Every Republican administration of my life has featured recession, inflation & war

Yet “opposition” Democrats still talk like, well if THIS Republican could go away & go back to the previous Republicanism, we’d return to gloriousness

America is fucked from all directions, is what I’m getting at

Iran's New Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei's Son, Is a Mysterious Figure
The succession of the slain leader's son is seen as a signal of the Islamic republic's defiance of Israel and the United States, and of continuity during crisis.

Countries not letting Israel & the US appoint their leaders is “defiance,” reports the NYT without attribution

Not sure how to explain to non-TV people how it’s impossible for this to be a “mistake” that wasn’t deliberate

This isn’t like mixing up sugar & salt - it’s like saying you “mixed up” sugar with a bottle of red from your wine cellar

In my local Select Board race, I’m constantly told what I can’t talk about because the suburbanites will freak, and “make it possible to have 1 car instead of 2” is among them

Much like rising oceans in our coastal town, problems we are committed to ignoring until they swim up & bite us in the ass

Spiking oil prices gives Dems a once-in-a-generation chance to prove Drill Baby Drill makes us weaker & we need to clean electrify everything

Instead they’re helping the GOP force more dirty data centers into our communities & I’m sure a gas tax cut is around the corner

Primary all of them

Always good of our media to make clear they think their role is not to interview Democrats, but debate them as if the journalist is a Republican

Good on @chrismurphyct.bsky.social to actually respond in kind!

And the same consultants thought Walz’s Weird line was the meanest thing anyone had said about their Republican friends & wanted him to be hyper nice

I felt like Walz had been way over-prepped by consultants telling him NOT to be himself, instead stuffing him with centrist talking points that he seemed bursting to try to get out (instead of just responding to what Vance said)

Pixar made an entire movie (Luca) that was an LGBTQ allegory just 5 years ago

Do we think kids & parents are the ones who have changed since then?

Or is it the movie studio owners & execs who’ve decided Trump II means they can impose their personal far right politics on everyone else?

After a day partly spent reading of DHS workers doing 'show your papers' stops, seeking to intimidate protestors, and betting on detainee suicides, I can't understand the point of calling to "reform" these institutions.

Tear them down. Start from scratch. They're way too rotten to be of any good.

Was hoping Hoppers would end with the highway explicitly turned into a boulevard with bike lanes, but they just said it was “rerouted”

It IS a an Oligarch Hollywood movie, so I had already tempered my expectations

Wait till she hears soap operas are NOT documentaries!

There are many things I love about pro wrestling, but one of them is that it’s a detector for the most humorless people alive

Kids asked to see Hoppers & I said sure without knowing anything about it & it is … an anti-highway movie 😄

It’s pretty cromulent but funny hearing evil mayor promote highways. The Beaverton Beltway: Getting You There Up To 4 Minutes Faster!

Anyway, Hoppers, welcome to @thewaroncars.bsky.social

NBC's top climate reporter quits In an exclusive interview, veteran NBC meteorologist Chase Cain opens up about burnout, suppression, and why he's going independent.

Sure seems like working in corporate media these days, you’re only allowed to tell as much truth as your far-right billionaire oligarch owners permit, and more & more journalists are starting to realize that

The climate crisis is worse than ever

Climate coverage gets good ratings

So how do our Objective Journalists justify covering it less?

Local TV news now posting total nonsense on FB trying to force you to click through to find out what the hell they’re talking about

Reminds me of the SNL local TV news parody where Jerry Seinfeld is the anchor. “The president has been shot! But the president .. of what? Find out at 11!”

Generally when comparing the cost of driving vs. transit, folks should just use the federal mileage reimbursal rate, 72.5 cents per mile driven for 2026

Gas is only 18% of the cost of vehicle ownership, per AAA
