Trump campaigns for Ken Paxton in Texas: "He can be a pain in the ass sometimes, I'll be honest. Is he here, by the way? Oh, there he is. I didn't even know if he was here! I don't care."

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, "did you eat the Lindbergh baby" he's like, "no but I'd be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later"

The more I think about it, “is fair to expect a senior military leader to stand up to or refuse to accept an immoral, unethical or illegal order from the president or the secretary of defense” is an utterly embarrassing quote and such an indictment of the American officer corps

Dolly broke me in early to her raucous self deprecating sense of humor when we began steel magnolias rehearsals  i asked her - how long does it take to do a hair do like yours? Dolly - no idea, i’m never there when they do it! i started taking Dolly-isms notes on the back of my script after that

I am stunned every time I see somebody express dismay at the public's rejection of AI and data centers despite the pro arguments. The literal implications aside, anybody who has been exposed to the tech oligarchs in any way is correct to distrust them and their agendas.

10000000000000000000000% this. I am frequently stunned by the number of journalists and media figures who don't seem to realize that they are currently engaged in a life or death struggle with an autocratic regime. They treat it all like an abstraction!

Robert Balkovich @robertbalkovich.bsky.social · 14/08/2026
There is actually a totally black and white take on this issue and it is that fascism apologia only helps the fascists and doing it at all in any context makes you a fucking traitor. He posted "they are nice to me in private" while the regime is carrying out an ethnic cleansing!
