Appreciated this from today's @simonwdc.bsky.social Hopium Chronicles
Text reads: "One other literally jawdropping moment last night was Vance’s assertion that immigrants smuggling guns in from Mexico were a central cause of gun violence in the US. As someone who has worked on immigration and border issues for 20 years I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. Guns are illegal in Mexico. There are no guns made in Mexico. The cartels get their guns here in the US, where half of all guns in the world reside. Our lax gun laws have helped make the cartels what they are today and have destabilized our neighbor to the South. The guns Vance described last night all came from here - not Mexico. It was an extraordinary and shocking invention, something way beyond a lie, another fascistic attempt to denigrate the other."

Keeping my sanity by closely following everything @simonwdc.bsky.social says. Found this in his latest update--wish you would post more here, Simon!
Simon Rosenberg posts: Trump didn't return abortion to the states. He took it away from women and their doctors and gave it to Republican politicians. It may be the single most batshit crazy thing he says.

Joined early but then didn't start really hanging out here until a few months ago. Glad I made the switch. Twitter was stomping my soul.

Loved seeing the amazing Khruangbin at Red Rocks, with a totally rapt audience. Beautiful dramatic light show complemented by distorted video of the band, gave it a gauzy dreamy trippy feeling
Picture of Khruangbin concert at Red Rocks, Aug 28 2024. Shows rows of slightly lit audience members, and stage from a distance. To the left is a large digital screen with a distorted image of the bassist Laura Lee

it looks so much like that crazy-bad sculpture of Cristiano Ronaldo
two pictures, side by side: left, a photograph of a very handsome Cristiano Ronaldo, right, a photo of a terrible sculpture of his likeness

OMG, Sesame Street with the sass and the snark! So good.
Cropped screenshot from Muppet Wiki, describing the character of Ronald Grump. The text reads: Ronald Grump is a famous Grouch builder who appears in Episode 2399 of Sesame Street. Grump approaches Oscar the Grouch to build his "Grump Tower" on Oscar's property. In exchange, Oscar will get to reside in the new building, plus receive a small amount of trash. Oscar complies and the new "Grump Tower" is built. However, Oscar decides to opt out when he finds out he can't keep his pets. Grump instead asks for 40 bags of trash to move his tower. Oscar doesn't have that kind of currency, so the rest of the adults help him out and defeat Grump. It is said that Grump's building skills are so impressive, he built a tower on a swamp in just one day.

An image of Gandalf and Saruman with the text: "They're both so old. What's worse: Gandalf's age or Saruman's plan to align himself with the dark lord Sauron so he can later overthrow him and gain absolute power over Middle-earth for himself?"
