Big, gay Twitter refugee who’s been gone from SM for a really long time. I’m also being held prisoner by two felines who don’t seem to care about my personal life.

What we want is for the Democratic Party to reject the mantle of “minority party” that rage baits for $$$. We want people who aren’t afraid to *actively* challenge governmental corruption in ways that could negatively affect their own comforts.

You are clearly the wrong leader for this moment. Get the hell out of the way.

Feckless Sen. Chuck Schumer sits next to a “Trump 2028” in failed negotiations for the government shutdown.

Oh, damn. I didn’t know Bluesky was employing the morality police, too.

Your autocorrect did you zero favors here. Unless, of course, you were talking about Grindr during the Arizona Nazi rally. Then “ruptured” is the perfect word choice! 🤣

When did people start engraving their bullets with personalized messages? Is there specialized equipment for that, ‘cause it’s not showing up on my TikTok shop, and the algorithm should have picked up on it by now.

FBI official: "What I can share with you is that early evidence we're seen from rounds that were found near the suspected shooter contain messages that are anti-ICE in nature. Again, this is just the most recently example of this type of attack."

GFY, Sinclair. Disney should pull their programming from Sinclair affiliates until they relent, starting with any and all sports programming.

Cancel your Disney subscriptions. You won’t miss your favorite shows on @disneystudios.bsky.social @disneyprimevideo.bsky.social but you will miss your #FirstAmendment freedom of speech if we don’t stand up to the authoritarian regime and the companies that #BendTheKnee #DV1 #ProudBlue

My father (an OG anti-fascist) would be shocked to know the country he fought for is now a fascist state.

Michael @cflmichael.bsky.social · 28d

LEAD or GTF out of the way! You are the wrong person for this moment.

I’m old enough to remember when this would be an impeachable offense that would get a sitting President removed from office.

I had a legacy bundle with Hulu that had Disney+ (ad-free) and ESPN (???). I barely used this plan. They lost free money. 🤷‍♂️

Cancellation confirmation for Hulu plan.

Is it weird that all of these Secretaries of <Armed Forces Name> are calling for criminal penalties against service members who say anything they perceive as “disparaging” about Charlie Kirk? He got a posthumous ride on AF2 & an Air Force honor guard carrying his casket. This is beyond suspicious.

Michael @cflmichael.bsky.social · Sep 12

Since 3:11 on 9/10, @MSNBC made 34 posts on BlueSky. 29 of them were about Charlie Kirk. 9/11 was important enough to receive 4 posts, and the threats & lockdowns at multiple HBCUs received one mention. To say our media is failing us spectacularly is an understatement. #media #msnbc #evergreen

I didn’t know yesterday that I’d be canceling Kristin Chenoweth *and* Selma Blair today. 😒

Polly Holliday, Flo on the Sitcom ‘Alice,’ Dies

The actor gained fame for her ‘Kiss my grits’ catchphrase, but her career encompassed far more than broad comedy

I wish that in all the calls in media following Kirk's death, in which they implore everyone to "turn down the volume," they'd at least explain that that is not what Kirk was about.

They've transformed him into this quiet, humble soul, when he was at the heart of the problem to which they point.

Calling for peace is woefully ineffective when your colleagues on the other side of the aisle are whipping their base into a partisan frenzy.

Jesus I was scrolling a thread and saw it close up. That was an expert marksman. I’m not accusing anybody of anything, but I bet Jeffrey Epstein’s birthday card is about to drop out of the public conversation.
