As a general rule I try not to be weird and rude about other peoples' food choices, but there is a line and this monstrosity is firmly on the wrong side of it. I'm sorry, Michigan.
"Olive burgers", or, hamburgers topped with a creamy olive spread and chopped olives were first developed and served by Kewpee Hotel Hamburgs, a chain of fast food stands in Flint, Michigan in 1923. They immediately became a massive local sensation.

I don't know if it was this poster's thread, and I think I saw it on reddit rather than bsky, but a similar post of Oscar nominees as Simpsons screencaps is how I learned a movie co-produced by my husband's college friend was nominated for Best Picture a few years ago 🎬
i haven't done this since twitter but at the request of 1 (one) person, OSCAR NOMINEES AS SIMPSONS SCREENCAPS THREAD

Ahhh oh no, yeah

There is a small but persistent devil in my brain and it wants to mash up two songs into one extremely powerful track, but unfortunately I don't know how to do that so I'm posting about it instead.

...oh
reminds me of a friend who explained why recent years have felt so weird to so many millennials here and it’s because “we went into the pandemic young people and came out of it old”
I spoke to a woman at the protest in minneapolis and she explained she wanted to be there in part because "i was a kid when george floyd got killed" and i nearly dropped my recorder

I think we should get banned from the Olympics and everyone should boycot the World Cup. My big opinions.

I don’t think we should make concessions to the Masked Murderers Guild of America. I don’t think we should compromise so the Masked Murderers Guild of America stops using kidnapped kids from schools as bait. I thought this was already illegal. The Masked Murderers Guild of America should not exist.

ICE has killed 9 folks in the first 26 days of ‘26:

• Alex Pretti
• Renee Good
• Keith Porter
• Heber Sanchaz Domínguez
• Victor Manuel Diaz
• Parady La
• Luis Beltran Yanez-Cruz
• Luis Gustavo Nunez Caceres
• Geraldo Lunas Campos

They all deserve justice. And for us to remember their names.

This is why you really have to take the W on the Bovino firing, even if there are bigger Nazi fish to fry. It shows the power of the people and that with enough organizing we can win.
I'm gonna add to this that the Dems had ZERO to do with the Bovino firing. It was the tireless work of the good people of MSP standing strong, filming and writing the news with their first hand accounts. The press tried to both sides it. They WANTED to. But the citizens of Minnesota ended this guy
The more I think about it, the more I’m convinced the Democrats have to push their hand immediately. The parallels with the delays and subsequent failures after January 6th are blaring warning signs about what will happen if they don’t go after the issues with ICE and CBP at the root RIGHT NOW.
January 27, 2026 at 1:28 AM
Yes.
A lot of Dems are going to take Bovino and Noem being fired as the finish line, and it's very important to make it clear to them that it is a starting line
January 27, 2026 at 3:37 AM
Like. Why would you want a federal ✨law enforcement agency✨ that has to be restrained, reformed, and restricted?

"Sure ol' Champ here has rabies, but I scream at him twice a day and we keep him tied up out back 24 hours a day so I don't really see what the problem is."
“restrain, reform and restrict ICE”?

What kind of ChatGPT bot clown talks like this in real life?

Good God - these losers have zero sense of imagination on what it is like to talk/feel like real humans. Losers.

it is both true that firing bovino doesn’t change a whole lot in terms of policy and also true that they have put a lot of money, time and effort into trying to make him the “never back down, fuck you, we own this place” face of the operation, and unceremoniously kicking him to the curb is a retreat

True story: I shared Brent Hennrich's website on Mastodon along with a maudlin little note about how I can't donate at the moment (husband got laid off)—and a Masto mutual donated $50 on my behalf! He messaged me a screenshot. 🥹

Exactly right.

Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign.

Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE.

Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them.

Every possible angle.
They are wounded and flailing. Press the advantage.

i know i’m not saying anything most of you don’t know, but for sake of clarity:

bovino being transferred out of minneapolis is not a victory, it’s a start

the white house panicking and reversing their narrative is not a victory, it’s a start

take 10 seconds to celebrate & let’s get back to work

Let's not be too hasty in dismissing this Ohio auditor's point. My neurasthenia sometimes makes me do crimes.
The auditor of the state of Ohio, who is running to be the state's next attorney general, wrote an oped this morning that the Columbus Dispatch published on how Renee Good is to blame for her death.

The subheadline alone is already chilling.

celebrate their retreat, eyes up on where they're redeploying. they're looking for an easier playground. don't give them one.

minneapolis taught everybody a lot about how a community can stand up. do not waste the lesson they sacrificed so much to give us all.

job's not finished.

Omfgggggg I hate Alt National Park Service so fucking much.

Pleaseeeeee stop supporting them guys. They’re just frauds who use ai for their website, merch, and are trying to get your money. While posing as the national parks.
AltNPS needs you to believe that they are The Resistance, and that you can support The Resistance by buying shirts.

After stoking confusion with their cryptic posts, AltNPS waited barely twelve hours before plugging their merch store again.

This is more or less where I am, yeah
The 2029 Pretti Good Act will establish a commission to identify all agents, create a detailed accounting of all acts, and hold criminally liable as necessary. Agents who voluntarily and truthfully disclose will be granted some leniency, provided their crimes did not include murder or torture.
When I say this agency [ICE and CBP] CAN’T be reformed this is why.

What does 'rein in' even mean at this point. What did it ever mean.
But we all saw another American shot and killed in broad daylight.

There must be accountability, and so we must keep pushing Republicans to work with us to rein in DHS.

The altnps account is the 13th most followed account on Bluesky and has more followers than every single news outlet other than the NYT, NPR and Meidas Touch on here. They actively spread misinformation and exploit gullible old people for cash. Accounts this unethical do not deserve to exist.
Completely insane. AltNPS claimed to know the name of Alex Pretti's killer, refused to say it because "the truth always comes out," and then just deleted the post.

A man was executed on the street in my hometown, and AltNPS is using that as an excuse to vaguepost for attention.
