Matthew Shallenberger @mjshally.bsky.social · 6hThis guy wants there to be 2,000-5,000 public state-sanctioned killings every year. That's an average of 5-14 every day. When John wrote "even now many antichrists have come" I wonder if he could have imagined something like this. 030
Matthew Shallenberger @mjshally.bsky.social · 18hBunch of people on here are reacting to that post claiming AI is conscious, and someone said "of course it's a millennial" and I gotta admit I'm stumped on this one. What does being a millennial have to do with holding dumb opinions about AI consciousness? 010
Matthew Shallenberger @mjshally.bsky.social · 14/10/2026I don't remember why I followed Tom Nichols on here but I had to remedy that today. Just too many insufferable posts. 000

Matthew Shallenberger @mjshally.bsky.social · 14/10/2026I will never understand this kind of slavish devotion to such a repugnant person. 100
Matthew Shallenberger @mjshally.bsky.social · 14/10/2026By "work out," he means the country is going to keep lurching from one crisis to the next, just like it has ever since he has occupied the White House, and he'll keep escaping accountability for all the destruction he causes. It's "working out" just fine for him; not so much for the rest of us. 010
Matthew Shallenberger @mjshally.bsky.social · 14/10/2026The look of utter disdain he gives Collins at the end just sent me. Why can't we have more politicians who call out these pathetic Trumpers like this? 010
Matthew Shallenberger @mjshally.bsky.social · 13/10/2026I hate shopping at Walmart. They screw over their employees, and everyone who works there looks just like this: tired and wishing they were anywhere else. That is no disrespect to this lady, who I'm sure is a fine person and deserves far more than flowers. But you can see she's fed up with the BS. 100
Matthew Shallenberger @mjshally.bsky.social · 13/10/2026Well, she certainly didn't get her job for her public speaking abilities. 110
Matthew Shallenberger @mjshally.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Man, it really does seem like a lot of right-wing pundits are just theater kids who couldn't make it in the entertainment biz so they went political. Benny Johnson wants to be a celebrity so bad but the only place he can be is in the right-wing mediasphere. 010
Matthew Shallenberger @mjshally.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Peter Thiel looks more like someone who would be the subject of an antichrist lecture than the one giving it. 000
Matthew Shallenberger @mjshally.bsky.social · 07/10/2026This isn't remotely true, and anyone who thinks it is would be in for a very rude awakening if they had to survive in an America with no foreign trade. 110
Matthew Shallenberger @mjshally.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I gotta be honest: I don't really want to hear from anyone who used to work for or support Trump unless they have specific information on how to stop him or remove him from power. I don't need you to tell me he needs to be stopped. I already know that. I'm not interested in your reputation rehab. 000
Matthew Shallenberger @mjshally.bsky.social · 07/10/2026No, I don't worry about this. What are we doing here, folks? Can we please stay focused on the real ways Trump is harming the country instead of dreaming up fantastical scenarios that have no likelihood of happening? 000

Matthew Shallenberger @mjshally.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I suspected from the way he flashed the poster for half a second and then tried to move on he knew his claims about Jack Smith at a Hawks game were BS. But truth doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is selling the narrative. I guarantee a lot of MAGA still believes Smith was at that game. 000
Matthew Shallenberger @mjshally.bsky.social · 30/09/2026The Eric Schmitt thing is very funny, but there is also zero chance that MAGA doesn't continue to believe that Jack Smith really was at a Hawks game in Atlanta and that proves he was colluding with Fani Willis. If facts could change their minds they wouldn't be three-time Trump voters. 020
Matthew Shallenberger @mjshally.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I think that's pretty much expected behavior for Trump, but what really boggles the mind is how his supporters will join him in defending the J6 rioters while simultaneously claiming to "back the blue." 000

Matthew Shallenberger @mjshally.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I was today years old when I learned that Key and Peele were in Weird Al's music video for "White and Nerdy." They weren't as famous back then and I didn't know who they were. Saw a clip of that video today in an ad for Al's upcoming tour and was like whaaaattt?!? 000
Matthew Shallenberger @mjshally.bsky.social · 24/09/2026So much going on in this photo. Trump making what I can only assume is meant to be a smile but which actually looks like a pained grimace. Melania standing behind him with her characteristic expression that says she'd rather be anywhere else. Xi looking like he's just so weary of all this bullshit. 100
Matthew Shallenberger @mjshally.bsky.social · 23/09/2026This is the essence of "pro-business" conservatism: trusting that corporations whose chief aim is to make a profit will do the right thing on their own. The only time that ever happens is when doing the right thing happens to coincide with doing the profitable thing. Otherwise, you're SOL. 000
Matthew Shallenberger @mjshally.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Some people want you to believe that this guy hates Jews, but that's because they actually hate Muslims. 000
Matthew Shallenberger @mjshally.bsky.social · 21/09/2026I've been a fan of LeBron for basically his entire career. I think a case can be made that he is the greatest individual player to ever play professional basketball. So I'm not just a hater looking for another excuse to hate when I say that this is some bullshit. 100
Matthew Shallenberger @mjshally.bsky.social · 21/09/2026A lot of Protestants, including the tradition I come from, love to hate on the pope and the Catholic Church because of "sola scriptura," but you won't hear them proclaiming this part of Scripture. 010
Matthew Shallenberger @mjshally.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I don't keep up much with what goes on in the evangelical world since I left Twitter (and honestly I'm happier for it) but this seems extreme even for Mohler. Guy threw in with Trump and cooked his brain for real. 120
Matthew Shallenberger @mjshally.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Two thoughts: first, has anyone heard Mitch speak yet? Curious to know if he's verbal or not. Second, will all of the lefty conspiracy theorists now admit that he was alive this whole time? No, they'll just say it's a body double or some other absurd nonsense. 010

Matthew Shallenberger @mjshally.bsky.social · 11/09/2026You know, remembering this is actually a small bit comforting, because after all the nonsense that went on with the Iraq war, at least this particular kind of idiocy was short-lived. They're still called French fries today. Just like someday soon it will be Lake Ontario and the Gulf of Mexico again. 011
Matthew Shallenberger @mjshally.bsky.social · 10/09/2026I am not the kind of person who mocks the death of others, but I also believe strongly that if you want people to remember you fondly in death, you should live your life accordingly. Also, perhaps don't have a well-established track record of dismissiveness toward other people's deaths. 000

Matthew Shallenberger @mjshally.bsky.social · 01/09/2026I actually hate it when liberal or progressive politicians resort to these "no u" insults.

Matthew Shallenberger @mjshally.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Hard to think of a better illustration of just how bad AI is for society than the slop that the US president regularly posts to his social media feed, especially when it's in the service of promoting his regime's reality-disconnected propaganda. 020
Matthew Shallenberger @mjshally.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Something to understand about guys like Partridge and Joel Webbon is that they are trolls who intentionally exaggerate their own ideology for engagement. Don't get me wrong: they really do believe abhorrent things. But they're also deeply unserious people. 030

Matthew Shallenberger @mjshally.bsky.social · 26/08/2026You don't always realize that termites are eating your house until one day you step outside and fall straight through your front porch. This is a metaphor for the Trump administration hollowing out the federal government. 000
