@pierogibeast.bsky.social and I have beers and fucking of course big news broke.

pretty over the “I’m liberal BUT (psychotic racist shit)” on local subreddits

Trump's rasputin is absolutely steaming

Just sold three pieces to a friend so must get cracking away in the chain mines this weekend. In the meantime: plenty of stuff on here still! 15% off $45 or more with code NOPRESENTS! And I put some stuff on sale!

RBG’s jurisprudence on native rights is pretty explicitly racist

If you call Naomi Novik a “romantasy author” (?) and sniff that Spinning Silver is merely “the story of a Jewish female Rumplestiltskin” (??) I don’t think I wish to read your huffy little genre fiction take I don’t even LIKE romantasy, like at all, but I haaaate “I skimmed this and it sucks”

“People should listen to me about Mamdani, he’s not that great” I’d be willing to listen to informed critique but unfortunately you sound like a fucking psycho

I’m learnding

I mentioned earlier that they chew on Nile Crocodiles - I wasn't kidding, baby Hippos use them as teething rings since the texture of their scales is satisfying to gum. Just this 12' long razor-toothed archosaur, sitting there going "stay calm, Clarence, you survived the asteroid, you can do this."

A writer should have large square teeth & an ability to eat that makes people feel like they should leave the room

Mamdani is going to bring him that snowglobe that plays "Memories" from CATS and we're going to get government grocery stores nationwide

“Why did Britney Spears/Lindsay Lohan/etc have a breakdown” boy, what a puzzler

why are you making everyone look at Richard Hanania’s tweets. Do you also point out any dead rats you see

Hadn’t listened to This American Life in a while and I get an annoying “isn’t Mormonism quirky” story and then an ad for AI slop. Oh! Great! That’s what I get I suppose

Matt is about as old as me and I’m guessing he’s aiming this at younger people and trying to convince them they missed out on some golden age. So as his fellow elder millennial let me say: he’s lying

I swear sometimes Reddit just wants to infuriate me:

side note: seeing people defend bad transit behavior is so funny to me, like if you left your house you’d realize that nobody likes this shit

My bus driver just called out the people watching videos on speaker and I think we should make him mayor

While I won’t expect many people to watch a three hour video on my niche interest, this is genuinely great: youtu.be/F0WGCGKmpPA?...

40 years ago today the world was introduced to a small boy and his best friend. Happy birthday Calvin & Hobbes.

Made earrings

If you comment “well I think people should just mind their own business!” whenever someone talks about a bad experience on transit I am coming to your house and stealing your transit pass

apart from everything else I’m always struck by how these types seemingly always go to plastic surgeons and beauticians who hate them

Just renewed my monthly sauna membership

Doing some partying on Friday

genuinely don’t understand why anyone still listens to people who were friendly with the Red Scare idiots. If you couldn’t tell this was where their whole thing was headed from the beginning, you are not bright enough to comment on current events

love taking the train and getting hotboxed first thing in the AM, good shit. The whole light rail car reeking of burning plastic is great

Last four chainmail projects, hoping to put some work in this weekend and maybe finish at least one of the four things I started over the past week and change

Every journalist post: hey guys I know you think that we should have said something about the child trafficker who hung out with our boss and emailed with our coworkers, but you guys are making some real journalistphobic assumptions and forcing us to do emotional labor, please examine your attitude.

Eraserhead baby labubu

The "first as tragedy, then as farce" distinction collapsed into itself a while ago so of course the most notorious sex trafficker in history typed like da share Z0ne

I will NOT get into an internet slapfight over “pagan societies were enlightened and matriarchal,” I will NOT

Finally finished this one and of course posted it last night when everyone was posting ten thousand aurora pictures, I’m smart and good at social media

chuck schumer this man is about to write an alternate history novel where you slip in the shower

blurry crap phone camera aurora still makes me happy

People complain about modern media illiteracy but I feel like this ignores the crap analyses of the past. Jane Caputi was writing 20 years ago about how Aliens was a right wing screed about illegal immigration

a website I otherwise quite like published a defense of this as the a natural way to learn reading (“it’s how people learn non phonetic languages”) and boy, was that infuriating

Made new stuff

Sure

me when the AI bubble bursts

Hoping this helps our colleagues across the industry

I love a good reminder that Will Rahmer/Mortician are horrible guys in addition to being an absolutely dogshit band

I went really hard on the “bad vibes only” thing a couple years ago and in retrospect it was such poser shit. Sure, I like a lot of bleak media, but honestly without some beauty or tenderness or a spark of the sublime, here and then what’s the point? All bummers all the time sucks

Still not over getting the note "The protagonist seems like an intelligent and capable woman, so why doesn't she report her rape to the police?"

Hello to my new council member @sorenwithward8.bsky.social , it just occurred to me your name is similar to that of my cat Sauron, and you both have one eye. anyway I’m happy to have voted for you and I’m sure you will serve our ward well, with as much enthusiasm as Sauron guards his catnip pickle

One of the funniest things about getting older is watching people my age succumb to nostalgia about these terrible films.

Ok her surgeon is absolutely doing this on purpose

Writing about Elon Musk’s pay package without leading with this is like profiling John Wayne Gacy’s booming party clown career.
