Listening to the oral arguments today (not a lawyer, just a weirdo) and was repeatedly struck by just how nonchalantly they'd admit to gerrymandering for political advantage because SCOTUS blessed that undemocratic act. The whole system is broken.

The frogs shall come up on you and on your people and on all your officials."

I can't imagine the anxiety of sharing war plans with the US government right now. Tulsi Gabbard is still in the administration. So is trump for that matter.

tbh, I wouldn't mind seeing a Nazi boxing ring where they just beat the shit out of each other and did the "Punch Nazis" thing to themselves

I could totally understand if he was singing Billy Joel songs, but this is egregious.

They would tackle a frog or Muppet, but the video would be humiliating. Somehow they think jackbooted thugs tackling a woman playing a musical instrument is a better look apparently.

According to his nephew, he even thinks his own family members with disabilities are not worthy of care/life. So at least in this one instance, he's consistent (if not monstrous.)

Fresh batch of Pistachio Crack is made, packaged, and ready for your mouth.

NoshThis.com

Squares of pistachio-infused butter toffee aligned diagonally, with one square of toffee sitting on top of them. These are about to be dipped in chocolate (not shown) and are a product I sell called Pistachio Crack. It’s available on the linked website (noshthis.com)

Oh, right…

Pistachio Crack

Way back when, before we ever thought of making candy, we had a pistachio toffee that blew our minds and inspired a career change. This is that toffee. After many years of goofing around with bacon, a...

This was entirely predictable when trump pardoned all the J6'ers.

Giving ICE $140B to assault the country was a terrible mistake and I don't see how we recover.

Hunter Walker @hunterw.bsky.social · 1d

NEW: I took a long look at the Proud Boys and found some of their most extreme chapters are sharing ICE recruiting materials on encrypted apps and even suggesting members have joined up. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/in-the-...

Trump already gave so many of us jobs with ICE. We may have to start recruiting soon to fill all these spots.

I just hope the people who work the Inflatable Frog assembly line in Indonesia or Taiwan or wherever they're made are able to see their handiwork and know that they're appreciated.

Why do people still use Spotify? Tidal's better and doesn't actively support Nazis

Nick Fuentes’s show is back on Spotify after having been previously banned.

Would not be surprised to see him back on YouTube at some point.

Elon Musk is a white nationalist. Anyone who needs more data points to reach this conclusion is beyond help or persuasion.

If you buy, rent, service, or supercharge a Tesla you are supporting the most powerful white nationalist on earth. Period.

Musk is funding the legal battle of UK Far Right activist Tommy Robinson - real name Stephen Yaxley Lennon - as he faces charges brought by counterterrorism police.

Columbian Exchange Day is a great idea because it proves how much and how recently most national-cultural identities were constructed out of diverse global components.

If you can't imagine Italian, German, Korean, Indian, or any other national food without new world plants, what are they, really?

Ryan Moulton @moultano.bsky.social · 2d

Perhaps instead of Columbus Day we can celebrate Columbian Exchange Day where we celebrate the food pairings that had never been possible before, peppers and onions, chocolate and coffee, basil and tomatoes.
