As a little kid, I had this phase where I was very interested in the Civil War. My parents took me to Gettysburg and I got a union hat at one of the gift shops. This old woman at the register kept asking why I didn't choose a gray one. I later realized she had what I am pretty sure was a klan hood

Here's a guest link to an opinion piece the NYT published today that is actually worth your time and attention: Gettysburg’s Lost Cause Problem www.nytimes.com/2024/07/04/o...

Opinion | Gettysburg’s Lost Cause Problemwww.nytimes.com The site of the battle is hallowed ground, but it is littered with Confederate propaganda.

The "Hawk Tuah Girl" viral moment happening right as our politics is getting even darker kind of perfectly sums up how decadent and dumb everything is.

But what if they were official acts?

SAO PAULO (AP) — Brazil's federal police indict ex-President Bolsonaro for money laundering and criminal association, source confirms.

Don’t often see people surfing away from the shore

Not there because that is not surfing. He's on a wake

This is where we wonder where the great white sharks are at, non?

Got my vote

My platform is that all holidays should be pegged to long weekends. We must end the weird weeks.

What if ... and just hear me out here ... all newspaper opinion pages are inherently bad because those two concepts are best when more clearly separate?

Years later, I remain baffled by this DC/cable news version of Trump era progressivism that fetishizes the national security apparatus.

After a couple days of conversations, I can say Dems at every level are wondering whether Biden will step aside and gaming out potential replacement scenarios. Biden's team is calling some allies to take their temperature.

Martha shared this pic from Chateau Ste. Michelle where she works under a UFW contract. She's pleased her union contract means she gets the day as a paid holiday. When you buy wine for your #July4 BBQ/party make it a union wine. ufw.org/ul #WeFeedYou #UnionsForAll

I am a Leeds fan and I know that you never under any circumstance should underestimate Marcelo Bielsa.

Catching up to the US-Uruguay game and at the 67th minute yeah someone definitely had money on this game and made some calls

It was newly open. A conservative posted a bad take. I said it was bad and that I wouldnt mind conservative voices if they were more interesting/better. I then did a separate post saying the site could use more diversity of all types. I was called a Nazi, which I think proved the point actually

was it still a closed app? before it got unlocked to the public it was very self-serious.

I believe I was Bluesky's first big ratio. I said the site could stand to be more diverse. Hundreds of people were very mad. I'd like to think anyone still with me now is a real one.

didn't you get cancelled on this website like a year ago? you're free to have any joke you want now

Heinous. A true threat to the Republic.

We probably ought to have a conversation about a partisan court declaring Trump above the rule of law that is at least as intense as the one we've had about Joe Biden being very old.

Okay, it’s absolute immunity for official acts that are “within [the president’s] exclusive and preclusive authority” and presumptive immunity for all official acts. Corrupting the DOJ — absolute immunity (which boggles my mind). Pressuring Pence — presumptive immunity.

This is a good time to follow @kateriga.bsky.social @nycsouthpaw.bsky.social and @chrisgeidner.bsky.social who are my favorite SCOTUS watching types.

Just went to Playa Bowl. I love Playa Bowl. I need all my vitamins to keep my vibrations up amid the fuckery.

Really interesting thread

The bottom line is that any realistic or likely Biden replacement strategy starts with Kamala Harris.
