These people all go to rich people megachurches so they have no idea how freaky this looks to normal people

It’s funny: haven’t been to church in yrs, don’t know what to make of my relationship to religion, but somehow still know enough, & still identify enough as Christian, even if just culturally, to find this shit so deeply, personally, viscerally offensive to the teachings of the faith I grew up with

We've ended up, in our late stage of capitalism, with a culture that can only accept material wealth as the signifier of human wholeness. not even just success or virtue, but as soul value as a Human Being. it's just transactions all the way down

It's wild to me that as a yout beefs like this would be super niche, like if UHF channels 38 and 44 got to sniping at each other. You *might* hear about it, but it would be a fun thing that some tapeheads would pass around for yucks, not a mainstream-ish conversation we're all meant to ponder

Darn it Dan, you're breaking up my favorite buddy cop franchise, Bongo & Ka$h?! Maybe Ole Crazy Eyes can pair up with a mischievous orangutan or some sort of sentient robot dog/gun monster

Forget the Ella McCay challenge, let's see the Mickey challenge (ammo optional)

That moment at 3:05 when Fosse applauds Rall- that's peak masculinity right there

Just watched Wake Up Dead Man and, as a someone raised Catholic in the midwest, that elevated catwalk thing is NOT a feature of any church ive ever been dragged to

OFFICIALLY-LICENSED AI GOOFY: Gawrsh, buddy! It seems like you've got it all figured out! All signs points to you being gang-stalked by enough people to fill a theme park! I guess you're going to have to take matters into your own hands, ah-hyuck!

Long ago on the hell site I made long list of historically interesting things to use in dnd ttrpgs and I'll start dragging them over here starting with 2000 years-old sapphire ring presumably belonged to Roman emperor Caligula, depicting his fourth wife Caesonia.

This is a pretty good theory/analysis of Pluribus

If you’re a late middle aged woman laid low with a stomach bug may I suggest a double feature of Weapons (2025) and The Substance (2024). They’re not gonna make you feel ‘better’ but you will forget about sharting for several hours

Bernie has never been on an island, he mistrusts them, he never wants to be more than a ten minute walk from good soup

I saw someone on sports-sky complain that the only way Duke football could get to the ACC championship game is because of made-up tiebreaker rules And my dude, I have news for you. All sports rules are made up. There’s no natural law of curling.

I hate that my anxiety dreams now are largely about my retirement grocery jorb and not about animation deadlines. Wegmans!! You've stolen my true source of inner torment

MGM Tom & Jerry's were the peak of American animation

If you've never been a member of a guild or a union you might not have the experience of direct democracy. It can be frustrating but it's an experience that connects you to the issues that mean something in a way that our current politics denies us overtly

Ive been mucking around on the googles but I can't find a reasonable answer why the Braves Mascot, Homer the Brave, looks like Elon after a ketamine binge. This is a face that longs to roast but just can't

Hakeem Jeffries was literally voting for a resolution condemning socialism while this meeting was taking place

It's believed we've lost the true name for bear in Germanic languages - "bear" roughly means "brown one," a euphemism used instead of the true name because it was believed that saying their true name would summon the bear.

oh my god i take it back, grok is amazing

What a thread. Need a break from *gestures widely*? Curious about the hippo population in Colombia? Lake bacon? Crocodiles as teething rings? Do yourself a favor and just dive in* *provided you can swim faster than 5 mph for an extended period

It's not a foolproof plan but every political debate from now on should be a Normal Guy competition. Ask them to describe grocery shopping in detail. Talk about what it's like to have a friend

From a statement from faith leaders at Broadview this morning: "God does not bless cages. God does not sanction abductions. God demands freedom."

I love this.

I don't know if anyone ever considered this before but I think we should have a left wing party in the United States. Just my opinion

You guys remember that brief shining moment when you could look up some obscure movie in the VideoHound Retriever & order the DVD from Netflix and you could watch any damn thing you wanted without having to sign up for data thieving service

The rich have shamed poor people into silence to such an extent that almost no one knows how absolutely crushing it is to be poor in this country.

a lot of these people gotta learn that the social contract is a truce. if you break it frequently and overtly enough, you will eventually lose the protections that truce once offered.

Gorgeous thread, just a sunset over the fjords kind of Bluesky moment

I don't have words for how angry this makes me. These guys are worse than thugs. They need to be stopped and held accountable. Why are we letting this happen?

One year ago since I released the ¨ANTEDILUVIAN¨ animated short 🥳 I don't rely on a distributor for promoting these kind of niche projects, so I apreciate your help inmenssenly. I have similar animations in the works that I hope I get to finish 😃 thank you all! www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHsz...

I had the same experience while hearing him interviewed on a podcast last year. So right now I'm thrilled, but I'm not yet finding my sea legs in this hopeful reality

Most of my work interactions at my retirement jorb at the Fancy Grocery Store are "these instacart immigrants better learn English!!" My favorite kid: History of pasturization Jamiroquai (funny) Chalmers Johnson's "Blowback" Zero7 and Sia Best ways to prepare greens

i swear to gawd it's like this dink is the world's longest lived Make-A-Wish kid

I don't even know who I'm rooting for anymore. Just more baseball I guess

Just commented to my husband that Max Muncy sounds like a name of a screenwriter blacklisted in the '50s, he countered that Dalton Trumbo is a perfect baseball name

I grew up in Chicago and if this isn't the most iconic Sox fan/Cubs fan dynamic ever captured

reading slaughterhouse 5 for the first time and i was absolutely knocked senseless by this passage, which is so true and relevant that it feels like it was pulled from a history book
