washington post reporter code-switching on twitter and bluesky like a key & peele sketch
Washington Post reporter Dan Diamond on Twitter: Trump has proactively trashed media, saying he’ll get “horrible” reviews. But he’s been loose and funny. And his delivery is far tighter and on-script than usual speeches. Crowd here — packed with MAGA fans — has reliably laughed at his jokes. “I love you!” one woman yells. --- Sign of the vibe shift? 2016: Rock band CHEAP TRICK mocked idea of performing at RNC that was nominating Trump Tonight: same band is covering “Rock and Roll All Nite” to honor KISS in big finale at Trump’s Kennedy Center Honors Washington Post reporter Dan Diamond on Bluesky: Trump has proactively trashed news media — saying he knows he’ll get “horrible” reviews.

A leaked DOJ memo obtained by @kenklippenstein.bsky.social reveals an effort to build a list of supposedly "anti-American" groups and individuals, an escalation of the administration's crackdown on dissent. The list targets "not just the left" but "anyone who isn't a Trump supporter," he says.

Today's Fortnite event was very cool. Fighting alongside King Kong, Godzilla, Hatsune Miku, Huntr/x, giant Homer Simpson (in his underwear), against a big fugly enemy was just an insanely fun thing. The Bride (Kill Bill) came by to bring me to the fight. I was using my John Wick skin. :-D
