A thing I genuinely don’t know: is this guy held hostage in a YouTube content factory at gunpoint forced to make videos? He has like a metric bazillion daily

bsky isn’t important enough for the government to ddos get a grip

it's like police chase cams in america

I never resigned from the church (never got around to it) so my daughter is obligated to take ev. lut. class instead of generic ethics, but it turns out it’s her favorite class and spent our walk this morning infodumping neurospicily about Jesus entering Jerusalem on a donkey

Damn. Abiy Ahmed just fucking loves genocide. Can't get enough of it.

just waiting at the metro station to meet up with my 9-year-old as one does in Helsinki

[submits PR, awaits colleagues' approval] colleague: maybe change this to default to 500 instead of 200 so we don't assume it's ok me: that's cromulent [makes the change] [copilot] "hey change this 500 to 200"

Have to get up in a few minutes to shepherd child to school. Dilemma: I am currently cat-lawed. She is v suspicious that I plan to violate Cat Law.

I’m in Europe right now and we just had a four-day Easter weekend and we will also get Ascension off and I pay 1% of my income to the church whose bells ring twice daily in the square outside my house.

Helsinki. Hietaniemi cemetery. In memory of past generations and those buried elsewhere. Basically a place to do your mourning and remembering. Helsinki is the kind of place where a lot of people have grandparents from elsewhere. Mine are from Oulu in the north/the middle of nowhere east of Pori

Brendan Carr is gonna have words about the use of “another”

“Hey girlie! Looking forward to our coffee date!! It’s gonna be so fun :3 oh I’m also gonna key your car”

like what even in the hell

What do you call a place where people meeting a certain ethnic profile are housed with deliberately substandard nutrition and medical care while they await either the deportation or death the government intends?

They’re trying to make the profile sympathetic but they are perfidious Nazi scum and they should do the one act they could do personally that would make life objectively better for American citizens

These NY Times oral histories—of what the Trump administration is doing to federal agencies—are a public service. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Thousand Island Moved to Finland

I’m not catholic by any stretch. I grew up areligious with Finnish lutheran ancestors. I spent my formative years in America reading headlines about systemic sex abuse and it made me sour on institutions generally. I’m also a liker of gays. It’s _weird_ to root for a pope and genuinely like him.

I like the pope’s brother because he is MAGA is definitely something that will move a man who spent decades ministering to impoverished communities in Peru

elon musk sending pith-helmeted mercenaries to africa to secure artifacts

Donald Trump is Shitty Henry VIII

more seriously congrats to the hungarian people for kicking that asshole out

Criminal ducks

Russianes eunt domus

look you have to man up if your bribe doesn’t work the first time you don’t cry about it you get up dust yourself off and get back out there and bribe even harder

1. This has been obvious from the get-go. 2. The fate of our Republic rests on leaning into a necessary Constitutional crisis and refusing to accept these pardons.

wow who could their source for this story about how handsome and clever JD Vance is be

mambo no 5 x thank u next

FOLKS,,,

The president should be a boring faceless functionary. Herman van Rompuy kind of guy

Elected Democrats should be calling for hangings and then tell any right-wing pundits to shut their fucking faces with the pearl clutching. Dems aren’t at fault for what republicans are doing but they don’t have to be so calculated and supine about it.

I just had the most reactionary “Back in my day, we called that having a WORK ETHIC, suck it up, buttercup!” response to this.

A reminder that Kamala Harris wanted to go on the show and he told them to fuck off

I think this is actually a decent position that reflects the realities of Finnish politics?

israel, not content with ethnically cleansing the land it already militarily occupies, applies its learnings and experience northward

I once met up with a friend of a friend for dinner. Afterward she invited me to her place to bake cookies. So I followed her to her place, where we baked cookies and I thanked her for the cookies and went home. I’ve been with my wife now for fifteen years and sometimes I still am like nooOoOoOoooo

My kid, when we were potty training her, would spontaneously deny having shat her pants, and that’s how we would know she shat her pants

some people may argue that The Beekeeper not high art but it contains a scene in which a scammer tries to bribe Jason Statham with NFTs and is immediately tied to a truck and driven off the bridge so who’s to say it is not the greatest cinematic accomplishment of our times

In other words, "My super cheap house is now worth so much money, I could sell it for a ridiculous profit and move somewhere cheaper, but I won't do that until you upend the foundations of our country's system of taxation (which is theft, by the way)."

Can’t wait to visit the us fifth fleet museum in bahrain

feel like israel is trying to bait hizbullah into something which they can then use to say iran is breaking the cease fire etc etc etc

"Your ingredients are... a coconut. A fish that you have to spear yourself. And... a human foot. Contestants, you have one hour; time begins now."

I AM GOING TO BURN DOWN THE SHED UNLESS WE HAVE PIZZA ROLLS FOR DINNER TONIGHT [mom sighs, rolls her eyes, writes "pizza rolls" on the grocery list for next week] I HAVE DECIDED NOT TO BURN DOWN THE SHED

Minus trump’s kick it’s probably still a lot

“Western expats plz come back and bring ur money”

Not a cult
