I’m alive

In case I forget to tell you guys happy thanksgiving, here’s a reminder to not open your damn doors for just anybody.

The Sega CD version of Eye of the Beholder is perfectly playable but does inexplicably have an all-timer soundtrack by Yuzo Koshiro that sounds like he is using music to separate himself from his humanity after his partner drowned mysteriously

Remember 25 years ago when a photo was taken of a fed pointing a gun at a crying refugee child and the image was so shameful it dominated the news cycle for a year

Joyce Carol Oates should say he can't do backflips off the roof next

i’m ready for something different than whatever the fuck this is

"i asked grok" "i asked chatgpt" yeah well i asked carl sagan and he said the greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance but the illusion of knowledge 🧪

Birthday card for mom

every victory speech is like “to those that did not vote for me just know i will work with you” nah dawg, we are running lib shit like it’s the four verts offense. gays everywhere. trans folks on every high school field hockey team. get on board or get smoked 42-0 at halftime.

I'm going to need you to be the actual current monarch of the couch and be sofa king for real right now

Low-key Halloween with the fam and only some antics

Please turn off your #Ring cameras so that kids/families just trying to participate in #Halloween don't get caught up by ICE. Ring has partnered with them, so we know how this is going to turn out. Also, please consider removing Ring entirely or AT LEAST turn on the e2e encryption. RING=ICE

Remember, the less scary your costume, the more scary it is with no pants!

“some people abuse SNAP” your soul is rotten

I think any story about Trump's autocracy should be mostly about the people and institutions who failed to stop it. This guy isn't a political genius, everything else just happens to be rotten. 'Toddler Consolidates Power In Household' is a story about incompetent parents, not shrewd maneuvering

43 years ago today, readers the world over opened their newspapers and gazed upon cow tools for the first time. happy birthday cow tools. you look great.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

It’s getting increasingly harder to convince anti-vaxxers bc it is no longer about science & evidence. It is about identify & belonging. It’s not just accepting a vaccine, it’s about leaving behind their sense of self & community. It’s about security. This is why throwing data will never work.

guess I'll just need to reiterate this one www.everythingishorrible.net/p/unity-with...

"subtext is an anagram for butt sex" -ancient fanfic writer's motto/my credo

Putting a Democrat with a Nazi tattoo in the Senate normalizes Naziism in our federal politics for a long ass time. All these recent stories about secret Nazi group chats? Anytime that happens going forward will be met with "But Platner." It's not a purity test. Think through the consequences.

Who is in favour of bringing Roman numerals back into use? I for one…

the aws outage should be evidence that running half the internet on a single company's servers is a terrible idea but i fear nothing will change

this rocks. when indiana edu killed the student newspaper, Purdue stepped up, printed the forbidden issue, drove it to Bloomington and stocked the boxes.

you don't understand. as someone who isn't inherently good at art, stealing paintings from the museum is the *only* way i'm able to express myself creatively. i wouldn't be able to paint beautiful portraits. but by breaking into a museum and stealing the paintings, now i am

Kids today don't understand what it's like to be traumatized by very elaborate puppets.

19th Century problems have 20th Century solutions. If you were alive in the 20th Century, you know this is an incredibly ominous statement.

you fucked around and now the Episcopalians are doing memes. are you happy now. are you

Do you know how dogs first came into existence? They were wolves once

Full back tattoo but it’s just this

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

The Sherlock Memorial Clinic for the Treatment of Constipation and Irregularity has evaluated this information as: OBVIOUS

Some stained glass stuff my mom made

“Their rabbit put our sifu in the hospital and kicked down our school’s sign! It’s just too big!” (Camera pans to the door, where the estranged star pupil has returned with a very large basket of alfalfa) “We shall see about that…”

So do all those journalists and professors get their jobs back too or is it just the millionaire comedian whose cancellation ate into Disney's profits?

Indiana was supposed to be called “Nidaino.” But they messed up the sign and we all just had to live with it, because that’s how it is here.

One more reason women should not marry Republicans. They'll confiscate your Tylenol.

I have taken the Tylenol that was in the medicine cabinet and which they think probably is the reason you like trains forgive me but that’s bullshit you got autism from your dad

can we get colbert back instead

Seeing people who are just not wired for anything but rage and schadenfreude try to figure out the performance of grief is genuinely anthropologically fascinating

Here’s what a Ball State University employee said that led to their termination:

The times are incredibly precedented, it’s just that they have typically preceded even worse times

SIX people who helped organize the Ferguson protests were all murdered or died under mysterious circumstances Do not let the white folks fool you into putting your name on ANYTHING ahead of ANY protest www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

The broader project is pretty obviously fash, but from one moment to the next the model is clearly running the whole country like an unusually insane HOA.

"To a supremacist society, most of us are acceptable losses. Charlie Kirk is not. To a supremacist society, guns are allowed to kill most of us, and the pundits can debate later how sad our deaths were. But guns were not supposed to kill Charlie Kirk." www.the-reframe.com/acceptable-l...
