As hilarious as it was inevitable. I'm not normally an emoji person, but this deserves 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

“No harmony endures,” said the young king. “None has ever been achieved,” said the Plenipotentiary. “The pleasure is in trying.”

15yo tells me how her wife (Lady Macbeth) slaps her onstage during the show. Me: WHAT? How dare she! I will jump up on stage and protect you! 15yo: Uh, mom... I have some real bad news about what happens to me later in the show.

Interesting!

How Rachel ACTUALLY found out ...

Bingo

It's a sort of confession - "this tool doesn't work properly, but if you jiggle it like so, you can get some use out of it". Narrator: "He had spent some time that day jiggling it, and knew whereof he spoke."

Well, that’s my holiday booked for next year.

I feel like I'm going to get a lot of use out of this Pluribus screencap

I don't care for blood sports, but seeing Andrew Tate get repeatedly punched in the face turns out to be a tonic. Worth leaving a tab open so you can keep going back to it. Come to think, this may be a "Reverse Unicorn Chaser"!

Just so.

Christian Clothing CEO: You finish that sweatshirt about saving as many souls as possible? Christian Clothing Designer: Sure did, boss. Real fuckin’ ominous and with an implied threat of mass murder, just like you asked. Christian Clothing CEO: What.

Maybe more organizational storage will help me feel in control of my life during the apocalypse

Y'all get mad at me every election when I point out that the majority of white folk, and even the majority of white women, will vote for Trump.🤷🏿‍♂️ Yes in 2016, but also 2020 and 2024.

There's also been studies that if women speak in a group something like 20% of the time as well (i don't recall the exact figure), the men present will perceive women as speaking the majority of the time.

Step away from the lathe Mr. Stross.

We don't know if she obstructed federal agents—but we know that doing so is more important than any law. Laws and courts are not inherently just. They simply reflect the balance of power within the state. Sometimes, even a judge has the backbone to do what is right. crimethinc.com/becomeananar...

It's a Christmas tradition now. It wouldn't be the same without it.

One of my oldest friends is an evangelical Christian and I'm a Jewish atheist. We get along just fine and talk about all kinds of things, because we understand that the other person is happy and fulfilled. Also, we both know the other person wants *everyone* to be happy, however that happens.

@greatdismal.bsky.social talks about "the jackpot" in some of his novels not a single breakdown, but a mess of small things adding up, of unintended consequences. Reading this made me shiver, and feel that this is a harbinger of exactly that pattern.

Just had a council send me their Council Tax address list in the form of a 2,346-page PDF file. My best guess is they have some kind of humiliation kink #FOI

living in england is like being in thomas the tank engine except it's a gritty reboot where thomas has a substance abuse problem and the fat conductor has stripped the lines of copper to run a sleazy saloon where toby the tram engine dances on the bar in a red skirt

Shamina Begum must be held accountable for her actions when she was 15. Whereas I should not, because I was a mere child.
