Smoking looks way cooler than vaping. If you’re gonna be addicted to nicotine you might as well look sick as hell doing it, rather than sucking on a juice box

That’s Smee in the corner

I’ve read this, and it’s great. Get!

No! It’s because I’m disassociating!

"Two million? I've only got a ten. Can you make ch- No? 'Kay, nevermind. I'll be back."

Modern day remake of "The Producers" where a struggling music festival tries to escape its debts by booking Hitler-loving prima donna Kanye West for a performance designed to flop. Much to their horror, the political establishment sanctimoniously unites in support of free speech...

HOW DO YOU HAVE A MISUNDERSTANDING OVER A DIPLOMATIC AGREEMENT? HOW DO BOTH SIDES NOT AGREE TO TERMS WRITTEN ON THE SAME PIECE OF PAPER? I'M LOSING MY MIND.

Nobody assumes the CEO of Toyota must be some sort of brilliant engineer, but we have for some reason developed this collective notion that being a successful tech CEO must make you a tech genius.

“You’re alienating half of your audience by being political” Motherfucker, my “audience” is people who aren’t pieces of shit, who care about others. That’s who I make stuff for. There is no “other half”.

That was fast.

"It is not hope. It is the specific exhaustion of people who have been denied hope for so long that the mere postponement of catastrophe registers as reprieve. We celebrated nothing. We simply exhaled."

We didn't deserve this day.

if you’re feeling as bad as I’m feeling just fyi this account is exclusively videos of someone picking dead leaves off succulents and it helps a little bit www.instagram.com/succulent_as...

Iran gets: the strait the hereditary leader the dead guy wanted withdrawal of enemies to tell the story of how they fought off all of west asia plus USA at the same time and won for the next 100 years to give no nuclear assurances USA gets:

Don’t give him a second chance at another genocide.

Just because he backed off shouldn’t stop efforts to remove him. He is dangerous and cannot be left in power.

The guy is fucking chaos agent. The fate of the world hangs on his wheezy breath, while the rest of us white-knuckle it through this reality, wondering, dreading, his whim that he'll express at any given moment. apnews.com/live/iran-wa...

I’m terrified for them. I don’t think this would even give Hegseth pause

I know people joke that Americans are soft, but I don't know anything harder than fighting a global internationally funded slavery ring. With nothing but your own wits. And winning.

We are not French. They shoot us here. They bomb our neighborhoods. They starve our children. They sterilize people. Wrongfully imprison them. Do you not understand that everything done overseas was done first at home as a practice run?

"Why don't Americans ________?" For the same reason the Russians don't. Or people from any other country where a corrupt government routinely murders citizens.

That doesn't mean that we shouldn't try or that we should give up but we are currently paying for the price for generations of complacency.

We still have to beg people to call their representatives. If we had done things right, no one would have to question if there was going to be a protest in their hometown tonight. Everyone would just know where to show up.

The helplessness that we are feeling today comes from our prior comfort in our Democratic institutions. The infrastructure for organized response by private individuals should have been established during George W. Bush's first term and then been bolstered.

This owns, tbh

Me, opening this post in Korean: it's probably not going to be a positive message, but I should check anyway... [translates it] Me: got me

The Moon: oh wow you guys decided to come back Artemis II crew: earth’s haunted

Even if there is no further escalation (and what has been done is already beyond the pale) the casual fucking threat is more than enough. We recognize the words "I am going to kill you and your entire family" for what they are when it's some random asshole saying them never mind the US president.

Someone with the handle @velocity69.bsky.social is sharing a video with the caption: "The highest quality video of the moon was just released… so beautiful * Artemis II" It's gone viral, but it's not from Artemis II. If you've shared it, you might want to un-share.

A few have suggested that some aspects of this mission--joy, international teamwork, diversity--are being played up to stick it to the hateful attitude of the administration. But I don't think it's that. I think it's just that those things are essential to and inseparable from a mission like this.

Disrespectful to Kobe

there are 214 democrats in the house, put there by millions of voters from coast to coast. they have power. the idea that democrats dont have power is the kind of nonsense people tell each other to excuse the dems role in accelerating the rise of fascism.

cw: comic book musings (a comment 8 made on another platform) Jack Kirby's own wishes notwithstanding: I like the idea of the Eternals being a part of Marvel-proper. (Robo-Hulk always felt like a lame cop-out, btw). But I do wish they were handled better. 1/

Whatever we want to believe about US military might vs. Iran's, we have to at least acknowledge that our record in the region is questionable, at best (if I'm being veeerrry generous), and pure evil, at worst.

The Chicago Pope- Leo XIV - "says military domination is “entirely foreign to the way of Jesus Christ.” ...the pope said that the Christian mission has often been “distorted by a desire for domination, entirely foreign to the way of Jesus Christ.” www.nytimes.com/2026/04/03/w...

The US reportedly waited to strike the bridge in Iran a second time until rescue workers and others in the area gathered to help the wounded, which then killed at least eight people. Authorities in Iran are describing it as an act of terrorism.

Reactionary centrists and republicans spent years smearing, belittling, or dismissing anyone who properly described the Trumpism as a white supremacist project. bsky.app/profile/nbcn...

"We have all the cards, they have none." They have the Strait of Hormuz and your entire administration in a panicked flurry.

A portrait of every being who has ever been alive, their bones and ashes, and their distant, alien descendants who still populate the world The timing of this launch couldn't be better to remind us of how small and precious this planet is

It seems we just bombed some residential buildings in an attempt to kill a former diplomat who was trying to facilitate negotiations. A civilian trying to *end* hostilities, surrounded by other civilians in their homes. We are completely lost.

If you don’t stop in mid-sentence to check a thing and then three hours later you’ve learned the entire history of canned food but not finished the sentence, why even be a writer?!

That’s one hell of a cover…..

the process is part of the work. it’s not supposed to be easy. the effort creates good work. i can’t believe this needs to be explained to people who call themselves journalists.
