This is a real Christmas gift

Really thoughtful critique from an economics and foreign policy lens

Teacher says every time a potato fries an angel gets more eyes [still workshopping this]

Love this thread of unhinged responses to a reasonable opinion

There are a lot of things we as a Americans are culpable for. There are a lot of things we have to fix. But if we don't completely dismantle the immigration system we've built and make it humane, then we deserve every terrible thing we reap

Is it just me or are the WalMart commercials with the Grinch characters creepy (also kind of dumb)?

Really respect this joke

This is how thanksgiving dinner works

Here it is. A sweeping epic adaptation: Kristin Lavransdatter. Would probably require three movies. I'd watch the heck out of this.

Would love football rule experts to answer this. @sickoscommittee.org do you know the right person?

@sickoscommittee.org This NDSU St Thomas game is brutal. They blindside sacked the St Thomas QB so hard his helmet popped off and the ball came out. The defenders were stepping over the bouncing helmet to get to the fumbled ball

Still don't think this would make me interested in basketball, but it's still a good idea

Thank you @audreywatters.bsky.social this is very well done.

Jokes on them when I see who's calling and don't pick up. Send an email like a normal person

Why exactly do the Packers jerseys look like they're the bears this week?

One more reason not to vote for this guy

I'm just a regular middle American, but after all that Trump's done for the Republican party, the fact that they haven't changed their name to the Trump party sure seems like an insult. Almost like they aren't willing to be attached to his name for the next five election cycles. Real shame

Getting older- Tired: This important cultural touchstone is old enough to drink. Wired: This important cultural touchstone is old enough to enroll in Medicare.

I asked my wife if Nightmare Before Christmas was a Halloween movie or a Christmas movie. Her answer was that it was like the Walmart seasonal section in October.

I made it, now you have to see it

Took me many years to convince my body that it's okay to wake up early enough, but this does indeed free up my afternoon, but not the rest of the morning. Usually lunch time before I get caught up

Endorse

So many skulls to tattoo without being a Nazi

I think I'm turning into Statute of limitations! guy. Every time they commit a crime I want to check to see if they can be indicted in 2028.

Statute of limitations!

Took me too long to recognize the voice of Reagan denouncing tariffs. Maybe Ontario was trying to make me feel young?

The Great Gatsby is the better book, but Tender is the Night is the better story

Those kids were in their single digits when Obama was president. They probably have no idea what he's talking about. But that's probably true of most of his speeches

Every night my brain plays a game: can I wake up exactly when the alarm goes off? It is not good at this game. Is it 6:02? No it's 3:37 Is it 6:02? No it's 3:52 Is it 6:02? No it's 5:17 Is it 6:02? No it's 5:51 Aaah why is the alarm going off, I'm not ready to wake up!

Hope some higher ups in California see this thread

Strong agree with this thread

Do you think the TSA is elated that ICE has become the real villains, and let them off the hook

What is happening with blocked field goals!

Reposting this for no current events reason at all

I have a genuine constitutional question here. Not that there would ever be enough votes for it, but can the US expel a state?

Assuming you saw this @whstancil.bsky.social

I will be reusing this quote from Shakespeare regularly going forward.

Thank you for this entire thread, and to the artists who made it possible

Pedantic point: half-mast is on sea and half-staff is on land. Also, seeking representation for my "literary" novel "The Flags Are Always at Half-staff" if there's any agents looking randomly through Bluesky for authors to represent and want to reach out for a synopsis and sample pages.

Make Bribery a Crime Again (MBaCA) Is this a thing?

@durbin.senate.gov This something you can help with?

This is the way!

Too obvious but REM, New Adventures in Hi-Fi Also James, Laid

@jfruh.bsky.social I know that normally the comments you get are riffs on the comics themselves, but I wanted to tell you that your commentary on Hagar today was great. At first I thought where's he going with this, but the payoff was perfect joshreads.com/2025/09/rip-...

My bar for what is weird in someone else's home is pretty high. But my wife always gets upset when I take pictures on vacations because I never have pictures of us or the kids in them

I believe the joke requires that I let him out

@governorwalz.mn.gov @govpritzker.illinois.gov Hear me out. States put onerous taxes on cigarettes and typically make it unlawful to skirt the tax. What's stopping Minnesota or Illinois from putting a five/ten/fifty dollar tax on every bullet sold in or imported into the state.

I wonder which lawyer is about to win the lottery on this. Who needs the Powerball?

That means us, right? They're sanctioning the US and our leaders.

So weird to hear the US Open crowds chanting "Let's go Brandon"
