Getting ready for night one of Passover and still going strong with the Maxwell House Haggadah. Truly among the best branded content ever. I’ve always used the blue ones. First year I’m using the updated version.

as a christian walker believer i feel so vindicated

Goodest dog of the day!

This is what posting is for!

Cool to see the NYT pick up a news story that Stars & Stripes and Task & Purpose both covered two weeks ago.

Marco Rubio has taken to releasing video statements filmed at this set, and I am now convinced that we need to increase the State Department’s budget

Sitting on grass is inherently unpleasant. My evidence:

Excited and honored to be hosting this panel on trans joy in comics which will be online May 9th.

My harmless hot take on this beautiful spring day is that holding class outside sucks: - The wind blows papers around - Can't clearly hear anyone speaking - Bugs or imagined bugs crawling up your legs - They are always mowing the lawn nearby

Huh. Interesting coincidence that the guy who owns a rocket company is arguing we need to throw an enormous amount of equipment up into orbit over the next 2-3 years. I’m sure he’s right, I hear he’s a genius.

Fascinating @markyarm.bsky.social interview with Apple's third co-founder, Ronald Wayne. Who, uh, seems to be a little lost. www.pcmag.com/articles/app...

A situation where, no shade to Dave, having a trans person in a newsroom is great for follow ups like "Do you believe trans women who are by and large treated as women in society are really men," and "Do you believe these bans should be extended to bathrooms and other contexts?"

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social 2026 Apr RITM On TDOV Romanian court orders legal recognition of trans man's gender since he was already legally male in UK. 1st enforcement landmark EU 2024 ruling that member states must recognize gender changes obtained elsewhere. Ruling is final & can't be appealed.

Wishing you a joyous and happy Passover filled with freedom and renewal. May your Passover Seder be filled with joy, family, and tradition. May this sacred season bring peace, joy, and renewal to you and your families! Chag Sameach!

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social 2026 Apr WSVN Gov DeSantis' FL Dept of Transportation and tore out Miami Beach's iconic gay pride sidewalk under cover of night. Now, Miami Beach is re-assembling all 3,606 colorful pavers just feet away in the city-owned park bordering the ocean in time for Pride.

How to solve the male loneliness crisis: get them into comics and manga(???)

A good title for a movie about robot gladiators would be Bread and Circuits

Kharg Island is 400 miles away from the Strait of Hormuz. Why are they all so stupid?

Do visit Metal Archives today. Just do it. But gotta say 14 Con is really low for Lemmy. I know he did eventually depart this mortal coil but I still say he had a Constitution score of 20. www.metal-archives.com/artists/Lemm...

ICYMI: For #TransDayofVisibility, we rounded up Rewire News Group’s coverage of the Trump administration’s legal and political attacks on trans rights and autonomy over the past year.

the funniest thing here is this guy is such an easy w that a competent fighter can take him out without ever even pausing the shit talk

To be fair this case is really about whether vanilla cookies should be the only ones allowed to stay in the jar

Yes it will. Yes I can. No they won't. No I won't. Suck my dick.

Trump administration's arguments to end birthright citizenship met with skepticism from the U.S. Supreme Court via @arianalfigueroa.bsky.social wisconsinexaminer.com/2026/04/01/r...

We spoke with @mcuban.bsky.social about how he'd fix healthcare. “I think it’s absolutely necessary for the biggest insurance companies to divest their non-insurance assets. Because the market is completely inefficient." www.healthcare-brew.com/stories/2026...

Retired Rear Admiral Nancy Lacore, who is seeking the Democratic nomination to flip Nancy Mace's House seat, says she raised over $1 million in her opening quarter.

JUST IN from @arianalfigueroa.bsky.social The U.S. Supreme Court Wednesday seemed poised to reject the Trump administration's attempt to redefine the constitutional right to birthright citizenship. www.newsfromthestates.com/article/us-s...

