"i'm on the struggle bus today" bro i am driving the struggle bus. and if it goes slower than 55 mph it's going to explode

Exactly. It's sending a Benihana chef to interview a live shrimp.

I saw the Wuthering Heights movie and as someone who reviles the book, I was able to enjoy it - I liked the leeches

Hormuz replacement therapy

What in the absolute fuck is this.

Not only is the bombing an unforgivable crime, but what about those people who had to pull the bodies of children from the rubble? They will never be the same and that’s a cost that we don’t seem to count

Quite rare to see a chart that says quite so overtly that no one involved has the slightest clue what’s happening here

why do nerds suddenly appear every time I post here

“masculinity has always had a liege” will stay with me

The server complimented me on how prepared I was when ordering my food and coffee. It’s possible to win at ordering and this is a normal thing to want

shit & postability

I have read Wuthering Heights twice and both times I felt like it was just kink. Someone’s elaborate private fantasy. Feels intrusive to read it.

I'm not trying to add snark. I keep hearing versions of this and think it's useful to consider. Let's assume for the sake of argument that it is true that the lower courts are working. That forcing lawyers for immigrants to prove 4,400 times that the .gov breaking the law is the system working. +

Ok seriously what the hell is going on with these almost identical posts I keep seeing from different accounts? @bsky.app

In terms of what cures are being lost: - Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis - herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis - shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

It's not a new observation at this point but that wild Noem/Lewandowski story in WSJ really brings home the extent to which all the Trump 2 cabinet-level goblins see their jobs as flying private, doing short-form video, and screaming at underlings. They all hate each other and none of them can read.

Some beautiful Mrs. Bennet energy here

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

super bowl ads are always annoying and bad but i think this is the first year they were legitimately Evil

I have agreed to travel to Bath, England to attend a Regency ball this year and now I need a costume that will seem like I didn’t order the cheapest thing on Amazon, and I’m panicking.

I once saw a skeet that was like "I love worldbuilding fiction because creative ppl will literally build whole imaginary societies just to talk about their fetishes and hyperfixations, it's all a huge self-report" And If a skeet could stab you in the heart, man

Why is it that I just get rubbed the wrong way by Bridgerton? Like every single character bugs me. But especially Eloise! Am I an old grouch now?

I dreamed I was @jamellebouie.net ‘s manager and had to tell him to stop making videos during his shift at my library, even though I love his videos and think they are so important for this moment, but I had to tell him no more videos on work time. And he got mad at me. I woke up devastated, lol

We as a society need to confront how I’m supposed to know that I’m allergic to Skyrizi before I ever take Skyrizi

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

The world factbook was an invaluable resource in asylum petitions—a place where the federal government acknowledged in writing that, for example, Tibetans face systematic repression in China. I don’t like to have it vanish.

DOCTOR: I told him he needed to get out to a show, that was how he would cure his depression. CHOTINER: So you learned this technique in school? DR: No, not— listen it was good advice. Pagliacci was in town. C: Right. Is it standard to give advice before learning a patient’s name? DR: Now look

For decades the Right has daydreamed about saving their country from monsters, they finally got the chance and it turns out they love the monsters. The monsters are even monstrous in the exact ways they fantasized about! You never have to listen to these guys about anything again

Tens of thousands have taken to the streets in Minneapolis, protesting and striking against ICE’s occupation. @mercadomedia.bsky.social

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

“Every good thing you have in your life is a product of someone else’s struggle.”

people prob gonna get worked up about other stuff here but please understand: this is what hotel rooms were supposed to look like. we have lost our way

IMO the president should not be allowed to sic his own lawyers against government lawyers who at this point are also just his lawyers in order to steal the annual GDP of a small country from American taxpayers.

Bari Weiss Claims Ideological Diversity Begins And Ends With Her

SHAHEEN: It's been reported that the oil sold for $500 million and $300 million went to Venezuelan government. What happened to the other $200 million? RUBIO: It's still sitting in the account is my understanding SHAHEEN: The account in Qatar? RUBIO: Yes

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Gosh, next thing you know, they'll say the same thing about Elon Musk and Twitter

There has to be a word beyond outrage for when this loathsome, lying pack of slovenly frauds uses a Web 2.0 version of the Klan to publicly butcher the best humanity has to offer and then dare you to question their right to do it and laugh in your face about it

Hey these two posts I just saw, urging people to “fight back,” are identical. Are these multiple bots trying to support violence over peaceful protest? This feels like what I used to see on Twitter. @bsky.app

Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics

The guy that runs the Reddit where people post about patting their cat on the butt like bongos has put his foot down

Mood in minneapolis right now

Beyond the obvious need for tribunals for the crimes Noem and others have committed and enabled, bringing shame back seems fundamental to the enterprise of rebuilding this country. No society can survive without a general understanding that this kind of shameless lying is unacceptable.

Q: They defied a search warrant this morning. Do you think they'll abide by a federal court order? FREY: Everybody listen to that question. The question is 'will this administration abide by a court order.' These are the underpinnings of our democracy and Constitution. The answer better be yes.
