I mean yeah it’s an authoritarian takeover but can we take some comfort in the fact that the people doing it are INSANELY stupid?

I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution.

Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

Every prominent Democrat in the country should jump on this immediately. Enough bullshit cowering on this issue. Get on this! Trump just handed you a massive weapon. Use it!
Trump just admitted that his mass deportations are bad for farmers and the economy, and crucially, also admitted that workers who are getting deported are "almost impossible to replace." That's a massive repudiation of MAGA ideology:

The Declaration of Independence specifies 27 grievances with King George III, and I count at least 15 of them that Donald Trump has also committed in whole or in part.

Particularly notable right now:
"He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures."

If you’re looking for quality independent reporting on what’s happening in Los Angeles, I’ve put together a starter pack for it.

If you’d like to be added or know an indie who should be added, hmu

This picture immediately started blaring Haddaway’s “What Is Love” as I scrolled past it

At screenings of "Wicked," some fans have defied theater etiquette by singing along with their favorite characters, much to the chagrin and annoyance of other viewers.

Many have taken to social media to issue a strict edict: Shush.
Singing ‘Wicked’ Fans Are Anything but Popular
Some fans who have attended early screenings of the film adaptation of the hit Broadway musical have treated it as a singalong. Not everyone is thrilled.

Here we go!

I’m working on finding every pro sports team on Bluesky.

Comment if you find one I missed, and feel free to share this with the sports fans in your life.

(My first job in journalism was as a Division I football reporter, and my second was as a Division I basketball color commentator.)

I'm going to start working on this, and will add to it as more major media outlets join Bluesky.

I expect the pace to pick up very soon and very significantly.

Major media has let us down significantly over the last ten years, but it's still vital to know what's being reported. go.bsky.app/2JyEju6
