If you’ve seen the new Paul Thomas Anderson film I think you realize right away that today’s Supreme Court is run by “Christmas Adventurers” now.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.

Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.

People have power. Ask Target

I'm from a Kennedy family. I even went to John F Kennedy High School. I think RFK's got this one in the bag.

I can't wait until the future when millions of lives and billions of dollars will have been lost by Trump. And MAGA will still be blaming it all on Biden and Obama.

Jenner is not legally allowed to call herself Caitlyn on federal documents. But Elon Musk is also Adrian Dittman, Navarro is also Ron Vara and Donald Trump is not just John Barron but also John Miller, Carolin Gallego and David Dennison.

As a tie in to Dressed to Kill(t) they recruited Daniel Penny to walk in their fashion show because he kilt a homeless schizophrenic man. This is because Geoffrey Scott Carroll is a sick man. Unnecessarily choke a man after he's unconscious and you become a hero to MAGA types.

The Trump & Vance vs. Zelenskyy skirmishes indicate that instead of business "leaders" we should go with a standup comedian next time.

Donald Trump is not fit to be President of the United States of America. His presence in the Oval Office is a stain on the legacy of this country.

Trump is going to sign an executive order making English the official language of the United States. Pretty interesting take for a guy who doesn't have it mastered yet.

clyde bruckman's ghost's final repost says free link @ultralaser.bsky.social · Feb 27

life comes at you fast

elon musk shared a post on his social network stating that sim could have ties to criminal groups, and five minutes later carlos slim canceled all business collaborations with starink in latin america, which made musk lose 7 billion us dollars.

an hour later, slim announced that he would transfer his projects for the next 5 years with starlink, an investment of 22 billion dollars, to companies in china and europe.

more than money, musk lost his main partner in 25 countries, in addition to giving up all that territory to companies of his competition and, most seriously, causing the usa to continue losing commercial presence and giving it to china.

Hello, to everyone who wants to use a social media platform not owned or controlled by the right wing!

I can't believe this is where we're at in 2025 USA!

I'll try to follow everyone back.

I can explain the existence of wind, just keep in mind, I have a theatre degree. From Aeschylus I learned the wind blows because Agamemnon has sacrificed his daughter Iphigenia to the goddess Artemis.
