I think he went to Disney because he was sick of playing heels. But he was GREAT at playing heels.

Wondering what this place would be like if they'd called it "Cesspool" instead of "Bluesky."

If anyone starts a new social media site, try calling it "Cesspool." I got a theory I wanna test.

GREAT thread full of great suggestions.

Beat me to it. Brilliant approach, brilliant results. Never gets included on "greatest score" lists.

DEFENDING THE WAC: MARK LEWISOHN LOOKS AT WHY RENEWED APPRECIATION IS URGENTLY REQUIRED I was asked to write an op-ed piece saying why I think the BBC’s Written Archives Centre (WAC) is a unique and brilliant resource, which I can do because it’s both – and why, therefore…

Thrilled that @marklewisohn.bsky.social has contributed this passionate, personal post to the CST series against the recent BBC Written Archives policy shifts. His cri de couer is directed squarely at those who came up with the changes. Please read and share widely.

The Goncourt Brothers are _on the case!_

Saw it in theaters with the Sensurround. Nothing special, and it felt old-fashioned and a throwback even when it came out.

"Our players know where the pearl is."

Zionism apologists: "Why aren't they dancing with joyous abandon over the cease-fire? They should be ecstatically happy! That's how much they're filled with hate!"

They Live is a fantastic film but every time I introduce it to a Gen Z friend I'm reminded that the plot boils down to, "two hobos carry out a series of workplace mass shootings because they believe half the population are aliens wearing human skin"

Last night, I received notification of the 19th death of a detained person in ICE custody since Trump took office.

ICE is detaining people, mostly in private, for-profit prisons that put profit over health. And now they have furloughed the safety inspectors. This is unacceptable.

My feed's been full of Zionists reciting variants of "You should be dancing in the streets for joy over the cease-fire. But you're not. So you must be an anti-Semite."

ironically, the whole Riyadh Comedy Festival has given me a worse opinion of every one of those comedians except Pete Davidson. there's something to be said for without shame demanding, "you guys kinda killed my dad, I'm gonna need $2 million for an hour's work."

Same here.

RFK Jr. Promotes Natural Immunity With Invitation To Touch His Festering Sore

RFK Jr. Promotes Natural Immunity With Invitation To Touch His Festering Sore https://theonion.com/rfk-jr-promotes-natural-immunity-with-invitation-to-touch-his-festering-sore/

Well, we want that vaccine anyway, so why don't you let the market decide?

A great piece by Coates.

Far as I can tell, Robert Redford was:
* successful at everything he tried
* genuinely intelligent & insightful
* desired by women
* envied by men
* an absolute mensch to everyone he dealt with
* a tireless, lifelong philanthropist
... and he died peacefully in his sleep.

10/10 life. No notes.

Charlie Kirk's Assassination: Sorting Fact from Fiction - It Could Happen Here | iHeart <p>Robert and Garrison discuss the memes, disinformation, and conflicting theories surrounding the political orientation of the Charlie Kirk assassin. Groyper? Antifa? Or just Reddit?&nbsp;</p><p>See ...

The podcast It Can Happen Here goes over the evidence regarding the Charlie Kirk assassin. Lots of caution about items that, probably, most of us have snagged onto as the evidence we want to see.

We'll get more clarity to the shooter's politics in the next days. The WSJ put out a piece saying he'd accused Charlie Kirk of spreading hate immediately prior to the shooting. I'm certainly not convinced he was a groyper (although a lot of groypers are) but I am sure he was terminally online.

Social media's killed our ability to write. Can't people even write manifestos anymore?

Scratching gamer shit into bullet casings is NOT HELPING.

BLITZER: Now we’re getting reports that one of the bullet casings was engraved with a message saying that if you are reading the casing, you are gay. We must warn our viewers we’re about to show the photo and don’t know at this time whether the engraving is what makes you gay or if it just tells you

If the shooter had killed a leftist podcaster, he would have a multi million dollar Go Fund Me to cover his legal fees tomorrow, and an interview lined up with Charlie Kirk.

The people wondering "how could anyone who isn't a professional escape after a high profile daylight assassination" are forgetting two things:

1. Cops are bad at their jobs

2. The FBI used to be somewhat better at their jobs and were recently gutted by political layoffs

Crypto Bank Machine Operators Swindle Seniors Once described as the ‘AR-15s of the financial services industry,’ crypto ATMs remain a hotbed for scams targeting vulnerable communities. But third-party fraudsters aren’t the only ones laughing all ...

This story introduced me to a new "innovation": bitcoin ATMs, or BTMs. They convert cash into crypto, which can then be transferred to a digital wallet.
And guess what? They facilitate impersonation fraud, routinely. DC's attorney general just sued one of the big operators. James Baratta reports:

what a humiliating way for don jr. to find out his dad sends birthday cards.

Democrats Bet Briefly Preventing a Health Insurance Apocalypse Is Good Politics Their ask in exchange for avoiding a government shutdown is an extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies. What happens when Republicans say no?

Democrats seem to have made their decision: they want a (probably short-term) extension of ACA subsidies in exchange for passing a budget bill. In other words, they want something Republicans need in exchange for something Republicans want.
From me:

I'd be happy with taxing immigrants more, as long as we start with Elon Musk and Peter Thiel at 99%.

Vaccines don't cause autism. What does? Scientists say most brain changes that contribute to autistic traits occur before birth.

Vaccines don't cause autism. What does? Mostly genes.
The number of people diagnosed with autism as screening has improved and the definition of autism has been expanded.
