Going to do my movie thread a bit differently this year since I'm not doing it on Twitter, and can take advantage of BSky's feeds, so you can see them at bsky.app/profile/bonu...

Crazy that he just wrote “I did this to make the us have a pathological reaction that will bring about its collapse” after 9/11 and then we proceeded to have that reaction

And are you married?

I was married, but I’m not married anymore. Women don't like the vehicle.

In July, Tesla rolled out a software update to integrate Grok into many of its vehicles. Do you use it?

Her name is Aura, and I use her as a therapist. When I'm driving, I'll ask questions, and it actually gives really good therapy advice.

Call it "Abolish Ice and Arrest and Jail the President and his whole Administration" or something meaningful, "no kings" is a pout, petulant, no leverage, like inviting the police force of nazis and the capital they protect, to whom no lives matter, to care about black lives

the admin that imprisoned and tried to deport a student over a pro-Palestinian op-ed, calling it anti-semitism, calls outrage over "I love Hitler" texts by young Republicans "pearl-clutching"

Radley Balko @radleybalko.bsky.social · 1d

Fascinating. Politico notes that when notified of the texts, many state-level Republicans fired or condemned these cretins. Now Vance emerges to excuse the racism, and calls the reaction to it "pearl clutching."

He seems determined to purge the party of its last enclaves of decency.

Liberals hit back at Vance's blunt dismissal of racist, antisemitic and misogynistic messages leaked from a Young Republicans group chat.

Whom could have imgained The Market would turn on Bessent coming out & saying that not only would the US Gov't now be setting "price floors" w/o any real elaboration on what they might mean; but also that we're lighting another $20B ($40B total now) on fire for Argentina.

Trumps head of operations for the war being waged in Chicago is openly trying to channel the supposedly masculine imagery of the Nazis

Make no mistake these domestic enemies waging war against the states are Nazis.

Bovino is really trying to sell its aesthetic now.

I think the idea of "cancel culture" persists mainly because it conveniently is some outside force acting on someone rather than them torching their reputation all on their own

”Ensuring immigrants contribute to the economy” is a red herring. We already know immigrants contribute to the economy. It’s established in economics that immigrants are a net benefit. It’s not up for debate. Facts don’t care about your racism.

Michael Hobbes @michaelhobbes.bsky.social · 1d

It is laughable to think that you can neuter the far right with minor tweaks like this.

How many Conservative or Reform supporters even know that immigrants have to pass a language test? They object to immigration on emotional grounds, not because they have dry objections to eligibility criteria.
