@ouinne.bsky.social Hi Winn. Our condolences. We're so sorry how quickly things turned.
We loved all the great Vivi posts. You are a great doggo mom.

We watched it as it aired. I was weird so I didn't really notice it was weird.

Hiding your phone from Ro Khanna because you're texting Jeffrey Epstein in the middle of a hearing.

Picture of general Ambrose Burnsides: a white man with thick, bushy sideburns running across his cheeks and joined at the middle with a remarkably well trimmed mustache. His chin and lower jaw are clean shaven

sideburns being named after general burnsides sounds like one of those apocryphal folk legends except it's true. They're literally named after this guy

NY Times comment from Jacob Bernstein: "Last month, I hopped on a plane from JFK to see Olivia Nuzzi in Malibu. We went hiking and ate at diners together. I spent hours sitting shotgun in her Mustang, listening to great music and having fascinating and meaningful conversations with her. She is a writer's dream and a writer's nightmare. Both because she is a very good writer herself and because she is a startling, complex person." My response, awaiting approval: "She played you like a Stradivarius."

We'll see if my comment gets approved.

People will put anything in e-mail subject lines. “You’re on a roll on LinkedIn.” No I’m not. That’s not true.

Poser. Everybody knows the real ones keep their Dante on a random shelf next to Mel Brooks.

Notice how no one ever says "Fuck the fire department."

dems, 2009: we can't do shit we only have 59 senators

dems, 2025: we can't stop them they have 52 senators

why does Bluesky randomly decide to hide perfectly innocuous replies on here? I keep noticing it on my posts

ok so which spineless dem senator had the worst delay at the airport on friday which caused them to think about making a deal?

real talk, why do you think the usual gang of idiots in this administration want private planes to fly in

the angry base has been right and the savvy "calm down" caucus has been wrong every step of the way for the last 10 years

Senate Democrats think this is the appropriate response because they begin every conflict with the assumption they will lose, and then ask “How can we end this as quickly as possible while creating the appearance of having tried to win so the base isn’t mad?”

Agree with this.

About to publish something on the airplane mess. But this too is ON THE REPUBS. It is not a reason to cave. Dems, it is a time to keep standing up.

This is from March but I still think about it and find myself wondering if this is, you know, a viable system of government that can be saved or deserves to be saved.

Fetterman's office doesn't even let you leave voicemails anymore. What an absolute piece of shit senator.

I am a HELL NO on any so-called agreement with Senate GOP leadership that is nothing more than a “pinky swear” they will allow a future vote on health care.

It’s not just Schumer.

The Dems job is to cave,
come up one vote short,
get blocked by the parlementarian,
mired in committee, etc

It’s why large Corps, billionaires & foreign countries fund thrm.

If they didn’t cave, lose, come up short
the Corps/billionaires wouldn’t give them a dime.

Fetterman's office doesn't even let you leave a voicemail. 🙄

C'MON PHILLY TWITTER, I know you are all over here and SOMEBODY has to have a number for Fetterman that works... his cell phone, his chief of staff, SOMETHING

We saw an octopus at Dana Point near the Ocean Institute today!

Primaries for senators

Millions of Democratic voters on Tuesday: Fight these guys. Fight them.

Senate Democrats: We heard you loud and clear and we will give in

i don’t understand why so many people loathe me, anyway time to start a tweet with “i was sympathetic ex ante”

You run one of the most malignant entities in sports, one that got big on those dog whistles. God fuck yourself Dave.
