Sad to think that, if not for the ironclad commitment of most white people to white supremacy, we might have a country whose 250th birthday is worth celebrating, and we might have celebrated it in a way that doesn't give the vibe of a chinz-ass failed casino run by Nazi cosplayers.

Roberta Kaplan, attorney for E. Jean Carroll: "Today's Supreme Court decision affirms once and for all the jury's unanimous verdict that President Donald J. Trump sexually assaulted and defamed E. Jean Carroll. His multiple efforts to appeal that verdict have all failed…"

We appear to have developed a strange new model of armed conflict where things mostly happen only on the weekends, when the stock markets are closed.

This was the best they could do for our 250th birthday.

Cyclist Egg Incubation Time is actually based on how many imaginary miles the parents put on the stationary bicycle, meaning they don't always sync cleanly with other spring births.

The inevitable Defunctland vid on the Great American State Fair is gonna do *numbers*

The thing that bums out the most about the 250th celebrations is that under a different, less terrible administration it could be awesome. Imagine finding a massive space and setting up 50 different Farmer's markets, separated out for each state, experience their culture/food. I'd fly out to that.

There's a lot going on while you wait for the afterbirth and they're doing fundal massages and sticking the baby on your chest and cleaning you up and doing stitches if you need them but the short answer is yes, there's an immediate loss of weight and pressure from your front which is a huge relief.

It’s funny* to see climate change deniers make up increasingly desperate denials for the European Heatpocalypse going on. “Germany is five billion degrees? Oh, that’s ONLY as hot as Arizona in July, a city literally built on top of the desert sun!!!” 🤣🤣😂😆 *Not very fucking funny at all.

just needa make a few adjustments

I now fervently believe this. Relatedly, I think celebrating good news and embracing joy are equally radical. You have to remember what you’re fighting for. We cannot sustainably organize around sorrow.

Mel Brooks is a greater piece of American heritage than the Confederacy.

Cities are for people. We gave them up over the last 80 years. They can be for people again if we want them to be.

"i have 100 times the output i did before" somehow never seems to show up in actual profits or sales or anything, it's more a measurement of how people feel based on the number of emails they have a bot send

have you thanked Logan recently?

This should be a literal crime

Wake up, guys: time to badger your Congressman again. This is the latest version of the crappy KOSA bill: "push online services to verify all users’ ages, require government-directed moderation policies for online speech, and even create new rules about private and encrypted communications."

Before any of you all go "BuT tHiS wOn'T aFfEcT mE", yes if will. It will affect EVERYONE. Not jusy here on bluesky, on EVERY. FUCKING. WEBSITE. You would have to give up your fucking ID info just to use ANYTHING on the internet. It's mass surveillance. theintercept.com/2026/06/28/a...

"well technically chantilly cream has vanilla extract in it" who are you and why the fuck are you making whipped cream without a splash of vanilla extract.

A key point in Fahrenheit 451 is that books were banned because they made people depressed and uncomfortable. The novel's protagonist, Montag, is taken into custody after he reads a poem that makes a woman cry because she realizes the emptiness of her life.

Big things are happening in the r/Spyro Discord server.

The Gundam Wing Dual Story: G-Unit HG roster expands, with the Hydra Gundam announced! ⚡️ P-Bandai as per the other kits in the line. JP pre-orders today, assuming international coming soon.

Watching a Gen X explain to a Gen Z what a floppy disk drive is and suddenly realized they had to invent fidgets because nothing has satisfying buttons anymore.

The rise of AI-generated animal videos and images is such a travesty. Animal content has always been one of the best things about the internet and it’s becoming increasingly difficult to tell what’s real

hey so other than linking to a misogynistic rando's gamefaqs thread as a source (which, uh. lol?), this is just completely false? 'which competitive players have exploited for decades' this is not how hurtboxes work in fighting games. this is factually incorrect. nevermind kondo using AI to write!

Personally, I don't agree that these supplementary bits of information aren't valid just because they weren't a part of the original work. While I think the interpretation of art is absolutely a vital aspect, I'm also enjoying *a person's art.* Their intent *does* interest me.

Parade exhausted.

Indie visual novel game devs, I’d love to bring your characters’ voice acting to life. Always open for auditions in a genre that’s very dear to me 💛

... it's a bunch of styrofoam covered in stickers.

this wouldn’t work legally because a President has no authority to remove a Supreme Court justice. however the President could instead simply drone strike them. it sounds like i’m being snarky but as a result of the immunity decision this is the actual law.

An old Renne piece that I still really like. #trailsinthesky #kiseki #空の軌跡

Absolutely incredible. The detailing and that little recessed area between the columns? It's fake -- printed. A big damn flat sticker or something. 2D, not actually 3D and real.

I finally made it to the Great American State Fair. The columns on this fake building are something to behold.

My art of Raven from Teen Titans. She's been my favorite character since I was a kid. Who is Yours? #Raven #dccomics

This was how he reacted to notes on HIS films... ...when he was producing and defending another creator's work from the studio's editing scissors, he had a completely different tone like this bit about The Elephant Man. Mel Brooks is the best.
