My kingdom for a heart that doesn't snag like a pocket full of lint on velcro to any woman I find halfway attractive that gives me more than thirty seconds of attention.

This morning there is one Nobel Peace Prize winner, 8.1 billion or so people who did not win the Nobel Peace Prize, and one Nobel Peace Prize loser.

You actually don’t have to hand it to Donald Trump. You don’t have to give him credit for anything. He’s a horrible human being who has never known a day of suffering in his life. Nor does he care an ounce about the suffering of anybody else. Hope that helps.

I desperately need someone to present him with a chocolate award that looks like the real thing, which eventually melts in his hands so it looks like he's holding a handful of shit and he keeps yelling "IT'S MY AWARD!"

The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the 2025 #NobelPeacePrize to Maria Corina Machado for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy

Let it die. These fucking people are always so mad that nobody wants to be exposed to their shit perspectives...mostly because their peers can't actually be bothered to (or functionally can't) read.

Donald Trump has a bigly problem with 'No', like most rapists.

Adam Schwarz @adamjschwarz.bsky.social · 17h

The Nobel Peace Prize 2025 has been awarded to Venezuelan democracy activist María Corina Machado.

The Nobel Committee recognised her “struggle to achieve a just & peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy.”

In other words, exactly the opposite of what Trump is doing to the United States.

Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW).

The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.

SCOOP: The Bureau of Land Management says the largest solar project in Nevada — the Esmeralda 7 mega-farm — has been canceled

The news was quietly dropped via a sudden website update with no public word from any of the companies involved or a statement from the agency

Esmeralda 7 Solar Project Has Been Canceled, BLM Says

It would have delivered a gargantuan 6.2 gigawatts of power.

RFK Jr. has a new theory on autism. He thinks circumcision could be a factor.

It confirms what many of us have suspected for a long time.

They genuinely believe their brains are in their dicks.

It's like he's doing what the previous Administration should've done to the insurrectionists to prevent another insurrection but instead to chill any future attempts to stop insurrection

trump was prosecuted for real crimes and now he's punishing the people who prosecuted him with fake crimes

But bluntly speaking, even if being gay or being trans WAS a choice with zero biological basis, conversion therapy would still be wrong, because coercive therapy in general is wrong! Even if you COULD have effective results for "ex-gays," it would STILL be immoral and cruel!

Is it weird that my first thought was Mars Successor Nadesico? (I think I can only enjoy mecha anime in parody form)

Kills me that Boomers (and to some extent Gen Xers) have railed against "participation awards", when dipshits like this want to win awards for not even participating.

So...question: if someone sends me a voice message in DM's, am I missing an invitation to respond in kind?

Damn it, I really have to stop changing my thoughts halfway through a sentence...or at least proof better so I don't have orphaned words left from from the previous incarnation of the thought.

I've been saying from the beginning that the Trump administration's end goal is to simply stop undermine the US functionality as a nation until they can just carve it up and sell it off to the highest bidder.

Raven Stromdans @ravenstromdans.bsky.social · 20h

But with the reported forced work of ICE detainees, I'm seeing this now as an effort to end-run around the collapse of late stage capitalism by actively enslaving the most vulnerable of the populace.

...and once they run out of the vulnerable and marginalized, who do you suppose they'll move on to?
