... he finally got me. This is just too random and crazy to understand. I'm at the point that it wouldn't surprise me if he names Hulk Hogan as his new Attorney General.

“Quiet night, Jimmy?” “Yeah. You want that topped off?” “Not just yet, thanks.” “Mind if I put on the TV?” “Anything but the fucking news.”

All that being said, man, it's so much simpler just to block and move on with Bluesky. The 'you must engage idiots' on Twitter was a lot more persuasive on Twitter at the time and here it is a lot more 'block and move the fuck on' from idiots.

I do not like the general 'bluesky is broken' narrative that is popular right now because I remember when Twitter was worse. But the self righteous 'better than thou' class has been hugely distilled. They're easy to spot, easy to block, but man, they are huffing their own farts at a wild rate.

[P] I can never choose between these two

Not going to lie. One of the few posts that made me laugh outloud.

A good look at the deep racism and right wing propaganda dominating the so called 'Independence movement' in Alberta. thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...

Hazel Mae playing the invisible piccolo of rage is sending me

Whelp, the NDP have decided that federally it is time to throw in the towel. Avi Lewis, a commentator who has never won political office has been elected the party leader. The NDP desperately needed a bricks and mortar leader who would focus on repairing the damage of Singh's rot int he party.

Mashup Bands: The Tragically Metric

Nothing like a walk off Bert from Ernie.

I would like to point out that an entire generation has been so poisoned by Harry Potter like terminology that people referring to people at No Kings rallies as 'normies' is insanely broken.

my cat's always suuuper chill about going to the vets #caturday #cats #cat #comic

I will never continue to be amazed at some of the thought paths religion leads people to.

The latest news out of the ME is Iran now looking at increased demands before they are willing to allow the Strait of Hormuz to re-open. It is truly amazing that the US in general and Trump in specific have wasted vast sums of money and munitions to get to a point where they have strengthened Iran.

How can this go on for another 3 years?

Weirdest? Frito Pie, Apple Cider Doughnuts, Gator, Beer Cheese Soup? Someone clearly ran out of steam partway through.

We grown, so let's talk about fantasy erotica and how @alexisflower.bsky.social is the fucking goat. aftermath.site/i-roved-out-...

Got to be honest, L gives me access to Montreal, Toronto, New York, Chicago, Boston as well as all of Portugal, a wide chuck of west Africa, and even a little bit of Ireland et al with no expenses. That's a lot of baseball, theatres, fine dining, museums and live music.

This makes me feel like this isn't over. One dipshit executive making a bad 'feels' decision is about to get killed by market research.

most of them are awful people in other respects as well! why would you not cast that net to get a big catch of awful you can then get rid of? hypatia.ca/2017/07/18/t...

This is Amy Madigan and Ed Harris refusing to applaud Elia Kazan's honorary Oscar in 1999. During the Blacklist Era, Kazan named names. Good on Amy and Ed.

Not to seem too hopeful, but this suggests that Putin's regime is not feeling too secure these days.

It’s hard to blame woke DEI when the military is losing a war because of the straits.

Harrison Ford Admits to Listening to His Own Movie Soundtracks During Sex bit.ly/4cKtrCe

It is an interesting question of whether or not Pete Hegseth is specifically endorsing a policy of 'no quarter' to make war crimes the official operational policy of the US military or if he's just saying it because he thinks it sounds cool and is unaware of the legal connotations because he's dumb.

the most thoroughly vindicated man in hollywood. trade disputes and conspiracies ✔️ republic subverted over sex hangups ✔️ “sand people” killed, royalty indifferent ✔️ naive idiot casts vote for tyranny ✔️ villains with silly names like “dooku” ✔️ powerful clerical order screwing up ✔️ list goes on

I swear to god, if you're a new restaurant and you don't have your menu easily accessible on your website or Instagram/Facebook/whatever, close down immediately. I'm so tired of places that I have to go on UberEats to find what the hell they are selling, but they have fifty pics of cocktails linked.

For years after I was finally making good money and didn't have to worry as much, I would still tally every item while grocery shopping in my head and would be within a dollar of the final amount after tax.

It's rare when you can point to exactly the indicator when a civilization has officially failed.

Amazing to have a PhD and somehow miss the last 300 or so years of history. This is not to say we need to be mindless cheerleaders of every new idea that corporations of Silicon Valley roll out, but geez, get some perspective before you start drafting Walden II.

Happy Friday. Don’t skip school.

Shameless isn't even close to describing this shit.

I've always said no one hates Americans as much as Americans but it is nice to see polling back that up. There's way too much money and influence involved in dividing Americans in their regular media and social media to see that change. They want you to need to be armed to step outside your house.

The use of WAR for politicians needs to be ended immediately. It's already been stretched, mangled and mis-applied to baseball players by casual adopters. Seeing it turned into a bad joke by pundits is even worse. Also, if you're going to apply it, you need to define if it is bWAR or fWAR.

Because I was asked, the best outcome of the Texas Senate Primary for the Democrats is not the nominee (both are good candidates) but the fact that Paxton and Cornyn are going to a run off and it is unsure how the 13% of Hunt voters will split. Paxton would be by far the likelier candidate to beat.

So now that the Texas primary is over (for the Democrats) it is worth noting a couple of takeaways from that race. First and foremost, it wasn't particularly close. The fuck around with polling stations in Dallas cost Crockett some votes, but that was offset with 'ratfucking' votes in deep red areas

Wow. It can get worse.

Trump's attack on the ME has bailed Smith out of a budget crisis in Alberta. The jump in oil costs might allow her to narrow the deficit in significant ways which might empower the separatist movement there. It's amazing the stupidest and worst actions empower the stupidest and worst people.

A good thread on how Alberta Quislings are both treasonous and morons.

Oh yeah now we're talking

Definitely not for me. I was in my late thirties before I finally got to the point I could just stop reading a book I wasn't enjoying. While I also tend to have 3-4 books on the go at any given time and rarely related to each other, I know I'm going to finish them all under most circumstances.

Classic El Paso box hard shell tacos.

I'm stunned the guy who played the asshole in 'Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death'.

"TAKE THE UNIVERSE AND GRIND IT DOWN TO THE FINEST POWDER AND SIEVE IT THROUGH THE FINEST SIEVE AND THEN SHOW ME ONE ATOM OF JUSTICE, ONE MOLECULE OF MERCY. AND YET YOU ACT AS IF THERE IS SOME IDEAL ORDER IN THE WORLD, AS IF THERE IS SOME... SOME RIGHTNESS IN THE UNIVERSE BY WHICH IT MAY BE JUDGED.

Oh good, we need a Green Book for trans people now. What a disgrace...

I guess deciding early on to die alone is a valid lifestyle choice.

(1/11) If you live in NY, you’ve probably started seeing a new warning: “THIS PRICE WAS SET BY AN ALGORITHM USING YOUR PERSONAL DATA.” This mandatory disclosure went into effect late last year, and it’s the first attempt by a US state to grapple with a new generation of surveillance pricing.
