Distillation of 95% of social media posts: “Unpopular opinion, but the choices you’re making while living your life are horrible, both to yourself and those you care about”

Rereading before immediately reading the recently released sequel. So damn good. For some reason, I’m more into sci-fi as I get older. #themercyofgods #jamessacorey

@kearnsn.bsky.social it’s true, and the best were born in 1983 (us, Skrillex, Jonah Hill, Macklemore)

To our dismay, the artist and author Marjane Satrapi has passed away. As she wrote, ordinary Americans and Iranians have more in common with each other than we do with either of our governments, which have far too much in common with each other. We honor her memory and oppose the war.

2025/2026 Premier League Champions!

Congratulations to Arsenal. League champions.

The Platonic form of New York Times higher education coverage: a featured Sunday op-ed, by Peter Baker's son, about how AI has completely transformed higher education, by which he means "Stanford." 10/10, no notes.

@kearnsn.bsky.social teach the girls to do this. It is akin to us using tire gauge to trap Rosenberg in bathroom

@kearnsn.bsky.social this is pretty fucking funny and I endorse it

Many timeless songs, but also I think they’re pretty known by others. The exception is Bitch, a good dark horse contender. I’d add four more in that vein: Shawn Mullins - Lullaby Jennifer Paige - Crush Merril Bainbridge - Mouth Alana Davis - Crazy

These choices are way too cool for us en masse. Possible actual correct songs, especially when taking into account not escaping millennial containment: Cake - The Distance Sugar Ray - Fly Fountains of Wayne - Stacy’s Mom Dishwalla - Counting Blue Cars

i wonder how everybody is doing in the parallel universe where gwen stefani didn't lose her mind

I can’t express how much I despise him.

A take worth supporting.

Marty Supreme is fine as a movie, a bit too serious given table tennis, but the soundtrack is possibly a top 5 for the 21st century. Up there for me with Phantom Thread, Under the Skin, and The Social Network

……………….YOU’VE GOT YOUR BALL

Also need the official @dieworkwear.bsky.social take on this

if the kids are bringing back the Walkman and smoking we need to keep a close eye on them, they're dangerously close to misplaced nostalgia for the swing revival era and we don't have the economy to withstand a second zoot suit riot.

Our time has come @kearnsn.bsky.social

Tickets AREN’T like vehicles or houses. They’re often one day, few hours of an experience. And there’s a chance your team doesn’t even win the freaking game or the band sounds shitty! We’re priced out of the things we want to experience to LIVE, far harder to scale Mt. Maslow

I’ve always wanted to take my dad to a Bears game. Now that they’re decent and he’s still mobile, figured it’d be the best time we have. Then I checked ticket prices..and it hurts on many levels. No way either of us would want me to pay those prices in any economy. So I guess this is fandom now

Appropriate since snakes do not have arms.

the swag in this video is unreal

if you invented public libraries today, every opinion page in the country would be arguing for means tested subsidized Amazon Prime memberships

getting really tired of this kindergarten brained fixation on Fairness. no fair your kid goes to free preschool when you can afford to go to restaurants sometimes! no fair you use EBT to buy rich tasting food! whence the idea that every fucking thing must be means tested and rationed to death my god

The mask is completely off. You can’t meet these people in the middle. We’re not working toward the same goals. They hate America. They hate democracy. They hate freedom. And they hate you.

Today may be the day @kearnsn.bsky.social becomes fully radicalized

Real ones know many of the later albums @kearnsn.bsky.social

Around 7000 Americans were killed on Iwo Jima and 19,000 wounded, and it was part of a campaign that ended with a nuclear weapon being used, so maybe not the wisest comparison.

I love Brian’s writing style. Of course, everyone should check this one out. “Sometimes, the crassest analysis is the quickest way to the truth.” 🫡

Great album to revisit today. "Hold On Hold On" dazes me every time.

Me, post gallons of Beverly, ready to launch hundreds of bitter burps into the Atlanta night

My liquid love in its natural habitat

My timeline will amplify the words of the brilliant

The only path to truth. Send my soul back to Atlanta

Fucking delicious and I want it in all stores. I will hear no opposition nor will I acknowledge false opinions disputing its excellence. Long live Beverly

Our local utility (AES Indiana) was scheduled to have a community open house this evening, but they are rescheduling it “due to threats.”

Love to wake up and immediately be fucking furious

The last sentence is essential here

Well, maybe we can do some work tomorrow

@kearnsn.bsky.social post and replies all worth your time
