- I want five bands you can’t fucking stand Train Gary Puckett and the Union Gap Eagles The Smashing Pumpkins (sorry) Imagine Dragons
- Reposted by CarlPeople often disparage the press — and we often get it wrong — but almost everything you know about this administration is not because pundits go on tv or social media and pontificate but because of relentless reporting from real journalists at institutions that give them resources to do so.
- Reposted by CarlAgain, I know everyone wants to yell at The Democrats & Chuck Schumer & Hakeem Jefferies, but there are 10-25 people in Washington who could literally end all of this tomorrow, & none of them are Democrats, & they continue to get 24/7 free passes for being absolute oath-violating cowards. Focus.
- Will Lewis might be the most white male of all white males
- Reposted by CarlTo put it another way: Jeff Bezos could easily ensure there are no staff cuts at The Washington Post for the next decade, and he'd still have more than $249B in net worth left over.
- For all the terrible shit happening to the news industry today inflicted by terrible people we cannot forget that a portion of why news orgs and objective reporting are failing is that people don’t want to see news they don’t like or agree with This goes for people who follow Newsmax OR MeidasTouch
- The fact that Marc Fucking Thiessen had an opinion column about why Trump should consider attacking Iran on the same day that bureau chiefs in Ukraine were laid off tells me everything about the flaming dumpster full of shit that is the status of the @washingtonpost.com
- Reposted by CarlDay 105 of inserting a Muppet into a Star Trek screenshot (This one goes out to @joannamasters.bsky.social! Thanks for the idea!) #StarTrek #StarTrekDS9 #TheMuppets
- Just once I would love one of the male reporters to call this shit out for what it is
- Give me an iconic #StarTrek image.
- I have one kid and a full-time job and I was too busy to remember to watch the Grammy’s. This is theoretically the fucking President of the United States
- This is a great read
- And yet if you got your news exclusively from this app, the big scandal would be that Democrats aren’t simply waiving their big STOP magic wand at this
- Reposted by CarlYa, homoeroticism was only introduced to Star Trek in 2026 by the woke Starfleet Academy...

- Does Uber intentionally route their drivers to show up on the wrong side of the street?
- The gig economy means that when an Uber driver ignores the route he’s given and arrives on the wrong side of the street, ignores a message from me, cancels the ride, and then makes my three-year-old and me wait in the cold for an additional 10 minutes for another driver, I’m the one who gets dinged
- My country? Undiscovered
- Knee-jerk Vox Ranks: 1. Vox in Excelso 2. Võx 3. Vox Sola
- This only works on things unanimous consent votes, i.e., when something is done outside the usual rules. I really wish people would actually learn how things work. But I suppose its easier to just irrationally blame Democrats for everything instead 🤷🏻♂️

- Three tickets to Melania, please.
- Broken clock and all that….
- Thinking about the irony of ChatGPT clearly having a human choose music for its commercials because there’s no way a computer algorithm would have come up with an under appreciated banger like Minnie Rippon’s “Les Fleurs”
- I’m just going to assume that X-MEN: THE LAST STAND is no longer Brett Ratner’s worst movie
- Legit wondering today how many people yelling at Democrats that anything short of abolishing ICE—something that needs to happen but cannot happen in today’s reality—is a betrayal also couldn’t bring themselves to vote for Kamala Harris, which, you know, would have meant this wasn’t happening
- I guess we are already at the “let’s yell at Democrats for failing to do something they can’t do” portion of the year again….
- One ticket to Melania, please
- Day 3 of being stuck at home with a toddler with schools closed and not able to go outside because of ice and cold

- Is it too much to ask that if these National Guardsmen have to be here in DC, they be put to work cleaning the snow out of the streets so kids can go to school tomorrow?
