The cultural obsession with follow-policing on this website is one of the top 3 most embarrassing behaviors regularly engaged in by a subset of the user base.

Twice the size of a jar

I say this as someone who has almost certainly watched more television than you and the Peacemaker Season 2 intro is probably the best show intro of all time.

Straight up French street protest vibes (laudatory)

So my favorite band of all time, Rush, is going on tour next year. Their drummer and principal lyricist Neil Peart is dead. Rush have asked a woman to play the drums in that tour. As you can imagine, the ridiculously toxic Rush fandom is having a totally normal reaction to this one.

this seems like a very desperate move from the Admin to me

Trump is going to radicalize me into having Portland Pride.

Asking ChatGPt “how to short AI”

I spend probably an unhealthy amount of time wondering which of my co-workers are secretly unhinged swinger sex freaks. Going home to dog-walk their puppy play husbands or get themselves immobilized in a latex cube. It’s not none of them.

Every day I commute through the heart of the Portland War Zone. Real mad max hours. I need a new arc welder to re-attach the cow catcher I had to put on my 2017 Nissan Rogue AWD in order to to clear the debris and bodies that litter the highways.

it is useful not to lose sight of how, underneath everything else, hollow all of this noise is. portland and chicago are warzones, so i am dispatching a couple hundred best buy assistant managers there to quell the insurrections. potemkin stuff, paper thin

my fundamental problem with this time is: im as cynical as the next guy but i really do not want to live in a world where nothing matters and nothing is real. i like to stand on the earth sometimes and feel it solidly beneath me. call me old fashioned. when im sick i want a doctor not joe rogan

“Gardening is Racist: The Punnet Square to Eugenics Pipeline.” In this paper I will

Can’t stop thinking about last night’s Peacemaker. It was so good.

I will never get used to the fact that most people online now seem to know Nathan Fillion as Officer Nolan from that Rookie copaganda show.

We’re going to break up Livenation, we’re going to put price controls on beers at sporting events and concerts. We’re going to get back to having a good ass time together.

I need as many people as possible to see this so far all 3 of you who regularly see my posts please enjoy this incredible song youtube.com/shorts/PqIKn...

“I’m resigning from my position as Democratic leader and retiring from the Senate.”

This is a view of the military that is derived entirely from watching the worst TV schlock. Not even Taylor Sheridan gets it this wrong.

Take this with a grain of salt because I am merely an extremely successful career manager, but I don’t think “your ships are ugly and your generals are too fat“ is good leadership.

I think about the tiny OSHA guy inside of me at least once a day, but today he's basically all I can think about.

Lotta good replies to this but a few I haven’t seen yet: Fez Trine Portal 1 and 2 Braid And I’ll stan No Man’s Sky until I die.

Good 🧵, I’m on the same page as Coates in this and sympathetic to Klein for feeling lost, though I think he’s going about it the wrong way by whitewashing Kirk and seeking understanding through the Douthats of the world. There is no clear path forward, that’s disturbing, but we need to face it! 1/x

“Years of Lead Paint” to describe our current era has the double benefit of being both a funny joke and exactly right. This shit is so dumb.

My son explaining to me the every detail of every minute of the 20 minute YouTube video he just watched on a niche DC superhero team:

I think about that little guy in OSHA approved hi-vis gear who lives in my brain and pulls all the levers a lot.

I’m gonna be real pissed when I wake up tomorrow and find myself raptured up with all the fucking nerds

Can ABC blackout NFL and College Football broadcasts on al Sinclair affiliates?

Luigi getting even more yoked while in prison is quite the flex.

The FBI is preparing to label transgender people as “violent extremists” in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/fbi-readie...

That vanishingly rare feeling of being proud to be an American.

A privilege to be alive at the same time this man is playing baseball.

Did Uncle Ruckus write and record this ad?

Is there a way for me to engage with the full BlueSky user base with none of BlueSky’s moderation?

Thank you so much for reminding me of this song. AND I, I CAN’T RESIST TRYING TO FIND EXACTLY WHAT I MISSED

RIP king

Oh lord, oh lord keep on keepin’ on

Update: Civil War cancelled due to shooter being demographically uncooperative

its funny to be ruled by internet-brained idiots like this, when anyone with a passing familiarity of this internet political moment knew instinctively this was going to be an incoherent brain rotted gamer white boy who sees politics and violence as entertainment

Hey @iwriteok.bsky.social is it “Stitches get snitches?” Is that anything?

The amount of harm Kirk did to our politics in such a short time is something we’re going to be grappling with for years to come. It will take years to repair the damage. Just because he shouldn’t have been shot doesn’t mean we need hagiographic rewrites of his nasty, brutish career.

West Wing character levels of vainglorious self-delusion on display here.

So I’ve decided to put my marker on “the sino loa cartel killed Charlie Kirk”

I bet John Popper eats pussy so good

The truth of the matter is that if anyone but Charlie Kirk had been killed at today’s shooting, then Charlie Kirk would be out there right now using the shooting as pretext to deliver arguments designed to make sure that the next shooting would happen, and the next one, and the next, and the next.

Has Jezebel made a statement yet about their role in getting Charlie Kirk killed?

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

if that news is true, don't say anything you wouldn't want to see screenshotted and spread all over right wing media
