Listening to @livingthestream.bsky.social can't believe you didn't mention mosquitoes. They're already the most deadly insects in terms of annual human deaths. @dennycarter.bsky.social @lateroundqb.bsky.social I demand an official apology.

Listening to @livingthestream.bsky.social and need to weigh in on the name of the hand position Spider-Man uses to shoot webs. Canonically this is known as the "Thwip Position" or, sometimes in circles that tilt to Buddhism, the "Thwip Mudra." Look it up. @dennycarter.bsky.social I know you get it.

Just listening to @livingthestream.bsky.social when this discussion of robes came up. @dennycarter.bsky.social now that you have a beard it's definitely time to get a robe and some Oban Distiller's Edition. @lateroundqb.bsky.social needs to mature a few years before he's ready.

Stinky and the Poo was amazing. @andybehrens.bsky.social this is the rule you were born to play. From "wait, am I the Poo?" to "I think there's only one Poo around here" was comic gold. I'm dying. @harrisfootball.com you were ok too but you have to commit to the bit a little more. 🤣🤣🤣

Hey @andybehrens.bsky.social you are pronouncing your beloved Brendan Fraser's name wrong. He's not a radio psychiatrist from a popular 90s sitcom. Please pronounce it properly, like he was a Scottish laird. It's an "s" not a "z". @brendanfraser.bsky.social back me up here. @harrisfootball.com

Every time someone jumps on socials and says there is no point to mass protest days and visible reaction in the streets, share this chart with them. The approval ratings are tanking not just because they're doing bad things but also because protestors won't let people forget it either.

Vance loves to deploy fabricated racist fearmongering. First Haitians are eating the pets, now Indigenous people sacrificed children?! Sheesh.
Screenshot of a tweet from Brian Allen on X.com. It discusses JD Vance claiming settlers in the New World found “widespread child sacrifice” and that “Christian civilization ended the practice.” The tweet explains historians say this is fabricated and calls it racist revisionism. Below is an image of JD Vance speaking at a Turning Point USA event, standing at a podium with a slide behind him showing "Oxford, MS" and “University of Mississippi.”

California leads the way!
A tweet from FactPost reads: “Gov. Newsom has announced California will be the first state to sell insulin through a state-backed program. It will cost just $11.” Below the text are two images side by side: on the left, California Governor Gavin Newsom standing in front of an American flag; on the right, a close-up of a gloved hand holding a vial labeled “INSULIN (rDNA origin)” with dosage and storage instructions.

My statement on the two year anniversary of October 7, 2023.
“Two years ago today, Hamas carried out a horrific war crime, killing more than 1,100 Israelis and kidnapping 250 more. I mourn these lives and pray for the safe return of every hostage still held and for every family whose lives were torn apart by these atrocities.

In the aftermath of that day, Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Israeli government launched a genocidal war: adeath toll that now far exceeds 67,000; with the Israeli military bombing homes, hospitals, and schools into rubble. Every day in Gaza has become a place where grief itself has run out of language. I mourn these lives and pray for the families that have been shattered. Our government has been complicit through it all.

This must end. The occupation and apartheid must end. Peace must be pursued through diplomacy, not war crimes, and our government must act to end these atrocities and hold those responsible to account.

These last two years have demonstrated the very worst of humanity. We must answer it by modeling the very best: a relentless pursuit of our higher ideals and an unwavering commitment to universal human rights.”

Trump’s lying (again). The shutdown isn’t about ‘illegal aliens,’ it’s about Republicans refusing to extend health care subsidies for millions of Americans.
Truth Social post by President Donald J. Trump that says: 'Every dollar wasted on non-citizens is stolen from veterans, seniors, and working families. Democrats are about to shutdown the government because they demand we fund health for illegal aliens. - JD Vance. Shut it down.'

This week, the Global Sumud Flotilla tried to deliver life-saving aid to Gaza. Instead, 461 people—including New Yorkers—have been detained by the Israeli military. They must be freed at once. And the deliberate starvation of Palestinians must end now.

The post from @realDonaldTrump claims that 24 Karat Gold was used in the Oval Office and Cabinet Room of the White House, impressing foreign leaders and others with its quality and beauty.
