We gotta stop electing people who could not survive a single day as a regular working human.

Someone needs to lock Matt Damon in his fucking house. You know how much money we've spent bringing his ass back home???

I don’t blame anyone without kids for getting this (though obviously not *everyone* without kids fails to get this, e.g., Kat afaik), but the correct response to a screaming child in a plane is to go and make stupid faces at it (Or at least share a look of sympathy with the parent)

Magnifique!

more like BRAGGINcourt is this anything?

Our senior writer roles are still open and accepting applications but may not be for long! If you were thinking about applying, get those resumes in 🦾 www.cdprojektred.com/en/jobs/2217...

If you, like me, have always *loathed* Chris Elliot, you should read this, it’s fascinating and so well written

If this were tru we’d be SO much better off

Here in Ohio I have periodically noticed smoke swirling around my backyard. Seems suboptimal!

This is like when I had a breakup in early 2020 and vowed to get out more and meet new people

The fact that my cat can arguably vote for the Hugo awards strikes me as a sign that the rules should be updated to specify that only humans can vote. Because it's just a matter of time before someone claims that their AI girlfriend is a person and can vote for the Hugos.

Fucked that there are a million songs about love but only one about a forest as an allegory for class warfare through a Randian lens

Holy shit. @bsky.app, here’s a nicely collected bot swarm for your convenience

*gently grabs your face* listen to me LISTEN TO ME y'all need to start buying the rights to Horror books written by women instead of trolling Reddit for scraps of creepypasta. There are SO MANY BOOKS that would make great movies just sitting there, complete with PLOTS and THEMES and CHARACTER ARCS.

Yeah yeah we drank from the hose and whatever but you know what we had that really made a difference? Malls. Malls with *arcades*.

What Trent Reznor chooses…poorly Nine Inch Grails

Why I’m a fan of the Oxford comma.

I don't know who needs to hear this but please do not dispute Stripe charges if a subscription auto-renews without even emailing the vendor first. Stripe charges gigantic fees for this kind of thing, it's mostly used by small businesses who will happily refund your money and/or comp you

I am once again asking white North Americans to find better ways of dealing with guilt over their ancestors’ acts of colonialism than attacking Jews over Gaza. Donate your time, donate your money, donate anything except for your useless fucking vitriol towards us.

Hey Toronto I just—

BTW was anyone else like, “well no duh, he’s been in the hospital since—wait WHO died?” stg I’ve always confused the two

Bluesky gonna need to add add a couple dozen more servers DAMN quick Seriously time is a factor (And if there’s still any hiccups when McConnell kicks it, then double them cuz, y’know)

Uh oh everyone’s waking up to The News* and it’s as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in surprised joy and Bluesky was suddenly silenced *not that news**. Don’t get too excited **yet

Apparently it’s good to be the kings

THE BEAR series finale got weird, huh

I never thought the journalism-eating leopards would eat MY journalists

Protip: When a company apologizes for “missing the mark,” understand that “the mark” is BEING A FUCKING HUMAN WITH FEELINGS

Minced onion, yellow mustard, and add dill relish to the other one

Hey Bay Area If you wanna have fun tomorrow night head to Retro Junkie in Walnut Creek where I’ll be singing, playing guitar, and playing drums for a few songs. I promise you’ll dance and I’ll be giving out free stickers! www.eventbrite.com/e/hot-lava-b...

Henry Rollins:

More than half of my free time in these last few years has been spent on trying to fix other peoples’/businesses’ stupid and completely unnecessary mistakes Every new endeavor I have to budget in ”Fixing/Delay/Recovery” time and money

For those thinking about Bonnie Tyler today: One of the best episodes of the @kirkhamilton.com podcast "Strong Songs" goes deep on "Total Eclipse of the Heart", including the fun fact that it was originally intended for a musical about *vampires* strongsongspodcast.com/blogs/episod...

Seriously! Look at this dumb shit! You know how many people came to this show? Literally as many as the venue could legally hold. The fuck outta here with that “gotta have an artist” bullshit.

Characterizing Graham Platner’s dating history as just short of “pristine” says a lot about Michael Tracey’s dating history.

why is he dressed like JonBenet Ramsey?

This is a frickin’ great book

So does this mean Lalas will STFU now?

Do the Fox commentators just, like, hate the U.S. team or

Tomorrow I might make a video why you should go see my band in Walnut Creek. Important reasons: Show start at 7pm done before 11pm! TACOS! 8 min walk to BART Pinball and arcade games High energy bands playing B-52s and Talking Heads songs TACOS! www.eventbrite.com/e/hot-lava-b...

I feel bad for Mexico; to my very unpracticed eye they seemed to lose their direction as soon as they went up a player, but also holy CRAP was England’s D good in that position, goddamn

I had never seen this before today. It is very funny. Also, presumably y’all know this because we all nerd down here but Justin dot TV is now known as “Twitch”

“So what is it you pledge allegiance to? You want the gift? Or just the wrapping?” —J. Robbins Here’s to fighting for the gift while the weirdos keep caring only about the wrapping.

Last week I found out that @astrokatie.com and @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social did a podcast called “The Universe” for Crash Course and I’ve started listening. It’s really excellent and Dr. Mack is great at explaining complex concepts to laypeople. Highly recommend if you’re interested in cosmology.

Today I’m going to think about my Mexican grandparents moving to a sundown town with their kids and starting a radiator shop and becoming such an integral part of the community that a sign from that shop now sits in the town museum. 🇺🇸

What do you have to say in your defense, @worldbollardassoc.bsky.social ?

Dear directors and producers: You don't need to doomscroll through Reddit to find a great Horror story. These are the three novels from my backlist that would be the easiest to film. They're all small scale and don't require a ton of CGI. LET'S TALK.

Just a reminder. I'm always surprised how many people aren't aware of this. #Libraries

Our timeline has the hackiest writers but damn is it funny sometimes “Though Pope Leo's plea proved unable to stop the event, the weather did — for nearly an hour. Thunder and torrential rain just before Holy Communion forced the ceremony to pause…”
