What’s your favorite movie about a deranged opera enthusiast who drags a steamboat over an Amazon jungle mountain?

Merry Christmas! 🎄✨ 🔭🧪🐡🎨

New from me: The storied fiddler Ashley MacIsaac wanted to play a show at a Nova Scotia First Nation. It got cancelled because Google's AI search summary incorrectly called him a sex offender. Now he's worried for his safety www.theglobeandmail.com/culture/arti...

ah, perhaps instead of pumping millions into endless factional infighting Dem donors could invest in making local Dem organizations genuine civic spaces that can reach people during and between elections

[Exit Clown.]

At this rate the 2026 Dem meta will be running dead-eyed CIA officers whose campaign ads are just them graphically describing what war crimes they will do to Republicans

ladies and gentlemen...we got him

people playing music/videos on their phone speakers in public is more than just mildly annoying and is instead a leading indicator of the decline of community and empath

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Pretty much every single one of these new government accounts is posting rage bait. It's possible (like 100% guaranteed) they are trying to provoke people here on purpose, so don't fall for it. Blockity block block block.

Don't engage. Just block. They want to push their rage bait on here. Don't give them the satisfaction. bsky.app/profile/did:...

NO KINGS, y'all! October 18! Find a rally near you and GO! nokings.org

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Happy NYC gingko tree puke smell season, for those who celebrate!

cry havoc and let slip the frogs of war

It’s 2050 and a teen girl is torrenting a .tar.gz file of all the consciousnesses of all the tech bros who uploaded themselves into the cloud in a bid for immortality and modding them into The Sims 4

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, “did you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, “no but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”

Oh no. Someone alert RFK Jr.

Just happily canceled my Disney+/Hulu subscription. Good riddance.

dragged out of the library again just for demanding to be shown their forbidden knowledge

he's right and he's right to say it

"Class war is only recognized as violence when waged by labor against capital; the everyday slow murder by prior authorization and wage theft waged by the latter against the former is viewed as the natural and civil order of things." buttondown.com/theswordandt...

Such a funny coincidence! I was walking through the hotel lobby and ran into the guy that murders me in my nightmares.

That being said, I think people who are tired and burnt-out from Covid are not paying proper amounts of attention to H5N1 as it gets geared up and ready for the party.

MYSTERIOUS STRANGER: *hands woman box* If you press this button, someone you don't know dies WOMAN: Ok *presses button* STRANGER: Whoa, I didn't even tell you about the money WOMAN: I can't afford to pay much STRANGER: No, you don't pay WOMAN: Oh good *presses button again* STRANGER: Jesus Christ

i think that the people interested in recriminations and score settling right now aren’t seriously grappling with the magnitude of what happened and the implications for the rest of our lives. most of us will probably die living in the political order that will emerge out of this election.

part of what got south korea out under the thumb of authoritarian dictatorships and to real elections (1987) and free and fair ones (1992) were large, mass protests and demonstrations. which is such an anodyne way of describing what happened. it makes it sound bloodless. it wasn't.

HAN SOLO: Chewie's bandolier smells like a pickled womprat R2D2: *beep boop* HAN SOLO: how is that racist

Important to remember today that the US presidency is a largely ceremonial position and real power rests with the prime minister, who is chosen by the faction that commands a majority in the United States Parliament

Truth.

I’m late to the party, but I just finished Bojack Horseman. So good. I did not expect some of the most gripping and heart rending stories ever about marriage, friendship, trauma, & addiction to come from an insanely weird animated comedy with anthropomorphic talking animals, but that’s what happened
