What I picture when i hear some Brits talking about Burnham in UK politics

Introducing Ta-Nehisi Quotes, a daily calendar.......

Immaculate timing here, Bluesky, with @moviessilently.bsky.social and Eric Ravenscraft

I apologize to all white middle aged silvering foxes who trim their beard and style their hair just so. It will take me a moment to squint to let my face blindness figure out if you are the daily wire jeremy boring guy or just another random dude. Believe me, nobody is happy about this

I need the guess who juat got yeeeeeeelled aaaaaat comic but with keir starmers face badly MS Paint pasted in

the reflexive hippy punching is alive and well in uk politics, I see. Couldnt be that keir starmer was a disastrous leader of Labour. Nope. We doing badly? Punch Left!

The recurring theme of The West Wing, the liberal fantasy President, hammered home again and again across every season: "God why are we so ineffective and compromise all of our values again and again? Let's take a STAND onsomething." *beat* "We just compromised and threw away our Stand again"

Sawsomeone say they should make Fox McCloud be less "voiced by Chris Pratt"-ish *inhale* LISTEN Starfox did not lose his father and have gay sex with Star Wolf in 1997 to put up with this kind of slander. Fox is, if anything, becoming more like his father.

People are frwaking out about Starfox redesigns, and to me they look like mid 2010's space 4X game alien designs? WEAK. Weak, the lot of you.

speaking of webcomics I still think this Hark A Vagrant panel is like. the single funniest image of all time

The Supreme Court is trying to *fast track* the elimination of Black Congresspeople in the upcoming midterms. Its destruction of the Voting Rights Act has devolved into a pure political power play for Republicans BY the Republicans on the Court. I explain in @thenation.com

what did Terry Pratchett mean by this

While the world’s eyes are on fashion’s biggest night, we’re turning ours to the garment, retail, and warehouse workers who keep the industry running. From true love found on the picket line to a free tailoring school out of a Brooklyn basement — meet the New Yorkers who make it all possible.

IT’S STAR WARS DAY SO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS

you cannot be a healthy person with mental stability on this site unless, at least on some level, you actively resent and resist "engagement" purge from your soul the craving for number to go up

For some reason i thought i saw a "say hello to the slut" subject from Pizza Hut. Was rather disappointed when it wasnt actually the case

Carls Jr Ad Exec: CLEAR YOUR DESKS! We have our 2027 Superbowl Ad!

So, Bluesky, lets Rap. *Rikers a Chair to sit on it backwards, Cool Youth Pastor style* There has been a lot of talk about boobs and butts and Alf Hog around here Today we need to talk about the most shameful sexual act of all. Holding hands with the person you like. youtu.be/HN42ESr9mcA?...

i've been getting more folks telling me about this and it's not anything i agreed to. it's been stolen like AI steals. please vandalize it if and when you see it.

Yo I heard you wanted to fight. I'm right here, bitch. where you at? Come outside and fight!

I can't explain it, but this feels like fetish art that some artist had to fast talk his way into being the next big marketing push after getting caught drawing it by his boss

"What about my sleep paralysis monster?" ESPECIALLY your sleep paralysis monster

This is your friendly reminder that for basically anything and anyone that horrifies you, there will be a non-zero amount of people that want to fuck it.

I feel like shit. You know what would fix me? Hours of incredibly well-produced Battletech lore videos qith a gravelly and almost impossible deep voice that hates Clanners with a fiery passion. Oh, HAI there! Didnt see you there, Black pants Legion! youtube.com/playlist?lis...

It is gonna be 2076 and the Vine people are still gonna be whining about Goddamn Vine, having devoted 50 fucking years to Grandpa Simpsoning a failed social media app that lasted for 4.

I have another version of this. You are a Millennial if you CANNOT SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT GODDAMN VINE. IT LASTED FOR LIKE TWO YEARS AND WAS ENTIRELY OVERRATED GODDAMMIT! IT HAS BEEN DEAD FOR A DECADE GIVE IT A FUCKING REST Yeah. If you are that person you are a Millennial

So this website is being sold in sex toy stores it is so vibe coded right now. Got it.

