scene: me w an early homo sapiens dragged here w time machine HS: You in sun cave and you run in one place to thump sound for long time? Me: That's right. It's called a "gym" HS: You run but no chase food? Me: We run to get rid of too much food. HS: Where predators? Me: The men HS: Me like here

Chatterton himself, who seems cursed by the gods to repeat in the public square, as a blandishment to the powerful, the one same idiocy for all his life, is kind of a mythic figure at this point.

Omg

one thing that I like about Nothing Bundt Cakes is that every cake looks like it has a facehugger attached

"Let us die to make men free" gets the attention on here, but don't sleep on "I have read the good news of the word of God written in rows of rifles: the vengeance you mete to slavers shall be repaid by Me with grace to you, crush them beneath your heel as Christ did the devil"

Whomst amongst us hasn't skipped a family wedding to pretend we're being killed

"nobody wants to work anymore" oh wow maybe cause it's illegal??

We all literally, LITERALLY just watched NASA fly four absolute all-stars the farthest any human has ever been from Earth and back flawlessly, and yet we're still continuously forced to pretend Musk's bullshit catastrophe factory is the future of human space exploration

Love it: the night after he was kicked off of CBS for good, Stephen Colbert hosted a public access show in southeast Michigan.

"my cats did not go to your posh cat schools" is the best thing I've read today

Recall: Dems hung tough on no funding for ICE & BP, Rs caved and passed rest of DHS and decided to do ICE and BP via reconciliation. Trump wanted ballroom then slush fund, couldn’t work it out, & here we are. Lesson for Dems: Hanging tough put pressure on Rs, -> Rs in disarray.

KAT WON. FUCK ICE.

new conspiracy theory: Trump started the war to get out of going to his son's wedding

I was on The Late Show in Jan 2016, Stephen's first "live" show. It was a real highlight of my life moment. He was kind, sweet, and nerd out level excited to meet a real archaeologist. I even "got" him with a map of Tanis (yes that moment was real). Feeling sad and grateful.

The hemorrhaging of History as a professional discipline will accelerate an already widespread historical illiteracy in our population. Fewer Americans will be able to imagine different worlds. They will sleepwalk through their impoverished lives, seeing everything around them as natural. Oof.

How it feels to drop a heavy trash bag several floors down a garbage chute

Really it was just a low security prison where you did product testing for the Sakura pen corporation to pass the time

The world is not ready for the return of lolrandom. Humanity's ankles will be lashed to the grinding juggernaut of time and dragged screaming to Candy Mountain.

During his talk at RBS, James Malin—not on Bsky—showed this title page from a 19th-century catalog for Alfred Nobel’s Nitro-Glycerin Company I’d like to nominate this image for the most metal cut in print history—we need to make something with it for Halloween @skeuomorphpress.org

When Minneapolis felt under heavy siege, people from everywhere helped and reached out and it was really heartening and made a difference. Memphis deserves that too, all the more so because there appears to be a concerted effort to keep their occupation out of the news

Historian here this is literally about gutting the Reconstruction amendments especially the consequential 14th amendment piece by piece.

This is Calarts. Arguably the best animation school in the US, its alumni include industry legends. The graduating class is booing school president Ravi Ranjan, he's been gutting creative programs and pushing Ai initiatives, corporatizing the school. His secretary is treating graduates like babies.

A 16th century French anatomist described the clitoris as the “shameful member.” Most anatomy textbooks didn’t make room for it until the 20th century. Now, in 2026 (FINALLY) we have the first-ever map of the entire clitoris. Thanks, science.

I just texted a friend that they are going to loose their minds when the pope’s rumoured first encyclical on the dehumanising influence of AI happens this week. They absolutely cannot handle being told there are negative moral implications of this thing they’ve staked their whole worldview on.

I often say that animism with a bit of folk magic is the ground state of humanity. Polytheist impulses can’t be suppressed for long. In every culture this tendency to connect to spirit worlds and these little daily magics resurface. #pagansky #witchsky

THE REASON WHY THE WEALTHY AND ASCENDANT FAR RIGHT ARE PUSHING NOFAP MANOSPHERE SLOP IS BECAUSE JACKING OFF IS THE LAST ENTERTAINMENT YOU CAN GET FOR FREE GO OUTSIDE? $100! GO EAT FOOD? $100! TRY TO DATE OR HAVE SEX THATS $100+! BUT YOU CAN JACK OFF FOR FREE AND THE ELITES DON'T WANT YOU TO DO THIS

Darwin’s Chariot rides again

it's just wild to think of how "if you don't know the answer to something, look it up" is just not a thing you can say anymore look it up WHERE Wikipedia is all we have left

The truth is, as we wrote about earlier, AI cannot replace or handle human kink. "Bots might seem like a safe place to confess our deepest fantasies, but an absence of judgment isn’t the same thing as real acceptance." www.playboy.com/read/sex-rel...

but this also hits at a point that I've been trying to make for months about how AI can be useful, but it's usefulness as a tool is heavily dependent upon literacy and knowledge of the problem space. if you don't know how to cook, using a spatula won't stop you from burning your house down.

Simple from here: 1.) massive economic crisis 2.) Dem sweep in 2028 3.) Public forgets everything and gives the GOP a congressional majority in two years

I think we really need to do something about misogyny in this world, and more and more it seems to be not just a matter of justice and social functioning, but existential for the human species.

Everybody here

Bluesky is such a weird bubble. People here are not eager to sacrifice their children to ba'al - something extremely popular in the group chat, on X the everything app, and in Ohio diners
