Overheard at the physician’s lounge re: a new Tesla “I mean it works about 80% of the time. It’s almost killed me a couple times, you have to watch it”

SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL IS GOING TO HAPPEN

See, when I first opened these pictures I thought the problem was just that the outside needed a cleanup. Then I saw the first inside photo, #7, and thought it was that the floor was unfinished. Then, I saw the rest of the photos...

Motherfucker I'm a minor science author with just a few articles to my name, and *I'm* in this database. If I'm in there, literally anyone who's ever published anything at all must be.

None of us are free until all of us are free. I believe this deeply. Civil rights for trans people, other LGBTQ+ people, black people, women, etc etc etc. None of us are free until all of us are free, and we must work for all of us to be free.

i've been replaying a little bit of baldur's gate 3 and it's crazy how good this game is. imagine how great it could be if they had used an actually good ruleset, like 4th edition

“I don’t want my kid to be a shithead as an adult” is basically the single most important goal I have as a parent whatever else they do is fine, as long as they’re decent people

Let me state for my descendants: if you use AI to write my eulogy I *will* fucking haunt you

hey man come on don’t be a shut in everybody’s doing it you don’t have to worry about it because we’re not gonna get caught it’s real quick and easy man just come cutting for stone with us it’s eeeeasy money

no reason not to primary chuck schumer now

Man it feels good to see some good election news for once. I almost forgot this feeling

Bro, you gotta block that guy, not because he sucks, but because he’s only here to get you to say stuff to him that will get you in legal trouble.

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

Don’t try to kill yourself with acetaminophen (Tylenol). It might work but will take days and you will either die horribly or regret it and get lucky enough to have a major liver transplant surgery. Likewise, don’t use acetaminophen when drinking alcohol. The alcohol makes the toxicity worse.

As another Trump-induced market crisis unfolds from tariffs, it's time we ask "What's the Matter with Billionaires?" I've run the numbers. Billionaires do better under Dems. So why do billionaires keep supporting GOP policies against their economic interests? See my latest piece on why. (TLDR 🧵⬇️)

Hi Senator. Thanks for joining Bluesky. Can you use this space to explain why you're pushing a bill to remove Section 230, which would make it close to impossible for Bluesky to exist? www.techdirt.com/2025/02/21/w...

I think the reason that ‘civic duty socialism’, or ‘socialism with small c conservative characteristics’ is having a moment in left of center circles is that the long hangover of the 60s, where the assumption was that the median citizen would be a square too trusting, too patriotic, is finally over.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

@helldude.bsky.social now even the computers have a rachel dolezal thing going for them

My mom was a union organizer for 25 years. I walked picket lines of wildcat strikes with her. We used to run bake sales and trivia nights to support striking workers. You wouldn't survive 3 seconds in her vagina. It would shrivel up what's left of your balls. I miss her terribly.

Mathematically, your friends are, on average, likely to be more popular than you. This makes sense if you imagine friend groups forming around hubs of popular people. You’re more likely to be a spoke than the center of the wheel. Anyway apparently some people can’t handle not being the center

I'm putting together an open letter on the Singal situation and his repeated deliberate violations of Bluesky Community Guidelines. Please DM me if you're interested in signing or contributing.

it is not lost on me that after nearly two years of bluesky's existence with the majority of that being an extremely trans positive space that the transphobic journalists are all clamoring to paper over that history. this does NOT need to be twitter 2. social media CAN be good if we make it good.

Very similar to what I say about getting called for GI bleeding overnight: 1) Patient stable? Will scope in the morning. 2) Patient unstable? Take some time to stabilize the patient, will scope in the morning. *Doesn’t apply to variceal bleeds and food boluses/sharp objects

Fellow Libs, it my my great pleasure to inform you that The Onion has bought Alex Jones’ Infowars in a court mandated auction. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

it is your patriotic duty to block chuds and shitpost with abandon here and I'm actually kind of serious about that

At what point does it become blackface? It’s gotta be close, right?

Checked today, my mail ballot and my wife’s ballot were accepted at the board of elections. Chalk up another 2 to Harris in Ohio (presumably 2, I think I can count on my wife’s vote)

The FUCKING GALL of these papers engineering a crisis where Biden must drop out because Trump is too much of a threat for Dems not to address his age and then sit out on their one meager responsibility.

They should be made to read Hegel. A little bit for the master slave dialectic but mostly as punishment

okay hold on can someone tell me how many is a Brazilian?

“Cops and robbers confronted each other on Monday during a visit to the bank.”

Oh hey today is a good day for once. Frankly I’m shocked that Harris has basically only made good choices so far since running

the goofiest tendency online is the one that thinks its cringe and dumb to care about the future

The thing that's obvious to everyone and that nobody can actually write in the press is that the American (and yes, I'm sure elsewhere too) right wing is led by bad people and the object is to make more people extremely bad in basically every respect. It's anti-society

for clarity, i'm deleting the Flynn-VP posts because it's a hoax. Swolecialism Posting Services, LLC, dba Swolecialism Industries, apologizes for the error.

@swolecialism.bsky.social i have a job for you

a bit old but i thought that this was a useful intervention and one that gets very close to my view of the relationship between race and capitalism www.societyandspace.org/articles/une...

look at the bright side: what frees us of donald trump, in the end, may be the common citizens of the country. that's kinda beautiful, in its own goofy democratic way

This reminds me of my favorite doctor joke. An oncologist spends all night thinking about the *perfect* chemo regimen for his (because doctors are always he and nurses always she and that’s not sexist at all) patient. In the morning, excited, he runs to the hospital ward… 1/
