A funky bass line is a thing of beauty forever.

Back in ancient times (early 00s) it was not uncommon to "install Linux" on a laptop that was slow AF with whatever bloated OS Microsoft offered in those days.

Glad to see that hasn't changed.

Oh yeah! I forgot that he goes "swimming" in Rock Creek Park

Seriously? That fucker is gonna get some blowback from the "Lahg Iced Regulah" crowd.

Iced coffee (with cream & sweetener) is infinitely "safer" than snorting blow off a toilet seat or eating roadkill.

No judgement. These drug(s) changed my life, my health for the better.

Yeah no. It's still not okay.

Yeah yeah... I know... I was just trying to find some small bit of hopium somewhere in the miles of despair.

Probably, but I'm hoping that more people here are waking up to the idea that WE are actually living under the same sort of oppressive government that DT is claiming he wants to "replace" in Iran.

Hey Bluesky people - Is there a midterm PRIMARY election in your state this month?

Do some research and figure out which candidate would best represent your ideals. Maybe the one receiving the most PAC money is NOT the best choice.

Then actually get out and VOTE. (Early if it's an option)

In all seriousness we would have to be in a seriously bad place.
I would write in a third party candidate and figure out how my husband and I could emigrate to Mexico or Canada.

Yup. I keep reminding my hubs that we always vote for the progressive candidate who we actually want to see represent us (in the primaries).
Vote Dem in the general.
We're in IL8. Some shifting around. Durbin is retiring.

I still think it's all the handiwork of the religious cult lunatics pushing for an End Times scenario.

They’re hoping Prosperity Jeebus will fly down in his magical stretch limo and save them from having to share the planet with anyone that frightens them (because they're not like them.)

Awww he was such a stately, gentle fellow. There are some cats that just seem to have magic in how they are able to read us. I love this painting. Will check out the artist for sure.

I've been blocking any new followers with empty account profiles and stock photo pics.
There are at least a few new ones every day (IF I reply to a post from various legit journalists here on bsky).

I suspect that's in part how this shit is being spread. Bot accounts feeding other bots

For what it's worth, the bot brigade is active on Reddit as well.
Seems to be rage baiting "liberal" leaning subreddits with doomsday scenarios and/or some new flavor of QAnon inspired clickbait to drive misinformation.

Yeah man... we know. I live in IL. Our Governor is no pal of Spray Tan Caligula either.
One of the few things that gives me hope is that these fools (except for the demented old man) are young enough that they might just end up in prison one day.

Trans women get screwed first, followed by post-menopausal women who use estradiol patches. Then hormonal birth control (estradiol - progesterone) for anyone else who might need them.

If we all stand and rage together we could be formidable.

I know this is probably suuuuper awkward but this is the very meme I have been thinking of for as long as Orange Foolius has been running his mouth tonight.

We're catching up on "Last Week Tonight" episodes.

I can't tolerate hearing Cheetolini's voice anymore.

I'm sorta hoping for a case of the dwindles, combined with sniffing and slurring his words.

Of course Diaper Donny STILL does not understand the whole "Greenland is frozen this time of year. Iceland is not"
So sending anything other than something with an ice cutter would pretty much end up stuck or worse, at the bottom of the ocean.
