Nancy and Sluggo going all high-brow, crafting a 🎭 pumpkin

For warm ups at today's martial arts class they used older Taylor Swift songs instead of the usual Thai techno. It felt so funny to shadowbox to Love Story

Today's #nytconnections is highly offal. Like what the hell.

If it took 8 days to build a massive concentration camp in Florida then it means they could build and house the homeless at any point but choose not to

I half-watched Combat Wombat 2 as it was playing in the TV at my buddy's house the other day, and it actually seems pretty sweet in some aspects. Doesn't seem to deserve the full negative ratings I've seen so far but I get where they're coming from, it's a little unevenly paced.

Medikinet feels kinda useless, maybe I should double the dosage or augment it with caffeine. Posting this out to influence my feed algorithm to bring me more ADHD-related content.

I finished a task in about half an hour. I procrastinated on it for about 2-4 working days. I'm actually getting better in managing this adhd or work avoidance thing 🥳

I help with social media stuff for my local charity, and an international non-profit that is in the same mission as ours started using generative AI art in their posts. Do I pinch my nose and like their posts to help boost their message to their viewers? Will that be implicit support of AI art?

Jon Stewart asks: How many gun deaths is too many for the GOP?

Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process. But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things. That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.

Ok maybe I'm being too harsh on the US Army's parade standards. Maybe it's a good thing they chose to half-ass it since it's a thinly veiled birthday party forced by their commander-in-orange. As a former conscript I support half-assing parades, those are a pain. Though Trump deserve no ass at all.

Singapore conducts National Day Parade annually, with a military march segment combined with police, civil defence, civilians, etc. Average budget is min. 15mil USD the past few years. In this video, the military marching segment is around the 00:35:00-1:33:00 mark. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpFR...

Outside looking in to USA, it's encouraging to see record numbers for the protests. However, the world really really REALLY still implore you folks to also show up to the polls on election days with these same kind of numbers and fervour. It's not just your nation at stake, it's the rest of us too.

As a Singaporean who had to go through mandatory conscription, Donald Trump's $45mil parade is hilarious. The bearings and marching standards of the world's most powerful army is so laughable at this event! Singaporean recruits can begrudgingly do better parades with 2 months of underpaid training.

As a side note, this is why many of us have criticized the Gaza campaign. In one night, Israel hit Iran’s air defenses, leadership, top scientists, *and* damaged nuclear sites. They’re elite—and precise—when they want to be.

L.A. TACO has confirmed that ICE has detained two taqueros at Jason’s Tacos , a taco truck specializing in al pastor located on Whittier Boulevard and Bradshawe Street in East Los Angeles. @theglutster.bsky.social reporting for L.A. TACO

I've liked and followed enough art posts from my feed to cause the algorithm to show me even more cool art stuff. I'm glad a technical function of social media finally works well for the user.

Hello Musk and DOGE, I would like to report an area of wasteful government spending, please divert the funding to less frivolous causes, thanks. apnews.com/live/donald-...

Right now, Muslims in Gaza are supposed to be celebrating Eid al-Adha. Instead of feasting, they are starving. Instead of gathering with their loved ones, they are burying their children. Netanyahu and the IDF can end this misery ANY time by agreeing to a ceasefire and allowing aid into Gaza.

AOC: “The girls are fighting, aren’t they?”

Fans of @theonion.com can appreciate this

Rawdogging work without adhd meds for two days in a row. It sucks. And I thought I was still useless when on them, turns out I can always be worse lol

Birds of a feather flock together, inclusively. Happy Pride Month, birbs!

I feel like bringing T.A.C.O. up to Trump himself might be a dangerous move. Him knowing about the mockery might make him think of reversing his reversals. Because that's how kids respond to schoolyard mockery. That said, TACO always. 🌮

Gate guardians protecting a Buddhist-run clinic in Singapore. Keep up the good work, lion friends.

Still slowly (oh so slowly) working my way through Dayspring by @meakoopa.bsky.social. A lot of this book is inscrutable to me because I'm not Catholic but it occasionally knocks the breath out of me with lines like these, so I keep coming back to it.

Me when *insert any news item about politics or capitalism*

this is the way

I was re-listening to the full Toxicity album by System of the Down, right after completing my reservist training (appropriate). It's a 2001 album, yet nothing in the world has changed to make it less relevant. If anything it's even more applicable today. Very depressing how it still holds up.

Today, over 20,000 bee species are buzzing for #WorldBeeDay 🐝 Bees & other pollinators keep 80% of crop and wild flowering plants alive. Yet, 1 in 10 bee, hoverfly, and butterfly species are now at risk of extinction in the EU.

Ow theonion.com/ow/

This silly edit made numbers, so I'm putting it on my profile page. It's a guy from Nancy comics and he's ready to fuckin' murder Sluggo.

I'm baited to beefing with ignorant idiots on Threads again. This is unwise, no? Why do I keep getting baited...

Now I'm wondering if when this stupid post was published by that guy, the cardinals at the Conclave looked at it, then looked at each other in disbelief, and then said, "say, do we happen to have anybody who is from USA AND is also anti-Trump?"

Nooo I didn't decline the single-use plastic bag from the fruit store lady, I feel so environmentally unfriendly now 😔

Once again, I'm pissed off at the America-centricity of today's NYT Connections. Aaarrrrggghhhh. What even is Lick or Paste!?!? Damn you burgers and your weird words!

uh oh what’s the fifth panel gonna be