Just got word that my friend Shane DiGiovanna passed away. Shane was an OG Bulwark reader whom I got to know shortly after moving to Cincinnati. He was quite a person. 🧵

I am in the waiting room of my doctor's office and some asshole is watching a video on their phone with no headphones. Another is reading social media out loud to their spouse. I can hear this all from across the room and am trying to stop myself from hoping whatever they have is terminal

Anyway if anyone is looking for a full-time writer/reporter/editor/film critic/museum reporter/whatever I'm around! Haven't had a full-time job in six years and really am hoping to leave the bar industry/not be wiped out by freelance bills.

"Rozz was a very young gay man singing about blood, loneliness, guilt and death at the start of “Gay Cancer” aka the AIDS crisis." To mark the anniversary of his death I updated the essay I wrote about Rozz Williams and Christian Death for @marchxness.bsky.social's March Vladness contest.

Funniest/saddest way to see a rejection is to log on here and see someone else got the thing you wanted

“"You cannot tie people's return to their homes to some vague safety guarantee that you decide," Kaiss says. "People must be allowed to return to their homes, once the hostilities cease."”

NEW $20 DINNER There's a new Williamsburg outpost of Herbie's Burgers, the smashburger chain from Albany—and, as @scoboco.bsky.social writes, they're slinging nothing but bangers:

JD Vance’s book announcement previews the role religion will play in the 2028 GOP Presidential primaries. My piece this morning: open.substack.com/pub/goodpoli...

Has anyone tried blasting Body of an American during oral arguments and throwing some cold ones to Kavanaugh?

Listen to @bloodwork.show (They did a really good episode on 24)

Holy shit they even have an MCU Hochul with the serial numbers filed off.

Things have really ground to a halt in Frankfort, as the House and Senate are both in a prolonged recess. House GOP leadership and budget chairs are skirting in and out of a conference room. I don't think they've finished the budget bill yet. 12 hours to midnight and the veto period. #kyga26

I feel vindicated and hope Dem campaigns stop (or severely limit) use of this tactic

Those "DOOM" fundraising messages sometimes carry consequences. The @michigandems.bsky.social highlight a text from Rep. John James featuring a dire warning about his own campaign for #MIGov, which one of his opponents is now weaponizing against him.

Trump is going to start raging on “truth” social any minute.

As always, Elie's threads during Supreme Court questioning are a rich trove of understanding and humor, but this specific post is really the key to understanding the role of which Fox News has destroyed America.

New from Adam McCormick: When a teenager in Texas is pushed out of their home because of their sexual orientation or gender identity, foster care is supposed to help. But for many LGBTQ+ youth, rejection does not end when the state steps in.

Ass to Ass for the real perverts youtu.be/AkNqCJeeC48

Happy (almost) Passover! Your regular reminder that Yogi Berra loved matzo ball soup and used to call it "whatchyamacallit soup" and demanded it every time he wasn't feeling well.

Ooh, he’s pissed. He knows he’s losing.

The Wawa Boston creme donut has been hitting in precisely the same way for at least 30 years. Incredible gas station trash food consistency.

Will a cranky Trump approve to distract himself from the other disasters or delay because he's tired of dealing with the Middle East?

The hot rumor of the day in Frankfort (and a nasty one, at that) is that legislators will go PAST MIDNIGHT tonight, as they have an extra day to meet and they can override any veto of bills on Day 60 April 15, so the bills would still be veto proof. Nasty, nasty rumor. #kyga26

The most important thing to know about the DOJ under Trump is that it’s a total clown show.

[Steve Miller busts into Supreme Court like Kool-Aid man, runs full speed at Sauer, shoves him to the ground, leans into the microphone] Miller:

Been following several people commenting on the 14th amendment arguments, and wait. What is this thing I’m feeling? Could it be… hope? That orange bastard is sitting there glaring at the justices, but it really sounds like they’re gonna stick it to him this time.

