Damn it’s like when Nicki Minaj’s cousin’s friend got the COVID shot

Big news in the Picciuto household, where today we had Papa Bear’s and Mama Bear’s avocados

The replies to this post - which is about remembering Jews who were murdered by the Nazis, and says nothing at all about Palestine or Israel - are filling me with despair.

Kamala is for They/Them Might Be Giants

@realfollowers.bsky.social hello!

Can we say men are TRULY independent unless they can extract themselves from needing the roads built and maintained, either being educated by the state or having rich parents, needing their household kept by a spouse, having the courts guarantee their contracts, Medicare for their aging parents?

There are many reasons, including the one below. But I loathe when people say “leaded gas.” Partly because there’s no real evidence, but also plenty of people with high IQs support Trump. IQ isn’t morality. The head thing comes across as “because they’re a buncha r-words haha.”

Get his ass, Your Holiness

When the headline asks a question answered by the subhead.

Tried to explain to my youngest today the absolute weirdness of a baseball fan pope criticizing a Republican president on social issues.

Me: i’m so sick of persnickety media criticism, truly pointless Also me:

If media organizations even just regularly phrased things with “the president,” his behavior would stand out much more.

An excellent encompassing article about our mom by esteemed writer, Robert Hill. 👏🪬 newpittsburghcourier.com/2026/04/11/r...

Ok what we all need for days like this is a gif from this mst3k episode when all the Finns are dancing around singing about what a loser Lemminkäinen is.

JD Vance, are you free in October

Happy Terrible Week for JD Vance to all those who celebrate!

Nice to see antisemitism take an L today! (kinehora)

first the pope and now Orban!

1) Hell yeah! 2) Fascists are NOT impossible to dislodge even with a foothold 3) May Vance bring the same electoral magic to us over the next two years.

Genuinely don’t understand growing up in the US in the eighties and saying this. Like, did you just kind of forget the dominant foreign policy conflict of the decade that made all the kids nervous?

Rally around literally anything other than the flag

was once New Amsterdam.

My man found a 27-year-old bug in OpenBSD only to fail the garden diary challenge

Can’t recommend this more highly

Really well-observed, cutting account of Trump watching a UFC bout while talks collapse in Iran: www.nytimes.com/2026/04/11/u...

call me a liberal nationalist but I feel proud to export an American culture of space exploration, multicultural immigrant cuisine, the Black American music tradition, football basketball baseball, NY Jewish comedy, land grant universities, and social libertarianism

Olive having one of those evenings when you just want to curl up with a good book.

Things that would seem magical if they weren’t real but were depicted in a children’s book: - Fireflies - Plants that eat sunlight - Butterflies that look like snakes’ faces - Underwater creatures with eight arms who change color as they dream

We call this the reverse LBJ

Seeing a lot of “we all knew” followed by “what did you expect us to do” from political reporters and operators.

How is this the present day? It looks like the wandering dreams of an 1880s reprobate passed out in a Tenderloin district opium den.

Hello, I made you a feed of your cats watching the Artemis II splashdown bsky.app/profile/did:...

Nice to see that progressive men are still keeping other men’s crimes secret.

How does the Artemis lady sound so calm??

Artemis splashdown in about 20 minutes, cowpokes.

Truly astonishing work. I’ve heard the hiccuping scenes left test audiences weeping.

If you suppose what Anthropic says about Mythos is close to the truth, just exceptional timing for the DoD to disengage from Anthropic.

What do you call Louis XIV Nazi style?

I remember when teens having children out of wedlock was the whole problem with the Black community.

It is such a relief to hear someone in a leadership position passionately articulate the stuff you used to think we all should know is the right thing.

The nuclear block should only work for bad people criticizing good takes, not good people criticizing bad takes.

I just had the most reactionary “Back in my day, we called that having a WORK ETHIC, suck it up, buttercup!” response to this.

I'm a data scientist @ourworldindata.org and I need help from a botanist or someone local to Kyoto, Japan! 🌸 We present one of the world’s longest climate records: 1,200 years of peak cherry blossom dates in Kyoto. The researcher who maintained it, Prof. Yasuyuki Aono, sadly passed away last year.

Not feeling great about the phenomenon in which the right wing watches these videos over and over and blames Democrats and gets angrier and angrier.

The philosopher who was told by Texas A&M administrators to remove a text by Plato from his course is the second philosopher this term to decide to leave the university owing to its academic freedom failures. dailynous.com/2026/04/09/p...

Do not, under any circumstances, repost the video or screenshots of the video here. I will block and report.

I can’t imagine a view so heinous you couldn’t get seven philosophy professors to sign on, and there are many fewer philosophy professors than law professors.

I've created a list for Bluesky users who were part of philosophy Twitter back in the day. Help me populate it! Also happy to add people who wish they had been part of the old community. I've added a few names already. (Ask if you'd like to be removed.) bsky.app/profile/did:...

To all who celebrate
