgilson.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Great example of this is the Ohio Republican Party, run by the shittiest, most insufferable young pricks you can find. And they're running a loathsome turd in Vivek Ramaswamy for governor. They're all the loud, insufferable "debate me" bro crowd, and that's every candidate's energy now. 1271
A Gilson @adamgilson.bsky.social · 20/09/2026First, ew. Second, he'll use the well actually, epebophile defense 020
A Gilson @adamgilson.bsky.social · 16/09/2026My old iron-clad rule is that the person trying to make the most hay out of their opponent not debating is the candidate who's losing. So this post from you doesn't make me feel good, Abdul. 010
A Gilson @adamgilson.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Aw hell, I was chair of my county Democratic party during that election. First election for me, I voted for Ivan Itkin. Stacy Garritty is going to say to Ivan's ghost this year, "hold my beer." 041
A Gilson @adamgilson.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Republicans will be racist and low and foul for as long as they get some political advantage from it. Once their depravity becomes a political liability, they'll start to disavow it. But only then. 000
A Gilson @adamgilson.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Right, we're agreeing on this. There simply aren't enough data points on a ballot to know the answer. (Also, those of us who have looked at actual ballots in the past know voters are all over the map when they cast their votes.) 150
A Gilson @adamgilson.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Well there is a way to measure undercount ... Total # of ballots cast - Total number of votes for the Senate race = the undervote. But that tells us exactly nothing, to your point, because it could indicate Republicans not voting for Paxton. 240
A Gilson @adamgilson.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Oh no, you sit behind a keyboard! Unlike the person who writes the incitement account posts through telepathy! 020
A Gilson @adamgilson.bsky.social · 04/08/2026Either Max wants to take his seat/party down with him ... or he'll drop out after the deadline and resign, with a special election on the same day as the general election, and the Repub nominee for the special election also running as a write-in for the full term. 020
A Gilson @adamgilson.bsky.social · 04/08/2026That's basically where I am with it. And I'm no stranger to writing dumb shitposts on social media that are based in some but aren't intended to be enlightening. Hell, I've written a few today. I'm also not running for anything. Were I, I'd have to explain better than she did 0160
A Gilson @adamgilson.bsky.social · 04/08/2026I just listened to it—it's a pretty bad example of political communication. Overly rehearsed while also being evasive. At least start with "No, of course not." Then go on from there and explain what you were talking about originally. 1760
A Gilson @adamgilson.bsky.social · 04/08/2026When voters vote for something, it's usually on the voters, ya know? 000
A Gilson @adamgilson.bsky.social · 31/07/2026And yes this might escape the confines of my own curated experience and get me attacked, but probably not. 000
A Gilson @adamgilson.bsky.social · 31/07/2026Which sort of goes to prove the larger point that you can't attack "Bluesky" as a singular thing in the way that you can Twitter, any more than you can attack, say, "paper" when talking about books. 100
A Gilson @adamgilson.bsky.social · 31/07/2026Ok so I heard that there's a Ken Jennings/trans community dustup going on here at Bluesky, and I heard this in the context of "Bluesky says this" and "Bluesky piles onto Jennings" and ... Funny thing is that I only heard about this via a screenshot sent to me and a post on Twitter and not here 100
A Gilson @adamgilson.bsky.social · 30/07/2026For the record, I've been calling out Moreno as an incorrigible scumbag since before he was elected. 000
A Gilson @adamgilson.bsky.social · 28/07/2026I'm half surprised Trump hasn't decided to "compensate" the Morouns by having the federal government "buy" the Ambassador Bridge for a few billion. 160
A Gilson @adamgilson.bsky.social · 27/07/2026Oh, the whole thing was incredibly stupid. I especially loved the people who waxed nostalgic about their old-time memories of eating in this steel boxes beside the interstate offramp, and how the logo change just destroyed it all for them. 051
