Not real but also perfection

So, Jacob Tierney's (Heated Rivalry) next project is going to be about Alexander of Macedon. This should mean both that his next-next project needs to be about King David AND that Ilya Rozanov is God's third favorite bisexual fuckboi. I don't make the rules. But I do enforce them. Sometimes.

So, anyone else in the EU who had the GenX nightmare of being asleep during nuclear war having a really hard time getting to sleep right now? 'Cause, um. Yeah.

The people who get offended when I call King David "God's favorite bisexual fuckboi" are an entirely different group of people from those who get offended when I call Alexander of Macedon "God's second favorite bisexual fuckboi." This pleases me.

Hey want to help the whistle goblins I print with make more whistles? There are approximately eleventy-billion wishlists here with filament begging to be bought and turned into whistles to deploy to across the country. Buy some filament and help the cause: linktr.ee/WhistleWishl...

Ok. But the Amtrak from MSP to Chicago is gonna be lit, in that case.

Dammit. Now I need some thin mints.

Oh no. Don't throw me into the briar patch, b'rer rabbit.

This is Minneapolis. Literally every corner along Lake St. packed with people holding candles, many singing, honoring a person who by all accounts was an absolute gem of a human, whose life was tragically stolen by a fascist, paramilitary occupation force.

CNN said there's unrest in Minneapolis and there's just not. There's very orderly, organized determination. This is not 2020.

i think the "immigration turns high trust societies into low trust societies" people were already on really shaky ideological ground but now they're watching neighbors helping one another and calling them paid antifa agitators

A-fucking-men. Do not comply in advance.

The sex goods shop going from "we do not have the capacity or the desire for a gloryhole" to having the capacity and desire to run a full blown supply distribution center for the community is incredible stuff

When you succumb to the cynicism, you are helping Trump. He wants you to think that all is lost, that he is all powerful, and that there is nothing we can do. The fight for democracy is hard, but it is worth having. We have shown we can stand tall. We have shown we can win.

...Which MINNEAPOLIS in particular knows REALLY WELL given that we've done this a time or two on the international stage. Recently, even.

Do you know how frickin pissed off you have to make Minnesotans for them to not only NOT help you, but HECKLE you?

School has been cancelled tomorrow and Friday across the city of Minneapolis, because our federal government has made it unsafe for children here.

Hey so, I'm from Mpls and my husband drives a red honda pilot. I work in Egypt, and the picture with the blood on the headrest was the first thing I saw on CNN this am, with no name attached. I had to throw up, call my husband, and then cry. He's alright, but I'm not sure I am.

STOP MAKING ME LIKE THE MPLS MAYOR. HE'S TRASH IN EVERY OTHER CIRCUMSTANCE, I PROMISE.

I keep reposting things with discussions of how close all of this is to my home (physical), but I don't think it matters given how small a city MSP is and how close it is to home (emotional).

3yo: “daddy’s phone is in his pocket!” me: “that’s true!” 3yo: “why isn’t mummy’s phone in her pocket?” me: “… buckle up, kiddo, we’re gonna discuss five hundred years of fashion and misogyny”

We need a rent-a-bubbe service in Judaism. Don't have grandkids? Grandkids don't care about family lore and recipes? Rent yourself out to an adult convert who would KILL for Hanukkah advice and a cholent recipe!

Dear Sean Duffy, I will happily dress up to fly when you can give me leg room and a reasonable assurance I won't be sleeping on the terminal floor because my flight was fucked. Otherwise? It's leggings and a hoodie, and you should be grateful I brushed my hair.

I am now officially three degrees of separation from the pope.

What? No. It's the endless debate about the frog/frogs/spaniards/frog... and thwacking your inlaws with green onions. iykyk.

I was reading a book about the late Roman Empire this week that repeatedly said "A hungry populace is a rebellious populace." And we may be about to find out.

I don't live in New York. I will - God willing - never live in New York. I don't even really want to visit New York. Can I please stop being forced to care who is mayor of New York now?

Why? If you're very lucky, they'll share their recipes with you so you can appreciate stir-friend tomatoes and eggs over rice as the ultimate comfort food, and honestly wouldn't that make everyone's life a little bit better? (Unless you have a nightshade allergy; you folks get a pass.)

The only Paul Revere I'm interested in is a horse. #beastieboys4eva

Does no one else find a "No Kings" protest in the UK (or, frankly, Sweden) kind of ironic? No? Just me then...?

Student media rules. They are lapping a lot of the spineless media orgs this year and showing how solidarity is the way.

How nice of the trees to match the protesters.

@chucktingle.bsky.social , you're about to get a new fan. Or several. (You're welcome, happy to help.)

Reject modernity, embrace tradition.

To say nothing of how obvious it is that none of these people understand what ACTUALLY makes the US military threatening. It's not because of how "lethal" it is, it's because we have perfected the science of putting a shitload of Stuff anywhere on the planet in like a day and a half.

I do not want to enable location services. I do not want to create an account. I do not want to sign up for special offers and news about your product. I would like to engage in a simple transaction where I give you money in exchange for a good.

War ravaged Portland

Things that deeply fucking disturb me: Given his social history and my social history the chances I was fucked up at a party with Curtis Yarvin some time in the late 90s-early 2000s are so close to one as to be indistinguishable, and seriously... can you give your soul a shower? Is that a thing?

The South Korean Ministry of Defense has awarded medals of merit to 11 officers for disobeying direct orders of superiors during the martial law fiasco, orders that they deemed to be contrary to the constitution and endangerment to democracy. www.chosun.com/english/nati...

...unless by 'the gulag' you mean a fuzzy foot stool that we can hide in and stick our heads out of and then go hide some more, in which case, yes please.

The first album I bought for myself was the Pretty Woman soundtrack. On vinyl.

However much you hate your annual gyno appointment, you don’t hate it enough because literally EVERY SINGLE THING ABOUT IT could be less painful, less humiliating, and less poorly designed if any of it had been developed based on actual science and not Man Science.

With this administration it could literally be anything from "We have discovered a source of unlimited clean energy!" to "I saw the worlds cutest guinea pig video, and I need to share!" so how confident can you be that it's a wrong answer?

Someone needs to park under her window with a boom box playing Boney M's "Rasputin" at high volume until she gets a clue.

Just in case anyone else is wondering - because Spotify clearly is - the Kalevala and the Kabbalah? TWO DIFFERENT THINGS.

Rabbi: There is one consistent theme that runs through the Talmud. Me: Demons also study Jewish law. Rabbi: Well, yes, but that’s not what I’m referring to. Me: Palm trees are scary. Rabbi: Please let me finish.

I JUST WANT TO EDIT THE DOCUMENT I WAS EDITING TWENTY MINUTES AGO, STOP TRYING TO HELP ME.
