A Valkyries fan’s sign: β€œMove the Hawks game. Women = Prime Time”

Whoa.

Stephen Schwartz@atomicanalyst.bsky.social

Late tonight in 1973, alarmed that the Soviet Union seemed to be preparing to intervene in the Yom Kippur War, Secretary of State and National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger and Secretary of Defense James Schlesinger decided to order US forces to DEFCON 3β€”without President Nixon’s knowledge.

I’m sure the military did have plans, but President Rapey and Secretary Screamy Kegsbreath rejected them in favor of whatever this is because they β€œknow more than the generals.”

Man, Hegseth's Department of War is even more buffoonish than everything else. Kinda amazed how the US military didn't just have some basic war plans they could activate. Their lack of preparedness is astonishing. meidasnews.com/news/so-much...

Ramaswamy has had not one but TWO ads featuring registered sex offenders. Then this ad. These are not accidents. It’s an implicit admission he is actively courting sex offenders and their apologists as a voting demographic.

Vivek Ramaswamy is DONE! He just committed political suicide. He fucked himself with this ad featuring Donna Arthur, the estranged birth mother of his Democratic opponent, Amy Acton. A mother that defended a stepfather sexually abusing her kids! WTF? Vivek you are a slimy chud! GOP defend Rapists.

Just a periodic, friendly reminder that we could actually avoid all this by not caring who’s attracted to, who’s having sex with who, who’s marrying who, let alone believing any of it should matter in public policy. We could just all mind our own business and all have rights. ✨

People shouldn’t just be fired for this, they should be indicted. But for the NFL, business as usual.

πŸ«–πŸ«–πŸ«– NEWS πŸ«–πŸ«–πŸ«– The NFL has concluded that the process surrounding Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts being cleared to play in Week 5 with a superficial blood clot β€œwas handled appropriately.” Per Jonathan Jones.

Look, I’m an old white guy. And even I’m sick of old white guys with outsized opinion platforms telling candidates to be nicer to nazis and right wing performance artists.

β€˜Not an Appealing Quality!’ Democrats on CNN Panel Rip Abdul El-Sayed Over β€˜Cockiness’ The same pundits who tell female candidates to "smile more" now tell the Muslim Senate candidate to be more respectful to the white bigot who smears them with lies. #STFU www.mediaite.com/media/news/n...

First case of Ebola was in Dallas. National news was in town and said, β€œDallas is a city on edge tonight.” Several of us sitting at the bar of our local Italian joint looked around at a full restaurant, piano player by the front door. β€œWe are?” I asked, taking a sip of my martini.

It is funny when one of the fascists realizes ”wait this is all simulacra guys chill out”

I have 50% more followers in 2 years on BS than I had in over a decade on the nazi site.

One last thing about X tonight: noting X has 10x the number of regular users than Bluesky means jack shit when a) a shitload are bots, b) the algorithm boosts right-wing content over everything else so actual engagement there sucks, c) 10 million active accounts is more than enough to hang out with.

Over on the bad place, every Republican is saying he REFUSED to disavow them. Except he does so in the first 5 seconds. That's why Elmo shut down Skyline in Ukraine. Because bombing Russian data centers dilutes Republican messaging.

Acyn@acyn.bsky.social

Q: Will you disavow the Muslim Brotherhood? El-Sayed: Yes. Why are you asking the question? Do you assume that I wouldn’t? Q: Yes, because I have not heard you disavow them yet. El-Sayed: Have you disavowed them? I have not heard you disavow them yet.

Cardiac arrest, in a bar high in the Peruvian Andes, an empty tumbler of 25yo scotch in front of me, a burned down joint in the ashtray, and an as yet unpaid hooker screaming at my collapse. See y’all on the other side.

Accepting we’re all going to die, what’s your dream death?

Gore could be frustrating, but he also stood up and volunteered on short rest a couple of times. If he can learn to minimize damage, he'll be a solid rotation piece for years to come.

Trump Administration official lies. Big, if true.
