I really want people to think about this. After all the insane lawsuits, all the threats, all the bullshit weve seen from this admin and the targets who kneeled in fear, an average Joe called the president a Pedophile protector to his face and didn't get touched. That's the Power of a union.

The story goes like this, in 1967 a little girl called Takara’s customer service number, and asked to speak to Licca-chan. Not wanting to crush a little kid’s dreams, the operator quickly replied “Hello, this is Licca-chan!” Very cute, totally harmless. …right?

The new Muppet Show special on Disney+ is amazing. I really loved it, and I hope they pick it up as a series.

Anniversary of the 1961 Greensboro Sit-In, an integral part of the Civil Rights movement in the US. The four men here were students at North Carolina A&T State University: (left to right) David Richmond, Franklin McCain, Ezell A. Blair, Jr., and Joseph McNeil. #NCAT #AggiePride

I just thought everyone should see this

@infinata.bsky.social you get a lot of Star Wars questions, and this isn't the most pressing one, I'm sure... but I'd really like to know more about Darth Maul's whole gongfu tea setup, and I suspect the show's not going to reveal it. Why is he using a gaiwan AND a teapot? What kind of tea is it?😄

This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan. A citizen. Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold. "We're from the United States bro!' he screamed. Agents took and sold his phone And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

A great read on how we can actually finally regulate tech and move away from the US government’s blackmail grip over global tech markets that are currently forced to favour US tech bros. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

BIG FIGHT AT POLAND’S WROCLAW ZOO!!!

The viability of chatbot "AI" loiters entirely in the shadows of Dunning-Kruger.

Democrats need to understand that they can just say “It’s insane to threaten Greenland” and “I don’t think ICE should murder Americans in the street” and you don’t need to pretend to link it to the affordability crisis. Say bad things are bad.

I... was definitely underprepared.😅

HELLO! I WOULD LIKE TO CONNECT WITH INDIE/SELF PUB BOOK FOLKS - CALLING ALL READERS, WRITERS, REVIEWERS! I'm judging for an indie book contest called #SPFBO and I'm looking to get the widest audience possible for this year's contest. Follow back if you want me to chuck recommendations your way!

This year, I learned a lot about the depths of moral depravity of many of my fellow Americans. But I also learned something important: if you're making a TV dinner with mashed potatoes, they'll taste better if you add in some wild ramps when you get to that step where you stir them.

The fact that Daenerys didn't enter into an epic final battle with the Night King by combining her three dragons, and the castle at King's Landing, to form a giant robot is why Game of Thrones will always be inferior to Archecore's Arena of the Ancient God.

"You there, boy! [slurpy inhale sound] What day is it?"

Love it when fictional characters say shit like this

It's hard to imagine any rational business model built around a product that fails way more than half the time. Chatbots can be amusing, but they're not the serious economic engine of the future that their backers promise -- all they do is automate scamming.

“We’ve run out of good ideas. What if it’s time for some bad ones?”

Ah yes, we've now entered that magical season each year where I pass judgment upon my neighbors based solely on whether they put out salt on the walkways in front of their houses.😄

Simply having a wonderful Christmas Prime 🎵

for dick van dyke's 100th birthday, let's agree that that is actually how english chimney sweeps sound like, he nailed it, if you're an english chimney sweep and don't sound like that, you're doing it wrong

It's weird when people act like Anakin shouldn't be a Force ghost at the end of RotJ. It's a Force power, and he was REALLY strong in the Force. And since when is being a ghost about good deeds? Maybe the other two are being punished for all the child soldiers, and various murders.🤷‍♂️

i stand by this statement every year

"To hold in my hand a device that holds such storage. To know that owning a Haircut 100 back catalogue on such a scale was my choice. To know that the tiny pressure on my thumb, enough to move the click wheel, would change the song. Yes! I would do it! That power would set me up above the gods!"

Me: What if Allan Sherman were in Daft Punk. He'd be all like, "hello muddah, hello faddah, fasta stronga, betta hahda 🎶" My date who I will NOT be seeing again: you don't have to do the voices 🙄

It’s been a while but finally got a team together to make another cardboard, transforming Optimus Prime! 6 foot 3, Powermaster inspired and ready to roll out! #maccadam #transformers Thread of transformation, WIPs and plans below ⬇️

In all honesty, Ireland, Spain and the Netherlands are usually among my favorite acts each year. If they can get Armenia out and do their own contest, I'll be quite happy to watch that instead. (I don't have any connection to Armenia, I just usually really like their acts 😄)

hi i'm a billionaire my company, which will definitely not murder everyone, is named SauronMurdersEveryone Inc after the beloved jrr tolkien character sauron whom i have always admired for his disruptive use of world changing technology and for murdering everyone

My scandalous tea opinion: White tea is just maocha.

Watched Netflix's new season of A Man On the Inside, and I have to say, Jackée has still got it. I feel like I haven't seen her in anything in ages, which seems weird because she's always been a bundle of pure charisma, and hasn't lost a step.

Autocorrect has become our worst enema.

I didn't know much about President Garfield, but he sure does seem great in Death By Lightning (currently on Netflix, stellar cast). I love the line, "but when a man brings war to my doorstep, he will find me home."

I keep seeing posts complaining about Mandalorian women in Star Wars wearing different looking armor than Mandalorian men. But every Mandalorian has different armor; it's a style, not a uniform. No two of them look alike anyway, so why a special critique for the ones who chose feminine flourishes?

"Resisted backing" is such a BS headline. He threatened anyone who backed it, and had his followers send them death threats. And it still didn't work. So now, in classic Trumpian style, he's declaring victory as he backpedals. And next, his followers will say the backpedal proves he's innocent.

I’ve always found it interesting how much microblogging character limits streamline language use. No room for weasel words, purple prose, digression. But I think it’s also part of how extremism ramps up. Because neither is there room for nuance, citation, qualifiers, any softening or mitigation.

Once again, if you wrote a story in which the jetsetting corrupt FBI chief took a government plane to the "Boondoggle Ranch" an editor would tell you to get a different job, because you're not cut out for writing believable stories.

"If you’re disheartened by the fact that we live in an individualistic, portable, meritocratic, consumer world" ...I'm not, though? I have a great family, so maybe I'm spoiled by riches. But to me it seems like, if you need social support, it's easier than ever to find it.

I LEARNED THE ANSWER TO THIS Chris's Steakhouse was a New Orleans landmark Chris Matulich periodically got bored, sold it, waited for the new owner to fail, and bought it back cheap The sale conditions: Can't move it, can't change the name He did this six times Then he sold it to Ruth Fertel

I tossed in one apple on a whim, and it was among the first things taken. And then later, as I was taking my son trick or treating, from down the street I heard a child's triumphant cry of, "Potato!" Internet memes are real.😲
