Very fair. The thing that interests me about this is the global stage nature of social media vs local messaging. Americans still think of social media as an American thing and not a thing shared with the world. This, despite local-reveal showing massive amounts of location fraud.

I’m becoming socially conservative in that I’m becoming a real tightass about civic virtue & honor. Fuck your boyfriend & his husband wearing dogsuits in private if you want, I don’t care at all, but I’m becoming pretty humorless about people feeling they have no obligation to any civic project

I love it when we all stay up late having fun together in our jammies with our little snacks

I was present for the birth of the web, the explosion of personal sites, and the blogging revolution, and you know what we never had to do? Beg people to use our shit.

Bath time

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

Warhammer maker Games Workshop has banned the use of AI in its content production and its design process, insisting that none of its senior managers are currently excited about the technology. https://bit.ly/49xT9Xl

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

When you go to protests you’re going to encounter some corny and cringe people you’re not fully aligned with in various ways and I think that’s OK and not something to get Yosemite Sam mad about.

really feels like Becca Good saying “go get some lunch, big boy” is when he snapped. the kind of man who joins ICE is absolutely the kind of man who thinks women should die for saying things like that. they absolutely crash out when we aren’t cowering in fear and making them feel scary & powerful

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

we’re never returning to “normal “ that world is dead and gone we create a new one, or we live in hell

Make it viral.

RFK Jr's HHS had a press call to announce they were — based on no new data — overhauling the childhood vaccine schedule. Senior officials at HHS answered questions but refused to go on the record, saying we could only attribute the quotes to "officials." www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/...

the government should be spending one billion dollars to make a new XCOM game that runs on all systems including ipad

In a study following 23 million people age 18-59 (pretty young) for 4 years…despite the fact that the ones who got the COVID vaccine were overall older and sicker at baseline, they not only had 74% lower risk of dying from COVID than the unvaccinated but 25% lower risk of dying from any other cause!

When you saw one set of footprints, that was Big Foot carrying you. I know him actually, he’s a really nice guy.

Who called them sea monkeys when shrimpanzees was right there?

I think the most straightforward framing that captures the severity of the situation is that the government of the United States has been seized by a mad authoritarian regime not meaningfully distinct from Putin or Kim or, well, Maduro, and its members must be brought to harsh justice

"Well, he's a dictator whose people don't actually want him in charge" is an interesting precedent for this guy to set

im no longer allowed to take my shirt off at the dog show ever since my chest hair won first prize

I feel like I haven’t even been properly lied to about the purposes of this war

hey remember when a bunch of middle-aged drunk korean lawmakers climbed the locked gates to the national assembly to hold an emergency session after the president gave illegal orders to the military, all of which ended with said president being sentenced to prison

They gentrified the tinfoil hat

My man looks like he wears prescription pants

A message for you all to carry through the year

🥂

Our Solar System is orbiting the center of our Galaxy at about 220 km/s so in 2025 we collectively traveled something like 7 billion kilometers across the Milky Way. Once in a while, when you have a moment, it’s worthwhile to take a look around, see where you are, and appreciate how far you’ve come.

The way we need to market this shit is to do what conservatives did for the past 30 years and write books like “The ten forbidden truths you’re not allowed to say on politically correct tv” and then it’s just cities are mostly fine and it’s good to get a flu shot

let’s make 2026 the most sensual year ever

you know who has had it too good for too long in this society? that's right. people who have to take care of other people's kids every day

If you have a billion dollars, you literally have enough money to never have to hear any criticism for the rest of your life. Just because they’re all addicted to going online and getting yelled at isn’t my fucking problem.

Stranger Things weaponized nostalgia, the music is too on the nose, and it’s politically inert. I can accept all that for guilty pleasure watching. What’s bugging me on this watch through is how much it uses flashbacks. It’s so constant and it distracts from the fun parts.

We didn't survive and thrive as a species because we had warriors or hunters - pretty much every omnivore can manage that. We did so because we developed Grandmothers, and domesticated Dogs. Community is what defines us as a species, and every "self-reliant" libertarian shitweasel be damned.

I've been thinking about this sign for 6 months. a phrase I'll treasure forever. a metaphor with boundless potential

You can pretend to have your shit together if you want. They don’t really check

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software. Just fuck you. Fuck you all. I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

Facebook is for people you know but don’t like Bsky is for people you don’t know but do like Group chats are for people you know and do like LinkedIn is for people you don’t know and don’t like

Fine, whatever, this random cat is your new god of the winter solstice

He was despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief.
