Today is the 5 year anniversary to when I slowly started losing my mind during the pandemic and began dressing up as works of art.

As my Twitter account has long been abandoned, why not make a thread of my madness on BlueSky?

We saw the prototype of the Nero Doctrine with Twitter. The goal wasn't to make it profitable or "free." The goal was to break the one place where news broke faster than the state could spin it.

They bought the town square not to speak in it, but to burn it down so we’d have nowhere else to gather.

Clear cut case of two people who are famous for getting yelled at on twitter thinking literally anyone normal knows who they are
Insanely pathetic numbers for something so highly touted

Reddit is growing because it's just a collection of forums and people like their niches. Substack is something else and I'm bored even writing this sentence about it. All I know for sure is the reporters and commenters who spend their whole day on Twitter in 2025 have to go to a hospital.

Elon's little serfs are quite literally begging journalists to come back because every publicly available source of data shows people have fled the platform and young people won't use it.

They are literally begging regular people to come back. Don't do it! It is a website by and for actual Nazis!

In the 90s I used to spend a lot of time listening to right wing talk radio and it was wild listening to rush limbaugh callers explaining why they didn't even NEED health insurance, they were randian individualists who could solve their own problems

It’s so cool that every website is just Like This now. We used to send guys to the chair for putting pop-up ads on their sites. Now if I want to read something I have to read single lines between autoplaying video ads that use so much RAM they force the browser to reload every 5 seconds.

If you add in Roethlisberger and Manning, it’ll be the first without one of those four since 2002 but the absolute funniest possible outcome is if it includes Philip Rivers anyway
This season will be first AFC title game without either Patrick Mahomes or Tom Brady starting at QB since the 2010 season when Ben Roethlisberger beat Mark Sanchez

What's striking about Trump's lies, and those of his apologists, is that they're not even plausible. They don't try to be plausible. As others have noted, that's kind of the point. True authoritarian control and power is telling a blatant and obvious lie, and showing you can get away with it.
Q: Can you explain what's going on with the bandages on Trump's hand?

LEAVITT: We've given you an explanation. The president is literally constantly shaking hands.

a) without tooting my own horn (toot toot), I was *very good* at learning and applying the fundamentals of my position, as well as being able to coach others on how to learn them, which isn’t common even among guys who played

b) NFL ownership does not like Guys Who Are Progressive
Why don't the multi-million dollar organizations that are NFL teams seem to have someone on staff to tell them what you're able to quickly point out, watching a public feed, for free?

For the first time this season, Joel Embiid will play a game on one day of rest. Perhaps he doesn't view it as such, but this is a milestone moment in his season.

I think the most insulting thing about this is that they couldn’t generate something that fit the frame. It looks like shit AND it doesn’t adhere to their standards!

The easiest way to emigrate to Canada after WWII was to claim you were an anti-communist and the easiest way to prove you were anti-communist was to present your literal Nazi service records. Canada was basically Argentina with moose and maple syrup.

At SNL I worked with artists who made the funniest, stupidest graphics in no time flat. Some of my biggest jokes would have been impossible without these geniuses building an insane image or finding the perfect real-life photo of a politician. Sucks that their work is being pushed aside for slop.

This bit from Smith is crucial. The people most surprised & dismayed by the behavior of Republican senators? Democratic senators.

No one understands the contemporary right *less* than Dems embedded in DC institutions.
