The entire scene looks like Norman Rockwell painted The Death of Empathy, directed by Jeffrey Dahmer and executive produced by Satan. Hang this next to The Scream and the painting would lean over and whisper, Is that guy okay.

Dear Bluesky

Zohran Mamdani showed the Democratic party exactly how to win, but I fear they will totally deny the lesson. Meanwhile, ballroom boy has already pivoted to affordability. Please don’t let the old guard lose yet another election due to corruption and incompetence.

Thanks,

Hi, I’m God.

Jesus and I agree that starving the poor so you can build yourself golden bathrooms and golden ballrooms is evil. Anyone who does that shall burn for eternity. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Thanks,

Even though New York, Washington, Colorado, and Maryland can’t redistrict in time for 2026 — they need to be laying the groundwork to draw new maps for ‘28.

SCOTUS could give the GOP up to 19 new seats by striking down the VRA. We can’t be caught off guard. We need to be ready to cancel them out.

It’s gone so quickly from ‘boat people’ to all immigrants. So quickly from ‘I don’t mind if they come here legally and pay taxes’ to ‘actually it’s anyone foreign’. We are living in the ‘first they came for’ poem. All to give the population a scapegoat so the super rich can hoard yet more wealth.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.

Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.

The system is broken.

The average American simply has no idea how quickly the infrastructure that keeps us safe and healthy is collapsing. These systems run in the background thanks to government employees who quietly do critical work. Those employees are being purged and systems are being destroyed.

(5/5) There IS a wiki page for narcissistic mortification (surprised me) and here's a sentence worth echoing here: Narcissistic Mortification is "the primitive terror of self-dissolution, triggered by the sudden exposure of one's sense of a defective self - to a narcissist, death by embarrassment."

Republicans wanted to hear that all their problems were caused by the existing government, and that there were simple solutions, just like they suspected. It reinforced their belief that all government people are stupid, and that any idiot with common sense could solve all of our problems.

Too bad.

Tariffs on Japan were 2%. The right way to say this: Trump raises tariffs on Japan by 650%. And a car's price will increase well over 10%, with consequent inflation. Some deal.
