this is what hacking the mainframe actually means

Me subscribing to various regional newspapers & getting excited about new restaurants only to realize I’m reading about places in Austin, SF, Portland and Chicago…

Maybe I should post about non-politics stuff more? I keep trying but the news is so awful and relentless, I can't help it. Reskeeting's like a reflex action at this point.

People love a cutting one-line dunk.

Vegetarian Greek food restaurant called Don't Meat Your Gyros

There’s a reason you usually see 4’33 done with a piano. It doesn’t work on guitar. After 10 seconds the performer would start trying to check that their strings are still in tune before moving on to absentmindedly playing Wonderwall.

Show us your sickest deal snipes, Z-Man Landed a discount in 2004 that still makes me smile

so many stans on the internet

merrick garland and joe biden you will fucking burn for this

holy fuck

JESUS CHRIST!

(Sen. Mike Lee going from loud and proud libertarian to go-to launderer for war crimes is something like a Shakespearan tragedy on the corrupting influence of power pitted against weak character.)

Just watched the Abbot Elementary episode that was filmed during Kyle Schwarbers' 4 home run game against Atlanta. it is so very awesome.

ME ME ME IT'S ALL ABOUT ME fuck all of you this is entirely your fault

look at our elected representatives dog we're ngmi

A lot of people forget how in 2004 the Bush regime kidnapped the democratically elected President of Haiti, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, and dumped him in Africa.

Entering our Too Lazy to Manufacture Consent era

Good morning from Canada, a country whose border Trump has called an “imaginary” “artificial line” established by an illegitimate treaty. I’d like to be spared your nuanced “Were Trump voter’s racist with fascist inclinations or just low information voters with fascist inclinations?” debate today.

Perhaps now people will stop wishcasting about the US military refusing illegal orders. That's not a thing that happens. The 100% compliance rate with using civilian boats for target practice was a bit of a tell.

Girl..........

Well, fuck it. Nobody was gonna be able to pronounce semiquincentennial, anyway.

What's left to say? May everyone involved in dropping bombs on Venezuela be punished swiftly and finally in pursuit of a just society and a lasting architecture of peace.

BREAKING: Hearing reports of explosions in Caracas, Venezuela. Source with family on the ground says people advising each other to shelter in place.

Disgusting violation of basic sovereignty and I hope everyone who hedges even one bit on this has their careers ruined in the end

what if I write a blog post titled "Why I Left New York" and the only sentence in it says: "I was tired of living in the widening gyre"

We have got to demolish this.

i have better conversations on here than any other app and there are communities for a really diverse range of interests. whenever people describe bluesky as a hugbox or playground for neoliberal scolds, i assume it is user error bc i see basically none of that.

this is so funny. “i don’t know what he was talking about but it definitely wasn’t ME” is so funny. what a funny way to start my day.

I have grudges tucked away against people who bullied me in high school. Has it been over two decades since then? Yes! But if they somehow pop up again I am loaded and ready to go.

Okay so—I think my phone is cursed

My kingdom for this coat I’m serious

Mamdani setting up a permitting reform and land inventory task force is some real sickos yes stuff.

i hear the moon daring / to dance these rooms. Sonia Sanchez

A place to plug in Philly folks...

Name a non-LotR character who could resist the One Ring Richard T Splett is so wholesome, he absolutely could resist the One Ring.

This is a WORD. An on time word even.

2026 is the year of the hot mayor

happy new mayor 🥳

update

Happy New Year to everyone!!! 2026 is going to be better than 2025. I can feel it. (And it's a very low bar to clear.)

this never fails to get me

this year was absolute garbage. it sucked, and i'm glad to see the back of it. to everyone and everything, old friends and new, that helped me get through it, thank you. i hope 2026 is easier and more full of joy, for all of us. i hope it happens. and i hope we're all still here for each other.

well, it looks like a total stranger is spending New Years' with me! at my house! apparently he's antisocial?

I am a teetotaler & my South Indian extendeds think I'm a complete and utter loser.

I’ve watched this over 5x today. The man should be given a Pulitzer.

Ey, ey what this nicht is long!

saw an all-time great vanity plate today
