I've never had a bad experience ordering a sandwich from an old dude behind the cash register at a little corner store/fry shop/cigarette stand

This is so pure and good

What's so frustrating is reading this: "First elected to political office at 27, Mr. Cohen is a strong, and at times bluntly eccentric, politician in Memphis." So many of the elderly incumbents were young when they started, but refuse to let others have the same. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/01/u...

Yes, famously, no country except Israel has ever had to defend its existence, says Israeli media, somehow with absolutely no irony Brb going to go tell, say, Lebanon, Palestine, Ukraine, Sudan, Congo, Yemen, Syria, and every Indigenous nation that no one is threatening their existence

Now if they were danish or afrikaner billionaires it would be fine bsky.app/profile/atru...

ive been saying for years that fast food and access to cheap gas and taxis should not be a cornerstone of leftist policies and we should instead be treating convenience services as a luxury, not a foundation of american life but nobody wants to fucking listen

“Republicans want to get their hands on kids”

I ultimately chose to be done with having to say someone who's not working for me is so that I can have a status, because if people think you're taken, new opportunities can't come, & I think if I'm open about not having an agent & discussing the journey to find one I'm putting myself out there.

When you combine this case with Skrmetti, the Supreme Court has initiated a regime where states can ban medical care to affirm trans youth while states cannot ban efforts to engage in conversion therapy on trans youth. This court is such a joke.

Apparently Justice Jackson is the only person on SCOTUS smart enough or caring enough to recognize that prohibiting medical providers from discriminating against, lying to, or torturing their patients is BAD

Detainees and families dial 311 to report freezing cells, hallucinations and denied medical care. Many complaints are routed as “customer comments” and vanish without action. www.thecity.nyc/2026/03/31/r...

So you know how we heard Israel is executing Palestinian prisoners? Alaa's husband is one of them! She just gave birth to their newest child & now she has to deal with this. Connect the headlines to the real people they affect! And if you want to make real world impact, you can by supporting Alaa!

he's back

starts a brand new war and creates a brand new problem for absolutely no reason, lmfao

"men continued to publish the same number of papers after becoming fathers, women experienced a significant drop in research output (mothers had 31% fewer publications than did fathers 8 years after the birth of their first child)"

What a writer thinks ISN’T political is always a huge tell. Even something as straightforwardly man vs nature as To Build A Fire is about toxic masculinity—“Any man who was a man could travel alone.”

NO! NO! NOOOOO! How did we get here?! It’s too many people at fault. The families raising men who shit in the sink, the women who think they have to accept a man that shits in a sink, the man who’s grown & hasn’t figured out shit doesn’t go in the sink! Noooooo!

bold move when they’re already having trouble with military enlistment

Cops are not legally required, per the supreme court, to protect people OR prevent crime. They literally only exist to punish "criminals", which they get to define with zero external oversight.

The extended back alley fight scene in They Live but he’s trying to remove his meta glasses

I want to do things to people who defended this settler colony to me that I can’t type because I’ll get suspended.

IMO one of the most useful ways to think about LLM use-cases is "Would someone in Star Trek use the ship's computer to do this? If they did, would the episode be about how that's a lame thing to do?"

I used to be all "social commentary is fine, I just don't need to be hit over the head with it", but more and more I am realizing people need to be hit over the head with it 🤦‍♂️

“I’m a lifelong fan of musical theater, but it’s always bothered me that they feel the need to sing all the time. I just want to see them walk around the stage and talk calmly to each other”

This is all democrats can do. This is it. They can't actually hold these companies accountable or take them to task, all they can do is increase policing and say "there, fixed." This is because anything else would require dems to actually harm a billionaire which they will never do

Leaf-mimicking katydids like this Cycloptera speculata are among my favorite to encounter when I visit the Ecuadorian Amazon. They really look and behave like a leaf, and if that's not enough they also show a high degree of color pattern variation to depict leaf damage like holes and sunburn marks.

Matthew 6:5 is _literally_ against this: "And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full."

That's not what j pilled means, NYT. It's a deeply antisemitic term that means someone is awakened to antisemitic beliefs that Jews secretly run the government and they must be removed from the United States. The NYT is laundering white supremacist terms.

Every scifi franchise that lasts long enough, turns into a homogeneous slurry of narrative meaninglessness and contrived retconning to appease like, a dozen extremely loud nerds. There will *always* be stuff some guy is demanding to be explained. Good stories don't listen to that asshole.

wouldn't it be funny if EVERYONE blocked this Attie AI account @ bsky.app/profile/atti... before they could do anything with it

one of the funniest things about being the first person in your family with an ADHD diagnosis is that it's hereditary

The main character also falls in with a bad crowd, and they tie a policeman to a bear, and then push the bear (who can swim) into the river, which even the society ladies find funny

All anyone has to do to defeat trump is to literally listen to the words he says out loud every day, and react accordingly. Iran apparently understands this better than anyone in the US, and it's very funny

Here's one way to speak to Bluesky developers who are pretty determined not to listen

Amen

"can't we find someone who's cool enough to make everybody excited for us without ever criticizing us or breaking away from the party line in any way" no! sorry!

Bluesky has to be one of the funniest social media sites ever because the people here are literally in here because twitter sucks and we all want Elon Musk to turn into ash baby jpg while every single management person at bluesky looks at this and goes hm what if I did the thing these ppl hate most

FOIA records obtained by @typeinvestigations.org and In These Times raise questions about evidence in the federal Prairieland trial, where prosecutors argued “antifa” was a terrorist enterprise. @adamfederman.bsky.social reports.

lol this is gonna burst so fucking hard

the centrist move that never gets named: they *know* the actual right. they work with them, fundraise with them, vacation with them. punching left isn't confusion about who the enemy is. it's a choice about who they'd rather keep as neighbors.

i think what we're seeing is a party that has largely bought the idea that the Democratic Party brand is too feminine, too Black, and too queer, and that it's losses with the white working class are a product of bigotry, and so they must forcefully go to the right and superkick the super woke left

The thing that pisses me off is that neoliberalism isn't even the fun kind of liberalism that builds libraries and big dams and lands on the fucking moon, it's the WORST kind of liberalism!

Stay woke! 🖖🏼

People getting mad about the Harkness Test are the absolute funniest thing to me, as a furry SF/F fan. You're literally getting mad over something a crowd full of normies cheered for when Baldur's Gate 3 trailer showed that you could have sex with a druid Wild Shaped into a bear.

Not just Daredevil but also Paramount with Star Trek Discovery & Academy and Amazon with Invincible. The latter is even more pathetic considering the relentless gory violence but not a stray nipple in sight. US has a peculiar relationship with the gun cf the dick; the former replacing the latter.
