We’re watching S1 of The Comeback, and Paulie G is such a specific kind of Hollywood piece of shit that it physically hurts us to watch him

The thing that's really annoying about this discourse is that Hasan has said so much ignorant shit over the years that there's a lot of very justified reasons reasons to not like him but it always gets portrayed as a vehicle for Israel-Palestine discourse

My actual memory of this is that the bird thing was funny and cute until people online got weird about it and this isn’t making me think that was *wrong*

Buddy, my closest Somali friend speaks at least four languages and is a partner at a global investment firm, hard as it may be to imagine for a guy who allegedly paid someone to take his SATs

better luck next time, Carl bsky.app/profile/brai...

This is, by the by, my litmus test for if you actually oppose the Occupation. You can be a Zionist, a two-stater, a one-stater, I don't care, if you're willing to condition military aid you are at least interested in addressing the problem. If you're not, you clearly don't actually care that much.

some lefties turn into weird austerity hawks when it comes to space and like do you actually think it would be invested in social services? come on now

Multiple times I have seen people post this chart as evidence that “things are getting more expensive” even though the chart is explicitly about which things have gotten more expensive relative to other things, which have therefore gotten relatively cheaper.

People won’t want to hear it, but there is a straight line between this kind of shoddy scholarship and the pile on culture we see here everyday around topics including AI. Cf. bsky.app/profile/mkir...

Hasan Piker’s a moron and I actively think less of the people going to the mat for him and you should too! Why don’t the Democrats want their people talking to the guy who constantly attacks the Democrats? That’s a real fuckin’ mystery, man.

can't believe I have to say this, but PSA, the tortoise is not dead, I repeat, the tortoise is not dead

I don't think a Supreme Court decision defining conversion therapy as protected speech is a trans specific issue. I think we might be losing sight of a few things here.

Jonathan the Tortoise is alive and well 🐢 • He’s ~193 years old — the longest-living land animal on Earth • A suspected crypto scammer went viral on April Fools Day pretending to be his vet (via British Overseas)

We’re not cut out for the PNW

upgrading the windmills of your mind to solar

Humans going to the moon, a corrupt republican President, an unpopular war, an energy crisis, its the 1970s again baby

angling for the critical esotouric voting block

No other transit advocacy groups beyond ETA sounded on to this. Speaks to how needed ETA is on the transit advance scene.

I don’t think the JD Vance thing where the church is actually a Methodist church actually matters? Like if you write a book about discovering you love dogs and end up with a Doberman, a cute Lab on the cover is not a gaffe.

imagine being a churchgoer who maybe doesn't read the news. you go to Easter services and that's how you find out the ethnic cleansing paramilitary has disappeared your pastor.

A federal judge in New York just unsealed the names of 16 DOGE agents who helped cause cybersecurity havoc at the Office of Personnel Management www.eff.org/files/2026/0...

The notion that because someone has a lot of followers, they are obligated to just sit there and take it, is outright *deranged*. And the uwu smol bean shit when they get hit back is just the worst crybully shit.

Especially those that decide that once you reach a certain number of followers you cease to be a human being and now have carte blanche to send them as many death threats as your little heart desires. Having gone through Gamergate, my PSTD can go haywire if I get too many notifications on a Bad Day.

i really don't love how dog piling on this app gets downplayed or brushed off with "yeah, that sucks but it would be 100x worse on twitter." one person made my life a living hell for years. getting death & rape threats is fucking traumatising. my heart still races if i get too many emails at once.

You couldn't waterboard this, a story of someone discovering that a country's strict drug laws apply to them and that they do not have the same rights they do in the US in a foreign country, out of me if this was my story

So, THAT went well. 🤡 #14A

Yo if you leave a theater like this you should be banned for life lmao

There should be no second bailout of the auto industry

Something that has stuck with me about the whole Thiel funded Hulk Hogan lawsuit is that Gawker never really understood that Hogan's unhinged racist rant on the sextape was the story, not the sextape itself, and that fighting on the ground of the right to post revenge porn was a huge mistake.

I see that some people are interested in a Day Two of Being Fucking Deranged About Journalists

Adam means that she is the daughter of immigrants, but it is worth emphasizing that *every* U.S. citizen who has not been naturalized is a birthright citizen, either by the 14th Amendment or by statute.

New story out this morning from the Washington Examiner saying that it's an open secret inside the Border Patrol that the current Border Patrol Chief has bragged for decades about going to Thailand and Colombia to sleep with a bunch of sex workers. www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/investi...

⛽ in LA have surpassed the $6 mark 🚌 🚋 haven't budged from $1.75

I love Ursula K LeGuin, and yet so many of her brain worms about primitive agriculture and ecology are some of the shit I really can’t stand

we talk a lot about Long COVID but not nearly enough about Long ZIRP Brain

My most firmly held and tired view is that differences in affect (e.g. between GOP aggression and Dem timidity) are easily perceptible, and people will notice a change if things like the DHS shutdown become the norm rather than the exception. www.offmessage.net/p/the-fights...

If you’re born in the United States, you are an American citizen. That’s a constitutional guarantee in the 14th Amendment and reaffirmed by court precedent, including US v. Wong Kim Ark. Any attempts to strip citizenship from people born on U.S. soil are unconstitutional.

Contrary to the Wurman, Barnett, Epstein, Lash, et al. story re: the common law and natural subjects: "le fits de alien, ql fits est nee en Angliterre il est anglois et non alien" "the son of an alien who is born in England is English and not an alien" 36 Hen. 8 (Eng. 1544) FIFTEEN-FORTY-FOUR

i’m pretty tired of this website

Just to be clear, he's not talking about your town, which of course is full... but rather the nearby towns which could clearly fit more people.

i can only hope that if I was a Bimbofied Husband i too would have a wife who loves & supports me & sucks on my comically enormous fake tits

data point for my view that the 2014 midterm elections were the most important federal contest of the century so far

By the way, the tell that Will is absolutely right here is the number of times people have posted my own profile pic at me but upside down. Subtle.

The whole world will be your enemy, prince with a thousand enemies. And when they catch you, they will smash you with a hammer. But first they must catch you.

speaking as someone who is constantly saying “you and your ten friends can be your local democratic party if you want to be,” no one wants to hear that shit. they want to be served their preferred outcome on a platter

My Hasan frustration is home grown and all natural with no added preservatives (he makes all sort of jokes about hating gays! Weird!)

Years ago I dated a guy who broke up with me in a deeply manipulative, embarrassing way, and I posted about it (immaturely but accurately), and he was so mad about it that he took that as grounds to go to all the parties I had invited him to that weekend. That is basically the vibes of these people.

The new complaint is now that “the cis liberals” or whatever are mass blocking people over this, and for me it’s like, yeah, I’m not here to interact with people who think this shit is defensible or coherent behavior!
