I would put more money on continuing to harvest infinite energy from the sun over assuming that forcing everyone to use The Machine The Lies To You is the steady basis of an entire economy

Good morning Bluesky !

Last night I went to the Puca Festival in Trim, Ireland.

It's all fun and games until someone unleashes a giant demonic hare.

Abcnews graphic: surreal moment as coyote drinks water from skylight window on top of Los Angeles hair salon (Image of exactly that, except the framing is canted and as a result it looks like a coyote imprisoned in a glass square a la the phantom zone from Superman)

I understand why they had to stop him but I don’t agree with imprisoning him in the phantom zone

THE GHOULIES II INFLATABLE MOBILE

Almost every major news story this week is about how the entire economy is now gambling, scams, bribes and theft.

Enough is enough. Adelita Grijalva was elected on September 23. The people of Arizona have a right to be represented in Congress.
 
During today’s pro forma session, when the House is called to order I will seek unanimous consent to insist upon the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva.

Alex says "i'm going to take a selfie under harsh overhead lighting." She continues with resolute determination "I'm also gonna use a reeeeeal unflattering focal length." The selfie renders a predictably monstrous portrait. Alex looks at it and exclaims "OH GOD! I objectively look like this!"

Holy crap Kara Walker chopped up a Stonewall Jackson statue and revealed a monster

I love how much every animal on planet earth goes apeshit for gourds

What do I know and I'm not saying it's a magic bullet or anything like that but it sure seems to me that Dems should run hard on the Argentina bailout. Not anywhere near the worst thing Trump has done, but i suspect it's unusually clarifying.

Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves. One for practice and the other one is the "main" grave.

every single tech idea is like “soon our robots will be capable of playing catch with your kid, freeing you up to spend more time working on your employers’ spreadsheets”

Went to see a tiny library about a ghost infestation.

So flippin cute. 👻

they are clearly trying to terrify everyone out of showing up to the No Kings protest and I simply do not think it is going to work

see you all there

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

We are witnessing the most lawless behavior by a leader in American history, just daily, extraordinary abuses of power. National Democrats must speak out in a loud and clear voice against Trump's escalating authoritarianism. It is time now.

Thiessen having a good chuckle about his fired liberal colleagues - some of whom he worked with for 15 years - is a good reminder that token conservatives at mainstream news outlets are/were there to destroy them, not to contribute to them.

Would be so fucked up if they rule in his favor that I'm more or less expecting it now. A fake news site can't buy a conspiracy rage bait site but far right oligarchs can buy every media organization in the country.

had never before considered that the inflatable costumes offer pepper ball protection

Still think Hasan Piker is a good leftist?? Explain this!

The thing about the current horrors is that they're not new. For years the US government has separated families via deportations, murdered foreign civilians, and violently suppressed civil liberties. The problem is that now they're all social media addicted freaks so they post about it.

i don't think they should reopen the government. it's funny that they're already talking about figuring out how to pay the soldiery. your majesty the mercenaries are beginning to grumble about their wages but im sure it will be fine

we simply do not have a union anymore if the president is using troops from one state to invade others entirely on the basis of political disagreements

CHATGPT: I understand where you're coming from. You worked really hard to get here, and now it's time to enjoy the fruit of your labors.

ISILDUR: So I should keep it? Elrond says I shouldn't

CHATGPT: The ring is precious. Sometimes friends don't have your best interests at heart.

ISILDUR: true

New Yorker cartoons nail it again.
