anyway, my younger brother had to be rushed into emergency surgery last weekend because he almost died, and going forward he will technically have a permanent (mostly invisible) disability. this is not about me, but it's fucking me up nonetheless; none of us, incl. him, knew HOW SICK he really was

left this place temporarily because i got back into fandom stuff, tried coming back, found out moderation policies here may be different from but no better than The Other Place, left again, am back to post personal stuff because anybody who'd listen is here 🫤

saw a few people express surprise that Musk would go for the pedophilia accusations so quickly but like, that's kind of infamously a thing for him, if anything i'm surprised he didn't jump to that the second he was shown the door

my mom is actively being directed via streaming algorithm to conspiracy theory pseudo-documentaries but fortunately (?) she has Wernicke-Korsakoff dementia so she doesn't absorb or remember any of it

One of the things that has always bugged me about the ‘wokeness’ discourse is that rank and file right-wingers are far more odious and anti-democratic than rank and file lefties.

saw people on twitter calling a dude pompous and pretentious for writing at like an eighth-grade level maybe

#ThePitt roommates, week one (reposted from Tumblr)

i forgot i can also post here (i've been keeping mostly to fandom spaces in my online life lately because [boo-hoo bullshit omitted]), oops

Everybody romanticizing about the heyday of American manufacturing needs to carefully listen to one (1) Bruce Springsteen song.

I can feel the desperate fragility through my screen

calling trump “orange”? kinda cringe but whatever calling it “orange monday” thereby forcing future generations of economists to explain why its called that? absolutely hilarious

IF YOU'RE IN LINE TO PISS ON STROM THURMOND'S GRAVE, STAY IN LINE

Huh, weird

not intended as a callout but it's wildly funny to me when exclusively-weeb accounts like my prestige tv posts and exclusively-prestige tv accounts like my weeb posts. i love containing multitudes 💖

you are in power! you got exactly what you wanted! nobody has to give a fuck about your victimhood complex anymore!

The Pitt (2025)

ACAB includes the uwu police

my brother recently binged Lost and is now making me watch it, and apparently we watched the entire first season together back in the day? i just have zero recollection of any of it. in any case, this show is amazingly stupid and i mean that in the best way possible

The Pitt fandom's posts after every episode have shown me that this may be a contender for horniest fanbase currently running

me: Have you read the latest about Dora the Explorer feet mukbang? Did you know that IShowSpeed took China? Does the Big Balls cybercrime ring remain on the lam? nurse, to my family: I'm sorry, it's time.

Everything about the shape of society since the tech boom tells me that ostracizing nerds was some kind of learned evolutionary survival mechanism & once the iPhone was invented that tipped the scales beyond salvation in terms of how far man had strayed from nature’s embrace

I, for one, have never planned and executed the bombing of civilians in a group chat. But I’m a bit of a wallflower like that.

God I was not meant to survive in a dying empire. I was meant to draw gay guys

doohickey potentially the most powerful political weapon in history?

The 66-year-old woman kicking this guy’s ass is a retired professor of medicine with 16,000 citations on Google Scholar Goals

fam is it good to end the international order that prevented world war for 80 years

imagine being given a front row seat to the inner workings of an authoritarian regime led by the worst people alive and then hurriedly removing yourself because it’s not “appropriate”

we're such a dumb fucking country oh my god

Canada is doing a better job communicating to Americans how bad this is for them than the Democrats are, and that’s sad

“why are you posting about Democrat X instead of Republican Y” well the things i have to say about republicans go somewhere encrypted lol

Like this post to be killed instantly by 70s Meiko Kaji. Repost this to be killed instantly by 70s Meiko Kaji

what would it take to have a political party that actually wanted to make people’s lives better

checking The Pitt's tag on tumblr immediately post-episode showed me that there is no force of heaven or earth that can stop fandom from being horny

ended up doing the reverse but tbh this week's The Pitt was merely a good episode of a show that hasn't had a bad one. (the claim that it was the turning point of it becoming another show altogether isn't inaccurate, though; the didacticism i complained of earlier is dropped completely.)

#severance finale spoiler: we only just met him but i'm glad Emile lived

sure witnessing the collapse of society into full blown post apocalyptic despotism can be kinda depressing, but have you ever had to EAT FOOD BY YOURSELF?

Dispatches from the girls bathroom, an ongoing series.

I like how he implies that previously people only liked Tesla because they were programmed to

I've been churning on new ideas for a G Gundam "Next Generation" Couldn't get this one out of my head last night.

i'm going to give myself new and more elaborate mental illnesses by watching this and the Severance finale in the same night

Any pub or show not running or reporting on this comment right here is absolutely caping for this administration. Everyone knows education is the most kitchen table ass talking point ever and specifically saying disabled kids shouldn't have access to it affects so many families

says it all doesn't it? pardons for sacking our nation's capitol, the death penalty for attacking our king's precious cars. ruling us like conquered territory

NEBRASKA CROWD: “TAX THE RICH! TAX THE RICH!” @USRepMikeFlood: “So your proposal to solve (the debt) is tax the rich?” NEBRASKA CROWD: *CHEERS WILDLY* (not sure this went quite as he planned 😬)

it’s amazing that reporters tasked with informing our country about important socio-political matters are completely credulous morons
