Bat Boy Lives! Same attitude as that Ex-place, but with half the assholios. Yes, that is my hair... US Army Veteran, so the sarcasm is built in.

Just got a lot of followers overnight, due to the influx of Twitter refugees, so it may take me a little bit to follow-back.

Seeing original posts & replies to others on your timeline will increase the odds that I follow-back as I try to sort through accounts.

No misogynists nor racists, either.

Taking a swipe at the white gamer bros who support the Republican party is an interesting choice.

But, while we're here, Medicaid is intened for people who CAN'T AFFORD PRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCE. What you do, or don't do, SHOULDN'T MATTER when it comes to getting health care.

Mike Johnson says Medicaid is "intended for vulnerable populations, the elderly, disabled, and young pregnant women, and not young able-bodied men without dependents who are playing video games."

Trump, an authoritarian to his core, repeatedly sought the investigation, prosecution, and imprisonment of his political foes throughout his first four years in the White House.

amidst a string of battery failures, there's a new sodium-ion chemistry on the market. Alsym Energy - spun out of MIT 10 years ago - is planning to deploy its batteries for grid-scale energy storage beginning next year
Alsym Thinks It Can Break the U.S. Battery Manufacturing Curse
After a string of high-profile failures, this sodium-ion startup has a proprietary chemistry and a plan to compete on cost.

The point was for Bezos to control narratives. He doesn’t need it to be profitable, nor does he care. Even if WAPO goes out of business, his purchase is successful.

Why would a billionaire want a functioning paper? Functioning papers cover shit like “did you know this billionaire makes his workers pee into bottles instead of taking a break” and “you pay way more tax than a guy with ten yachts”

Tariffs have rapidly increased the price of coffee—a drink with almost no nutritional value and lots of functional substitutes. Yet coffee may also be the one thing Americans can’t live without, @elcush.bsky.social writes:
The Drink That Americans Won’t Give Up Without a Fight
Coffee has almost no nutritional value and lots of substitutes. It’s also, apparently, too important to lose.

From Parker Molloy:
A Politician Actually Defended Trans People. It Shouldn't Be This Rare.
Many Democrats are treating trans people as politically toxic. NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani released a two-minute video proving there's another way.

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

I simply don't understand this decision. What's so terrifying to these people about new blood? If there's a real problem with Platner that's not simply 'he's not part of our club', they should be able to state it. But they're not, they're trying to ramrod him through.
In fucking MAINE of all places.

🚨 The DSCC — led by Kirsten Gillibrand, Mark Kelly, Adam Schiff, and Lisa Blunt Rochester — has formed a joint fundraising committee with Janet Mills.

Mills, running against Graham Platner in the Maine Democratic Senate primary, would become the oldest freshman (79) ever elected, to a 6-year term.
