🎃 Two-Headed Thomas in Queens 👻 @sweezysarmy.bsky.social · Nov 21

Nothing is settled; everything can still be altered. What was done but turned out wrong, can be done again. The Golden Age, which blind superstition had placed behind [or ahead of] us, is in us.

—Claude Levi-Strauss, from Triste Tropiques

This checks out. I’m someone who has for years treated depression with running. I incorporate intensity at the end of a run and man do I notice a difference

This really highlights how negotiations between Israel and Palestine are negotiations between an occupier and an occupied people.

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.
"
Today in @TheFP our @Olivia_Reingold talks to the cops who say they will walk if Zohran Mamdani is elected in November:”

Not gonna link the troll but Bari Weiss clearly represents “thought police” more than 100,000 Bluesky leftists scolding you for writing a defense of Weiss ever will, and ignoring that reality is clearly designed to curry the favor of thought police. You’re not a free thinker, you’re the boot licker.

I prefer “anti-fascist“ for a host of reasons and this is a nice practical one.

Ify Nwadiwe @ifycomedy.com · 2d

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

There’s a tiny bit of justice in Norway, the country who’d like to see them banned from UEFA more than any, crushing them and Israel scoring 2 own goals. It was a humiliating night for them.

🎃 Two-Headed Thomas in Queens 👻 @sweezysarmy.bsky.social · 2d

Erling Haamas

Israel at least figured out how to score on Norway

Nick Ames @nickames82.bsky.social · 2d

Doesn't matter, he's scored now and Norway are 3-0 up after 28 minutes. Israel have scored two own goals and, the way they're defending, the end tally could be anything.

These losers have let the right define the agenda.

A debate is a concession that this is a real issue that needs to be solved.

There is no issue. It’s a made up cultural panic. Nothing needs to be solved. Civil rights aren’t debatable.

Parker Molloy @parkermolloy.com · Aug 27

The Pod Save America bros are setting up a "debate" about trans rights featuring anti-trans ghoul Matt Yglesias, apparently! No clue who the "pro-trans" side will be repped by, but I'm really worried that they're going to just find someone to get steamrolled.

jael holzman @jael.bsky.social · Aug 27

so there’s gonna potentially be a pod save america “debate” on democrats future support for trans rights in the near future

i had to back out because of scheduling conflicts, and for some reason they didn’t want my help finding a replacement

on the other side of the “debate” is…

These videos will have the same impact on public opinion that the videos of a live-streamed genocide had on public opinion. Most people don’t want to live in this world.

More judges speak to the press (the NYT) about what a disaster the Supreme Court (specifically the shadow docket) has been - “incredibly demoralizing & troubling”; a “judicial crisis”; a “slap in the face to district courts.” www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/u...

The year is 2025. Trump is president again and he’s talking about Portland OR like it’s a scene from Mad Max to justify occupying it with US military. Behind him are Mehmet Oz, RFK Jr, and Marty Makary who all hold cabinet positions.

It’s far worse than bad acid.

How does Douchehat even have a job? This is so clearly not a guy you talk to. It’s a guy you isolate as much as possible. Toxic and hateful and eager to turn back time 100 years at least. Nope. F that.
