policurious @policurious.bsky.social · 14/10/2026Utah did that for a while and it was a tremendous success. Then they stopped funding the project and everything went back to the way it was before... So infuriating. 420414
policurious @policurious.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Good god. At least the numbers indicate this arschloch is getting the ratio he deserves. 000
policurious @policurious.bsky.social · 02/09/2026I didn’t say otherwise. However, I misread the original post as Trump was so angry about losing *the 2020 election* that he installed DeJoy to prevent mail-in ballots in *the 2020 election*. But the post is still problematic. Trump installed DeJoy in May 2020—six months BEFORE the election. 001
policurious @policurious.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Wait—Trump lost the 2020 election because he and Musk "hadn't accounted for [mail-in voting] in advance," and then he "immediately melted down & installed DeJoy at USPS to halt vote by mail"... in the election that he had just lost? I firmly believe some fuckery happened but this ain't it. 211
policurious @policurious.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Came here to say this. DeJoy became Postmaster General in May 2020, six months before the election. And the text doesn't make sense—Trump lost the 2020 election, then "immediately melted down & installed DeJoy at USPS to halt vote by mail"... in that same 2020 election? 071
policurious @policurious.bsky.social · 20/08/2026The air in Salt Lake county looks like the air in 1970s New York City because of inversion, especially in winter. Plus the Great Salt Lake itself is dangerously low, which will cause arsenic dust to blow over the entire valley. www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/d...smithsonianmag.comDrying Great Salt Lake Could Expose Millions to Toxic Arsenic-Laced DustThe largest saline lake in North America is on track to collapse within five years, a new report finds 000
policurious @policurious.bsky.social · 20/08/2026I can't believe she got away with Lecterngate. ... Or, rather, I can believe it, but it's infuriating. 010
policurious @policurious.bsky.social · 20/08/2026I grew up in Arkansas; my parents and two siblings are still there. What we heard ALL THE TIME in the 80s and 90s: "Y'all need to get down on your knees and thank the Lord God Above for Mississippi, 'cuz otherwise you'd would be dead last in everything." Would love to know if they still say that :-) 2102
policurious @policurious.bsky.social · 16/08/2026FYI if you want to avoid supporting the broligarchy: DeepL is a *free* tool out of Köln, Germany that IMO is better than Google Translate (I speak English, German, and intermediate Spanish). It's available online and as a download. Not officially permissible, of course, but could be a first step. 000
policurious @policurious.bsky.social · 16/08/2026FYI in case you want to avoid supporting our broligarch overlords: DeepL is a *free* tool out of Köln, Germany that in my experience is even better than Google Translate (I speak English, German, and intermediate Spanish). It's free and available online and as a download. 010
policurious @policurious.bsky.social · 18/07/2026My partner, dad, brother, and sister-in-law are all left-handed and I always notice this too. (I probably drive my partner nuts because I can't see that someone is left-handed without feeling compelled to point it out to him...) 010
policurious @policurious.bsky.social · 16/07/2026FFS. Methinks she doesn't know what "on behalf of" means and MEANT to say "at the hands of." 030
policurious @policurious.bsky.social · 07/04/2026I first read your comment as an inbred joke, and then realized you might have just meant that their families probably THINK the same way. But of course either option actually works for red states (source: grew up in one). 010
policurious @policurious.bsky.social · 15/03/2026Other than this minuscule thing, please keep up the excellent work! 000
policurious @policurious.bsky.social · 15/03/2026Hi there—I've noticed that both here and on FB, certain separators aren't visible when you post (e.g., "accident wearing" here should be "accident—wearing" or "accident; wearing" or "accident – wearing"). I've wanted to mention it but there are usually already thousands of comments. :-) 101

policurious @policurious.bsky.social · 22/01/2026Jim Jordan needs to stop bouncing in his damn chair. Oh, and also STFU. 130
policurious @policurious.bsky.social · 29/11/2025You demonstrably understand none of these things. What do you think heritage means? Where did your ancestors live before 1602? Why do you think the phrase "you have immigrant heritage" means "you are personally an immigrant"? 020
policurious @policurious.bsky.social · 29/11/2025If your 10x-great-grandparent or whatever was an immigrant, THAT MEANS YOU HAVE IMMIGRANT *HERITAGE*. Nobody is saying that means that you yourself are an immigrant—not even the original quote you're responding to. What the fuck is your problem? 130
policurious @policurious.bsky.social · 29/11/2025JFC. So your ancestors in and after 1602 were born on the American continent (the US didn't exist in 1602). But these ancestors ALSO had parents and grandparents, yes? Those parents and grandparents, etc. are ALSO your heritage! And if they weren't born on the American continent, they IMMIGRATED. 010
policurious @policurious.bsky.social · 28/11/2025So your forebears were immigrants, exactly like it says. Not sure why you think this is a gotcha, unless the word "heritage" is a new one for you. 140
policurious @policurious.bsky.social · 25/11/2025I had it at 13 (despite being vaxxed). Solidarity. :-( 251
policurious @policurious.bsky.social · 25/11/2025My best friend's mom, who is now in her 80s, has walked with a pronounced limp since childhood because of polio. She can move her both her legs and one foot, but she can't lift or move her other foot at all. WTF is wrong with people?! 030
policurious @policurious.bsky.social · 25/11/2025I had it myself at age 13 despite being vaccinated—without vaccination I likely would have died. Yes, it's utterly unforgettable. I will never understand parents who allow their children to suffer needlessly this way. 031
policurious @policurious.bsky.social · 25/11/2025I was vaccinated, but had pertussis at age 13. I coughed so hard I fell out of chairs and I'll never forget the sound of each tortured inhalation between coughing fits. Without vaccination I almost certainly would have died. People who willingly subject their kids to this are guilty of child abuse. 010
policurious @policurious.bsky.social · 06/11/2025Just want to thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for writing "toe the line" correctly. And for your usual absolute hilarity—your daily newsletters are just delicious. 140
policurious @policurious.bsky.social · 03/11/2025Absolutely disgusting to see Teen Vogue surrendering in advance to this fascist administration. Thank you and your colleagues for the work you've been doing. 010
policurious @policurious.bsky.social · 03/11/2025What the hell? Three months after receiving this award you axe all of the political staff? The political reporting was not just terrific, but actually the only thing in the magazine worth reading. Disgusting to see another publication surrendering in advance. 000
policurious @policurious.bsky.social · 24/10/2025That's Copley Square in Boston! I recognize Trinity Church and the Hancock building in the background. 020
