I do appreciate how each new Mr Beast thing becomes more dreamlike, as if it’s a profane parable whispered into your subconscious by a demon

man I love avocados but I really wish they weren't so hard to cut

I love this excerpt from jim downey on the scourge of "breaking" on SNL

Rare footage of St Paul’s Cathedral testing its giant flamethrower

If you think beef prices are high now, wait until this gets to the US

While ReBoot isn't lost media by any means, the extent to which this restoration project has been going is simply INCREDIBLE. They got the D-1 master tapes. Then the hardware to read them. Then service manuals to repair/maintain. THEN, CRITICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS. And now they're ERROR CORRECTING.

I like video games because they allow me to act out my wildest power fantasies

Global warming broke time keeping? 😬

"Clout?" My partner in posts, we are on bluesky

look for the helpers, they are distracted and easy prey

how to handle the what now

When you have to name 9 swords before content lock

absolutely phenomenal. yupppp that's what i was scoping in on! that's what i wanted to shoot at!

Reposting with alt text because I felt it too important no to share

Important thread from a former NYT staffer breaking down how the paper's genocidal anti-trans crusade is directed, top down, from the highest levels of the organization. Stop putting bullets in the gun that's killing us. Boycott the New York Times.

There's also this. An earnest not-very-skilled beginner posting his work got half the fucking internet engaging in joyful collaborative celebration of his effort. And have you ever read One Punch Man or Mob Psycho 100 - the ORIGINAL comics by ONE?

Just taking photos and putting black boxes over it and calling it Epstein files.

Besides the 1,000 laid off at Target, I'm sorry for any downtown shop or restaurant owners who made business decisions based on this theater that took place *checks notes* six weeks ago

one thing i have found is that some people come to my tiktoks asking me to provide esoteric truths and get frustrated when my answers are much less exciting

Dec. 20, 1925: "Herr Gebhardt, noted automotive engineer of Munich, Germany, is pictured demonstrating his power roller skates, which are propelled by little motors. Gebhardt has made many recent developments in aero motors." (Spokane, Wash., Spokesman-Review)

Not a headline you ever want to see

this is the greatest feeling, when the cord box proves its utility to a family member

you seldom encounter "ME REAPING WHAT I SOW:" so clearly playing out both in the world and in the mind of the person reaping

This one feels like it might make the Trump chapter of a history book

Please…. I’m begging you… if your game has a dialogue choice… and all the answers say the same thing in a different way…. You can just remove the dialogue choice……

Terrifying headline if you don’t realize they are sports teams.

do you want a Year of the Four Emperors? Because making the legions expect a donative and not giving it is how you get a Year of the Four Emperors

There’s a pretty concerted effort to rehabilitate Blow’s image from people who swear by the mantra of separating the art from the artist, but I will tell you a truth that will get lost in this debate: it’s not like Braid was that good

sometimes I see a headline and I'm like "this is a comic book character's origin story"

the main thing about these guys is that they’re all allergic to actual work. they truly believe that they’ll be able to “leverage AI to plunge toilets” or whatever and the second a sewer backs up they’ll be blubbering for a government bailout

This has been a really fun thread but basically every lawyer uses Office365, it's a huge portion of Microsoft's income, and so any linux future meaningfully has to offer alternatives to these specific rentier empires and not just gaming. Gaming is a good start, but LibreOffice does not cut it.

My response to anything over the next two weeks

Let's not forget why the CFPB was created: BECAUSE ALMOST 6 MILLION FAMILIES LOST THEIR HOMES TO FORECLOSURE. The CFPB helped address this person's needs w/r/t foreclosure: bsky.app/profile/mrsw...

Think these anecdotes are anomalous? Well this former bank employee says CFPB complaints were a fast track to customers getting the attention they needed: bsky.app/profile/what...

Don’t never let these old folk try to moralize to you fam y’all have no idea how chaotically horny y’all’s parents were at 9pm on Mondays

I love my two blackout drunk Minnesota sons

I had a fortune cookie fortune in my wallet for years that said "A drunk man's words are a sober man's thoughts." That advice has never steered me wrong.

I will admit I like this take. bsky.app/profile/bkma...

Another of my favorites from the whole run

For much of the Biden admin but especially in 2023-2024, the press/pundit narrative was heavy on economic vibes especially how lousy people felt about prices. Now prices are even higher & that vibe is DRAMATICALLY worse yet news coverage is not nearly as frenzied as it was before…

"We here at Bank of America remember a time when a woman couldn't get a credit card without her husband's approval. Wouldn't that be fun again?"

this liar said he vetoed an ordinance that required humane treatment for large homeless encampments, including toilets, handwashing, trash pickup and fire safety, for the sake of homeless people. Seriously fuck this dude and yall who voted for him yall deserve the same scorn
