Also this is the OPENING MONOLOGUE BANGER (essentially). The video essay is brimming with insight and a analysis and other great moments. Go watch and catch 'em all. youtu.be/jgOSjTwSVfU?...

@princesmweekes.bsky.social saying that "AI could never give us this" after experiencing emotional catharsis while dancing around to the 1997 Silver Springs live performance is so startlingly profound. Dare I say, AI could never give us that either.

“The fact that organized protest can break the spiral of silence, and correct our impressions of what other Americans think, is one of the most immediate and important values of protesting in the first place. Scientists have [shown] protests update our impressions of what other citizens believe.”

trying to make macarons tonight unless they go horribly in which case no i didnt .

First time making raspberry jam was not the worst and we are thankful for that

My man, you are 79 years old and well experienced in the arts and entertainment industry. Have you never encountered a bad actor who makes one thing and does another, or heard of someone becoming BATSHIT INSANE and DOUBLING DOWN? Perhaps you could have a look at ALMOST EVERYTHING that is happening?

'measles outbreak at the child prison' seems entirely avoidable, it's really the kind of thing that only happens if you do several unthinkably evil things on purpose all at once

the absolute pure joy of making whipped cream and letting your son lick the spoon when you're done. GODDAMMIT WHY ARE YOU SO CUUUUTE.

I come on here, post about video essays and/or baking and then I leave.

Absolute chef's kiss of a video from @princesmweekes.bsky.social on how the marketing of recently published books raises a hell of a bunch of red flags. She's also donating ad revenue from the video! Give it a watch and ~learn~ youtu.be/JeWrB2J6k3E?...

Taking a break from the Showgirl era to watch the new @princesmweekes.bsky.social video...because I contain multitudes

baking updates: 1. i have my mom's biscotti recipe and it is so much fun to make different flavored treats with it 2. my coworker said she ate 3 of the espresso chocolate dipped ones i made 3. baking is really fun (may have already covered this)

Playing an alphabet game at breakfast "Ok what starts with 'f'"?-Me "Oh, well, a bad word does. Dad, what's that word you always say when something goes wrong?"-Arthur

Every one of these covid-revisionism pieces consists of people lying to your face about events that you remember www.persuasion.community/p/frances-le...

The thing to remember about Andrew Cuomo's breakfast order is that he resigned the governorship in disgrace after being credibly accused of sexually harassing at least 11 women with unwanted groping, kissing and sexual comments

"Hooray! Go @izball.bsky.social @lilydu.bsky.social and @erikaishii.bsky.social ! We love you! You're gonna get a lightsaber!!" -My 4 year old after watching the most recent @gamechangershow.bsky.social . I'm a good parent. #gamechangerspoilers

driving to the corner store to get sugar because my dumb ass thought we had enough to make cookies

Bro they lobotomized your aunt

what's kinda fun about thumbprint cookies is that you can add anything to the middle. i made some flavored with a bit of lemon and then added lemon curd in the middle and they're WONDERFUL.

Remember when I said I'd just do posts about baking? Well: Thumbprint cookies are harder than I expected LMAO (or maybe I was tired)

My son got 3 shots at the doctor today. After each one: "Ow, that hurts, I don't like that."

I am not a horror watcher, but you better believe I will be a horror discourse enjoyer. Take me away @princesmweekes.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAmS... (for the educated, well-read, big-brained, lil freaks, etc.)

Again: do not accept anything less than this from any of them

Imo lawyers should treat the birthright citizenship case as a test of their entire profession’s legitimacy. If the courts let Trump flagrantly violate the fourteenth amendment a second time, it becomes even harder to avoid the conclusion they’re a rogue branch of government.

it's cool how largescale digital communications channels being almost entirely privatized has lead to people being in psychological hostage situations with billion dollar corporations in Actuality, and not just Metaphor

i think it’s cool that the government is run by people who would embarrass jefferson davis

Shout out to my beautiful little @peterparkleys.bsky.social you matter and you're important

this sort of naked cynicism is jarring, but you’re going to see more of it because this is how kleptocracy works. it makes groveling and sycophancy the rational choice, because it will very often be rewarded.

TikTok shut itself down as part of a pro-Trump propaganda campaign. The likelihood of a quid-pro-quo with Trump is extremely high. Using TikTok will mean being propagandized with pro-Trump messages over the next four years. You are not immune to propaganda!

From a FB post. Hey California friends…my friend’s dog sanctuary in Topanga has burned to the ground. 30 dogs looking for fosters ASAP. Please contact me if you can help, even help for a temporary basis it would do so much . Please call or text me on 248 520 0054

@princesmweekes.bsky.social goddammit why mention teen wolf and scott mccall as a jumpscare (emotional) during the girls video...if you know how i felt!!!

“kids keep living past the age of 5, because of woke” - a substantial chunk of the american public

"A reactionary explains how he voted for an authoritarian"

This is what segregationists said about media depicting blacks as normal or interracial relationships as ok

Some men’s favorite thing to do is be disappointing.

Finally read that WSJ article from last week and this confirms everything I suspected.

You’re laughing? Americas greatest criminal is named Matthew Spaghetti and you’re laughing?

people think that Ai generated results come from some magical computer spirit that they are too dumb to understand. no, tech bros are exploiting people.

I made chocolate shortbread cookies and they are, imo, very good. What if my bsky was just about vague baking related tweets instead of whatever I did on the bird app

Again, there are 40 men currently on federal death row, a number of whom will certainly be executed under Trump, whose sentences Biden has the power to commute. Make sure he knows they're waiting to hear from him, too.

Huge piece of something fell off a garbage truck and cracked my windshield 🫥🫠🙃

My grandma walked away with the majority of the lemon shortbread cookies I made adsksjs

Looooved this (no one is surprised)
