what a humiliating way for don jr. to find out his dad sends birthday cards.

Trump Breaks Tradition By Redirecting Inaugural Swag Funds To His PAC Rather than flowing to the nonprofit organizing his inaugural, some proceeds from merchandise sales are being directed to Trump's PAC.

NEW: Proceeds from official inaugural merchandise usually fund inaugural events.

But Trump’s merch sales?

They’re heading to the RNC and his Never Surrender PAC—a fund he can tap into for personal expenses.

A virtual certificate with text "Celebrating 10M users on Bluesky, #340,635, Rob Mattheu ‪@robmattheu.bsky.social‬, joined on Jul 23, 2023"

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #340,635!

Those pins need protection. Somebody could get stuck.

The former artist Adolf Hitler has died.

Dancing With The Stars contestant Buzz Aldrin has died.

DeSantis Accuses Libs of TikTok of Spreading Lies For ‘Clicks’ Libs of TikTok claimed Florida provides drivers licenses to undocumented immigrants, despite the state having some of the country’s harshest anti-immigrant laws.

Once again I am rooting for sepsis in this knife fight

If a person’s policies, votes, and beliefs all are in service of doing you harm, you shouldn’t mistake their friendliness to you as a sign they’re a good person or that they care about you.

Decided to deactivate my Twitter account for a bit to see if I’d miss it. Hated my interactions and who I was becoming.

Are we having fun here yet?

I hired a town crier to do it. Better reach.

I’m not wearing a mask because I’m afraid of COVID, I’m wearing it because I got tired of people falling in love with how devastatingly handsome I am when I don’t wear it.

Oh, and I have a chin zit.

Again, if your understanding of “campus politics” focuses on powerless left wing students and not influential right wing donors, you don’t have an understanding of “campus politics”

I'd help crowdfund that.

Help me out. Who should I follow here?

They share a non-existent sense of humor, so it makes sense.

I enjoyed the solicitation for burial plans from the funeral home that took care of my dad. Great time for a sales pitch.

I don’t know. There is some information, but I suspect it’s just an ugly habit that feeds a warped perspective on people and reality.

The last week on Twitter has me thinking of finally pulling the posting plug on it. Too many horrible people seeking profit, attention, and fascism and too little utility compared to when it was decent.

Indoor Cats vs. Outdoor Cats Animal Emergency & Referral Center of Minnesota discusses the dangers of letting pet cats roam the neighborhood.

I also don't want to hear your anecdote about your cat that went outside all the time and lived to be 20 as if that's proof that it's fine. Congratulations on your exception but statistically, letting cats outdoors in North America drastically shortens their lives. aercmn.com/indoor-cats-...

A slow transition to cooler weather would have been nice. I'm an ice cube inside a slushee inside a freezer.

I really wish Twitter would implode and force me to come here full time.

Terms like conservative, moderate and liberal don't mean the same thing to all voters, as @hakeemjefferson.bsky.social has shown in his work. Clear majority of black conservatives vote Democratic, nearly all white conservatives vote GOP. Most black conservatives support reparations. wapo.st/3rBydNl

I've got Twitter invite codes if anyone needs one.

Seems to me like they raised the answers too but I guess that's why I don't work at the New York Times

Saw her for free once on the rooftop of Strawberries Records in Kenmore Square in Boston. Wish I'd have paid more attention back then. She was just "the singer from Til' Tuesday" back then.

Perhaps Gannett could occasionally free up its new Taylor Swift and Beyoncé reporters so they could help with the Lou education beat?

Louisville needs good education reporters. Imagine if our TV stations invested in them instead of doing the sensationalist and shallow "investigative" journalism that so many of them engage in.

I hate it when quacks fight.
