Rough vibes on this website today, likely because people feel Hopeless and Helpless Because Can't Stop It and No One Who Is Supposed To Is Trying To So Now We're Fighting Each Other™. I recommend activities such as book, or potentially instrument if you like instrument, or even do talk on phone.

If ever there were a time you might want a separate but equal branch of the United States government to run a check on the president, it would be now ….

A friendly reminder that anywhere on the spectrum of passive nihilism >> doomerism is an automatic mute or block from me. To quote Springer from Transformers: The Movie, "I got better things to do tonight than die." Take that shit elsewhere.

Been seeing a lot of hate online for California's new FAST law which basically allows the DMV to auto-revoke your license for a speeding ticket... IF you're going 100+ mph

Can we please be so ffr rn. Nobody NEEDS to be going over 100mph 🤦‍♀️ You deserve to get your license revoked at that point

Yes, this is exactly the time to demand Democrats "do something."

They can denounce Trump's actions as unconstitutional. They can state that he must be impeached and removed. They can make clear that all involved will be held accountable.

These are the core duties of a role they all signed up for.

My sincerest wish is that no one on the fascist Trump Administration ever experiences joy for the rest of their lives

So much of American history is just impulsive and extremely stupid elites, who don't believe in consequences because they have never personally experienced them, doing highly consequential stuff because they're bored or believe it might make them richer. I guess a lot of our culture, too.

The USA must be isolated from the rest of the World.
Trump has just announced he will run Venezuela, so US companies can move in and exploit the oil.
There is no choice but to condemn USA and impose sanctions.

Can't help but feel like this is one of the reasons why the Constitution says If a dude in office does an insurrection, don't let that motherfucker hold office again

Bc clearly they cannot be trusted with power & control over the levers of government, & they do not care about democratic constraints

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.

If the House Republicans had any guts, they'd hold an emergency impeachment vote on Trump today.
If the Senate Republicans had any guts, they'd convict Trump of violating the Constitution tomorrow.
The Constitution means nothing it if it can be ignored with impunity.

Whatever happens now, we absolutely cannot allow Trump's refusal to seek Congressional authorization for what appears to be a large scale military attack on another country vanish from the media discussion, which already appears to be happening.

if you are talking today about how bad maduro was and were alive, at all, during the run-up to the iraq war you are potentially the dumbest person to ever live

The way the press is treating chatbots, like they have agency and they “know” things all of a sudden, crossed the line recently from dumb and obsequious to something else entirely. Treating them as alive and making conscious decisions is an almost religious belief. It won’t age well.

Most of the derangement about Mamdani is for the obvious reasons but part of it is also that a surprising amount of people were committed to the Cuomo rehabilitation project because they hated the idea that anything could have consequences for men of the right class.

I just saw a video talking about the Tesla door safety problem and the number of comments that are like, "well you should read the manual" are...shocking.

No, cars should be intuitively safe. Passengers are not reading the manual. Are you doing a safety briefing every time you give someone a ride?

Remember, you can resolve to be a whimsical menace, to eat more cake, to make a break for it, to read a poem everyday, to go into goblin mode. Whatever you do, do it wildly, deliciously, and without apology. 📝🕯️

I've made a solemn resolution to spend less time here this year. Bluesky is a comparatively cool place, & I love my curated corner of it, but also I am increasingly of the opinion that even the best social media is like drilling a hole in your skull and pouring boiling hot hydrochloric acid into it.

Talk about your books, and talk about the books you love. Almost all of the books I read now are from people posting about them on Bluesky. I'll also often pick something up after seeing it discussed on Reddit, and on rare occasions someone I know will rec a book to me privately.

People aren't nearly as cute or funny as they think they are and most of them use "it was a joke bro" as a fucking cover for being an asshole so they can DARVO you. This is why the assumption is you're a bad faith asshole if you tell a bad joke and blame others for "not having a sense of humor".
