What. You don't like WaPo spicing up their bothsidesism with a pinch of antisemitism?

If you're tired of doomscrolling β€” which is to say, reading the same shallow hot take again and again β€” it's worth listening to this.

This is addressed to "Ex," only because I changed my name to "Ex Subscriber"β€”my new handle in the comments section.

By the end of the year, WaPo will be indistinguishable from Der StΓΌrmer.

Perhaps @mcuban.bsky.social could supply a lifeboat? Create a new publicationβ€”digital at first, progressing to print as circulation growsβ€”and hire every writer and editor at their current salary. Call it the Washington Pre.

Is it impolite to wish him a SiegHeil/chainsaw mishap? One-armed and dangerous is still dangerous, but I'd enjoy the schadenfreude.

A bunch of fascists stand behind a woman who has just quoted scripture and, calling for mercy, as Christ did. They are angry, confused, and despicable because they are all weak little piss babies. 

The caption reads "Trump's furious beause as a Bishop, Budde can move as far as she wants diagnoally, but as a Russian pawn he can only move one square at a time." The awards for this caption are not present, but clearly implied.

Three distinct flavours of eye, not one of them operating in a conventional matter. Together we form a system.

I'm too late to be 100,001, I suppose... But that's a *good* thing, right?

Already tiring of the whiny pundit characterization of Bluesky as some refugee camp for hypersensitive liberal elites. People didn't leave Twitter because they hated having their ideas challenged; they left because they got sick of the Nazis, the trolls, and the lying hatemonger who owns it. >

My post about Caligula's horse aged almost too well. In the past 24 hours, it's become a clichΓ©.

Yeah, I've been known to blurt the obvious. But I pride myself on always being the first to blurt the obvious.

Pinning this to my profile, in case you want to know more about me. Not sure why you would.

When Caligula made his horse a senator, that was an act of thoughtful sobriety relative to putting RFK Jr. in charge of Health and Human Services.

Greetings, all! I am now officially an ex-X exile.

Very soon I'll have something to say.
