When you don’t have any good ideas just rename things.

What kind of country mourns political provocateurs but shrugs when children are gunned down in their schools?

Charlie Kirk’s murder is wrong, and I feel for his family. But we cannot act as though this single tragedy is more worthy of outrage than the dozens of children who are killed every year.

As a 50 year old father of two young men, I agree. Women should not have to take a backseat to make men feel better.

You are correct, and it’s sad. I think most people reason that this story might shake the MAGA cult out of their coma and realize this is unacceptable. The hopeful part of me wants to believe that is true, but I’m afraid that until it happens to them personally nothing will break them.

Most have convinced themselves it would be the same if Harris was in because of Palestine, or that she didn’t make Trans people a central part of her platform. It’s a nice delusion they live in while sitting in their ivory tower.

It’s a bad habit in 2025, there is at least a 50/50 chance that a random poster on social media with this take would have been serious.

I did use the sarcasm tag

@zoeycch.bsky.social all of human history is filled with flawed people doing a few good things.

Just imagine how hard it would have been to convince Harris to shift her position on Palestine! It’s much easier to convince Trump to do the right thing. It’s also easier when the people who agree with you on 70% of the issues are out of power and the ones that actively hate you are in.<sarcasm>

Hoverflies are flies that look like bees.

If you’ve got a security clearance, they tell you not to take free swag at conventions—it could have spyware. Just a reminder that this logic also applies to multi-million dollar jets gifted by foreign governments.

@kysym42.bsky.social say hi to Mina !

"Before I came along, folks, the eagle was very ugly — very sad, very weak. But now — now it's beautiful, OK? It’s the most beautiful, the strongest, the toughest eagle you've ever seen. People are talking about it. Everybody's saying it."

For all the Democratic Party’s faults, kicking RFK Jr. to the curb might have been one of the few times they got it exactly right.

Autism doesn’t destroy families.
Ignorance and ego do—and RFK Jr. has plenty of both.

Even if it’s linked to his credit card, email that he has had for 30 years, first hand witnesses, video of the hookups, and a clip of him with the grinder app open on his phone-they will still say it’s fake news with zero sense of shame.

Trump arrives at the Pearly Gates and sees St. Peter flipping through a large book.

Trump: “Okay, let’s wrap this up. I’ll be heading inside now.”
St. Peter: “I’m afraid you’re not welcome here.”
Trump: “What? That’s fake news! You have to help me!”
St. Peter: leans in “You don’t have the cards.”

Trump is sending Elon Musk to fix the air safety problem that he created—because apparently, we now live in a movie where only one guy has all the answers, all the skills, and all the power.

At this point, can we at least hire some new characters? The script is getting lazy.

Do they think Musk will just give up power? Why would he? What’s to stop the next person in his position from cutting funds to SpaceX?

Fantastic thread by IL-06's very own.

Forget the TechBros at Trump’s inauguration—should’ve been the “Eggheads” up front, given the all-time high price of eggs on his watch.

Closed my Meta accounts today, but this makes me want to open it backup just for this purpose…. If only I knew how to automate it.

Deactivated my Meta accounts today. I hope others do the same.

MAGA Logic: Liberals bought Teslas, made Musk rich. Musk backed Trump, stole his agenda. Attacker rents a Tesla, blows it up as a message to Musk. Clearly, liberals are to blame.

You are underestimating the cognitive dissonance of MAGA. If Trump doesn’t do everything he said he would it will be because of the left or failures of those he put in positions to implement it. If he does everything he said he would do and he fails it will be because of the left.

Sorry, should have included sarcasm font. There is no real choice in the US for healthcare, you get what your employer offers you.

But for $8000 they get to “choose” their insurance plan…..from the options their employer provides them.
