This is fine.

Got a visit this morning from a chipping sparrow.

Beautiful little brown birb.

THIS January Platner joined a racist YouTube channel for a chat and proclaimed himself a long-time fan.

People CAN change, yes. Platner specifically and demonstrably has not

I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment.

Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off.

The 25th is never happening.

This. We just took out this guy's family, including his wife and father, along with some other relatives. Expecting him to be entirely rational right now is insane.

I love the idea that *this* US government, which has been nabbing landscapers and five year olds knows where Iranian sleeper cells are but just hasn’t gotten around to doing anything about it yet.

And I think that's especially blackpilling to me, even though I knew this what his reelection would bring: America elected a rapist administration, that only thinks & operates in the way rapists think & operate. And they've since staffed and appointed government positions with rape-aligned monsters.

it really is unfortunately this simple - we elected the stupidest narcissists absolutely convinced that they could just go and "assert warfighter dominance" or whatever, those pussy liberals didn't wanna FIGHT!!!, and are just now shocked that the enemy gets a vote too

and, of course, the admin of rapists thought they could just dominate anyone they want and are just shocked they finally met an enemy with brass knuckles in their pocket bsky.app/profile/sky....

I may be wrong, but it feels to me like reporters are giving Trump a lot more "Yeah, no, that's bullshit" responses now than they did just a few months ago.

Even though it’s been a long ten years, I wake up grateful that I was able to recognize how bad Trump was and never ever support him.

Once again, NeverTrump was right.

Americans refused to wear masks to save their own children from a mass death event. They’re not going to sacrifice gas money for Iranians.

When gas prices went up when Joe Biden was POTUS, Biden himself did nothing to cause it. But that didn’t stop Republican politicians and right-wing propagandists from blaming him. “FJB!” “LGB!” “Drill that oil faster, old man!!”

Now oil is way up again but Trump is POTUS and he started war w/Iran.

And this is a huge issue for the whole world because this is TRUMP’S ONLY TACTIC. He can’t solve anything, can’t understand anything, can’t out-negotiate anyone. He has no capacity to end a war. He will just keep making increasingly delusional pronouncements in an attempt to manifest reality.

Trump’s power and by extension his entire movement are built around the idea that by asserting something you manifest it in reality. Even if it’s not true many people will behave as if is so you can get away with it.

It is alarmingly effective in law, domestic politics. It cannot unblock a strait.

Friendly reminder that never in the history of ever has social media accounts correctly identified a false flag operation before it happened.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk

This is spreading all over Bluesky today and is wildly misleading--it is from eight months ago and it is in reference to working with NATO allies and arming Ukraine.

Thing about war is that the losing side actually decides when it's over, not the winning one

There is very little reason for Iran to step off the gas immediately knowing full well the Israelis will just decap/kneecap any attempts to regenerate their IADS or MRBM/TBM force

“You first, Mr. Trump.”

Genuinely hilarious

This is the dumbest most cowardly man that has ever existed.

I have graduated to the 30lb barbell in my RDL workout. 🎉 #stronk

The unifying principals of bluesky posting appear to be:

1.) It cannot good happen, it can only bad happen.

2.) The act of saying words means that you must approve of and endorse those words.

This, a thousand times this.

Iranians rethink the price of regime change Destructive US and Israeli war and Islamic republic’s resilience have alarmed even those who supported foreign intervention

"The scenes of devastation — to schools, a desalination plant, passenger aircraft and historic landmarks such as Tehran’s Grand Bazaar and Golestan Palace — have shocked many Iranians.“If they wanted to assassinate the supreme leader, why are they waging full-scale war?” asked one woman."

Thanks. It was the “unvaccinated” comment that set me off.

Can you imagine going up to Jesus and being all, “Hey, there’s this thing, where if I submit myself to a little discomfort, I can help keep myself and those around me safe from horrible illnesses. You disapprove of that, right?” 😑

Jesus lived without indoor plumbing.
Jesus had no electricity.
Jesus wore no apparel that had not been hand-made.
Jesus was homeless and unemployed during his ministry.

Go forth, Mr. Howerton, and do thou likewise.

Skepticism about vaccines was once a fringe view, held by a small group of Americans. But the Covid-19 pandemic, with its mandates and rapid rollout of vaccines, breathed new vigor into the anti-vaccine movement and bred hostility toward the medical establishment.

“The pandemic” didn’t “breathe” the hesitance, @apoorvanyt.bsky.social. The anti-vaccine movement leaders made a conscious decision to exploit it to undermine trust. They literally made videos about how they would do exactly that, before the vaccines existed. Show your readers those videos!

Iran didn't become one of the world's most effective sponsors of terrorism by being bad at asymmetrical warfare! They can keep the Strait of Hormuz closed, or so dangerous to transit as to be effectively closed, for a very long time by laying cheap mines and lobbing missiles from hidden launchers.
