The whole “zomg Minnesota is a mafia state controlled by Democrat-administered Somali welfare fraud” is a bedrock truth in the Fox News Cinematic Universe now.

Ah, yes, the major urban districts like Athens, GA and Lafayette & Bloomington, IN and Madison, WI and Ann Arbor, MI… More like you’re driving through Redstatia and suddenly come across a small burg with an odd number of brewpubs, LGBT weeklies, & indie record stores. You just found the state U.

Conservatives hate universities because they are broke outside the club, liberals think it’s gauche to brag, and foreigners self soothe by making “100 top universities for elite reproduction” lists that ignore the fact that, like, ETH Zurich and Oxford have a lower R&D budget than UW-Madison

The board consists of three semi-literate car dealers who were the state’s top GOP donors. Their top priority is fighting wokeness in the Potato School by putting up a statue of the confederate general who owned the largest potato farm in the state in 1859.

THIS IS WHAT THE GOP WANTS TO TAKE FROM YOU.

Many people have a vested interest in pretending otherwise, but the US research university is globally dominant to an almost unbelievable degree. The typical state university is a football team stapled to a R&D lab with a budget bigger than the entire nation of Belgium.

public meaning originalists are not serious unless they learn dutch you heard it here first

I often talk confidently when posting here but that's as much a character limit thing as anything, really almost everything I say should be accompanied by "to the best of my knowledge" or "as best I can remember." There's not much I would confidently call myself an expert in except making my own art

Tryna rush Littoral Commander: Space Force…

This is the most esoteric form of intra-Nikon snobbery.

And if I can toot my own horn a bit

I got a nice new-to-me lens!

I’m on here, so of course I’m a post punk 🥁

Hi, I'm Julie! After losing my job I moved from North Carolina to be safe in Oregon because I am trans. I am raising money to finish the move. Please share and donate if you can gofund.me/60b1e917 #helpsky #fundsky #MutualAid #MutualAidrequest

People like to blame gerrymandering for much of our political mess, but partisan sorting is real. People move to where they are safer, which makes red states redder and blue states bluer. So, the Senate becomes more fixed, the electoral college more consequential, and more primary outbidding.

That’s like calling a cross-burning “a gathering of locals peacefully expressing their Southron identity.”

Does nobody call McDonald’s “McDo” like it was spelled McDoe or McDough? Weirdest I’ve heard is “MacDonald’s” Anyway does a screencapped post count as a meme? Maybe that is my moral philosophy. If not, Gregor Samsa getting crushed when he drops his phone on his face definitely is.

This is a great article.

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy.

I think the Caddy 'Vettes were cool.

The American Century of Humiliation is off to a dunk-filled start.

one of my dumbest, for you.

Gwen did a fantastic job reporting on what has genuinely become an internal refugee crisis among trans people. I know I complain about Sound Transit and bike infrastructure or whatever a lot but like, making my move to Seattle when I did saved my life.

you guys Elon Musk has racist thoughts about a movie he hasn't seen, let's spend a lot of time taking them seriously

What I am taking from this is that high-info people (anyone working in politics) will never have any clue what motivates no-info people. As the dumbest and most degenerate person ever to run for president, Trump had a unique appeal to no-infos. Everyone else will struggle to recreate this.

36 Republicans voted to keep child brides legal.

*whispers* so far I have found late Canon and Nicca screwmount rangefinders to be every bit the same quality and feel as Leicas, and one of those bodies and a Leica lens is the compromise to make if you're savvy and on a budget.

Surely there is a place on this internet where one could find lovingly-crafted fanfic about just this scenario, right? And BlueSky would know how to find it? Surely there is a "Murder Me Virginia" subreddit? Surely. I hope they are hiring.

Mousecow is comfy in the bathroom today. #EverybodyLovesMousecow

Lost in the news this week: the real story behind Palm Beach International becoming Trump International is not the renaming. It is the coercion that produced it and the extraordinary terms hidden inside the deal.

Gorka posted his way into power. It’s kind of astonishing. He had no academic credibility, no experience in the military or IC, no interagency know-how, no language skills, no insight on CT that wasn’t met by quick derision. Like Pete Hegseth, he ignored convention, went to the cameras, & talked.

Getting as state inspection at a quick place & there is totally a mustang 2 in that bay! #weirdcarbs

When these guys see someone other than a white guy holding a job, they automatically assume that person is a “DEI hire” who is only in that position because of “reverse racism”. Clearly the most qualified people for any gig from politician to pilot are white folk who stand to pee.

tl,dr: Someone posted a picture of a real painting, claimed it was AI, asked people why it wasn't as good as real art and everyone took the bait. It's a great example of the eagerness to mindlessly join online dogpiles... but also says nothing about the validity or lack thereof of AI "art" itself.

All scrolling is doomscrolling if the world sucks enough

I’m sorry, but I just checked the New Testament and it is absolutely silent on the topic of petroleum pipelines.

Top idea/tip. Pretend you've just been on the telly, by putting a bit of Gaffa tape over a logo on your clothing.

Straight up making fun of the guy in public to his face.

Well, I know what’s for lunch today.

So if China gets to slip the blockade, and India gets to slip the blockade, and Russia has a landlink with Iran, who exactly is it that is going to apply 'pressure' to Iran of the kind that will get them to stop, and why isn't that country floating 2-3 MEUs to Iran right now

we got rid of the president of unavoidable high grocery prices to elect the president of avoidable high grocery prices

a) this is disgustingly racist. b) Priest and Christian theologian here, and “Christian values” and indeed Christianity are absolutely not genetically transmitted. c) the only Christian society that has seriously tried to claim it is was Spain post-Reconquista, bc they were disgustingly racist.
