Just as horrifying: I polled my students a couple years ago and almost all of them admitted to watching the movies I assigned them at 2x the speed!

I can’t. I’m illiterate.

He died in a pirate raid. Pirates, could happen to anyone.

Me buying a copy of The Onion when I was 18: "let's see what those rascals are up to now." Me subscribing to The Onion now: "It is my duty as a patriot to see what those rascals are up to now."

One of my beliefs is that during a holiday week email shouldn't work at all for anyone

No, but The Lion in Winter is and it’s also doomed Yaoi so automatically better.

Lord I see what you’ve done for others…

Are you someone who claims to be a “trans ally”? Cool! Here’s your new test to see if you actually are a trans ally for real or just for “social media clout.” Stop playing Fortnite.

I found it so funny that he claims "pay a living wage" is emotional to dismiss all the data and reputable research and writing that went into this concept of a "living wage"

I thought the entire deal was you were supposed to be dumb enough to invite him in!!

Literal (unused) Disney villain shit youtu.be/wbIoa4zA9Vg?...

My productivity be like

Isaac Chotiner staring at a list of names right now.

Man, Frank Sinatra got AROUND!

In the grand scheme of things, this meeting was Tremendous Content, and like most Tremendous Content, it's Coke Zero politics. Mamdani comes out way ahead, Trump made a fool of his viziers and his strongest soldiers, and none of this will matter next week.

Specifically Trump is an Andrew Lloyd Webber musical guy. Not Sondheim.

For the first time in history, the president of the United States will be a Marxist. (For 20 minutes or until another person talks to Trump, whichever comes first. Then a return to the regularly scheduled horrors)

Somebody should do something about all of the problems. Has anyone ever thought of that?

If I asked nicely do you think they’d put that U2 album back on my phone?

Would hate to have to work with Wa-Luigi Coates on a group project

"I code so others can dream." Gayming Icon and LGBTQ+ video game pioneer, Rebecca Heineman, has sadly passed away after a short, tough fight with aggressive cancer. Read our obituary to this true industry trailblazer: gaymingmag.com/2025/11/gaym...

I for one will not be taking part in the ritual sacrifice of the Omelas child.

Hi, mom? I think I have a hit post on Bluesky. … No I don’t know know when I’ll be featured in an op-ed

I never know what to make of what breaks through to normal people, but every other reel I see on Instagram is about the Bubba Bj. You cannot institute the burger reich when everyone is making jokes about how you’re the THROATUS. I do not regret to inform you we are going to win.

“I vant to be alone” I scream into a megaphone at the press conference I called about the book I wrote detailing my lurid affair with Lurch’s unattractive brother.

People should be allowed to have a THC seltzer if they want to

Jones and Boebert realizing they’ve been at the eyes wide shut party for years and NOW just realizing what the masks are for.

Stagflation. It’s a wonderful term, some call it old fashioned, but I like it. Prices may rise but you won’t have to worry about that because you’ll be unemployed, it’s a pretty great solution. STAGFLATION folks, get ready to hear about it A LOT.

sitting in the lotus position, hovering 3 feet above the ground, eyes rolled back in my head, an electric thrumming fills the room: the pee tape is real

it's not that i ever doubted that being a barista was a skilled position, but my year-long effort to try to produce a half-decent latte at home has convinced me that a good barista is easily more skilled than virtually every c-suite executive on the planet

I can’t find my brave standing guy pic, but anyway, I quite like Hades 2! I am having quite a bit of fun bonking shit with my big axe and jet pack and skull. Staff and knives are… okay. Queen Hera I would do anything for you, your step son can suck a dick!

So glad you can sleep easy and walk by those same people who you put through incredible pain for absolutely nothing, the promise of a meaningless vote. And I’m sure people will shut up about it now that you’ve made some big wins last night. If he wants to sleep so bad, he should quit.

He can’t call on Schumer to be replaced because it makes his position as house minority leader vulnerable. He cares more about being a quisling speaker than actually leading. They both gotta go.

Yeah if you listen to the whole thing it’s still mealy mouthed milquetoast BS about the “difficult situation” dem leadership is in. If chuck can’t do the job (he can’t) he shouldn’t be leader!

@rebeccasolnit.bsky.social is documenting the resistance, and it’s an encouraging read. But the message remains: We keep fighting!! #MomSky www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

A Party of Blockheads

just learning about the united states democratic party

Three questions: 1. Is who politicians follow online newsworthy? 2. Is the vice-president more important than a primary candidate to be junior Senator from Texas? 3. If the answer is yes to the first two, why isn’t Axios doing a fuck ton of stories about who JD Vance is following?

Are they ever gunna learn?

🙏

Art points to the government table and says "these defendants should be ashamed of themselves. "It's a disgrace. And one of the great things about our Constitution, is that if that's what we think, we can say it."

When people say this they say it like it’s some natural law of the universe and never explain WHY we need a “strong pro-democracy Conservative Party” which has never existed in US politics Conservative policy is bad! And hurts people! This has been the case for the last 50 yrs (maybe forever?)

Damn not even gunna let us eat cake, huh?
