lol once again, NORMALIZE CALLING RACISTS RACIST.
The president is an out and proud racist and nobody in the media or current administration will confront or question him about it.

OH that's why Oprah did a special on family estrangement lol

lol there's something nice nasty about people who correct you in front of others. I can't explain it, but it makes my spirit itch.

lol my ongoing theory is all the problematic people are in a group chat. And considering what we saw on Signal... I don't think I'm wrong.
It don’t matter where you go, all these corporations are in cahoots.

"It's the first time the body has.... announced such a ban." Wow.
“AEA’s action on Tuesday is a particularly stinging rebuke for one of the economics world’s most decorated members. It is the first time the body has publicly announced such a ban, according to its secretary-treasurer.”

This is a really profound take. Curious of the men of #bluesky, what is happening in y'alls relationships outside of romance?

I often think that a lot of the way we treat romantic partners is an extension of our platonic and familial relationships.
A lot of men do not like other men as people, also. Bunch of shitty, horrible dudes out there right now, mad about everything they can't let themselves feel.
lol a lot of men do not like women as people and this is why dating in 2025 is intergalactically bad.

I LOVE when people do this (make women part of the grooms party).
The dad of the kids I used to nanny got remarried and I was a groomsman. We got the photos back. Me and the boys look like we’re auditioning for a buddy cop film or the runway.

TLDR: Them congresspeople do weirdly well with stock gains. 👀
After becoming a congressional leader, a politician’s stock portfolio beats out those of peers by 47 (!!!) percentage points a year through trades timed around bills and firms that later get government contracts

I have come to the idea that we have to collectively, brutally, ritualistically kill Target just to show capital that we truly aren’t fucking around.
