going to block your useless self now.
Blaming the executive branch for a decision by the judicial branch. My god, you're an idiot.
08.02.2026 18:15 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Wait, people elected a GOP majority to congress and an open fascist βΒ also GOP βΒ to the presidency, and things got worse?
Amazing stuff.
God, people are dumb.

That does not make it any less of a prank.
Goodbye, sealion.

You are wishcasting.
How do you imagine that Biden got a record number of federal judges confirmed? How do you imagine that he got the Build Back Better Act passed, both with razor-thin margins in the House and Senate?

08.02.2026 18:04 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0A political prank and y'all fell for it.
08.02.2026 18:04 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0I think there's a a vast of wishcasting/magical thinking on this website about what's achievable when a party controls neither the House or Senate.
08.02.2026 18:03 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0One guy and a couple of his friends got y'all to amplify him for free and got international press coverage with a "march."

08.02.2026 16:42 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0We have a paper about to go out about multisubunit bacterial complexes, too :), but nothing on Wnt. You'll have to share your work as it develops! :) :) :).
08.02.2026 16:41 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0I stopped riding for a couple of years and am riding again, but it's more stressful for sure. Seattle has a bit more bike infrastructure than it used to, which in some places is helpful. It's patchy, though.

08.02.2026 16:35 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Congratulations, Bluesky. You made it real.
08.02.2026 16:35 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Dems do not control the calendar in either the House or Senate. The House is barely even convening, because of that.
08.02.2026 16:33 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Dems can slow some things down, and have. Recall that the GOP did not stop Biden from appointing a record number of judges or passing the Build Back Better act βΒ and that was when the Dems had the most threadbare of majorities.
08.02.2026 16:33 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Just amazing, how many people here can't count to 51.
08.02.2026 16:31 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 2 π 0Cops simply stopped enforcing traffic laws, at all.
08.02.2026 16:31 β π 4 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Would not have even been noticed by the media if idiots on Bsky had not taken it seriously. Not justa prank but a successful one that relied on people being doofuses.
