I was so excited when I saw this flyer, I thought "finally, my time to shine" and the fuckin QR code doesn't work )-: pls... My moment...

but the charts! the charts!!!

An old roommate of mine genuinely believed that if everyone just did psychedelics, they would grasp the oneness of humanity and feel called to the service of the larger community. He never helped around the house and left cat shit smeared all over one of our couches. I think about that a lot.

Me: so what are you, like, into? Shelob: [hissing, knocking over table setting, baring fangs] Me: that’s so cool, I’ve never tried hobbit. You’re such a gourmet [to server] yeah two more glasses would be fantastic

@scumbelievable.bsky.social said this to me the other day, but some people think feminism is making sure “woman” and “yucky” are never mentally adjacent

Capitalism lives in the eternal "now". It doesn't want you to know about history, it doesn't want you to know art has existed for tens of thousands of years, it wants you slavering for whatever's coming NEXT, whatever's HOT and NEW, and ignoring everything else. You do not have to do this.

A reminder that in the 1960s, the tax rate for people making over $400,000 a year (roughly $4.5 million today) was 91%. It was 84.357% in the MAGA much-beloved 1950s.

"let people enjoy things" well i enjoy rigorous cultural criticism how about that

congratulations to extremely skinny blonde women for being Back up in the culture!!!!!!! that was probably a scary couple of months for you a few yeas ago huh

The shifting of goal posts toward "you can't say you don't like me, it's illegal not to like me" by tech people is in some ways the saddest thing I've ever seen and in others the most infuriating waste of our collective time and energy imaginable and a truly grotesque intrusion on our lives.

[barely listening, nodding] Exactly, the Hellraiser video game should be a Cotton family dating sim.

All economic reporting is like

Magic Mike, Ranged DPS Mike, Healing Mike, Melee Battlefield Control Mike

It's a terrifying, enraging day in a long line of other terrifying, enraging days, and I don't want to tell anyone how to feel. That said, if I see one more "But what is [Member of US Congress] supposed to do about it, huh?" reply on here I'm gonna go out in the yard and get me a switch.

"Barnyard animal" is crazy

this is turning out to be one of the onion's all-time classics

Listen up liberal,

This is not a productive thought but I would like to build hell and put all these fucking freaks inside it.

MOMOA: I dream sometimes of steel piercing my flesh, of love and loyalty I no longer possess... or is that the only time I'm awake? PATTINSON: (horrible Donald Duck impersonation) GEEEEEE WHIZ

oh right, birth is suffering, aging is suffering, illness is suffering, death is suffering; union with what is displeasing is suffering; separation from what is pleasing is suffering; not to get what one wants is suffering; in brief, the five aggregates subject to clinging are suffering

slavery is one of the rare things historically where the more you learn about it the more you realize your initial assessment was correct and it was in fact one of the most evil things ever to occur

This is 100 percent true and every single person who laments the loss of the antebellum South in any way should be forced to read firsthand accounts of what planters did to enslaved people with their eyeballs pinned open until reality sets in

i often think about this review

Your pronoun circle will be legendary, even in Hell.

PINHEAD: You opened the box... we came. Now your accountability process begins...

Sniveling defense of spineless, ghoulish elites currying favor with a monstrously wealthy convicted pedophile and known serial sex trafficker. You're weak and you have no beliefs.

It's easy not to grovel to corrupt power brokers. You just have to be a human being with principles.

Rowling's people inviting Epstein to a dinner and a performance of The Cursed Child, long after he was convicted of child sexual abuse... exquisite.

woman moment (laudatory)

Frankly, if you frame life as men bad and women good, you’re basically begging to get hurt by other women as they perpetuate the structures of misogyny against you, while also preventing yourself from finding love with men, who can actually be really lovely (including cis men).

We take our victories where we can find them

Tear this whole rotten party to the ground.

never not thinking about the lioness devouring a boy

please god put them all in the same place, just for a few hours. we'll figure out the rest.

Bret, just say "white power". This is taking forever.

If the average American could read a book, and ever read a book on the history of Korea and the United States' involvement in the history of the nation, I like to think they'd feel such intense shame that their heads would explode Scanners style, if the average American could experience shame

In terms of what’s understood to be socially acceptable behavior, normalizing the filming/taking pictures of people in public who are minding their own business (and putting it online) is one of the worst developments of the past 15 years.

Bob Crumb coming out of retirement just to say "RFK Jr. is right about vaccines and my ex-wife should've taken more advice from me" is such a fitting end to Boomer Americana and everything the "alt-comix" movement claimed to stand for

Chiropractors and homeopaths are at best deluded shmucks endangering their patients with useless/dangerous hokum, and at worst malicious parasites destroying the lives and bodies of people in their care for money.

Love you, you old weirdo. Rest easy.

"Gork, is this true?" - me asking Sebastian Gorka a question

if simply associating with depraved pedophiles is enough to get a professor fired how is anyone ever going to learn economics

fellas is it a conspiracy to remember events that happened

The fix is in
