There's this Beaver County joint I never went to growing up, but was supposedly a big deal, and they've been posting BONKERS ads with their staff as AI creatures and it's genuinely terrifying.

"Ninotchka, it's BlueSky! One half of your feed has blocked the other half over their AI takes!"

I’m astonished on a daily basis how all it took was a guy like Trump to turn the entire Republican Party into a mob of simpering yes-men. It’s like the GOP is the party for racists with daddy issues.

It’s hard to overstate how much of this moment is driven by people who got a taste of accountability and were very, very mad about it.

Yep, this is kinda what I predicted would happen. But why aren't dems just reopening the house?

"I'm a Cuckoo" might low-key be the most pathetic and self-loathing Belle and Sebastian song in a sea of pathetic and self-loathing Belle and Sebastian songs (this is my favorite band)

We need more My Lai sorts of interviews to really lay bare how dangerous and evil and well, awfully stupid this admin's military leadership has become

Nobody I know, including me, leaves their phone in a state that it actually *buzzes* all day, let alone rings. Nobody. None. Even people who answer their phone answer a silent popup, and only if they happen to see it. Truly, we are all living in different worlds.

I will not add gold to my frapp; gold is expensive, and it neither enhances the flavor of dairy, nor cappuccino

Best Star Trek crew, wrong answers only.

Star Trek: Lower Decks lasted longer than the confederacy

Pittsburgh's City Council voted unanimously this week to formally codify its refusal to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement. This is bigger than a symbolic gesture, here's what it actually does and why it matters. 🧵

As warmonger Fetterman once again horrifies us, remember that his stance on Israel hasn't changed since we voted. This is from 2022. The stroke made him run his mouth more, but he didn't change much; the Fetterman some people seem to remember stanning just never existed.

"Teapot Dome? Ha ha ha ... sit down and listen, you dumb sons of bitches, because you're thinking too *small*."

You're gonna see some burned draft cards on TikTok if they still print them.

After posting this, I realized that Julie Newmar always should have been my avatar in the first place.

Explaining to my followers why my posts aren’t that good

"Other countries are our property, and we dictate their behavior. You know, like women in marriage."

OK this is toward the bottom of a long, wild thread, but this is where it took me and I do believe this is happening.

My takeaway here is, papacy aside: They threatened (by proxy) a guy from Chicago And they thought it would go well They are so fucking bad at everything

so far in hungary, Vance has stumped for a kleptocratic dictator, regurgitated putinist propaganda, and is now indulging the gutter racism of his hosts. it really is an unvarnished look at what the ideological character of the trump regime is.

We've been riding my friend for years with a sorta Grink-level joke about the time a bee "came at him" on the street, and we were like "Did he intimidate you by continually insisting, I'm A Bee, I'm a Bee?"

I am struggling to think of a comic that was intended to be funny, but was less funny than Garfield. Drabble? It might just be Drabble.

Me: We're coming into Vegas too late to see Steven Flowe wrestle at Juggalo Stranglemania Anyone I have said this to: You skipping meds? Do you need a hand?

This is somehow not an Opinion column, which is very good

It's pretty well known how betrayed I feel by my neighbors -- I've caught some blocklists for it, anyway -- but I can't look backward on it forever. I have to believe some lessons were learned, even as the freakouts continue. But I hate that we won't know until a couple of faraway Novembers.

One day, all these Jafars are gonna come running to us and tell us that the Sultan used his Cobra Staff to trick them, and we will remind them that we watched the fuckin movie

I have encountered and engaged with many Trump supporters, hearing them patiently out each time: and every single one of them, whether beneath a veneer of politeness or not, exhibited a fundamental spite and meanness about their fellow human beings that I found horrifying.

THIS SUMS IT UP AS WELL AS ANYONE CAN:

I almost went to bed without celebrating Misfit Day!

"Never Recover"

You ever just want to run the entire length of a football field and kick someone in the dick on the other side It's like every three minutes for me on this app, today You all have a blessed evening

Are like *way* more people on behavior-annihilating drugs than I'm aware of?

I just saw an ad for some horrendous freak named Camera whose entire campaign is "Approves of everything Trump does," and look, pal, I don't that's gonna work out for you even in Pennsylvania.

A shark must Poast, even when it sleeps, or it will die

If he tries to take communion, weave away from him to the next person and leave him sobbing in the aisle. Let Mel Gibson give him communion.

I decided many years ago -- God help me, while watching Star Trek V, of all things -- that the proper thing to do in the face of Armageddon is to look it in the eye and say, "Excuse me ... could you maybe fucking *explain*?" even if I die in the process. And that is always going to be my reaction.

This is the truest way to put it. Congress is supposed to be its own, independent body, and *never* -- NEVER -- an extension of the Executive. Yeah, they can agree, but they are acting as if they're his cabinet. That is fucked up!

I have been to Washington, D.C. four times in my life, which is more thanost Americans. There is no reasonable way for me to get there and back. We all live extremely far apart and you don't seem to give a fuck when we protest locally and neither do our leaders.

I'm like a hair's breadth from fedposting about people who are *on our side*, let alone the ones who aren't. People are fucking broken and need to log off* *I, too, am People.

Georgia Voter: It's giving war crime. You can't do that. We don't just annihilate people because we can and, you know, make a grab for the money and the oil. And that's what we've done in Venezuela. And that's what we're doing in Iran.

One thing I've learned today that I didn't expect is how many people (so many) would also bronco bust a nuke on the way down.

US Republicans have taken everyone in the world's ability to live our lives from day to day, and I truly believe that's an unforgivable human rights violation on its own.

And what'll happened will happen regardless of whether one catastrophizes or not. Whipping up your anxiety in advance isn't going to make things easier if the worst case scenario does happen. Unless you're a Republican in Congress or a cabinet member there's nothing you can do except wait.

We need to have a serious talk on social media about the difference between - Welcoming a thing - Wanting a thing - Expecting a thing - Demanding a thing All that shit I would welcome things I don't want to happen. I expect things I would not welcome. I demand things I don't expect.

"If there *is* a tornado, what the hell am I going to do about it?" -- my grandmother, with advice I can never forget

I have been in tense scenarios with little time to act, where I was getting in my own way and everyone else's, and I've been told, rightfully, to shut the fuck up and sit down -- and lots of people need to learn when that's the right response, whether from them or *for* them.

the option on the table right now is "vote" that may not be the only option as Things Develop, but the main characters of the internet do not decide that

I do not actually think we are all going to die in nuclear hellfire because the lies president screamed something on his blog but if I did believe that I would not spend my last day on this earth yelling at democrats.
