If the hottie you're texting ghosts you after the shutdown they were a fed. It's the only rational explanation

I'm pretty sure the purge movies were about congressional budgeting. It's deep lore

It's a little funny that the neocons, after decades of scheming and meeting and writing, are totally out of power. And they lost to a bunch of podcasters and conspiracy grifters. New american century!

The Chinese intelligence officer group chat must be amazing lately

"How will we solve the male loneliness epidemic, how can adult men make friends in this day and age" literally just pick up a brush and buy a warhammer mini, it's not hard

I had a dream about a styrofoam coffee cup that's patterned like an Aztec step pyramid. I'm sad I'll never see one

I don't think we'll ever get another sentence which sums up everything the New York Times embodies quite like "Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians".

starting to think that an increasingly senile trump is being shown a different reality by his aides by making ai videos of shit and telling him it’s real news

the most College Football fact of all time is that the Reveilles are buried in a special cemetery with a scoreboard displaying the score of A&M games

The bees have discovered Brutalism

It's a little interesting that American fascism is totally discarding the modernism of Italian and German fascism. They had industrialization and scientific racism and vitamins. Like there was a vision of a fascist future. This is just slop of unreality

The self-pity in this set of paragraphs is remarkable.

The new most depressing place is r/healthinsurance. It's mostly people confused by the whole process but today it's someone who went to healthcare dot com instead of healthcare dot gov, so they're signed up for a "membership" in something that's not insurance. Too bad our govt doesn't pursue scams

i regret to report "all the flavor you're accustomed to" has become a core part of my lexicon in the last two weeks

this is quickly becoming a load bearing post for me

Nw john wick ballerina. This is the most looney tunes ass film I've ever seen

Diogenes: WHO LIVES IN A BARREL DOWN BY THE SEA? Plato: ... Diogenes: DI-O-GEN-ES

reporter: donald trump has announced that americans must evolve into a race of hardy metal men via mandated injections of liquid mercury. your response? klobuchar: *visibly straining to remember line consultants came up with* donkey kong donald’s economic policies are “bananas” for small business

In which a top US Border Patrol official, incredibly, tells my tall and Anglo colleague @chipmitchell1.bsky.social that he's not the type they're looking for as they go about downtown Chicago arresting people based on "how they look" chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

In honor of Eric Adams dropping out, I'm now resharing my all-time favorite bit of Eric Adams content for years, this thing was like my video from The Ring, where I had to get other people to watch it in order for me to stay alive enjoy www.youtube.com/watch?v=sk2W...

Nw the bears game. They're advertising shows called "sheriff country" and just "FBI". You can have a whole career pitching 30 rock jokes for real I guess

To the 300 Northwestern students refusing to watch US-Israeli propaganda: I applaud your integrity & critical analysis. I may not be able to teach & you may not be able to learn on campus. But we WILL teach & learn throughout the world to make a better future 👊🏾 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

i love ta-nehisi coates so much

Smart move by two young upstate NY reporters: they filed a FOIA for body cameras worn by the sheriff’s deputies at an ICE raid. These are almost always civil raids so there’s no ongoing criminal investigation that would require that footage to stay confidential. Replicable by any media outlet.

Trump at peak cognitive function couldn't embed a video. This is his own staff and minders propagating one of the cruelest fantasies ever concocted by the right. They know it's fake, they know it makes sick people skip chemo and surgery with belief immortality is around the corner. They don't care.

Burger television ass country

Jesus fucking christ lol how is every two-bit shithead in this country somehow connected to Epstein. I mean pedocon theory undefeated obviously but this is getting unreal

The most accurate recreation of DS9 I've seen.

busses are the trains of the road

It's pretty wild to me that investigators have uncovered that anti-trans campaigns are largely funded by the fossil fuel industry, and that the presumed motivations are pretty directly to redirect the public conversation away from climate change... and that this isn't bigger news.

Weird, it seems like social media sites do understand the utility of deplatforming but only for people protesting against nazis

Costco said they're going to stop selling Xboxes. We're going to talk about the cost of Xboxes the way medieval Europeans talked about the value of roman coins

forgive me Father

I think it's an important aspect of rating and reviewing any mecha show to analyse how badly the production crew wanted to fuck the robots

I'm back to pharmacy posting. There are actually 17 people in line and I think there's one pharm tech. Are we just not doing pharmacies in the future?
