brennan lee mulligan is slowly turning into willem dafoe

When you’ve lost the new yorker’s cartoon section…

Thinking back to how people were like “wow marvel villains are so underdeveloped, they just look at the screen, kick a puppy, and say yeah im a bad person” now that so many public figures have done more or less the same thing

The spirit of guy fawkes lives on

Cant believe this has better ratings than some chinese restaurants

this is the ideal male body. You may not like it but this is what peak performance looks like.

spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

Halala at your boy

Coming soon to colorado!

Tag yourself

Really wish I had gotten a better shot of this but holding a phone that says “who else was just ‘following orders’?” up to a riot cop is hard as hell

Tag yourself

ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy

This is actually good spin, or would have been. But the fact that the Democratic cave happened without even a coordinated, agreed-upon message like this indicates the depth of the leadership void.

As I have said before, the broader silence on the ethnic pogrom of terror across this country is one of those things you can’t help noticing from the loudest special boy politics knowers on here.

Coming soon to colorado!

Favorite slang of the day: “煎韭菜” or “cutting chives” Used to refer to institutional investors making profits by betting against retail investors. Chives grow back fast, but inexperienced investors lose money faster

discworld pals! my production of men at arms opened tonight and it went SO WELL!!! we chose a 20s aesthetic for the costuming and sets to avoid mediaeval fantasy greys and browns and it worked out so nicely. I'm so pleased with my cast and crew. 💜

Like the deal on shutdowns since gingrich is “republicans hate people who get government aid and want them to suffer” vs “dems need to decide if letting them starve now or lose benefits and maybe starve later is worse”

5D politica Leveraging american meat politics to make universal lunch more palatable to conservatives by saying “well we‘re only serving vegetarian free lunches”

The median american voter strikes again (rising to the occasion)

Everything around me is campism

SCOOP: China's top 2 gay dating apps, Blued and Finka, became unavailable on app stores over the weekend. Apple confirmed to WIRED that it removed the two apps following "an order from the Cyberspace Administration of China." latest with @lmatsakis.bsky.social

hear me out: victorian strongwomen are an entire beautiful vibe

after learning that I've come to think of the big standalones as the meeting of multiple organizations through mass solidarity? history might prove me wrong but whatever's happening there is interesting

Time to whip out the ol “macro should be taught before micro” take

anyway if dems think I'm gonna forget this shit in 5 months, they're wrong. if they think I'm gonna forget it in 5 years, they're wrong. they have fully convinced me that purging the party of these inept losers in the senate is more important than retaking the senate in the next election cycle

Just go with “bond is a pseudonym/title that goes with the 007 moniker” tbh

there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

Average Catholic--Evangelical conversation

this is an extremely common and well understood surgery, obviously this was not a real number, but what the fuck healthcare costs are an absurd kabuki theater between insurance and providers and no human being can possibly be expected to manage this shit anyone who says otherwise is lying to you

listening to some of their victims tonight made me even more certain that the single best thing any of us can do to bring about justice for DHS is make sure that in three years everybody you know is ready to demand nuremburg type stuff.

Very much worth noting (with thanks to @sarahtaber.bsky.social’s excellent video on the topic) that “farm bankruptcy” is very often not the depression-era image of people losing their generational land but rather well to do landowners discharging their debts (especially post 2019)

Same vibe

the vigil was pretty affecting. it was great to see all the support from a pretty white rural community, for them to hear the story a daughter told of her green-card holding mother being brutalized, knelt on, and interrogated while the DHS guys tried to make them admit her REAL ID was fake

thread. interesting research but also, they named their french LLM Baguettotron i hope it sticks. i hope Baguettotron is the best LLM out there and everyone has to say its name

So every part of this is dumb but the idea that the Iliad is about 'fighting for princesses' is such a vapid take on a work that tells you exactly what it is about in the first (and last) lines. You can tell the poem isn't really about Bryseis because her return does not resolve the conflict.

Same vibe

get ready to tell many more people to their faces, “your ideas are dumb and i think less of you for hearing them”

Each and every donation to the Foodraiser generates $41 in matching funds and there is another overall matcher who will match dollar for dollar for the first $75,000 raised! In other words, even a small donation goes a really long way. Scroll up in the thread below to find the donation links!

BTW if you heard any immigration lawyers quietly celebrating the end of Chevron deference last year the complete and total disrespect the federal circuit courts are now permitted to show the Trump-shaped rubber stamp that is the Board of Immigration Appeals was why. It is such a delight to see
