What?

Looking at my clothes and thinking how important industrial cloth making and sewing machines are (and of course adding thoughts about sweatshops).

Folks fear gorillas, but the real threat is a gorilla with a kazoo. They are loud, relentless, mostly out of tune, and impossible to negotiate with.

So sick of this AI shit, report every one of these videos

I’m Flake and the Supreme Court of #nycacc said that just after a week of arriving at this horrid place that ℹ deserves 2b killed! East coast I can be transported to you with food/vet provided! I just need a home! I wasn’t here long enough 4notes and they want me dead! Pls repost! #dogsofbluesky

Those are 2 not very smart people condescending to someone they think is dumber than them.

😆🔥 Oct 11, after trump didn't win Nobel Peace Prize, AGAIN, Jimmy Kimmel BLESSED US with a montage of him BEGGING for it. He is a literal CHILD.

It looks like it was made last minute via a tag sale and a trip to Staples

We are all unwilling extras in a remake of The Truman Show, where this version of "Un-Trueman" is a complete selfish bastard with no empathy, no personality, no curiosity.

I’m glad abducting immigrants was the line in the sand for the Catholic Church, after they helped install christofascists at all levels of government because they couldn’t tolerate women having control over their own bodies. Assholes.

Rebel, Rebel, you've torn your dress...

The public has been interested, Senator. Please get your colleagues to do their jobs.

Bluesky needs ability to edit posts. Would this work?:

Mourning The Works burrito and poppyseed torte, in advance.

All of the companies that make the software I use are increasing their prices, to account for an "investment" in AI. I'm sat here imagining how my clients would feel if I added 30% to each invoice, because I "really got into gambling".

You can also "hate buy" it, which is what I call stealing.

“They’re great shoppers”. Oh, please. Misogyny 101. And isn’t this coming from the same people who have determined women can’t make on our own healthcare decisions?

Think about how some young women got modeling gigs, only to end up wearing these outfits. Will they keep the stills of these in their portfolios? Or no?

What’s the point of having power if not to use it to stand up for those who are more vulnerable? That time is now Dems! When the racist goes after your colleague

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration. But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants. The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

Smoking gun: Pete Hegseth Bragged on Fox Hours After No Survivors Boat Strike in September — ‘I Watched It Live.’ This guy gave the order to kill survivors. www.mediaite.com/media/tv/tru...

Appreciate the sentiment. And also Hands off #Franklintheturtle Keep Franklin out of cascade memes and one-ups. Franklin's values are the opposite of this. Thank you #Canadian author Paulette Bourgeois and Canadian illustrator Brenda Clark, for the epic Franklin children's literature series.

Ads have a reverse effect on me now. It's the what not to buy list.

The rich accumulate wealth and hold on to it, the poor have no option but to spend what comes in. Therefore the poorer members of society are the real reason the economy keeps ticking along.

I’m not going to talk about the members of the Trump regime like they’re invincible. They’re not. They want you to think they are. Don’t cede that to them.

Ready to freeze leftover roasted pumpkin, to save for dog food or baked goods. Who can we talk to, to start making metal ice cube trays again? These things are amazing. I have a dozen other plastic or silicon ice cube trays - spooning pumpkin puree into every little slot would take a half hour.

He foresaw it:

Finally getting some theological clarity on the ethics of reclining in one’s plane seat

Think about this, There were children trained by Ghislaine Maxwell, which haunts those now-grown children; and there were children trained by the CIA in Afghanistan as soldiers, also haunted. Common thread: abusive men seeking power and money.

Any PTs out there want to weigh in that it's long past time to give him a walker?

Now we decide who we want to be going forward, and how long we will collectively allow this ever escalating nightmare to last. I have hope we can prevent the worst, but we will need all of our resolve & engagement. We have no clue what will happen in 3 years. The upcoming mid terms are our critical.

How bout tnazi?

This whole country will need a "cleanup on aisle 47" soon, and we will all need to roll up our sleeves.

"In the solitude of a book, we find ourselves a little more willing to be vulnerable to having our mindset challenged." - Nick Raines The main difference between people who want to ban books and me: They would feel threatened by that quote. I feel *energized* by it.

I'm old. If you're not, listen to this. Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder. Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever. It's literally never been more important.

Turporken taco. And that can’t be said about just anyone.

Hollywood loves our trauma. Black actors are more likely to win awards when playing roles tied to slavery, servitude, or trauma. Lupita Nyong’o opens up about what happened after her Oscar win. Hollywood kept offering her more parts as an enslaved woman, pushing the same stereotype again and again.

Women being attracted to RFK Jr is how you know heterosexuality is NOT a choice.

Schroedinger's Pomeranian.

Imagine you are in a post-apocalyptic world with zombies. There is a spray you can use to ward off zombies. It works well, but is short-acting. Someone made a new spray that is more long-acting. You want to test it out to see the difference.

Spending a trillion dollars to be able to type 5318008 into a calculator at a party.

Playing this with kids there is always a turn where their second cue is: "poopier poop."

This reminds me of Cardinal John Henry Newman's book Definition of a Gentleman. I often cite Newman's book because it's so instructive. The term gentleman is so overwrought and frequently abused, but to the degree it means anything at all, I think Newman captures it here:

This is a message to MAGA-Republicans you keep saying that Democrats want free stuff and that the government can't do anything right so you voted for Trump. It's time for a little education.

After years of work to get them to trust law enforcement, immigrants are now afraid to report crime as victim or to cooperate as witnesses or to go to court at all. This makes them targets, increases crime, makes convicting criminals tougher and makes us all less safe. We are not smart people.

Any chance Trump thinks Mamdani is another Saudi prince?

Touching the Crown Prince? With his left hand??

Quiet Piggy Riot. Orange Swine Decline.

Look, we’re never gonna settle this. Let’s all just agree to agree.
