Gop policy summarized

Yes, they want your life to be miserable, so you do not have the time or ability to think clearly about who is doing this to you.

Their belief is that the worse they can make things, the better it is for them.
A meme showing three people sitting at a table. In the center is a bald, elderly man (looking similar to Rupert Murdoch) in glasses and a blue suit with a plate full of cookies in front of him. He is pointing accusingly at a brown-skinned man who is sitting sadly on the left of the frame with nothing in front of him. On the right of the frame is a light-skinned man wearing a construction worker's attire, including hard hat. He has one cookie on a plate in front of him. The man in the middle says with a snarling expression: "He wants your cookie."

I do generally think one bad thing about the 17-21 trump administration is that a coalition of reasonably sane republicans and democrats worked to limit the harm as much as possible- thus allowing people to perceive trump as "guy good with economy but who does mean tweets" instead of...a fascist

Students used to ask why I showed them silent movies from 1896 onwards.
I explained that they were still a part of modern cinema with Scorsese homaging Edwin S. Porter's The Great Train Robbery (1903) in Goodfellas,
a film which had many references to the western genre.

Absolutely incredible sequence from CNN.

"Maduro was a paranoid lunatic always lying about the CIA trying to overthrow him. Anyways, now that the CIA has overthrown him..."
It remains to be seen how the Venezuelan people will respond to a more overt CIA presence in the country post-Maduro. For years, Maduro cast the CIA as a convenient boogey man, repeatedly accusing the agency – without evidence – of attempting to topple his regime as he clung to power despite US opposition. Now, the CIA has helped supplant Maduro and is poised to help actively manage the Trump administration’s dealings with Venezuela’s new leadership.

Happy 3 year anniversary to this post
We recommend avoiding general and often dehumanizing "the" labels such as the poor, the mentally ill, the French, the disabled, the college-educated. Instead, use wording such as people with mental illnesses. And use these descriptions only when clearly relevant. 9,742 L7 19.4K 43.8K 个 AP The Associated Press @AP Replying to @APStylebook The use of "the French" in this tweet by @AP was inappropriate and has caused unintended offense.

Statement from the Minnesota Timberwolves team chaplain with alt text (ht @gregolear.bsky.social)
MIN S3AT STATEMENT FROM MATT MOBERG, CHAPLAIN OF THE MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES IF YOU'RE A CHURCH POSTING PRAYERS FOR PEACE AND UNITY TODAY WHILE MY CITY BLEEDS IN THE STREET, MISS ME WITH THAT SOFTNESS YOU ONLY WEAR WHEN IT COSTS YOU NOTHING. DON'T DRESS AVOIDANCE UP AS HOLINESS. DON'T CALL SILENCE "PEACEMAKING." DON'T LIGHT A CANDLE AND THINK IT SUBSTITUTES FOR SHOWING UP. TONIGHT AN ICE AGENT TOOK A PHOTO OF ME NEXT TO MY CAR, LOOKED ME IN THE EYE AND TOLD ME, "WE'LL BE SEEING YOU SOON." NOT METAPHOR. NOT HYPERBOLE. A THREAT DRESSED UP IN A BADGE AND A PAYCHECK. PEACE ISN'T WHAT YOU ASK FOR WHEN THE BOOT IS ALREADY ON SOMEONE'S NECK. PEACE IS WHAT THE POWERFUL ASK FOR WHEN THEY DON'T WANT TO BE INTERRUPTED. UNITY ISN'T NEUTRAL. UNITY THAT REFUSES TO NAME VIOLENCE IS JUST LOYALTY TO THE ONES HOLDING THE WEAPONS. STOP USING SCRIPTURE LIKE CHLOROFORM. STOP CALLING YOUR FEAR "WISDOM." STOP PRETENDING JESUS WAS CRUCIFIED BECAUSE HE PREACHED GOOD VIBES AND PERSONAL GROWTH. YOU DON'T GET TO QUOTE SCRIPTURE LIKE A LULLABY, WHILE INJUSTICE STAYS WIDE AWAKE. YOU DON'T GET TO ASK GOD TO "HEAL THE LAND" IF YOU WON'T EVEN LOOK AT THE WOUND. THERE IS A KIND OF PEACE THAT ONLY EXISTS BECAUSE IT REFUSES TO TELL THE TRUTH. THAT PEACE IS A LIE. AND LIES DON'T GROW ANYTHING WORTH SAVING. THE SCRIPTURES YOU LOVE WEREN'T WRITTEN TO KEEP THINGS CALM. THEY WERE WRITTEN TO SET THINGS RIGHT. AND SOMETIMES THE MOST FAITHFUL THING YOU CAN DO IS STOP PRAYING AROUND THE PAIN AND START STANDING INSIDE IT. IF THAT MAKES YOU UNCOMFORTABLE-GOOD. GROWTH ALWAYS IS.

Don't worry, guys

The streets of Minneapolis are about to be flooded with "pro-life" protesters waving "Don't Tread On Me" flags chanting "All Lives Matter."

I'm sure they're on the way, right?

Right?

@kavehmd.bsky.social please consider doing an episode on "Low-T" centers.
They advertise aggressively on sports radio and tell men that fatigue, weight gain, and low libido are the result of low testosterone.
It sounds like a dangerous grift.
