“No fedposting in the group chat“ is modern netiquette.

I've been on this site for almost two years and I am still in awe of how when a post hits Discover, you know within 2 replies. Genius design

Oh, God, this is one of those "where do I even start" things, because Roblox is, like, *fractally* fucked. They are terrible at content moderation. A lot of the games are rated incorrectly, so kids can encounter graphic content (sex or violence) out of nowhere --

Trump has zero beliefs. He just wants people to cheer when he says stuff and hang out with cool people. Mamdani is cool. It's *literally* that simple.

The Bluesky Gun Understanders were puttin’ in the overtime yesterday.

the entirety of human history has actually been manipulation by cats to get them to every corner of earth.

“This was the week from hell for environmental policy in the United States,” said Pat Parenteau of Vermont Law and Graduate School. “Unless stopped by the courts, each of these proposed rollbacks will do irreparable harm to the nation’s water quality, endangered species and marine ecosystems.”

I'd like to point out that it's not really a love triangle unless these dudes are also doing each other. This is more like love guywires. ~

Shorthand: If someone expresses that US Imperialism is a stain upon the earth whose sin can never be washed clean, but Soviet or Chinese imperialism is either acceptable or just didn't happen, you're talking to a tankie.

KYUK is the only public radio station in remote Alaska that regularly broadcasts in the Yugtun language, providing a crucial lifeline to Indigenous communities in the area. After Congress slashed its budget, the station isn't sure how it'll survive. The latest from our friends at @revealnews.org:

JFK was killed by Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone.

also there’s no aliens. if we’d captured aliens and their tech we would’ve just annihilated the soviets, and we would’ve already colonized the galaxy instead of paying elon to blow up the southeast corner of texas

Mom and cub stopped by to check us out where we watched, breathless from the buggy. Some bears are very curious of the large, white box full of people with clicky things.

Today’s axe… (…is one of my absolute favorite setups.)

We currently have defense contractors providing parts for rifles that are older than the World Wide Web, bombers that were around before the microchip, and heavy machine guns that antedate television. I’m sure that “National Defense as a Service” will work great.

Never argue with people John Brown would have shot.

So I don't drive through the desert alone late at night if I can help it and if I have to I'll probably set something on the front passenger seat, I GTFO when the forest or swamp goes silent, and I if I get that "I shouldn't be here" lizard feeling? I shortly won't be.

Every billionaire is a failure of public policy.

My USMA grad next-door neighbor is gonna be so ass blasted.

We’re gonna do Nigerian and Venezuela at the same time, and both in the absolutely most half-assed fucked-up fashion to boot, right?

Hey, what could possibly go wrong if we handed the keys to the country over to a pack of avaricious amoral ahistorical ghouls?

“listen I’ve read a lot of smut in my time but the thing is…” *yanks off headphones* *powers down computer* *walks into sea*

me to my husband just now: “if I posted that on bluesky, we would get the most horrific replies” I’ll let y’all ruminate on what he could’ve possibly said

The fact that terminally-online Elon is almost certain to see this meme and will consequently blow a gasket is the best part.

FATALITY

One of the things that cracked me up about the M247 Sergeant York DIVAD debacle was that it was such a Soviet weapons system in the first place. Our whole doctrine since the ‘60s is based on “How about let’s shoot down all the other guy’s planes and crater his runways so we don’t have to worry?”

He met with someone who dismembered a living human with a bonesaw earlier this week.

an annoying trend in the car space lately has been calling first impressions 'reviews'

The corporate consolidation of media has been an absolute goddam disaster for liberal democracy in the USA.

In honor of this weekends unending discourse lemme dust off the first real thing I wrote for my blog. in-the-pines.ghost.io/on-pearl-sna...

Excellent taste in cats imo

This shit is so bad and wrong at every level, including the meta level, since Lizza has been sitting on all this shit while RFK, Jr. has been taking a bone saw to the medical system, and he's trickling the shit out in dribs and drabs to prop up his subs on the nazi newsletter service. Fucked up.

The only sane outcome of this Lizza/Nuzzi/RFK Jr. stuff is that we as a society put on our muck boots and go do some careful pruning work in the garden of Elite US Journalism with a goddamn flamethrower.
