Similar to my post about "liberation means even for that annoying guy you hate" - weird art includes art you personally don't get, don't like, wouldn't spend money on, find unsettling. Games you wouldn't play. Books you wouldn't read. Decommercialise your preconceptions of what art deserves to exist

📌“The fact that I am American means, among other things, people can’t say, like they did about Francis, ‘he doesn’t understand the United States, he just doesn’t see what’s going on.’ “Do you not see the suffering? Is your conscience not disturbed?” -Pope Leo in a direct rebuke of the hideous Trump

So he's stupid stupid. Great we let utter morons have infinite money.

In 2004, Parisian police were conducting a training exercise in the french catacombs and found, after moving past a desk and a tape playing audio of snarling dogs, a fully functional movie theater and bar. When they returned 3 days later, the equipment was gone, with a note: “Do not try to find us.”

"well then you can't complain" I can complain whenever I want actually. and I will

this is your fucking job that you're being paid to do. Imagine asking your plumber to stop your dishwasher from flooding your apartment and he's like "well what exactly do you want me to do?" The specifics are your part dog idk!

"well what are the Democrats supposed to do" I don't know! They're supposed to know! I'm not the one who sought and obtained a political position that would require me to know what to do when the ruling party attempts to install the President as a dictator!

i think it is fair to request a statement from @jay.bsky.team on TRANS PEOPLE and where we fit in on @bsky.app. i think as a transgender journalist, it's acceptable and makes sense for me to ask this and so, the question, am i not a person as a trans girl and do i not deserve to feel safe here?

I love this image.

These guys have gotten incredibly rich by fleecing the government with subpar tech that was designed for rentseeking rather than performance. A smart Dem agenda item would be to build internal tech capacity. The fact that it would punish these guys is just a silver lining.

My boss: so how's our fourth quarter looking? Me, the sales manager at the company that makes inflatable frog suits: well, you're never going to believe this, but

When your custom character appears in a cut scene

"Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia" should be how Democrats begin every single comment to reporters these days.

Dear youtube, I will always block ads on your webpage, no matter how hard you try to make it. You can fuck all the way off with your antisocial tricks.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy: www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

"IT ABSOLUTELY WILL STOP!!!"

Another day, another dumb-as-hell arxiv paper from that guy who wouldn't know science if it traveled across the galaxy from where it was formed to briefly interact with our solar system.

Open data over everything.

The ICE agents deploying these are people without necessary training, those who couldn’t cut it in police training or didn’t want to join the military. They are in this to hurt people and play Call of Duty on our streets, deploying chemical weapons on our neighbors as if they’re pressing L1.

Breaking news: Sanae Takaichi was elected to lead Japan's governing party, paving the way for her to become the country's first female prime minister.

Having a good time watching the latest @secretsleepoversociety.com vod

I have seen no better theory.

STARVING SAINTS by Caitlin Starling

It is actually peak absurdity that we still have people arguing that voters should bend to the positions of their political representatives instead of the other way around.

Trump is asking us to start choosing groups we're willing to abandon, and the only way to make him stop is to be clear we're not fucking abandoning ANYONE. Call your reps. Call your fucking reps. Especially in red states. Use the @5calls.org app, it's easy and free.

Gotta participate in this year's -tober challenge

Hell yeah that's how I wanna go

National Lawyers Guild of Chicago is a very reliable source with numerous legal observers at protests and meticulous note taking and info gathering. This is how they say things seemed different Saturday at Broadview ICE detention center.

Anyone who votes to end birthright citizenship as it is understood now, in defiance of clear law and the tradition they claim to value? They are voting to create a permanent underclass of rightness, stateless people in the United States. They are voting to bring back slavery.

SOCK DREAMS! I used to make an annual pilgrimage there. The family celebrates a made-up holiday called "Woolly Sock Day". It's just a remembrance of one really good party where we drank mulled cider and read out loud to each other. So we did it every year. And gave each other socks to wear.

The truly perfect business model doesn’t exi-

Got my performance review.

The most accurate recreation of DS9 I've seen.

I hear the President has decreed that it is possibly a crime to refer to Americans as "fascists," but "fascism" is a word that has a relatively clear meaning that's worth understanding. Here's how an official publication of the US Army defined "fascism" in 1945.

Excellent reporting from Heated and Atmos. It looks like some of the biggest investors in the anti-trans movement are fossil fuel billionaires who are trying to use trans issues to ensure that Republicans pass policies favorable to their industry. heated.world/p/fossil-fue...

Vought’s threat all but calls forth Lincoln’s searing argument at Cooper Union: “Plainly stated … you will destroy the Government, unless you be allowed to construe and enforce the Constitution as you please, on all points in dispute between you and us. You will rule or ruin in all events.”

Easy messaging win for Dems, "you can't have [good thing] because Trump is spending $20B to subsidize the failures of some libertarian clown abroad." And, no, Dems shouldn't support it because it's "foreign aid." It's a right-wing clown bailout. Supporting it trivializes and undermines foreign aid.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

You know, I'm not a "property management specialist," but if your assigned parking space plan is resulting in confusion and cars being towed due to miscommunication, perhaps you fucking suck at your job.
