Free speech absolutism is the death of democracy. The much lauded “marketplace of ideas” is just as corruptible as any market when there’s massive wealth concentration at the top.

Not to be controversial but I think we should use tools and resources to make people's lives less miserable instead of more

Voilà !

Are there valid uses for smart glasses? Yes. Are they mostly going to be used to perv? I'm thinking also yes.

The weather outside is frightful, but

Hugs and love to those struggling this holiday season 🫶🏽🎁

hey fellas is it gay to experience joy

they recovered the black box from santa's sleigh looks like he hit those mountains on purpose you can hear the reindeer trying to stop him

Folks, I lived it

Ugh, I had this as a teenager. 0/10, do not recommend.

you think about scrooge and he basically gave cratchit reasonably stable long term employment and paid him more or less enough to raise a family on a single income and he's still a fucking villain. today's billionaires are like 10x worse

You can go ahead and tell the chef that if the infant isn't tender and mild I WILL be sending it back

Kids these days.

Final episode of Sandy and Nora for 2025! We look back on a shit year, look forward to probably something worse, and make you feel like there are thousands others who are just as much in despair as you are. One million people listened to S&N in 2025. Bring on 2026! sandyandnora.com/looking-back...

The Grinch didn’t used to be all over the place at Christmas. It was a book and a tv special and that was it. He wasn’t a co-headliner with Santa.

👏👏👏😂😂😂

I don't believe in hell, but if I did, there would be a particularly spicy place in it for people who scam seniors out of money.

I can see how religion happens Its 7am and still pitch black outside I could very easily be talked into sacrificing a goat to bring the sun/summer back It's worth a try 😂

Oh really, you follow the Mediterranean diet? That's cool. I follow the Subterranean diet (earthworms and various grubs)

Popularism means telling politicians to craft their message for an incredibly specific guy I just made up

I loved that my longtime GP would always just matter-of-factly ask me at every annual physical if I wanted STI testing like it was nbd (because it isn't). No shame, no judgment.

This new britpop album cover goes hard

I'm getting big New Yorker cartoon vibes thinking about this

I heard a bird sing In the dark of December A magical thing And sweet to remember "We are nearer to Spring Than we were in September" I heard a bird sing In the dark of December - Oliver Herford #NationalRobinDay #WinterSolstice

Started ugly laughing because I thought to myself that for this to be an accurate depiction of opening a chocolate orange you would need to swing this woman into the walls like a wrecking ball

In fairness we did get a new TV this week

Please tell me that Xitter is pronounced "shitter"

Getting paid to beat up Andrew Tate. Bro got the best temp job assignment in the world that day.

got my adhd upgraded to ad4k

We said for years: don't normalise having these "debates" about trans people and immigrants. Everyone thought they knew better. And now it's absolutely normal to say trans people are deviants and immigrants are subhuman, and we're having debates about whether women can vote.

i know that one specific pic of clinton is fake, but if your political philosophy requires that the elites on the other side are evil corrupt vampires but not the elites on your side, i have very bad news for you about the elites of our society.

An absolutely magnificent Freudian slip! 🤌🏼

Those new to Bsky need to be made aware of one of the greatest skeets ever, deleted long before its time.

This was my biggest tweet over in the bad place. It will live here now. 🧙‍♀️🎄

billionaire: i have 3 brains. in my skull interviewer: incredible

Seeing a lot of commentary on the amount of photos taken at Epstein's Island and the conclusion that these were idiots who didn't understand how incriminating it would be. But it wasn't stupidity. It was arrogance and the knowledge that power protects power.

My parents were paying credit card level interest rates on their mortgage in the late 70s/early 80s. If we hadn't lived on a small farm with the ability to produce much of our own food, idk how we would've had enough to eat. And both my parents had jobs, too! 🤯

Dear Santa, If I’ve been naughty, it was done gently, with good intentions and excellent manners And if we’re being honest, quite charmingly.

THREAD. My parents' cat Bridget vanished. As the weeks dragged on they became ever more worried, so to distract himself my dad began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up at some of art & music's most important moments. I've collected his work here...

I am quite shocked that a certain large employer did not make a much-anticipated shitty announcement yesterday at 4 pm Eastern but maybe they are saving it for next week. 🤔

This is a problem with the current standards that would be hard to fix without budget allocation, but it's inequitable. > For people outside of cars, the clock starts when the snow stops, and it resets when snow starts. > For people in cars, the clock starts when the snow starts and never resets.

“why are there no leftist pick up artists” because seeing women as a commodity one can obtain is fundamentally at odds with leftism. hope that helps

"Has feminism failed women brought to you by bank of america" is my MKULTRA sleeper agent activation phrase

The best thing about having friends and colleagues who are fluent in German is being able to ask them jokingly if there is a German word for a complicated and completely niche situation and finding out that yes, there is a word for that. 😂
