Insta is just pictures of people hanging out without me and Venmo is the paper trail. I’m building my case on why you are all a bunch of jerks.

Not it Paige.

Surprised there isn’t more discussion of the Segway in this. In 2001 segways had massive cultural hype and were gonna change the world with, huge investment behind it…. and it just completely fell flat…. 15 years later, the world started selling these cheap spiritual successors

Bluesky leadership might want to consider its success is due entirely to a user base that’s historically willing to move platforms.

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

We're getting a wave of articles that are like, "gee willikers it sure seems like the people who complained about 'cancel culture' for years really like canceling people."

Yes! This was extremely obvious at the time and a lot of us pointed it out!

The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · 7d

Some say canceling is an act of redress. Others blame it on a mob.

“People have used the word ‘cancel’ so loosely,” Ernest Owens author of “The Case for Cancel Culture,” said, “that everyone’s calling everything a cancellation.”

How cancel culture came for everyone

Few issues in recent years have united the American right as much as their professed hatred of cancel culture. That’s changing.

This is the fear, not ford or tesla, but that second tier companies will start making their own janky autonomous vehicles and the street murders will begin.

Clear grounds for removing Trump from office. He’s sending America’s military against a domestic terror organization that does not exist fighting a war that is not happening. He’s gone completely and dangerously mad.

Ashton Pittman @ashtonpittman.bsky.social · 11d

Trump says he authorizes Hegseth to deploy the military to Portland, which he lyingly calls "war ravaged," and says he is authorizing "full force."

At the request of Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, I am directing Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to provide all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged Portland, and any of our ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists. I am also authorizing Full Force, if necessary. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

"the menswear guy isn't fair and balanced." do you even hear yourself?

"fork lady is eroding public confidence."

"ladder baby is undermining the credibility of the field."

"lemon raccoon is acting without transparency or accountability."

that's what you sound like.

Like, this is about as blunt as NYT gets, isn't it?

a push notification from the New York Times app at 5:56 PM with the headline "Unproven Medical Advice"

the blurb says, "In a rambling news briefing, President Trump promoted unproven ties between vaccines, autism and Tylenol use by pregnant women and babies."

Man… if they take me apart at the neck one day, y’all gotta make sure my memorial video gets more that 26,000 views. Idc how, like, even if you just put some greatest hits in there, like when we won PUBG the first time or that time I stunted on Jaden Smith without realizing it.

Rex Huppke @rexhuppke.bsky.social · 17d

Everything about this headline is hilarious. And the YouTube views are a reflection of how wildly the right has overblown the number of people paying attention.

Agree, but he held him a few more times after that and he was in the end zone when the flag came out.

Richard A @barron22.bsky.social · 19d

He threatened the networks ‘cause he didn’t like the coverage. He said it. Everyone heard it. And this weak ass congress wont do anything.

"Taking away a broadcast license has so many legal obstacles and takes so long that the FCC doesn’t even try," public interest lawyer Andrew Jay Schwartzman told me. Brendan Carr COULD try, but it would become a lengthy legal battle:

Disney was worried about getting its licenses revoked?! Really CNN!?? Cause pulling a tv license for the first time in 50 years was super gonna happen over some mid Kimmel jokes?!?!

Richard A @barron22.bsky.social · 20d

CNNs attempt to cast Kimmel as some hot take artist who did anything but some luke warm jokes is doing the admin all the favors. Not one mention of the mergers in play, or what possible rule Kimmel broke to be threatened by the FCC.

Richard A @barron22.bsky.social · 21d

It was a good look.

Not surprising but MAN does this administration suck.
