It’s the (…yuh) for me. I feel seen.

Pretty sure my knees creaked and a hip popped out of place when I heard those words!

Student just asked if I watched Bluey as a kid, I said Bluey wasn’t around when I was a kid, and he said, “ooh, are you one of those nineteen-hundreds kids?”

If someone asked me to list the letters in order of appearance on a keyboard, I could get like 12 correct. Yet somehow I can write an entire book without ever looking at the keyboard.

man they really didn't give a shit about that guy. as soon as it was clear they couldn't use his death to launch a purge they started to treat it like a nothingburger

it really is astonishing how quickly it goes from “civil war” and “blood in the streets” to “wow guys it’s just a sad tragedy” when it becomes inconvenient

before/after they found out the shooter was a white man, raised loving guns his entire life by mormon parents is a tone shift for the ages

“This is going to make the Right violent” - they gunned down a Dem politician, her husband and her dog, they’re kidnapping people off the streets, they’re arresting their political opponents, guys I don’t know what to tell you but you are already there. The Rubicon was crossed long ago.

The left isn’t “dancing on Charlie Kirk’s grave,” we’re just pointing out that, thanks to rhetoric like his, a lot of other graves exist.

Judging by the shamefully opportunistic & politicizing rhetoric of some rightwingers on Twitter, & their cynical use of Charlie Kirk’s horrific murder for political point scoring, it’s almost as if Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman wasn’t murdered by a Trump-voting MAGA maniac just 12 weeks ago.

Political violence is abhorrent. I have not celebrated Kirk's death.

But Newsom calling for his followers to "continue Charlie Kirk's work," someone who praised stoning gay people as "god's perfect law," who called for men to "take care of" trans people like they did in the 50s and 60s, is not it.

These are all people who wanted to kill their enemies before Charlie Kirk was shot, are more vocal about it now, and will keep lusting for it long after Charlie Kirk has been buried. Today’s biggest event could have been a dog farting and they would have reacted by wanting you dead.

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life.

The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) on the shooting of Charlie Kirk:

"Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it."

Let’s make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. — Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.

JD’s mom was not getting drugs from cartels, she was a nurse who was stealing painkillers from her patients.
Her patients suffered and she got high.
As a medical professional, I will tell you the lowest life form is someone who steals drugs from their patients.
Zero sympathy for JD or his mom.

Updated my phone to the iOS 26 beta and I’m sorry to the haters but I’m loving the new look and glass icons

lol I got blocked. Didn’t insult Ray, didn’t contradict their overall thought. You don’t even have to be a Swiftie, but heaven forbid we bring logic into anything here.

As a queer and liberal left-minded man, Taylor is NOT in the same category as these other women just because she’s straight and white and announced she’s engaged. And it’s super gross to call someone right-winged conservative just because they’re in a relationship that doesn’t meet your standard.

She simply announced her engagement to a man she has been in a seemingly healthy relationship with who supports her and doesn’t care that she’s more successful, who has also kneeled during the anthem and supports vaccinations. Even his AE ad has him surrounded by non-white models vs Sweeney’s ad?

Genuinely curious as to why you’re lumping Taylor in with these others when she has consistently spoken out against Trump’s election, local (to her) republican candidates, and surrounds herself with queer and non-white performers on her tour while supplying food banks where she performs??

If I were Blondie, avoiding the witch allegations for years, and this man died within a week of my engagement? COULDNT TELL ME NOTHIN

Everyone on Bluesky is poised like we're waiting for the DVD logo to hit the corner of the screen

I will remind folks those images of Nazi book burnings aren't burning just any books. They're burning the library of Magnus Hirschfeld; a gay, Jewish doctor who created an institute dedicated to LGBTQ sex education and healthcare. And a man who pioneered gender affirming care surgeries.

I’m enjoying Man’s Best Friend but this album immediately made me happy TSwift worked with different producers for #TS12. Jack needs to take a sabbatical!!

A man understandably refused to hand over his ID or get out of the car for a bunch of masked thugs who refused to identify themselves.

And when he drove away, they opened fire on him.

This isn’t how you do any sort of enforcement when your goal is to uphold the law. This is gangsterism.

@genefortexas.bsky.social: "We're buying time for Texans to wake up... To not only deal with TX but deal w/ this in every other state. If ppl who lie, cheat, and steal are allowed to win the day, that is the end of our country... Get off your ass! This is our last shot at saving the American dream."

@govpritzker.illinois.gov: "I led the effort to build the IL Holocaust Museum. What I know is that in 53 days, Nazis tore down the constitutional republic in Germany in the 1930s. It doesn't take much. We're seeing pieces of that sort of authoritarian activity happening right now in this country."

So let me get this straight. The FBI is out here being used to track down elected officials who stood up for democracy, not terrorists, not human traffickers, not the people plotting violence online.
