When you have an audience or a business you have to ensure that you always provide a lot more value to people than you extract from them. If you don't then, long term, it all breaks down. Young people I talk to today...they feel like the whole entire world has broken this contract with them.

My god what a group of unrepentant dweebs

Is this the best joke I've ever made? Maybe.

My weird hot take for the day is that Brutal Bob Evans and Lance Storm look like they're related and you can't convince me otherwise.

Hey I'm late to the party but Dispatch - really good.

💯

The only pie discourse I'm involved in is a nearly 20 year old bit (that I do not recall the origins of) where I insist that @pamcg.bsky.social hates pie

So like I don't really mind self-censorship to get around content blocks on certain platforms (e.g. unalive) because that's just the game that has to be played in order to talk about certain topics that need discussing. When an adult goes out of their way to say "f***" instead of fuck, I lose it.

Nowadays, everybody wanna talk like they got somethin' to say But nothin' comes out when they move their lips Just a bunch of gibberish And motherfuckers act like they forgot about the gunpowder treason and plot.

My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings. Look on my works and let me know if you have any questions! 🤗

I think the Jays would've won if Mattingly had trimmed his sideburns.

Reading a book I'm not gonna name; it's set in contemporary-ish America. I'm half-way through it and was enjoying it till the chapter I just landed on where we got 5 jokes about "woke" aphorisms (I suppose) and a reference to an 18 year old as a millennial. I'm tired, boss.

Hey - I'm willing to admit my thread from earlier was wrong based on this information.

lmao the Coast has fallen OFF.

Ugh. Not saying it's fine but "Man in his 20s picks a skull without knowing it's nazi shit" seems at least *as* likely as "Man in his 20s is a nazi and picks nazi shit". Again, not saying that it's *fine*, I'm saying it could be an honest mistake. Mistakes should still be rectified, mind you. (🧵1/3)

The kind of winning political message that worked so well for Democrats last election cycle.

I like Some More News and their podcasts but hate their ad reads and that is my curse.

Yeah, I don't like Wordpress; this is what I've learned so far. What do you mean I need to have a premium account to change the fucking colours? Get the fuck out of here.

Mostly I need this because otherwise it means creating a fucking blog and I both want and don't want to do that. Fuck, now I'm thinking about making a blog. Fuck.

I need there to be a goodreads for podcasts please. And like I know *some* things exist but I don't need it to be a podcast listening app, I just wanna rate podcasts without being attached to a listening app or Apple. Thanks in advance to you, person who makes this happen.

Recently found out that someone I was friendly with but not super close to is a somewhat closet conservative. I confronted her about this. She told me I was attacking her (I hadn't, I challenged her for sharing a TRULY CRINGE Poilievre video), and then said "agree to disagree should make a comeback"

Just flown in from Riyadh, and boy are my excuses tired

lmao why does this exist

I need someone to challenge The Majority Report on their "well we can't criticize the Rihyad Comedy Festival because the US is also bad" take. It's not the equivalency that they're calling it and it's annoying.

I choose to treat these things as linked, @josie.zone. I don't know how you're colluding with Garfield and the Possums, but I know you are.

Decided LOTR was a good movie series to throw on in the background while I work. I know I'm not the first to make this observation, but Gandalf being blown away that his friend whose name is basically "Evil McVillain" is in league with the BBEG is never not funny to me.

"What, did you want the Conservatives to win?!" They did, motherfucker. They just happen to be wearing red.

Fuck the Carney Libs. Solidarity with CUPW.

Consistency in the Trump administrations is their ability to make me root for international drug companies which icks me out a lot.

OK, can we all, please, stop referring to Trump as "The Orange Toddler" or like "Mango Mussolini" or whatever other cutesy bullshit? It's exhausting and makes him seem less threatening, not more.

Trump is pronouncing "acetaminophen" the right way. by Ezra Klein

This essay, by an Egyptian-American former New Yorker staff fact-checker, is an incredible read And incredibly damning Huge recommendation

Logging on

Liberals are doing the right’s job for it. By lionizing Charlie Kirk and refusing to acknowledge his real political project, they’re giving power to the right’s completely predictable effort to use his death to forward their goal of an authoritarian, fascist state.

This thread said what I wanted to say but better.

I have no sympathy for Charlie Kirk.

Time to stop listening to anything that Ezra Klein fucking says ever now.

Has anyone checked on the oysters of the world? I just worry for them, due to all the pearl clutching that's been happening in the last 12 hours.

I'm no expert on American politics but it seems to me that running moderate cowards in safe seats is foolish.

all the best windows software in history is called something like "joe's thing doer". it does the thing and nothing else and is available on a html website in plain text and takes up under a megabyte of space and uses default windows ui elements and will work until the heat death of the universe

I am willing to admit this style of podcast fills in the role of the dying art of DVD Audio Commentaries. Honestly, if actors/writers/producers wanted to do a straight audio commentary companion thing as a podcast, I'd hate them a lot less.

I miss when TV re-watch podcasts were hosted by people regular folks. I don't really need to hear why the writer and star of a show think that the work they did 20 years ago is the greatest thing since sliced bread. I want to know why Trevor from Iowa loves Dexter despite its flaws.

A thread on my good friend @creativecontrolpw.bsky.social, who deserves the world.

As is usually the case when I have more than one account, this one has been neglected in favour of my wrestling-centric account. Oops?

If Andy Fillmore comes to D2 I will be asking him and David Hendsbee how they sleep at night re: The Davis Cup.

Fucking antivax assholes postering all over my city.

Me when Carney announced pre-election cabinet: It's bad that there's no minister of labour Liberals on Bluesky: IT'S A PRE-ELECTION CABINET, IT DOESN'T MATTER

Jeff Evely is a PPC dweeb who cannot fathom following the edicts of the government. He's also ex-military. So...uhm...yeah.

FUCK you @nationalpost.bsky.social. This is unforgivable, traitorous shit from people claiming to be journalists. How dare you accept this framing from a state that is SLAUGHTERING our colleagues. How DARE you.

Canada's national identity being "We're like the states but not racist!!" continues to be a farce, every fucking day.
