I constantly see people being like “nah, nobody would bother to target Bluesky, it’s too niche/small, besides, what would even be the point, nobody influential is on here” and there is only so much outright denial of reality that I can handle in a day, these people are *lying* to you.

This is a lay-up for the WH press
"Karoline, the president said he was 'totally exonerated' of any role in the Epstein scandal. Who exonerated him?"
[word salad]
"OK, but the president said he had been exonerated, when his name appeared 38,000 times in the files. How was he exonerated?"

Right, like, here's the deal:
None of us want to vote for a ham sandwich. And those of us who are electorally engaged ALL THE TIME are doing our best to make sure our choice is not between a ham sandwich and a shit sandwich
But if that's what it comes to, I will of course vote for the ham sandwich

The next president should just immediately seize Trump's assets to the dollar value of all of these corrupt emoluments on the grounds that because emoluments are unconstitutional, the money was never Trump's in the first place.
Let him try to get them back in the civil asset forfeiture process.

This is why I'm excited to see some of the laid-off federal employees start to run for office. Americans need to hear from those who've actually done the work of governing.

One of the things that personally drives me crazy in the U.S. is how youth sports/athletic activities went from a part of the public good (municipal leagues and fields! rec centers! public parks!) to a privatized, expensive, highly competitive, highly structured pursuit for wealthy kids’ résumés
NBC ran a piece where Mary Carrillo went to Norway to find out why they're so good at the Winter Olympics and i was yelling BECAUSE IT'S COLD THERE
then she went to a little tiny ski jump for kids and was like "it's free, equipment is provided, & they don't emphasize results"
and i was like.

every high profile anti trans critic has an origin story that goes "years ago someone asked me to respect trans people and instead I chose to go insane"
Benjamin Ryan openly admits that his reporting on trans issues is animated by personal bias against someone who was mean to him online. Ben is not capable of reporting on this issue objectively, and yet the New York Times and other outlets repeatedly let him do just that.

a big problem we have is a collapse of faith in modernity basically across the political spectrum
there is a subtle yet repugnant hint of ecofascism that unites takes from supposed leftists and liberals like “getting rid of people’s dependency on USAID is worth the human cost” and “air conditioning is a needless luxury, and some people will just have to die of heat to stop climate change.”
a lot of people just don't think it's unjust for people to die in other places to die of preventable illness etc. I swear there's a weird appeal to nature thing going on with it

I’ve always been curious where the money is coming from behind the anti-vax push. Meat lobbies have pushed seed oil conspiracies to promote the use of transfats. I wonder who’s lobbying against vaccines and why.