Hanne Doofenschmirtz: I started HRT and suddenly I went from being a lonely single dad to a mom with committed partners. If I had a nickel for every girlfriend I had that transitioned after me I would have two nickels. which iant a lot but its weird that it happened twice Background: Two! Ah ah ah!

Hey is Chuck Schumer still alive or did speaking slightly loudly into a microphone saying "We Will Win" a few times and then doing fuckall else kill him from excess exertion?

Quark: "cis people, trans people, energy-based non-carbon life forms......as long as theyve got latinum, I love them all." *beat* *glare at Rom* Quark: the second anybody runs out of latinum you throw them out. You DONT break the 420th Rule of Acquisition: latinum strips are your only friends

The Voting Rights Act was passed to ensure equal representation in our democracy. The SCOTUS decision today guts the prohibition on racial gerrymandering, effectively using the redlining of the past to rob Black folks of equal representation in the future. It’s a devastating blow to democracy.

Full statement on the Supreme Court's ruling in Louisiana v. Callais: "The Roberts Court seeks to achieve what the Confederacy and the Klan could not while wearing robes that are black rather than white."

The Voting Rights Act is essentially dead and it’s quite possible that we will, like when a similar SCOTUS gutted civil rights at the fall of Reconstruction, see a disappearance of much of the Black congressional representation, especially in the most heavily Black states, which are in the South.

In my lifetime: the voting rights act was gutte, civil rights law is actively being dismantled in favor of a religious privilege to discriminate, reproductive rights have been stripped, marriage equality is being relegated to second class status, and checks on corporate power have been undone.

It is so depressing watching everything previous generations fought and died for be dismantled piece by piece. These basic protections and institutions, while imperfect, still pushed in the right direction. We are failing future generations and leaving a worse world behind for them.

Either the supreme court in its current, illegitimate form, is destroyed or the country is.

It's so disheartening watching this court carry out the explicit project of white supremacy so blatantly while gaslighting the public to say it's trying to stop discrimination. They're dismantling every major legacy of the civil rights movement. We need to reform this court.

Mom: “It almost feels like they just killed Martin Luther King all over again, but metaphorically this time. Almost like its a fun little game for them.”

"UGH. Fine. Lets try Pokemon Champions" First impressions thread

So.......suddenly we are amazed at people moving spoons across tables with their brain? *picks up spoon, throws it at you* What is so goddamn impressive about that?

Happy birthday, Dad. Wish you were here. You’d know what to do. Or at least you’d know what to write. ❤️

GNU Terry Pratchett, whose words will echo long after we, and our children, and our children’s children have moved on thank you, as always, for making me a better person (quote from Reaper Man)

fuck it, we ball www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FaZ...

Trans people, STOP and let me ask you something. Just......hear me out. Do you REALLY need to make a post about having shot up T or E today, AGAIN? Do you really think we havent got it at his point? (Yes! Yes you do, you bitch, bastard, and/or blackguard! Post like hell! I am super proud of you!)

Bad guy named "E-Villlain": "I will code an E-Villainous bot to like and then instantly unlike one of the hero's posts at random every 30 seconds across my bot network. Notifications pop up and whem he clicks to see what it is, there will be nothing there! And it will happen CONSTANTLY!"

Public discourse around trans people seems genuinely insane if you know enough trans people. Despite all the Ideology Stealing Our Kids narrative what I overwhelmingly have experienced is, basically, sad nerds who become somewhat happier nerds once they decide to transition. it just seems fine 🤷

Why Was I Invited To An Island Off The Coast of Costa Rica By A Genetics Company? (With apologies to Dan Olson)

So this thimbnail is good and all, but it woulda been funnier with Huntrix scoony doo-ing around a corner like that from directly behind the Bluey family
