The standard has gotten too high on Bake-Off. They need a reset.
Next season, when they say amateur bakers, I want *amateur* bakers.
I want people struggling with fairy cakes. I want the technical to be buttering a slice of toast and for 6 of them to fuck it up.

Where did that figure come from?

He’s stolen more than that.

Still three years to go.

There will not be anything left.

7 million was good, but we've gotta get to 12 million OR MORE to hit that "3.5% of the population to topple an autocrat" threshold.

Chris Murphy @chrismurphyct.bsky.social · 9h

There are no mainstream Republicans or media elites or corporate leaders riding to our rescue.

The only people who are going to save our democracy is us. Regular, everyday Americans. Like the record setting 7 million who turned out this weekend.

Donald Trump is too simple-minded to realize that when he brags about the White House's tacky new Caesars Palace Ballroom being "privately funded," he's admitting to taking bribes from influence peddlers, millionaires, and corporations that want something from him.

"refused to pay" - I'm guessing that I'd be talking to several well-armed policemen if I ran up a tab and skipped.

why didn't they?

seems open and shut.

why do Young Republicans, MAGAs, Christian pedophiles keep walking away from their sick behavior and everyone else suffers?

The whole point of democracy is so one person's derangement does not become everybody's problem. It's social hygiene. The fact the richest men in the West are a mix of grotty twelve year olds and deranged apocalypse fanatics is a problem, and we should be honest about it.

He can connect to anyone not predisposed to hate him because of their racism, bigotry or Zionism.

He makes the effort to find common ground and to meet people where they are.

He will be an awesome mayor.

Last night I visited four temples across Queens to celebrate the Hindu Festival of Lights, ending at Maharaja Sweets in Jackson Heights, where we gave out six kinds of delicious treats alongside some very special guests. Happy Diwali, NYC!

Zohran takes a picture with a father and daughter at the Sweet Shop.

Trump's FTC just deleted articles by former Chair Lina Khan about the dangers of AI.

Meanwhile, Trump is fast-tracking data center permits after Big Tech gave huge donations to his inauguration.

AI is making the richest Americans even richer while everyone else pays the price.

I think Stephen Miller does. I'm certain of that.

I don't see anyone in our military refusing orders or implying that they would fail to do anything that they were told.

Faux News is broadcast on military bases 24x7.

I'm sure there are lots of Young Republican, conservative Nazis in uniform.

I gave them no such power.

And still they are in charge.

Assuming that the animus I already have against them will be enough is dangerously naive.

What will you do to end this?

Transitional Fossil @transitfossil.bsky.social · 8h

Those seven million were wearing frog costumes.

The US military will be armed and armored.

They will outgun us. Numbers will not matter.
