I think the news is a bit too rancid for my mental health atm -- gonna take a break! (Maybe this will last for one hour or the rest of the month? But I'm going to keep updating at my Substack regardless: dirtbagchristian.substack.com)

you did not see this kitty pull a glizzy heist good morning

Today is a holiday for anyone who has ever said “why isn’t there a white history month”

I don't mind if you're a sex weirdo. People think I'm a sex weirdo. (And maybe I am.) But thou who desires freedom of speech and expression and a lack of censorship for those realms should allow it also for the return of gentle feedback, so sayeth the Lord.

been getting obsessed with early English monarchs and their many scandals

Scott Adams announcing his upcoming conversion to Christianity and mentioning Pascal's wager but nothing about forgiveness, or love, or changing anything is kind of emblematic of the last decade of high-profile "conversions".

my most cynical answer as somebody who has been in media is that it’s not good for the algorithm

Just discovered the subreddit r/accidentalrockwell and it is delightful

Post a famous bathroom scene

We need a Gangnam Style for the left

Me watching PSL and DSA fighting all day

I’ll be singing O Canada by tomorrow

When I rewatched When Harry Met Sally on NYE, I was reminded of the scene where they sing “Surrey with the Fringe on the Top.” And I thought man, I wish they had regular Broadway karaoke nights. Yes, I know most karaoke machines have Broadway offerings. But I want ONLY musical songs available

You don’t have to want kids or even enjoy being around them. But it’s also worth unpacking why kids simply existing, learning, or having unmet needs reads as “annoying,” “unlikeable,” or “bad behavior.” This collective discomfort with noise, need, & vulnerability is why many ADULTS are struggling.

*guys who won’t do anything other than concerned tweeting toward a president doing gestapo kidnappings* “Speaking out against an illegal war move that a majority of Americans don’t approve of is nothing but weakness”

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to jump out of a helicopter to kidnap a head of state and his wife so some oil ceos can make a lot of money. we’ll be watching from a resort in florida that still serves wedge salad and checking how many retweets we get. good luck soldier

The other people in Stranger Things trying to help Dipshit Derek not die to a demigorgon is exactly like leftists trying to help MAGA people not die due to their own shitty votes and beliefs

Will Stencil wrong again. American interventionism since the end of WW2 has been a rolling set of disasters, enacted upon sovereign nations with bipartisan support, causing the death and displacement of tens of millions of people. They just didn't do the key jingling part for pundits this time.

It is worse than that: many Americans do not believe they should suffer for politics to occur. So when the shutdowns started causing pain, this pain was sufficient excuse to abandon politics. We are fighting against fascists who weaponize pain as a party that will avoid pain at all costs.

that’s more like it. no mention of “he is bad but”

The news is horrendous. Time to unwind by taking my teenager to go see a nice, chill movie like Marty Supreme. Those Safdie Brothers sure know how to make relaxing movies

My Democratic senators are on TV feigning shock that the Trump nominees they unequivocally voted for are doing horrible things

"Maduro is a brutal authoritarian dictator," I wisely intone, as the corrupt demented paedophile US President violating Constitutional Law while operating a gestapo and concentration camps illegally arrests a foreign leader on charges which read like they were written on a paper placemat in crayon.

The position of the US is that it can kidnap the president of a foreign country and try him in a US court for alleged crimes which were not carried out under US jurisdiction but the US president cannot be tried in a US court for alleged crimes which were carried out under US jurisdiction.

beyond parody, beyond redemption. The Democrats are complacent and complicit at once

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

Venezuela’s home ownership rate is 15% higher than the United States. Their literacy rate is 20% higher. Healthcare is free. Education is free. All while managing a decade of economic warfare by the US. Trump and his government will do all that it takes to crush embryos of socialism everywhere.

imagining Laura Loomer going to an Alabama football game and thinking all the women in the audience are Hamas

my teenager said that talking about newgrounds and flash animation is the same as talking about how many miles I walked uphill in the snow as a kid and that we are all sooooooo old

the go-to explanations ("we're not perfect people, but we serve a perfect God." "we're all just sinners in need of forgiveness") sound nice until you remember that we're not asking Christians to be perfect, just to maybe display an average amount of baseline human empathy. It's not going great.

I don't think "Don't talk about newsworthy things, don't give negative things attention!" works that much, especially when it comes to issues that negatively affect actual people, but there's no reason to keep screenshotting & talking about the Red Scare girls. They are already basically irrelevant!

The median position needs to be "abolish ICE," the vanguard left should be more "burn down the DHS, salt the earth, restore protections & path to full citizenship for EVERYONE who suffered from these pricks' depradations (& is still, you know, around & WANT to be here).

Just under the wire

Mitchell and Webb did it first youtu.be/OQnd5ilKx2Y?...

This is so funny but it reminds me of how the U.S. women’s soccer team mocked the UK team by doing pinky up tea sipping and the Brits got soooo mad lol. Glad to see Italians have more of a sense of humor

Hi I’m Jennifer C. Martin, nice to meet you.

the people making that argument are almost ALWAYS people that work in the AI/LLM tech world. if you ever see a progressive account on here arguing that "data center water usage isn't that much," ask them what they do for work.

"I can deal with the Nazism and CSAM, but I draw the line at being held accountable for my shitty opinions."

The centrist dilemma really seems to be between ”Wow people can be annoying on Bluesky, the website with the best mute and block system in social media” and “I guess Twitter is bad with its nonstop Nazi interaction, fascist promotion, and child sex abuse material, but at least it’s not so TOXIC!”

No cheating. Reskeet with the most recent picture of your pet. (Screenshot of our chicken nightcam, which we installed after May’s fox attack)

AI CEOs: why aren't people more pro-AI?! also AI CEOs: we have invented the automated revenge porn machine

Who is your favorite nepo baby?

“I’m a pro-AI leftist!” I know ”leftist” barely means anything anymore but I guess “confused libertarian” and “fucking poser“ can be added to the definition

I bet $630 boots, if I could afford them, would last for years and years longer than my $40 boots that fall apart as soon as they come into contact with moisture or friction
