The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

Try extending that graph to the left. There's a reason it was truncated there. This is a perfectly normal usage profile. Whenever a user joins a given site, there's a standard falloff curve where a fraction leaves. Since Bluesky's users have mainly come in spikes, that's just the normal curve.

I have been SPOILT by indie kickstarters. A mainstream pub wants almost the same price for digital issues as for hardcover print? I know it's a large collection of comics but... Indies throw that in for you if you spend that much on a print book. I am an indulged child who has feasted upon bon bons

Came out of the post office, saw that a guy had cut my saddle bag off my bike and was about to take off with it. I yelled "Please wait my cat's medicine is in there!" He started to run, and this grandma-age lady goes "SHE SAID HER CAT'S MEDICINE IS IN THERE" and WALLOPED him with her grocery bag.

Don't order takeout much because it gets pricy but when I order my thai food I get three dishes and that is going to feed me for three dinners.

Please I just want a Dragonite to be my mailman... #pokemon #watercolor #sketch #doodle #traditionalart #dragonite

Everyone who tried to draw around me and started drawing LOVED it at the beginning because of their QUICK IMPROVEMENT. Then quit when they hit The Wall™️. But it's when you hit The Wall™️ that you NEED to push through with practice!! And you gotta do it for yourself, because it's ALWAYS worth it! 😤

Because she was working with a federal task force, she was considered a federal officer, and thus protected by SCOTUS rulings making it all but impossible to sue federal cops, even for egregious abuse. Now consider what this means for Trump's immigration thugs. Democrats had two years to fix this.

Imagina tu ser uma mina japonesa e aí uma plataforma de uma das Top Editoras do Japão te contrata em 2022 pra ilustrar o mangá dum cara aleatório aí. Em 2026 tu descobre que teu colega de obra publicava com nome falso pq foi condenado em 2020 por posse de pornografia infantil. E TEM MAIS+

''Ermmm it's unprofessional to talk about ''politics'', you'll lose followers!'' Oh shit my bad, here let me say this instead- Fuck ICE Fuck MAGA Free Palestine Trans rights Black lives matter I could give two fucks if people unfollow, i'm not here to surround myself by bigots.

Grapefruit is such a basic answer but it is so BITTER and even the sugar tastes like fiber. Doesn't even have the culinary purpose of a lemon. You forgot it was in the running for worst is how bad it is.

I had to get them. But dang these are HEFTY hunks of metal.

The only kind of person who would use the phrase "the Elizabethan version of professional wrestling" as anything other than a selling point is someone incapable of liking good things.

Squeezing air pollution into diamonds!

“Is there a technology the left is excited about?” High-speed rail! MRNA vaccines! New cancer treatments! Solar and wind energy collection! Better and longer-range EVs! That wood that's harder than steel! New apples! Fibermaxxing! Buldak Swicy ramen! Muppets! Muppets are too a technology, shut up!

Next time someone tells me to take vitamin c for my cold I am going to drink their blood

It's #blackhistorymonth . Are you supporting BLACK #indieanimation and black independent media as a whole ? There's so many black indie creators making our work because studio systems tell us there's no audience. Check out this thread for a plethora of BLACK INDIE projects .

Every teen girl wants to read stories about it being the far future and yet it’s all just men named Johnson or Thompson smoking and rolling up their shirt sleeves, and talking about whether or not they’re going to see their mistress before the end of the world

We started our publishing house originally just to anthologize science fiction stories by women. The Rediscovery series has been a big success. Dr. Yaszek actually contributed one of the introductions! journeypress.com/rediscovery-...

Once again I have accidentally bought pregnancy clothing from the thrift store. I never do it consciously. I will do it again.

I once saw a skeet that was like "I love worldbuilding fiction because creative ppl will literally build whole imaginary societies just to talk about their fetishes and hyperfixations, it's all a huge self-report" And If a skeet could stab you in the heart, man

I know you’re joking but literally this is the illegal backflip they’re referring to

I just got a survey about a flat tax on billionaires coming this state election. I AM SO EXCITED TO VOTE.

It's a pity so much academia falls back on ignoring the great man's flaws or "separate the art from the artist" hedging because looking at an artist in the context of their awful actions is fascinating. There's clearly a hunger for it but it's relegated to true crime docs or Old Hollywood gossip

Second thing: Neil Gaiman coming back? In this economy? No, bro, go count your money and stfu. As of APRIL of 2025, he was SUING one of his (alleged) survivors! I HAVE A SNEAKING SUSPICION THE RICH, ENDLESSLY GLORIFIED MAN DID NOT DO THE FUCKING WORK FAM! www.vulture.com/article/neil...

In this year's serving of bulletproof bullshit, Gaiman talks about how he used to be a journalists and respects journalists. Yeah, sure. Right. Anyway, I think Elizabeth Sandifer's Last War in Albion is amazing, and this chapter is of particular interest re NG www.eruditorumpress.com/blog/the-cud...

it is funny how all the fictional monsters we imagined taking over the U.S. for the last 30 years are objectively better people than the current regime. Give me Skeletor, please. Cobra Commander wants to run shit? He can hardly be worse than what we're rockin' today. It's worth a shot!

This isn’t even all of the AIDS quilt. It was so long they didn’t have room to display it all. Reagan flat out fucking murdered queer people

I am not trying to fearmonger but if one of these people is your representative please call them and tell them to vote no on "Protect Children’s Innocence Act, H.R. 3492"

Nothing like failing at opening a lid, recruiting another person, them also failing, so opening the container requires teamwork. Sweet validation.

I like whatever is wrong with my algorithm over there

Hello game industry event can I interest you in our lord and savior anti ai environmentalist browser based virtual pet game??

What a great headline

This is Possum Holding a Pumpkin Day for me

you must kill the part of you that cringes. you MUST!!! YOU HAVE TO DO IT TO SURVIVE!!!! YOU HAVE TO KILL IT TO LIVE!!!!!!!!

Prescriptions should come with at least 3 extra pills to replace the ones I drop on the floor or lose to the mattress.

We could have had???

I thought being seen was a horror but then that means the default option is being misunderstood.

I think most artists hit a point where they’re like, well if I can’t be the best artist, I shall be the most ME artist.

Trump's name appears the most: more than 1,600 times. couriernewsroom.com/news/we-crea...

Black American soldiers literally dug these WWII graves. Traumatic. To acknowledge that fact at a cemetery they helped construct is something the Heritage Foundation cannot accept. As Veterans Day approaches, never forget that this country both compels and disrespects Black military service. Always.

Oh hey more federal news. WHAT ABOUT THE EPSTEIN FILES THO
