happy easter

Incredible

It's a commonly held misconception that the far side of the moon is "dark." In reality, it's just called that as a result of a failed sponsorship tie in with Universal Pictures' "dark universe" in 2017.

Portes is right. I have definitely come to see the value in political education, because "emotionally cathartic slopulism" has already taken over the Right and I think it could easily do so on the left too if we don't hold the line on, like, actually insisting that it matters you get things right.

As the Tour of Flanders is on Easter this year they should replace the cobbles with Easter eggs, and then instead of finishing the race covered in mud like they often do in Roubaix they'd finish the race covered in chocolate

My son is so disappointed by my lack of egg hiding imagination that he's now gone around to hide the eggs himself...

side-eyeing the other meek bitches because i suspect they're inheriting bigger and better bits of the earth than i am

Hard for me to knock this style of art criticism when my awesome tune "Party All Night" scores a solid 15/15 is.gd/WAvUw3

the Artemis II crew just posted a new photo. what the fuck

they did this for decades, on multiple continents, even after public health concerns were raised.

Going to start claiming all my language peeves are AI tells

Guy who refuses to call it plumbing unless it’s made out of lead

I just remembered this tweet, and I didn't post one when everyone was posting funny tweets

guys, bluesky is dying. if we don't start getting more likes, a greedy developer will bulldoze the site to put up a parking garage. the only thing that can save it is for a ragtag crew of misfits to put on one last big concert at the community center.

what next? what, are we gonna provide *roads* for the wealthy too? gonna have health inspectors keep contaminants out of their groceries? are we just gonna have gutters and sewer systems around rich people's homes?

My daughter asked me, "Where does poo come from?" I was a little uncomfortable but gave her an honest explanation. She looked totally shocked, stared at me in stunned silence for a few seconds then said... "And Tigger?"

I imagine it's more along the lines of "That is such as remarkably stupid plan that will get thousands of soldiers killed"

Remco doing the Tour of Flanders! Will he win? I think he might! #RBH www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxsU...

i still keep this on my phone

"[The war] thatd be terrible for all Pakistanis, Indians and fans of mr Bean" is my load bearing tweet

i will also cheat with a tumblr one because this one lives in my head rent free

My favorite

i don’t mind seeing everyone’s selections for this prompt but the fact that the examples are a tweet i emphatically do not find funny and a tweet i don’t really remember respectively are sort of galling to me. and anyway the best tweet is this one

This is up there without question

sin dudarlo

This post from the early weeks of Lockdown is unlikely to be bettered.

A favorite that I haven’t seen in this (fantastic) thread yet…

The New Yorker has digitized all their back issues, which is great, but I am dying from the thoroughly cringe AI summaries they've put on my articles

Tapping the sign

support to Sophie-Grace, it's awful to get thrust into the spotlight because some shitty bigot decides to use you as a stalking horse for his attempt to leverage his bigotry against you to become a martyr

I suppose this is true, but I don't think we should treat it as a fait accompli that Republican primary voters will want this in their other presidents. It's a broad church and when their beloved leader has left the stage this may be one of his doctrines that gets renounced

it’s without a doubt this heater from @kendrawcandraw.bsky.social

I don't in think I'm unusual among British people in that I could only name one current NFL player, *possibly* two, and they're the one going out with Taylor Swift and the one who is quaintly named Beckham. Not sure Americans realize this

Is "don't jail your political opponents"/"politicians are not above the law" a too many cooks/many hands kind of situation

One thing Trump has successfully done is cowed a lot of people into thinking they can't call for meaningful accountability for him and his cronies because it would be "revenge" or "political" and therefore illegitimate. Absolutely essential to reject that

Feel like I was first informed of this in a book I read about a decade ago

I don't agree with what the people in the screenshots are saying but some academics do come dangerously close to taking this attitude towards footnotes

this is the platonic ideal of a baseball food, the ballpark is the absolute best place in the world for nonsense gimmicks like this you're there to hang out in the sunshine with your buddies and watch dudes hit ball far, why not have a nacho hat while you're at it

Groomsman tastefully informs me that my vows are not the best place to practice my tight five

splashy hire by ghovjnjv: they've hired ghovjnjv as Mr. will be interesting to see how this affects the rankings

I expect if I learned them all it'd improve my performance at that colour-remembering game that's going round
