The Democracy Docket growth team tells me we need 700 new subscribers this weekend to hit their next benchmark. If you haven’t already signed up here is your chance to support independent, pro-democracy media. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Alright, alright, I'll use fucking Bluesky. Damn.

I just want to be like a t-rex — notorious, body confident, and extinct.

Being a shark sounds pretty sweet. Don’t really have to watch what you eat, no more stress dreams about your teeth falling out, and if you wanna hang out at the beach people will just leave and let you have it to yourself.

Jasmine Crockett, after accusing colleagues of castrating their Constitutional duty, said, “My job is to make sure we don’t have any kings or queens in this country, but it seems like you all have decided it’s going to be Mr. King and his queen. And y’all can pick which one is which.”

Crockett: "If feels as if y'all have just decided that y'all are gonna castrate your constitutional duty & hand it over to someone who was unelected. It doesn't matter how many cheerleaders he had on the field campaigning for him. That doesn't mean he gets to go in and sit atop any of our agencies"

Don’t worry, the reality tv show star Secretary of Hotubsexportation is handing the FAA’s aviation systems over to the exploding penis rocket/car imploding ketamine king and his merry band of unripened incels. This is fine. Everything is fine.

A wee little heads up for those of you telling me to “cry harder” right now… open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

What have I missed?

I've put precisely 0 effort into building my presence here, because I was so sure Threads was going to be the kind, empathetic, welcoming space I'd been dreaming of since social media became a thing. I was wrong. Thanks, Zuck, you boot-gargling scumbag. So I'm here now.

So... Bluesky. Nothing makes me feel more like the geriatric millennial I am than a new social media platform.
