I learned some stuff about Bluesky I did not know by reading this.

Maybe worth passing it on to others so we can all start getting the full benefit of the 🦋.

Here’s some cool stuff you can do with Bluesky

It’s not just an Alf pics repository.

When thinking of the goodest thing he’s done this week, he cites going to the Navy's birthday party and seeing stuff.

She was VP— second in command, not president. Her statements show tension with Biden over Gaza. Just last week she said she made her position clear but couldn’t decide policy. Why would you assume she’d copy Biden’s approach? And what about Trump’s actions and his friendship with Bibi?

Trump is pals with Netanyahu and has floated the idea of the U.S. “owning” Gaza. Most of his plans beyond that are vague. So we have something illegal and other things that are aspirational with no detail. I’m not sure what your argument is. 3/3

She called for a ceasefire to allow for the release of hostages, called out Israel for not allowing protection for civilians and humanitarian workers, safe passage of aid, or open crossings. She often acknowledged the traumatic conditions. 2/3

At what point did she say she would support genocide? She said that Israel had a right to protect itself since it was Hamas who attacked them, but has condemned the their disregard for civilians. My recollection is that she called it a humanitarian catastrophe. 1/3

His defense was awful:

That Defense Is Not Going to Fly, Bill Burr

He doesn't even realize he's become a tool for the Saudi Royals.

Hasn’t this man endured enough?! Let him go home and be with his family! It’s times like this when I think of the people who didn’t vote Kamala because they didn’t care for her position on whatever comparatively insignificant issue and now the whole country has to suffer.

I had to check for myself because it seemed too ridiculous and yet here we are. 😩

I’ve been really down about the world and this is the first thing that’s made me laugh in a week!

JK sets up a clip of Trump *self-owning*

FCC threatens ABC/Disney if they don’t pull his show

Let’s see how each side responds to Carr:

The Right: Death threats and doxxing to JK’s staff members

The Left: Protest by boycotting Disney/ABC

Conclusion: The Left is the party of hate and violence 🙄

ABC hopes to bring Jimmy Kimmel back, but temperature needs to be taken down under FCC threats | CNN

What played out before Disney suspended Jimmy Kimmel’s show and what comes next.

They are so fucking good at gaslighting, it never ceases to amaze.

As someone who spent many hours listening to Kirk’s show on AM radio, I would say that he made Rush Limbaugh seem like Walter Cronkite by comparison, in terms of rhetorical tone and empirical rigor. The subtext of every show was “You don’t hate the left enough.”

He has a kajillion dollars and everything at his disposal and that’s the best color match his handlers could find? I’m convinced this is just a distraction. Not that he’s not legitimately cuckoo bananas, but just intentionally distracting us by getting us to talk about his hands.

Ok, grandpa. You’ve had a long day. You’re making zero sense. It’s time for your nappy pie.

Trump on January 6: Nancy Pelosi stopped me from sending the DC National Guard to protect the Capitol.

Trump tomorrow: the President of the United States has complete control over the DC National Guard.

Make it make sense.

I can think of 2 times when leading U.S. officials fled Washington in a panic:
August 1814:
British forces briefly capture the capital and set fire to government buildings.
July 2025:
Republicans fear they'll have to vote on the Epstein files, so they adjourn early and run for the hills.

Thanks for sharing this. I signed it and pointed out that if someone treated animals this way, they would be charged with criminal abuse and neglect. This place literally makes me cry. Particularly the merch that plays it off like is so hilarious. And people buy it so the FL GOP can fundraise. 🤮
