See, I like this, ‘cause I thought I’d wasted my life, but…perspective, y’know?

My favorite Sam Neil fact will always be that he designed a future Australian flag that replaces the union jack with the aboriginal flag for Event Horizon and insisted the film use it.

Oh fuck you, Death. Just when I started thinking you were cool.

Don’t let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya, Cajun Skeletor.

The realest.

Any time the microwave, toaster oven, or whatever beeps to say it’s done: “Willie hears ya. Willie don’ care.”

The mind REELS.

Any chance Binface wins, immediately unmasks to be Farage, and we get an “it was ME, Austin” moment?

We can see this in the ICE flight data. Domestic “round-up” flights are spiking, and some activist flight watchers report the flights are getting fuller. But deportation and removal flights remain steady. This means the concentration camps are getting packed to the brim. It’s awful to comprehend.

We should invent a kind of canceling where the guy goes away

If trans people in San Fran-fucking-cisco can’t march without police harassment, then where the fuck ARE they safe? Completely fucking out-of-control transphobia.

If ICE is targeting courts in order to avoid protesters And courts/sheriffs allow ICE, but not protesters, to be in "public" areas Courts/sheriffs are functionally assisting ICE

Some men will show their entire ass in their zealous effort to be Blue No Matter Who, even at the cost of women’s integrity and autonomy. There’s nothing progressive, leftist, liberal, democratic or kind about it. Just toxic team sports.

this is really well said www.liberalcurrents.com/graham-platn... @liberalcurrents.com

ICE is still kidnapping and killing people.

it's journalism 101 that you should try to talk to people who are personally affected by the story you're covering. it's increasingly clear that the NYT views trans people as exceptions to that rule. their blithe response at the end of this piece... leaves much to be desired.

Hey @chicagotribune.com Editorial Board: Why did you describe me as a “bomb-throwing influencer”? This is wrong, inflammatory, and racist. Change it. www.chicagotribune.com/2026/07/05/e...

Howdy fella's, what's up with your various diaper blow outs?

rules for my bluesky account number one

As Patriot Front inaugurates the beginning of this year's particularly Fascist July 4th w a march in DC, catch up on the latest PF news out of New England (hint: they're struggling). And help ID "Shitstache" & "Blue-footed Ducky". Be a shame if their nazi mugs got spread far & wide today.

I'm at home in Brooklyn with my two very young kids and ConEd has reduced our power because of the heat wave. Our lights don't work and AC is minimal. Also, there's a celebrity wedding in midtown right now and I'm unaware of any reports that they're going without.

Very few good things to say about the United States, but we’ll always have fantastic reactions to our meats.

substack is not a neutral actor

“Performative limp dick-ass ‘protest’ turns out to be eye roll-inducing performative engagement between two Instagram bot-ass pretty people” might be the mascot for 2026.

Oh right! I saw Supergirl this weekend and it was really fun!

Preface: depression is a real motherfucker and I wish it upon no one. But I WISH I could take four months off work to focus on getting through my depression. Without universal healthcare or a universal basic income, that’s just not happening. So he’s gonna push for that, right? …right??? Sigh.

republicans project 2025: what if we proposed a wholesale conservative takeover of literally everything under the sun. all of it. everywhere. democrats project 2029: what if we maybe sort of banned kids from phones?

Everybody fuck off I loved Supergirl.

Crying laughing at this thread. People just asked me what’s wrong with me.

I feel so goddamn bad for everyone across the Atlantic going through this awful heatwave. It’s bad enough here in Chicago, where things were built to suit a much colder climate, and I imagine it’s ten times worse there. Fucking climate change really will be humanity’s doom.

also not lost on me that as democratic socialists are winning some elections, a new red scare targeting anarchists, antifascists, and their allies is digging in hard, and today handed down 30, 50, and 100 year prison sentences to activists and organizers

If Trump stuck two french fries in his nose and said he's going to tell Westeros to invade Narnia, Fox would devote 10 hours a day to the Narnian threat and the New York Times would run articles headlined "President Considers Expanding Conflict Zone; Critics Raise Questions"

It’s time.

Elon Musk is still going and I don’t know what to say. Unhinged racism and unmoored violent fantasies. I would say his site should be blocked, but thanks to Starlink he’s beyond reach (which is point of Starlink). Also note that the original post was 12 hours before he found it and replied.

If sexual abuse was really considered a terrible thing, the world's richest and most powerful people wouldn't be abusers. The most valued technology wouldn't produce sexual abuse on demand. And allegations of abuse wouldn't be framed as positive depictions of masculinity. Our culture rewards abuse.

RE: last repost. What the everlasting fuck?

They want to "inspect" CHILDRENS GENITALS. Trans people in sports at any age group or weight class hurts exactly 0 people, they can't just let children play games tho god fucking forbid. Fucking calling trans people pedos for existing while they gawk at naked little kids. Jesus christ. #TransRights

Haven’t seen this yet, but I will say I’m disappointed that they did away with Skeletor’s Blue Laser voice.

This is something I struggle with. I appreciate that men want models of how to be. But when we try to populate “positive masculinity” with traits — strong, smart, kind — they are all equally available to women. Masculinity and femininity are empty concepts, absent gender hierarchy.

Could not possibly be better.

Periodic reminder that the Bears are worth $8.9 billion and already fully own and control 320 freeway-adjacent acres of land next to a train station. If they want to build a new stadium, there is quite literally nothing stopping them from doing so. Illinois does not need to "act fast".

Finally, someone with the courage to say it.

A story I love about Anthony Stewart Head. Thank you to this person for sharing it on Tumblr. What a mensch.

The penultimate episode of our first season is now out! Have you heard “The Sound of Letting Go” yet?

are you just going to do this for every generation

Spineless jagoffs.

Okay, but for real real.

Hoo boy.
