Has anyone on here tried a BuzzBallz, ironically or not?

😈Mark (of the Beast) Yarm👿 @markyarm.bsky.social · 1d

As soon as I saw this ad, I knew I'd drink one of these "ironically" some day.

Frankly, it's a recession indicator that only 9 people have liked it.

This sounded cute so I drew it

It's striking that even in the defenses of Bari Weiss's broader thing no one ever says that she or her website does good work.

Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine.bsky.social · 2d

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.
