Is it possible those aren’t their values?

Any chance we can stop pretending he’s smart?

@jezcox.bsky.social watching the replay of your call of today’s race in Quebec (and know who won). Love the way you puzzled over and called out Lulu’s “tactics” throughout the second half. Brilliant stuff.

I need a macro or a bot: every accusation is a confession

Flood the zone with sh*t, undermine public confidence, and kill the program. Elections, public education, and now public health. That’s the playbook. Then open the floodgates for capital to profit off the peoples’ immiseration. Evil.

Precisely this. Seeing far too many unthinking takes via mainstream media about today’s report.

This is ableist, eugenicist bullshit. It shifts responsibility for health from the public good (clean air and water, access to high quality food, access to healthcare, and more) and burden shifts to individuals. By definition, then, those who die will deserve to die. Not patriotic. Evil.

One of the most important reads from my long-ago graduate school days and keystone of my early American comp exam essay. In this day, a compelling narrative to revisit (which your post has convinced me to do!).

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

Julien Bernard is a beast. With 12K remaining he’s been my rider of the day in the French Men’s Road Championship. It’s been such an interesting day of racing.

Nope. Nope. Not slow. Trade or national, I love watching the pro women race (as I’m doing this morning with the French, Afghan, and Italian road championships).

Turley is a traitor

Pay attention: the right-wing propagandists are well organized and own X and other platforms. This is full-on (information) war.

F*ck him

Yep. That’s what set me off last night when I read it. And guaranteed she’s not freelancing.

Loathsome

These [redacted] jerks and their face coverings. The cowardice speaks volumes.

This seems a reasonable question

Little Mario is a big man when he’s sitting at Trump’s elbow. What an absolute tool.

Former historian asks: could that list of grievances be relevant today?
