Can confirm: autism hasn't destroyed my family, we're pretty great actually kthx

Did you know Bluesky has a decorative #GourdFeed muthafucker? Joshua also has a #MorningWalk feed, and #BreadSky feed. Sometimes you just need to look at gourds and bread and sky. Often, you need to look at gourds and bread and sky.

This thread is FASCINATING

If they're going to try and retcon Charlie Kirk, then we should try to retcon him too.

It sure would be a hell of a thing for the Christian Rapture to happen on Rosh Hashanah, huh?

One of the most formative experiences of my life is living in the Philippines as a child and knowing that we Americans were the baddies there

Oh damn, this thread. I had no idea.

Ever since the "Is Trump missing or dead?" weekend, I've been keeping an eye on recent photos and his calendar to see if I can spot anything weird as it happens. I noticed something and I keep waiting for someone else to talk about it, but it's not happening, so I'm gonna 1/🧵 CW: weight loss

What a world

This is an excellent point!

Okay I know this is a joke but I did 100% download a backup copy of wikipedia back in February (and you can, too!) kiwix.org

I hate that it's this way, but goons throwing a pretty blonde girl onto the ground is more likely to make waves in the media than any number of kidnapped Latino parents

In the olden days of absolute monarchy was this just how it was all the time?

Oh no I updated to Tahoe and it lost all my opened browser tabs 😭

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere. It means more power for them and less freedom for you.

It’s wild how little anime eyes can make a horrifying creature look adorable

Journomerta is brilliant

Read up on cardiac cachexia, I have an inkling you're gonna hear a lot about it pretty soon

Seconded. GameChanger 4 Lyfe

My experience of AR glasses is they're too big and too heavy for a person with a small face, like... you know... mostly women It's fucking amazing how much money they leave on the table (assuming anyone is hype about buying these, which is not a good assumption, but YKWIM)

Is the Korean legal system such that you can really get divorced in an afternoon or is Kdrama lying to me?

This is so gross.

The key aspect of Exra's thesis of "We Are Going To HAve To Live Here With Each Other" is that the other side doesn't share that objective. They explicitly reject it. So... what then?

SCAM ALERT: If by chance you get contacted by a group advertising themselves as the “Crazy Old Bats Book Club” who would like to charge you for reading your book in their book club, and who claim I am one of the Satisfied Authors, and furthermore give you an email address for me—it’s not me.

The main criticism this book got is that the POV character is unlikeable. It's true, Mira is a pretty awful person, especially to begin with! One of the things I was thinking about in this book is the ways in which people are unaware but can become aware of privilege

Phoning Schumer's office to call him dangerously delusional probably doesn't help much but it did make me feel a little better.

Sometimes it's nice to remember that even Marcus Aurelius was like "you don't have to comment on everything bro"

BREAKING: Rep. Ro Khanna just announced that Democrats now have the votes to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files. Sept. 23 — the discharge petition will be entered into the record. 7 days later — the House votes.

Magic and airships!

oh my god THEY'RE EXPLODING

MAN CEREAL!

Do not put your name on a website to register for a rally in this political climate. What the fuck's wrong with y'all. Are there any people of color that work at this org who might knock some sense into your peach colored heads.

Is there a Lesser Britain?

Hi guys, did you already know there are competitions for window tinting? With better commentators than most of the tennis matches I’ve watched on ESPN? (Low bar I know) Anyway if you need to procrastinate harder than you’ve ever procrastinated before, I got you

Enough already. The White House via Stephen Miller says Democrats are an "domestic extremist organization" & JD Vance says he wants to crush the Dems. Trump says Dems are radical leftists and it was radical leftists who killed Kirk. How can you have bipartisan negotiations with people like that

The lawsuits over who gets his money when he goes are gonna be fire

Awards shows need to accept that people winning an individual award and people winning team-contribution awards do not need the same amount of time to speak
