The lack of the "correct" "Drink from the Firehose" GIF both here and in Giffy on slack make me "GenX mad".

Literally, the one thing the Democrats should do, is start a Youtube channel, and hire ONLY pretty blonde women to say terrible but true things about Trump. It would drive him so crazy, and there is honestly probably a couple hundred hours of content.

I miss "Auto-Tune the News".

"Rock Band" was the best video game experience I've ever had and I'm tired of pretending that it wasn't.

Monetization strategy for Tik-Tok: Allow parents of minors to sign up for "TikTok Premium", that "reduces ads", but also pushes videos made by influencers that push basic common/decency practices to impressionable youth: "Washing your face is CHOPPED!" "Telling your mom you love her is FIRE!"

Let's be clear, Halloween is the best holiday, by a lot, and it isn't even close. * It rewards creativity and expression * It is community and friend focused rather than family (which is to say that EVERY OTHER holiday is family focused) * Its for kids, and involves a lot of candy

Not talking about the logical consequences of our policy decisions and inaction is so cool. Every other Western Democracy would be all in a tizzy, discussing it, and talking about the repercussions, blah, blah,but not us. We're like, starving people are fine because they should feel bad about it.

A reboot of COPS, except it is just them kicking in doors of Gen Xers who haven't had their colonoscopy yet. Cop 1: "We've got a runner!" Cop 2: "They always run."

A thought experiment to highlight the institutional white supremacy we breath every day. Imagine the current First Lady's actions were identical, but she was instead: * Not White * Married to a Democrat And attempt to imagine a mere faction of the breathless wall to wall scandal coverage.

One must imagine <The Billionares Ruining Everything> happy.

My one criticism of #nokings is we needed a catchy chant song about releasing the Epstein files.

I think I've found a great use for AI: generating unique tradable digitial tulips! It is going to be the wildest craze! Based on my initial calculations, it is a nearly 5 quadrillion dollar potential market. Get in on the ground floor now!

I'm continually disappointed that x.com links rarely, if ever, contain any information about the titular tactical alien strategy game.

There is a good chance that nothing on the internet tomorrow will make you as happy as just rewatching the "What Does the Fox Say?" video.

"Desire <to merge with another corporation> is the root of all suffering."

Cancelling Disney Plus to boycott ABC/Disney's actions towards REV105.

I am thinking the risk/reward of engaging with social media is abruptly trending toward "oops all risk" levels.

All this black-pill/Groyper talk has me wondering, did they ever release the motive/contents of the laptop of that Thomas Matthew Crooks kid? Seems weird if they didn't.

Me describing Trump's base: "The cryptobros, the Gooners, the red-pillers, the christo-nationalists, the black-pillers, the Groypers. They think he's a righteous dude"

"Hello Police? Yes, Balatro isn't giving me any diamond cards."

There it is again... youtu.be/ObOqq1knVxs?...

"A <cult of personality> if you can keep it"

So it has been four years since Bo Burnham released Inside, and... And I don't think any film, art or music since has surpassed it. Like, you should legit just go watch it again instead of anything else.

I wish <a freaky friday body switch with a 12 yr old trans kid in the US South> on JK Rowling.

"Childhood" really just means "The time we spend sheltering new humans from the fact that they need to spend their lives running from an unfathomably large monster we created that wants you to die in the street if you ever stop creating value for someone else for too long."

Things that should probably be taught in high school: * Basic Home Technologies: Water, Electricity, Air * Human Organization Basics: How to Run Meetings, Schedule things with 3 or more people, Providing Feedback * Medical Basics

I know there is a lot going on in the world, but I think it is important to not lose focus on the things that really matter, like complaining about how all modern operating system UIs make it slightly inconvenient to open up two different file browser windows so you can easily drag files/folders.

And lo Alexander wept, because his wife told him to stop making "the StudFinder" joke.

There is a scene in the new Superman movie where a woman has to patiently explain to a man the difference between punk and pop punk, that could be word for word a conversation my college girlfriend had with me.

An app to help me keep track of which Mission Impossible movies I've seen.

There should be a religion all about being nice to people, especially neighbors and strangers. Hard to see how that could go wrong.

So maybe "people dying in the streets is actually bad" could be an organizing communication principal for a particular political party?

Types of post "buckets" by social: Twitter/X: * Wildly Inaccurate praise of Trump * Wildly Inaccurate hate for Dems Blusky: * Entirely different wildly inaccurate hate for Dems * Entirely accurate hate for Dems * Slightly inaccurate hate for Trump * Entirely accurate hate for Trump

The fact the billionares with drug problems *and* social media companies are fighting is very weird, funny and also sad.

Not to brag, but I back the political party with the old, out of touch leadership that is largely cringe and ineffective, rather than the party dominated by old, cruel idiots.

Pro-Tip: If you find yourself with reoccurring negative thoughts where you secretly wish that certain people would, say, contract super diarrhea and poop themselves to death, Instead, wish that they have a wacky Freaky-Friday situation where they endure extreme embarrassment and learn empathy.

A whole mood

Imagine being a billionaire and NOT hiring Matt Berry to walk around with you, and be available to tell people to "Get Fucked" on command.

Saw this and thought my oomfs' feeds could use this

Forget AI and Crypto. Wanna start a disruptive tech start up? Figure out a use for the quarter of a billion unwanted wiimotes in my parent's basement.

Sometimes I think about how Ben Affleck played Batman, but if he like, showed up to a make a wish kid who wanted to see Batman, that kid would be disappointed. And how it seems obvious Ben Affleck knows this.

Honestly this is just incredible content.

I am a lot like Andrew Dice Clay, if Andrew Dice Clay's act was mostly about him wishing that his wife would limit the number of her daily workplace stories to the three best ones.

Zeno's Constitutional Crisis

But can your soulmate do THIS? *pops a wheelie on my BMX*

So, Trump wants people to build factories in the US. Aren't factories traditionally made of... stuff? So... Don't tariffs make it... expensive to build factories in the US?

Senator Chris Murphy posted a clear explanation of what Trump is doing with tariffs. It took him 11 posts on Bluesky which I consolidated into one document with no changes.

on the plus side a reality TV star turned U.S. King just pointlessly implemented what will ultimately be the biggest consumer cost increases in modern U.S. history while the industry I work in continues to be summarily dismantled by fail-upward brunchlords who have no idea what they're doing
