I understand-it would be like working in hell….
Barely a half-year into Trump's second term, a handful of senior White House aides are already heading for the exits.
Do I hear that shadow president Stephen Miller called us “stupid white hippies” today? I always wanted to be a hippie. Meanwhile, the fabulous moniker I heard for Miller today is “Trump’s viper.” 🐍 Perfect.
I’m tired of my tax dollars going to inefficient, corrupt red states! Since the Fed wants to withhold support to California, California should cease paying taxes to the Fed! We will make better use of the money here!
Yes. Yes, it does.
Can we please just fucking get on with it? It’s been consulted on. @misswhanau.bsky.social was democratically elected on a Golden Mile platform. A lot of Wellingtonians want it.
Just fucking keep going. It’s not going to get any cheaper to do. Or are we waiting until Courtenay returns to the sea?

A central pillar of Chicago’s vibrant film culture, a reliably smart critic with a deep knowledge of & love for cinema (& theater, the beat he started out on), & a wonderful colleague & friend. If you care about art in your city, read & support your local critics, because our species is endangered.
A bit of news: The Chicago Tribune has deemed the post of film critic non-essential, and therefore zeroed-out that post. My options were to take a newsroom reassignment to be named later, or a buyout to be taken more or less immediately. So...(1/3)
The missing piece of the equation explaining why so many critic positions are being eliminated is the little AI summaries at the top of Google results, which reduced click-throughs drastically. Once again, a tech company has stolen human labor and monetized it and doesn't care about the impact.
This is Pungo. He is glad you found a new favorite hobby, but please don't forget about his favorite hobby. 13/10 (IG: ksmith.clay)
Oh so this is why the right wing National govt took the proud boys off the terrorist org list. They didn’t want to have FBI agents on the list when they let the new FBI office open up in NZ. #nzpol
The "new" Proud Boys? Um… hate to break it to you, but many of these federal agents are literally Proud Boys, as are many local police officers. Proud Boy infiltration of law enforcement is no secret.

Since 1980, there have been over 400 weather disasters in the US, with total damages over $1 billion.
These disasters have cost $2.9 trillion in total and killed nearly 17,000 people.
Don't tell me we "can't afford" to address the climate crisis.
The truth is we can’t afford not to.

It’s been a con all along. And it’s never been about illegal migrants. Never!
It drives Jonathan Turley crazy when I remind everyone that he is just Mike Lindell with tenure. So, please make sure not to amplify this message.👇

"Let me be crystal clear: crime in DC is ending and ending today."
The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?
Pragmatic progressives — armed with bread-and-butter proposals to improve the lives of ordinary Americans and an upbeat message of hope — are the future of the Democratic Party.

Gonzalez: I don't care what your job is. I don't care what part of the state you live in. I don't care where you came from. You have more in common with an undocumented farm worker than you did with the fucking billionaires who are causing this problem in the first place
