I mean I'd rather play D&D with Matthew Lillard than with Quentin Tarantino, who seems like he'd be a Greatest Hits of all the worst horror stories about problem players EVER. Also, Lillard could have played Richard Gecko with his eyes closed, but Tarantino could NEVER have been Stevo.

I don’t want to vote for a Democrat who promises to get Trump’s voters to vote for them. I want a Democrat who wants to put Trump in prison

Reposting the alt-text. Tennessee is gerrymandered as hell.

If you have family & friends in Tennessee, please encourage them to vote for @aftynbehn.bsky.social ! This whole country needs her to win!

remember: columbo isn't a cop. he's a fae with a strong sense of justice, who shows up to crimes and glamours people into thinking he's a cop. that's why he doesn't carry a gun: the cold iron

In other news, our fridge picked a helluva time to start leaking. FUCK.

oh, she's *heavy* folks 🧶

Last couple of days have been filled with cooking and eating, so today it's "knit and put off doing the dishes" for me. Making a squishy scarf, dead easy. Cast on a multiple of 3 (I cast on 21), and then knit-knit-purl every row. Needle size/yarn weight doesn't matter, but I went bulky for this.

they are all so fucking fragile

Please don’t like my posts. Repost them. We need to reach the people in #TN07 #Nashville #Tennessee If you have friends there, call them. We need to improve #turnout and #awareness of this special election. Vote @aftynbehn.bsky.social

My new favorite kind of meme is "here are detailed instructions on how to turn off AI". 🔨

Donald Trump doesn't want to release the Epstein files because he's in the files. Trump is in the files because he was "best friends" with Epstein for years. He was "best friends" with Epstein for years because they were abusing women and girls together. His attacks won't change any of that.

Just found out that one of my favorite professors from undergrad passed this morning. Absolutely heartbreaking. The world is a little darker and colder today. Rest easy, Dr. Briggs. You'll be sorely missed.

Full credit for the first line of the article, quoted in the link preview, being "no."

I’m crying

Day n Night #pixelart

if a machine ever told me I was 'goated with the sauce' I would start the Butlerian Jihad.

What's from Chicago, hates Illinois Nazis, and is holy as fuck? It's the Pope in 1982.

Gentlefolk of Bluesky, With AZ Rep. Adelita Grijalva now sworn in U.S. House please direct your attention to the great state of Tennessee, the 7th U.S. Congressional district Did you know about this special election? Vote to elect AFTYN BEHN TN-7 @aftynbehn.bsky.social Early voting began today💙

I didn't even realize this was a thing. Check your settings. Rude is subjective and seems to be being applied real goofy 🙃

The truly maddening thing is that, unlike when I was a young man in science and the materials and engineering just weren’t there yet, the future is *right there.* The problem is *solved*. What’s holding us back is not just greed, but this bizarre nostalgia, an obsession with petro- masculinity.

it was radicalizing to realize when i was young that i did not want kids and how utterly, violently american society wanted to force them on me while simultaneously knowing that my friends who did want kids were similarly, violently denied from having them or raising them in a good environment

this was for a colorado measure guaranteeing universal free lunch for kids. funny how a short two-column table can say so much in so little space.

Also fuck Garry Kasparov, incidentally

“I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life”

omg it was

those of you who are afraid of aging, please understand that one of the huge blessings of middle age is arriving at this exact station

WHAT Maybe we can get an anime reboot like Fruits Basket got. Please.

I wonder what it's like to not live in such a goddamn clownshoes country. Is it nice? I bet it's nice.

no one has ever been more relatable answering a question about AI

American people are going to go hungry because the Trump and his Republicans are choosing to let American people go hungry. It is a choice that they are continuing to make, because they're cruel and petty people who don't think of us as anything other than game pieces to move around.

Holy. Shit. The greatest living horror writer is doing a podcast.

Just did this with my Drive settings, and yeah it had Gemini ticked by default without ever asking me if that was something I wanted

To paraphrase Simone Weil (the better Simone) in THE NEED FOR ROOTS, the difference between a need and a desire is that a need can be sated, and desire never can be.

“If you live in a 15 minute city but your barista can’t afford to live there too, you don’t live in a 15 minute city, you live in a theme park.“

Use this blocklist to protect yourselves from government MAGA accounts (a phrase I can't believe I have to utter) bsky.app/profile/did:...

This is a very good point about DHS. They direct harassment campaigns on Twitter using quote-tweets.

lol remember how I said "we can't keep this little creature" remember that anyway, this is Speedway (Speedy for short, Speed Racer to his friends, and Speedway-Nathaniel-Cat-Stop-Biting-Your-Mother most other times)

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

I wonder what it's like to not live in such a goddamn clownshoes country. Is it nice? I bet it's nice.

Mike Johnson Do Your Fucking Job Challenge: Impossible, apparently.

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."

"The customer is always right" ... IN MATTERS OF TASTE.

My wish for ALL of you, but especially my fellow nerodivergents. (including the socially castigated,) undiagnosed, queers (esp. nonpassing as cishet,) disabled, jobless, mentally ill, crippled, and chronically ill - to EVERYONE reading this but ESPECIALLY to y'all; May you catch a fucking break.

I will never not repost this (Sound on for maximum effect)
