The entire country and the world is being told in order to get along we need to pretend they have a valid point and sacrifice our own freedom, happiness, and lives to appease them. Why would I do that?

The law is salvageable, though, if these people face punishment. They dragged my family through hell despite a jury of our peers saying repeatedly they wouldn't indict protesters. A perversion of justice like this needs to be met with real justice for the prosecutors who broke the law.

When I want to get nerds especially wound up I make the point that all science fiction is actually fantasy. And then to wind up everyone else, I point out that all fiction is actually fantasy.

Is this the future that real artists look forward to online? With AI not only devastating our job markets and stealing our work, but also barraging us with endless accusations that we didn’t create our own work?

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

Y'know what starts today?

“his exact nature has been disputed”

What need has He for milkshakes who has drunk from darker seas? What hunger stirs that formless body, Royal purple, wine-dark, free with smiles too wide, his mouth consuming all whose gluttony is only super-sized by mortal measure. Oblivion, the final grimace, overtakes us all. Not He.

Re: nostalgia for VHS tapes and other analog media, I saw someone say like "a VHS tape never sold my information to a nazi" and yes that's true! But the reason it's true is actually because Congress passed a law in 1988 specifically making it illegal for video stores to sell your rental history

I cannot stress enough how these are PTA moms and soccer coach dads and I can best describe the vibe as “festively bloodthirsty”

So if AI Psychosis is a thing that happens because the human mind breaks when it's trapped by a sycophant who affirms every thought, agrees with every delusion - does this give us a window into what's been happening into the ultra rich , and why they're such broken people?

republicans are in charge of everything and they are getting everything theyve ever wanted and doing everything theyve ever wanted and the world is on fire and the global world order is collapsing. is there a correlation? who can say

LinkedIn is the microfiber of social media. It can be helpful, but it’s horrible to have any physical contact with it.

If you autograph a missile you should be jailed or exiled as the monster you are I'm very aware that this is a bipartisan thing Glorifying munitions is disgusting, especially for people who so often preach that we're supposed to consider every life to be sacred

I’m gonna mute the word “distraction” for the next 72 hours. None of this is a distraction from anything else, the US Government is, and has been, a death cult run by rapists. Every atrocity they commit is its own reward.

In today's episode of Please Stop Talking About Epstein, we turn to SPACE

Babe, wake up, new sarcastic but entirely worthwhile internet abbreviation just dropped

"If someone tells you it is raining and another tells you it is dry, it's not your job to quote them both. It's your job to look out the ****ing window and find out which is true" Jonathan Foster, on journalism

Scott Adams dying at 68 rather than 69 is the perfect capstone to a life of being almost — but not quite — funny

Silverio Villegas Gonzalez was shot & killed by ICE on Sept 12 ICE chased Jaime Alanis off the roof of a greenhouse; he broke his neck & died on July 12 ICE chased Roberto Carlos Montoya Valdez into traffic where he was hit & killed on Aug 14 Josué Castro Rivera was killed the same way on Oct 23

"2026 is not the year we play it safe. It's the year we stop asking if change is possible and start acting like it's necessary." - Robert Arnold @defiance13.bsky.social

I would love to see us lend considerably less oxygen to rage bait in 2026. Like just say no.

Watching dumb guys struggle to handle other men wearing nail polish is so funny. Like, nothing says "manly" quite like being afraid you're going to catch ✨the gay✨ from finger paints.

Remember folks: if you have any small amount of artistic talent, any sex appeal, or can make your friends laugh, the richest man on earth is crying screaming throwing up because he can’t be you.

stop consuming like your personality was written by ChatGPT

be the bitch doing something yourself that you want to see in the world

And I don't know if the answer is: everyone is too traumatized to do work and we need to reinvent society. Or if it's more like: generations are losing their cognitive abilities and willpower due to destructive technologies. Or: we all have post-viral brain damage. Or: all of the above.

If I'm being honest I stopped circling back like 5 years ago

Hey what are the themes discussed in Outer World 2 again?

I was fighting fascism with the power of love and kindness and just really getting my ass handed to me. proteanmag.com/2025/11/01/w...

after millions of views and shares of my Portland Frog art. (thank you all🙏🏾) I got requests to highlight priests, and chickens, and Chicagoans, and T-Rexes, and more… all of us who refuse to bend the knee. so this is for US. 𝚂𝚝𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚃𝚊𝚕𝚕. 𝚆𝚎 𝚆𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚆𝚒𝚗.

Incredible that people would rather live in a higher-crime surveillance state than invest in government services that benefit people they dislike.

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

I just saw a comment that said "I don't support what happened to Charlie, but Charlie supported what happened to Charlie." THAT ... that's what I've been trying to put into words.

I wonder if Christians outraged by the Kirk Utah shooting remember that their theological God was the original "you get what you voted for." If you believe Hell exists, and is devoid of good because that's what a space that is devoid of God IS, and was made for those who didn't want God... welp.

While Elon Musk prepares to sue Apple because he says it’s impossible to get Grok to #1 on the App Store, here’s a picture of me with @bobabria.bsky.social, the sole developer of the app that hit #1 on the App Store yesterday.

“there is nothing I can do for this person except be near them.” a simple, yet profound thing for an animal to intuit. a thing so many humans don’t intuit

I miss when republics declined because of lead pipes or something. instead my culture got digital access to the entirety of human knowledge and went immediately insane

One of my favorite non-open-world games and this thread doesn't even scratch the surface of why

Disability is not a class, it is not a community that should be asked to unite & fend for themselves it is a catch-all for hundreds of states of existence that we either are in, were in, or will be in some day. Disability justice is Your Justice. When people say ‘able-bodied’ they are attacking you