A Gilson @adamgilson.bsky.social · 27/07/2026Could be that the logo "debacle" is the reason. Or it could be that the logo change was intended to help reverse a long decline, the decline never was reversed, and the CEO is finally out as a result. Yeah, I think it's the latter. 171
A Gilson @adamgilson.bsky.social · 10/07/2026Wait so you're telling me it takes more to win than some tired lefty talking points and a nice introductory campaign video 030
A Gilson @adamgilson.bsky.social · 09/07/2026My town still has a downtown hardware store in which the clerks are aggressively helpful and will take you right to the little 52-cent thing you want to buy. And that's great and all, but sometimes I just want to browse. 120
A Gilson @adamgilson.bsky.social · 09/07/2026Well to be fair, I'm an 80s kid whose young mind was blown when I learned that "self-service" supermarkets were a fairly recent invention, and that you used to just go to a counter and ask a guy to get you what you wanted, and he added it to a ledger and you settled up at the end of the month. 170
A Gilson @adamgilson.bsky.social · 06/07/2026I've been dismayed for a while that LeftGPT talking points with a nicely shot video was all that it took to win over so many people like the Pod Jons 030
A Gilson @adamgilson.bsky.social · 06/07/2026I'm so shocked to hear that the guy with the Nazi tattoo turned out to be a piece of shit 000
A Gilson @adamgilson.bsky.social · 06/07/2026Will the next UFC fight also be held in the missile proof ballroom? 072
A Gilson @adamgilson.bsky.social · 06/07/20261. Harry Enten is an obnoxious, insufferable douche, even when he's trashing Trump. Utterly unwatchable and unlistenable. 2. Kalshi sounds like an organic cereal brand. 180
A Gilson @adamgilson.bsky.social · 04/07/2026 Ben is a little less relevant now that AI slop stole his gig 010
A Gilson @adamgilson.bsky.social · 01/07/2026Somehow that's not the most absurd part of this tableau 120
A Gilson @adamgilson.bsky.social · 01/07/2026This is performative and egregious! ... Says the network showing it live 0131
A Gilson @adamgilson.bsky.social · 30/06/2026Well I should hope so. "Different name than incumbent" is not a constitutional requirement for the office 050
A Gilson @adamgilson.bsky.social · 29/06/2026I'll confess to being the person who returns from a long trip with a suitcase filled with unused clothes 130
A Gilson @adamgilson.bsky.social · 29/06/2026Seems as though families were able to pull this off for decades before the ridiculous road hogs showed up in the past 10 years 1560
A Gilson @adamgilson.bsky.social · 29/06/2026Because we all laughed and laughed at Harriet Miers and hounded her out, which meant Bush replaced her with this guy 010
A Gilson @adamgilson.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Hello. I am a representative. You are a reporter. I am very obliged to make your acquaintance. My wife is obliged to make your acquaintance. We will reconnect next week. All is well. 0400
A Gilson @adamgilson.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Bill sure talked a tough game in his lil hallway interview. But when push comes to shove he's still a fucking coward 0500
A Gilson @adamgilson.bsky.social · 24/06/2026Car dealerships. Pizza joints. Real estate agents. Basically, any place where you can skim a big profit off the top of some basic inputs. 000
A Gilson @adamgilson.bsky.social · 12/06/2026I do have to give credit to our local scrappy online news organization, Knox Pages, for at least crediting so many projects to ARPA: www.knoxpages.com?s=ARPA Often (usually) missing, though, was just which party made those projects possible. This community voted overwhelmingly for Trump 3 times.knoxpages.comYou searched for ARPA - Knox Pages - Knox County News & Info 010
A Gilson @adamgilson.bsky.social · 12/06/2026Republicans in my town and county in Ohio constantly used ARPA funds to replace things that they simply couldn't get to for forever. Boring things, like, oh, WATER SYSTEMS. Never did I hear credit to Biden and Dems. Whenever I pointed that out in the comments sections, I was laughed at. 160
A Gilson @adamgilson.bsky.social · 09/06/2026Ah yes, it makes total sense that Dems would steal the election but FIRST release vote totals showing a Repub ahead, and THEN change it. 040
A Gilson @adamgilson.bsky.social · 08/06/2026This appeals to the dudes who think it looks really fucking cool to have a huge flag waving from the bed of a jacked-up pickup 1161
