Incredible thread about carnivore brain morphology. Also includes pic of raccoon doing Tiny Jazz Hands.

William Shatner is 94 years old and still works like he owes a Staten Island loan shark money. Every time I blink, he's in another ad.

My favorite part of the Olympics is when I decide my mental health and well-being hinge entirely upon the performance of an athlete I didn't even know existed until 5 minutes ago.

I so sincerely wish that NBC would edit out the whining sound of the drones flying ahead over the men's slopestyle. It's like a drill in the brain.

Quinn Hughes constantly looks like he's being haunted by the ghost of a Victorian child and it's sucking the life force out of him.

I just watched an ad during the USA-Germany hockey game for Pepsi with prebiotics. We are officially in peak wellness culture late-stage capitalist hell.

My English-Scots-Irish ancestors didn't die for multiculturalism; they killed for it. Killed Confederates who said shit exactly like this.

Are Democrats fighting to get us back to this? Or are they fighting to stop this? That's an essential question that party needs to answer and that we should be asking ourselves.

What would you consider this era's "American Pie" (song, not movie) or "Howl"? I don't think we have one.

I miss the days when the worst federal government cover-up on behalf of Donald Trump was Aileen Cannon burying Jack Smith's classified documents case.

What absolutely floors me is that normies like me know this and have known this for a while, and yet, the people who are ostensibly in fields that are coming to rely on this faulty tech somehow don't.

Imagine being publicly cucked by Corey freaking Lewandowski for a woman who looks like she tells her plastic surgeon "steroid bloat" as her aesthetic goals. Kristi Noem's husband, man. Wow. Not a great time for him.

50 Cent should buy the footage from the documentary Steve Bannon was trying to make about Jeffrey Epstein and use it to make his own, Diddy documentary style.

Remember all the "In Trump's Second Term, the Resistance is Dead" headlines?

The New York Times just launched a new "newsletter about the law and the courts." They are calling it "The Docket." The Times may not care that Democracy Docket has been publishing "On the Docket" and "Daily Docket" for years, but I believe our 400,000 subscribers might. More on this tomorrow.

I just felt a surge of such rage that my vision went blurry for a second.

Fascinating that he chose looksmaxxing as his thing when he looks like, well...*gestures to picture* You have eyes.

Los Angeles over here like, "...tf? Y'all should be learning from us, too. We invented ACAB."

When you're only 9 lbs. but still full of imperious judgment.

This is a vivid, horribly relevant read. “She does not sleep well. And as you lift up her pajama top to check her rash one morning, you see that her breathing is labored, shadows pooling between her ribs when she sucks in air. You suffer an icy moment of realization: This is a medical crisis.”

It's not even that: It's that they don't CARE whether or not there is a future beyond their lives. They know there won't be, for the record, but they wouldn't care even if they didn't.

Inflation isn't as bad under Trump as people are acting, just as it wasn't under Biden. I have a theory that voters' general unhappiness with the economy has as much to do with the enshittification of everything, AI being shoved down our throats, and dislike of billionaires as actual inflation.

Still around 100 community reports of ICE activity around the Twin Cities today, the most of any state by far. In case you’re wondering why so many of us aren’t quite taking Homan’s presser today at face value.

I do not know who said this first, but I just stumbled across this quote about AI: "Empowerment was the pitch. Dependency is the business model," and I'm not going to stop thinking about it for...forever.

Starting to think the conspiracy theorists who believe that the weasel accidentally getting into the Large Hadron Collider back in 2016 launched us into a different, messed-up timeline might be onto something, because just...*waves hand around* just holy shit, you guys.

American politics is a seesaw driven by the biggest dipshits you’ve ever met it’s just this comic over and over and over again, forever

Behold, the genetic superiority of the master race. bsky.app/profile/chri...

I have said this many, many times: We need to stop anointing every white man (and some white women) as the Next Great Public Intellectual after a single article or study or 15 minutes that make the rounds. That is not a large enough sample size.

Here's the thing: AI is quite bad at doing the things Silicon Valley hypes it as being able to do right now. It might replace some workers - it already has. But we're also seeing these companies do an about-face as they realize oh, whoops, they actually need people because AI can't do what they can.

When I was still with Screen Rant, I wrote extensively about the third Talisman book. Peak of my career that Stephen King himself read and commented on it here on ye olde Bluesky. This piece was a joy to read.

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

Too often when discussing trans rights, we’re forced to be on the defensive, as Republicans wage attacks. Today, we take the opportunity to look forward by introducing my Trans Bill of Rights, a comprehensive vision to provide protections for all trans and nonbinary people.

So, at what point does the process for Pam Bondi to be disbarred begin? Because after today, it's clear she should never be allowed to practice law again.

Starting to think the Grim Reaper is also on the Epstein list and being blackmailed, because goddamn.

*looks at latest polling* Ah, yes, must be a coincidence, surely.

We're losing way too many of the good ones and not nearly enough of the monsters. R.I.P. James Van Der Beek.

The Democrats idea of fighting fascism.

It's even worse now than it was after the pivot-to-video collapse of 2015-16.

One argument opposition politicians could use is talking about how much public money is being blown on this horseshit.

Fellow neurodivergents, you ever randomly do something so weird without even realizing it when no one's around and suddenly think to yourself, "Damn, that was weird, even for me"?

❗️LA tells its police to use bodycams to record ICE, also banning federal immigration agents from using city property & fee on owners who allow federal agents to use private property

I can not overstate how many people around my age majored in general computer science when we entered college. They're now washing out because they are a dime a dozen whereas liberal arts people like me are getting snapped up by tech & STEM fields because they have no one who can do what we can.

Worth watching this in full. The statement is more powerful than this quote alone. Here is is from USA Today, with alt text. Also! Rich Ruohonen is a personal injury lawyer and the oldest athlete to ever represent the United States in a Winter Games at 54 years old.

Oh yeah, totally legit response. Not shady at all.

Bloomington police announce arrests in sex trafficking bust: "Rashad Johnson out of Maple Grove. This is the most disturbing arrest that we've had here. He is a backgrounder for ICE, Homeland Security, and federal agencies."
