Trump claimed he would fix the Economy, but the average American Family STILL cannot afford a Cameo from the Rizzler

Hi there Bluesky, I took a break for a little bit to focus on other things but I'm ready to be extremely annoying online again :) did I miss anything anything important in the last couple months?

That is because Colin Kaepernick no longer plays in the NFL, hope this helps!

I'm begging brands to understand that I don't need to join a community of like-minded individuals, or get daily email updates from your founder, or learn more about the ethical practices of your business. I just need some shoes dude. That's literally all I need.

I find the "paid protestor" line of thinking as odd as the "everyone's a Fed" line of thinking. Is your imagination so stunted that you can't even conceive of someone taking action on their own accord? Is your worldview so limited in scope that every political action must be driven by self interest?

Came home late to a screaming cat who, when asked why he's crying, sprints across the room and dives into a box and begins purring. You have one guess what color this dumb-dumb is.

This article perfectly sums up the conversation between Coats and Klein, and alludes to the fact that the "dirtbag left" for all its flaws is vastly more clear eyed in its assessment of contemporary politics and our current historical moment. badfaithtimes.com/ezra-klein-i...

Ezra Klein Is Mourning The End Of The Civilacrum
Klein wants a simulation of politics without conflict. Ascendant fascism won't allow that.

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed. trib.al/9Sxu9IN

Attorney for woman shot by Border Patrol claims officer said 'Do something b-----' before shooting
Body-camera video appears to contradict the government's claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed. A judge ordered Martinez and a co-defendant released pending trial.

My take on One Battle After Another is that it is a mistake to view it as a film with political answers. The politics of the movie are secondary to the story it is telling, and they are not directly related to the politics of our moment other than "ICE is bad, immigration crackdowns are racist."

Ya know who DIDNT get a degree in podcasting?

I get that not many people visit this page, but it feels like a testing of fences. Will a blatant violation of the Hatch Act be enforced? If not, they'll probably push this out to other websites

The Radical Left are going to shut down the government and inflict massive pain on the American people unless they get their $1.5 trillion wish list of demands. The Trump administration wants to keep the government open for the American people.

I'm actually glad that military leaders were present in the room for this. I think it's important that the people who actually do things understand the priorities of their bosses and the disconnect between them

I think the craziest part of this tho is looking through lineup and seeing that it's mostly men who don't do that kind of stuff. Tons of a-listers, Bill Burr and Mo Amer probably the two that are most disappointing.

Two things are true: 1. Trump has amassed extraordinary power in the presidency—thanks to a compliant Congress and a pro-executive Supreme Court. 2. Trump is increasingly unpopular. These twin dynamics will define U.S. politics through the 2026 midterms. Buckle up.

Government overreach and direct threats to the first amendment are NOT when you want to extend grace and empathy. This entirely missed the point of the Kimmel situation to begin with and the FCC's current goals as outline in Project 2025

"...and essentially create transgender operations for everyone." The average voter does not care about this, and it feels like even he is kind of phoning in this talking point

For researchers, remember to review content using best practices for your mental health (low aspect ratio + black and white, take breaks, etc), and approach leads with fresh eyes when you can. Even better, work in parallel with people who bring different ideas to avoid confirmation bias

For people who don't do research on extremism/security/terrorism/etc, the best thing to do in the moments after a tragedy is put down your phone and be around people you care about, or assert your agency through a creative outlet. The news will be there once the dust settles.

We're increasingly seeing high profile attacks that ultimately have confusing motivations, or profiles that don't fit within previously established understanding: The Trump Tower bombing in Vegas, the assassination attempt in Butler PA, the tragedy at Annunciation just a few weeks ago

After any tragedy, especially highly publicized ones, info spaces get flooded with speculation, rumour, and misinformation. In these conditions conspiracy theories flourish and muddy the waters, pulling energy away from the hard work of finding and understanding the (often unsatisfying) truth

If you think the text messages between Robinson and his partner are weird because he's not using memes, I need you to log off and go on a date right now and try that.

People who play video games would 100% talk like that. Also questioning the use of the "My Love" is bizarre. Yes, people say all kinds of things to their romantic partner like this regardless of age.

Between last night and the release of the suspected shooter earlier today there was an explosion of conspiracy theories about who was responsible for the shooting. As the FBI releases details now the key is to watch how they do it do not impact narratives created by different camps.

Gov of Mississippi Tate Reeves is sending National Guardsmen to fight crime in DC. I checked USAFacts.org, Jackson Mississippi has more murders per 100,000 people than DC by a large margin.