On Friday, the Temple Wildcats baseball team beat the Killeen Kangaroos 41-1. Temple scored 24 runs in the second inning in that game. Then the next game, Temple pitcher Champ Mayo (who had 4 RBIs in the 41-0 game) no-hit Killeen in a game where Temple scored another 15 runs.

I had to mute Justice Thomas because <<shudder>>

People, if, rn, you're making announcements that you want to be circulated widely, please understand that, in much of the U.S. on Bluesky, you will be swamped by comments on the Supreme Court's Birthright Citizenship Argument that is live. Don't be discouraged. Just re-send in a couple of hours.

This guy seems to be a lightweight clown hired solely for his willingness to push fascist, racist policies for a fascist, racist president. Just my opinion!

Democrat Alex Vindman is off to a strong fundraising start. He says he raised $8.2 million since launching his campaign for #FLSen at the end of January and has $6.2 million on hand. He's seeking to unseat Republican Sen. Ashley Moody. mailchi.mp/5cd04e20f598...

@artologica.net may be relevant to your interests

He's got 2 more years to dip into the 20s. I believe in him!

I'm sorry, I saw someone mention Amy Coney Barrett saying "yeah yeah yeah, but what about the Constitution" in the birthright citizenship arguments, and I assumed it was a paraphrase/snarky translation of a question she asked, but now I'm being led to believe those are actually words that she said?

Not even enough commas for right wingers to treat it like 2A. New levels of bad faith happening on this one.

In this week's Hell Gate Podcast, we chatted about our hottest takes from Hell Gate's March Madness of NYC Hot Takes 2026 bracket, including... whether you should be able to use surface-to-air missiles should be legalized... podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

one of my problems with "adopt a dumb phone" is that doing so essentially shuts you out of a lot of mandatory society stuff. you need an app to pay for parking in so many places now, etc.

Gonna deal with the birthright citizenship hearing by baking coconut muffins with chopped mango bits

This is such a Roberts move: take the case, be part of the majority that votes it down, but in doing so, lend the case undue legitimacy that opens the door to a reversal later. I hate that we have to hear these arguments and that there will likely be 2 votes against birthright citizenship.

HELL YA (obviously not me)

Is the long 2016 finally starting to end?

we're doing the equivalent of painting everything with radium because it looks cool

Regine does so much for the comics community. Also an Eisner judge this year, but that doesn't pay the bills in our industry. Please do consider tossing her a few bucks if you have the chance.

Citing religious freedoms, the Supreme Court has overturned a block on a California ruling that forced the outing of trans kids. @alyssaur.bsky.social brings you this story of legal animus.

They can't go with an originalist argument because the language of the Amendment is plain and unambiguous. So they're left with trying out a bad version of 'the Constitution is a living document' on a bunch of originalists

The funeral home I used for both my parents just made a weird sales call text. Hopefully it's the last one. LOL

They can't go with an originalist argument because the language is the Amendment is plain and unambiguous so they have to try the below on a bunch of originalists

With the jalapeño’s heat deliberately dulled to the point of soullessness, Texans have only one option. We must discard the jalapeño—in pico de gallo, on nachos, and cooked alongside meats, for starters—and embrace its spicier sibling, the serrano, as our everyday chile.

Be very careful about not approaching a Taylor Lorenz of screen time

I just found out today and WOW. I guess I should thank him for teaching me about something new.

also at this point, if the president of the United States is going to show up for oral arguments, I am not sure what legitimate case there is for not allowing cameras in SCOTUS if there ever was one.

Everyone loves @emilysweeney22.bsky.social the Boston reporter with the Boston accent. Please enjoy me losing an accent contest to her a few years ago. youtu.be/m-Y0HTsbFjg?...

It has, objectively, been an absolutely shit start to the week for the Brooklyn Democratic Party establishment, several of whom—a sitting NYC councilmember, an aide to Gov. Kathy Hochul, and the husband of the BK Dems boss—are suddenly implicated in an alleged corruption and bribery scandal.

"i'm not sure how much you want to rely on wong kim ark" lmfao gorsuch is cooking this guy
