One certainly hopes it will 🔱

Completely fucking useless

Hakeem Jeffries is not up for the job. They have got to get rid of him in January.

That Peter Attia was a bro dude narcissist snake oil salesman the first time I tried to listen to his podcast.

I confess, this gave me a real good laugh this morning. Actually surprised this is the first time I’ve heard of anyone doing this, tbh

Bluesky is a "liberal bubble" because fascist chuds can't get traction without algorithmic assistance and because people here trained themselves to block "debate me" trybois the instant they roll up

He ends by implying that this is an easy problem to solve if we could just drop our left-wing ideology long enough to finally impose consequences on homeless people and addicts. Not only is this unconstitutional, it's also incredibly expensive! Either way we're providing housing and services.

The core argument is that cities like Seattle are so addled by left-wing ideology that they have fallen into dystopia. In reality, the city has never adequately funded harm reduction programs and continues to rely on incarceration to address homelessness. What Powell wants is what we're doing.

There is no good faith concern. None. There are only people who never gave a shit about trans women in sports being manipulated into thinking there are good faith concerns and then normal people. You can't have good faith concerns about a few dozen people playing fucking sports. Shut up and stop it

Overnight, a masked bandit broke into our kitchen. Armed with opposable thumbs, he proceeded to sample everything on offer. I’d just visited the farmers market, so the menu was extensive. I can now share a highly specific peer-reviewed list of what this particular raider did & did not enjoy. 🧵

I thought I was training this crow (I have nicknamed the crow Buddy) but it turns out Buddy has been training *me*. I’m the one who hops up when Buddy arrives cawing, and I’m the one who has learned which food Buddy prefers. And I’m ok with the arrangement 😏

Well, if it’s 30 May, it must be... YES, THAT’S RIGHT! The 287th anniversary of the unveiling of Jacques de Vaucanson’s marvellous, mechanical shitting duck 🧵

I want to start learning to forage for mushrooms, but also, THIS.

Beautiful evening for a ball game.

I can’t stop thinking about this. As someone who regularly takes a ferry, you do NOT cut the line. I love that this man fucked around and found out, in a world where there is not nearly enough ‘finding out’ for people like this.

The number of times a man has seen me heading up some mountain trail when he’s coming down, and tried to warn me about how high/cold/close to sunset/snowy/difficult it is, as if I’ve noooo idea 🫠

Them: "think of the children!!!!" Me: omg yes you are so right. we should abolish child prisons, stop funding militaries that slaughter children, ensure every child has access to medical care and healthy food, provide mental health counselors in schoo-- Them: NO WE MEAN CENSOR THE INTERNET!!!

If there are any Democrats who are thinking of running for the presidency on 2028 on anything less than a clear agenda of widespread prosecution for this administration's corruption and fundamental structural changes to ensure it can't happen again, they should just stop right there.

Call Congress and tell them to do their job: 202-224-3121
