Sunny Hostin to Cheryl Hines: "The problem is that your husband is the least qualified HHS head that we've had in history. I think that's very dangerous. He has spread a lot of misinformation, chaos, and confusion."

I know a guy who has gotten super into crypto, is constantly broke as fuck, had his politics take an extreme rightwing turn in the past few years, and has a kid he never sees & has no idea how to parent when mom drops them off and you know what this guy does? He tries to give people life advice.

it's too bad saudi arabia has so much oil and so little sun. they could probably make a lot of money off solar but alas! they will just have to pump every last drop of crude and close up shop.

and even if it were having an impact on the cost of housing, the solution would be... build more housing

AND building more housing would have the added benefit of fucking their investment! something you would THINK would appeal to supposed leftists.

oh so you DON'T think blackROCK and blackSTONE are the same?

rock=stone, ergo, QED, ipso facto, transitive property: BLACKROCK=BLACKSTONE.

I am so weary of that class of extremely online leftists who think being a Serious Person™️ who only posts and does nothing else is superior to being a Fun Person™️ who physically shows up

Aaron Putnam @aaronputnam.bsky.social · 2d

I deleted a post of me in a frog suit with my 7-yr old daughter because a big account reposted, admonishing us for not being serious enough protestors (or something). I shouldn’t have included my daughter in the image, which was why I deleted it. But I was stunned by the condescension.
