Captain says flying at 8000 feet (!) Newark to Savannah today instead of 34000 because of air traffic control restrictions. Everyone has to say seated including flight attendants. Never in my 40 years in flying has this happened … wondering what the view will be 😀

Joyce Carol Oates
@Joyce... 17h O
So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates— scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend's or relative's accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the
"most wealthy person in the world."

Oates is a liar and delights in being mean.
Not a good human.

Rarely does a story so perfectly encapsulate authoritarianism, crony capitalism, Trump’s greed and garishness, destruction of cultural heritage and calls for national rebirth after collective victimhood. Definitive article on this is by @filipejdus.bsky.social

Heritage Foundation having a normal one

Roberts’s speechwriter, Evan Myers, suggested that Heritage’s attempts to address accusations of antisemitism would eventually mean he would be required to attend a Shabbat dinner, which he said would conflict with his faith.

i call this view 'reactionary centrism' - the problem with it is that modern fascism *cannot* be appeased; they don't want a few compromises in women's sports, they want a total social transformation and the end of liberal democracy

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 6d

These big wins will embolden Dems to take on Trump's lawbreaking and show there's a price for GOP enabling of him. Folks hate to hear this, but normal patterns are asserting themselves: Liberalism isn't dead, Rs are likely to lose in 2026, and Trump is really unpopular, not a magical exception.

you are the SECOND person who texted to say 'oh you might be interested in this article" Aghhhhhhhh nobody reads past the headline any more 😆😀

I spoke to @haaretzcom.bsky.social about how Serbia never accepted responsibility for crimes it committed and I am afraid Israel will be the same.
