Remember Kermit’s bland corporate life with Gil, Jill, and Bill that we as children prayed he would escape? That’s what adulthood is like.

Same vibe.

I feel like we as a nation missed the boat by not putting “impeach this asshole” as a ballot referendum in every state possible.

Calling out churches for violating the law isn’t “persecution” or “intimidation.” Churches are free to preach whatever they want, but tax-exempt status comes with rules. If pastors want to operate as political operatives, they can pay taxes like everyone else.

It’s fun how bluesky is just endless politics except for the rare occasions where it’s endless sports.

Oh snap!

YAY!

“You’ve lost ANOTHER war?”

“We don’t ride bicycles in Iowa…” Iowa kids:

New research on the "empathy gap" suggests that religiously unaffiliated Americans are most likely to consider empathy foundational. Crazy... it's almost like believing in god isn't a prerequisite for having good values! Wild concept!

MacArthur Park In My Pants …I guess maybe I’m doing this wrong?

If we didn’t suck as a nation this kind of statement would end a guy’s political career.

If you clap eyes on this post a skelly…

Be afraid…

Where are you at mentally? GIFs only.

I think the thing that bugs me the most isn’t just that the entire GOP are the lowest, most dishonest, griftingest slimeballs in the country, but that 40-50% of the american electorate are like “Yessss! That’s my guy!!!!”

I was a lifelong liberal Democrat. Then Donald Trump reminded me that he correctly identified a giraffe on an emergency cognitive exam.

If someone’s whole bag is convincing you NOT to participate in an election, they might not have your best interests at heart.

Unconscionable to be on “X” at this point. Just a cesspit. Except for banking; I do my banking there & don’t see a problem.

Is ‘You Can See Everything’ a doc about that Patrick Stewart character on Extras?

Go to your camera, search ‘boat’, and post one you like…

a norwegian on Threads posted this and i just don’t know how much more clearly we can emphasize how much Americans are being ripped off by our system which is built to concentrate wealth at the top

I feel seen.

What fictional character did you want to be as a kid? (Still true, btw.)

#NoKings in front of my building today and this is perfect since Putin’s stooge has spent the last week and last night selling out Ukraine and enabling the killing of innocent civilians by his pimp in Moscow.

Is “fop” an obscure, pompous, or grandiose word now? I thought it was fairly commonly known but generally disused.

Holy shit…this is hilarious!

Don’t be too hard on Katie Zacharia. To be Trump’s Press Secretary, you have to listen to him lie, write down his lies, repeat those lies to a White House press corps that dutifully transcribes the lies and repeats those lies to the public as if they might not be lies. It’s not as easy as it sounds.

Same vibe.

Straightforward and well laid out reality check regarding the supposed death of right wing misinfo when the yandex data center was hit in russia. Definitely worth a watch.

Normally I would pooh-pooh this by saying it’s patently absurd and the FAA will never allow it, but well….[gestures broadly]

YouTube Feed: Watch this video. Me: No. YouTube Feed: Here…watch it! Me: No. YouTube Feed: How about now? Me: No. YouTube Feed: Hey remember this video? Me: It’s been like two minutes. Go away! Me [later]: Maybe I’ll watch that video now… YouTube Feed:

Hey Gandalf…what’s the weather like today?

Good for Brazil! But you know what would be funny? If we went to a four day work week now! Let’s do it…you know for the lols!

Yeah, I got to vote for Tom Paris today. Why are you against giant salamanders in government?

Is Critters 2 a good movie? Meh. But does it introduce the concept of the "critter ball?" YES! Yes it does!

What if someone passed a law making spoofed phone numbers illegal in all cases. If some stupid rep/corp/charity wants to spam my phone for business/donations I should be able to call them back and more importantly block their number. It’s ridiculous how much everything sucks nowadays.

Full-EV Surge! Fifteen countries had full-electric vehicles (BEV) at 30% or higher of auto sales for period of 6-months ending in August 2026! Another 10 were at 20% BEV or higher! Those numbers do NOT include Plug-in Hybrids (PHEV). ember-energy.org/latest-insig... #energysky

The only reason I can think that insurance companies aren’t freaking out about this dumbfuckery is they hope it makes the ACA insolvent and it somehow results in its cancellation.

Gee…why would people want to uncouple from the fossil fuel economy?!? I can’t imagine.
