Every time I see right wing bigots trying to appropriate Terry, my main thought is that it's a shame they didn't hook his coffin up to a dynamo to further irritate them by providing infinite renewable energy www.thepinknews.com/2021/08/06/t...

Because people keep asking, the Story of The Lizard In That Dude's Leg. Some caveats: 1. This happened more than twenty years ago. There are no pictures. There was a small article in a local paper with, again, no pictures (I'm assuming that's what the producers of 9-1-1: LONE STAR found).

It's time for everyone's favorite chronologically unanchored holiday, The Story of the Lizard in the Leg.

In one of the final filmed shots of The Terminator, James Cameron wanted to explode a car, but was absolutely refused any further extension to the movie’s budget. He solved the problem by blowing up his own car.

the universe may be dying. entropy will probably win. but I exist at the same point in space time as cool ranch doritos. I wonder what other snacks I’ll get to eat

I just want to point out that this woman sits in a government supported by a fascist party, her party supports Israel’s genocide in Gaza and she recently said she wanted to institute a ban on niqabs and /1

My new favorite kind of meme is "here are detailed instructions on how to turn off AI". 🔨

Well put by @drrachelbarr.bsky.social

Once again I am struck by how as children we found Frog and Toad to be silly and whimsical, and then as adults we

You aren’t prepared to gaze upon the truth

authors you have the chance to do the funniest thing right now

Pope Leo XIV understands technology and its relationship to art better any executive or AI-pilled techbro running the conference circuit.

OMG what the hell. This is just cruel Jewelry often has a value beyond the practical, it's often a reminder of loved ones. Could this timeline be a little less reminiscent of 1930ies Germany?

you think ten years makes you safe? my brain is cursed bitch

Nichols is the guy who melted down once when the guy bagging his groceries didn't respond to his thanks with the right amount of obsequiousness, right?

HOLY SHIT. They found the genes for fibromyalgia - and it's *not* autoimmune, it's the central nervous system. It's very cool to see some progress made on the thing that's ruined my life since late teenage years!

Yeah, but he's lying. The Marine Corps warns members that in no uncertain terms that if they get nazi tattoos, or any tattoo that was in violation of the maradmin - they'd be kicked out. So you'd check. Also, all tattoos are documented when you go to MEPS, so show us the 2808 and the waiver.

If he had documentation he would have had it ready to go months ago. He's a liar. Only a few years ago he was voting straight ticket republican and a few years before that he was a merc in the "war on terror". Now sells himself as working class progressive jesus. Enough nonsense from this guy.

So in closing: If he got caught with this tattoo in the Marines, he'd be courts martialed. If he had this tattoo when he went to the NG, he'd be thrown off the MEPS floor. If he tried to get a waiver he'd be thrown out of the recruiting office. And he refuses to provide any documentation.

The photos crossed our radar first and we genuinely thought they were faked but nope! The Pope hates Illinois Nazis! www.thetimes.com/world/europe...

It's all true... but the style of this meme is breaking my brain a bit.

TV conspiracies: we’ve hacked their computers but they’ve perfectly cleaned up the evidence! Real conspiracies: To: conspirator From: famous person Attachment: evidence.png

You guys wanna see a dead body?

I love this.

Betcha didn't have money on the Catholic Church being the only institution with the spine to stand up to fascism this time round.

What's from Chicago, hates Illinois Nazis, and is holy as fuck? It's the Pope in 1982.

never not going to be wild how a certain sort of person is so obsessed with the idea of politicians sharing their beliefs that all the politician has to do is pretend to share their beliefs and those people will ride to the death to defend the politician from not actually sharing their beliefs

I climbed into bed and Kevin waited until I was in, then tapped his phone and it began playing the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, and anyway, this is why I love him.

Meanwhile, you can load up Cryptmaster and have NPCs spout fully-voiced responses, (albeit very SIMPLE responses most of the time, but I digress,) to just about any inane bullshit you could possibly think to type at them. SKILL. ISSUE.

(And if you haven't played Cryptmaster yet—consider doing that! It's great! You get absolutely golden moments like this one without any GenAI fuckery involved!) youtube.com/shorts/ZCxDJ...

MoveOn, Indivisible, Our Revolution, and 6 Democrats have called on Chuck Schumer to step aside as leader. So we asked all 40 Democratic senators who didn’t cave to Republicans if they still think Schumer is the right leader. Here's what they said. @andrewperez.bsky.social @swin24.bsky.social

I love a meme targeted for my demographic

"This is not my normal spot but I'll remember where I put it"

“whatever club he’s invited to join has been devalued by the invitation”

this is literally never not accurate

Joyce Carol Oates owned Elon so hard he's spent the last day posting about movies he hasn't seen in 15 years

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer. He is a computer safety researcher. And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine. In under 1600 words. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

Iggy was an invaluable tester and contributed so much to the project. He was absolutely brilliant in the game and came up with so many original strategies we had never considered. Please help us spread the word and as we help find him a living kidney donor. 💙

So the thing you need to understand is that the only principle these fuckers actually have is Power. Seeking it, wielding it, and if they can't do that, worshipping it. That's it. All other principles are a distant second at best, and most often just a fig leaf. .

new article this weekend. I need about $150 to cover the rest of my doctor's bill, and I'd like this to make like $500 more minimum to try and pay my bills

10/10 take. No notes.

God, a thousand times this. That's the thing with dopamine being tied to task initiation - there's a set of gears that won't - CAN'T - engage in my brain, but none of my problems are with analysis. I can be fully aware of all the necessary steps, and stressing about starting, and just... not.

Going thru my phone, I found this reminder of the importance of sending books to people in prison. This was from a man who had been in solitary confinement for several years & received PRISON BY ANY OTHER NAME, my book with @mayaschenwar.bsky.social

Discworld QOTD, from Carpe Jugulum “Am I dyin’?’ YES. ‘Will I die?’ YES. Granny Weatherwax thought this over. ‘But from your point of view, everyone is dying and everyone will die, right?’ YES. ‘So you aren’t actually bein’ a lot of help, strictly speakin’.’”
