For the past two years I've been tracking every bill proposed in state legislatures across the country to figure out what Republican plans for the future are. The answer, based on these 1,182 bills, is that they want to repeal the 20th Century heartlandsignal.com/2026/09/09/b...

Walker, famously, is the guy who wore a suit to Waffle House

While everyone knows that there's an M and a B hidden in the Brewers logo, most people don't realize that there's a T and a B hidden in Tropicana Field. That's right, Ron DeSantis brought tuberculosis back to Florida.

Oh and shoutout to the guy working the polls while wearing a Tasmanian Devil jean jacket

Who do I give to to get this in front of as many Michigan voters as possible?

Fascinated by the interstitial music in Nobody Wants This. It's probably AI and it's like something you'd play for a dog so it doesn't get sad while you're out.

the show that stars Tracy Morgan has added Jane Krakowski, Jason Mantzoukas, and Edi Patterson to its cast embrace chaos

We're coming up on the only poll that matters, that's right the EPIC/MRA poll of Michigan

a weird set of people who only exist online are people who celebrate the defeat of global fascism in every other country and are then horrified and appalled at the idea that they should also be expected to vote for their domestic opponent of global fascism if some of their stances are Problematic

That's "Brother Elon" to you pal

big failure from the NBA to not get two of its teams to move one (1) regular season game. the NBA owns 42% of the WNBA (functionally more, since a lot of NBA owners own teams) and should be invested in wanting the league to grow, even at minor expense to its more popular product

Trump was "an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse of young women in the 90s” according to a report issued today by Dems on the House Judiciary Committee. The report includes one new rape allegation against Trump, and calls for a special investigation of the Trump administration's cover-up.

Are you a bad enough dude to defeat me? Also I already forgot who I picked to win

Yes you are allowed to care about Brazilian elections. But the fact that US politics have become an MMORPG for right wing Twitter users is actually a negative development. And aren't you, an American, tired of hearing from Canadian Bluesky users about how we're on the verge of dictatorship?

I knew someone who went to Harvard with him and said the only thing he'd trust Kushner to broker a deal for is cocaine

I knew someone like this who actually didn't even apply, she just started going to school there.

Very funny that Jones is mad about a vote drop that decreased Lula's margin because he doesn't understand that in most of the rest of the world the right wing party is blue and the left wing party is red.

If Americans need our little southern recipe for how to defeat fascism it goes like this: - Put people in the streets by standing for popular demands (wages, healthcare, public services) - Do not engage with fascists online - Do not succumb to doomsayers or media-driven narratives - Be happy

Repro isn't coming up as much in this election but at the state level in places like Michigan, Missouri, North Carolina and Georgia it's still an issue

I cannot believe that Eric Bauza has passed away, at age 46. We’d just talked about his life and his voices and his son. A shattering loss

People don’t understand why I keep noting that BlueSky is not a bubble, it is a counterpublic. It serves its own organizational function: you can see in realtime in January 2025, on multiple types of social media, shouting that an executive order is instruction to an agency. This one stuck.
