sorry, i am just.... NOT ready for "black friday" sales in the first week of november. what the fuck. like i'm not ready for them *ever*, but as a marketer, could we not figure out a better way to convey what's happening here than slapping "black friday" on everything until it means nothing anymore

I feel like we have the opportunity to turn David Lynch's quote into this moment's "Keep Calm and Carry On" and it's a far better rallying cry too.

Charissa was so lovely to work with, and I'm absolutely in love with how she illustrated my character. Her comms are still open - treat yourself to a spot of art, won't you?

Remember, remember

“I did not kill the president. The doctors did that. I merely shot him.” —Charles J. Guiteau, charged with the death of President James A. Garfield, 1882 Let’s get into it. 🧵⬇️

I wish I believed in a hell hot enough for Dick fucking Cheney.

I think a lot about the chance we had at the start of COVID to finally become a more compassionate, collectivist nation, and how profoundly we were failed not only by the sociopathic greed of the ruling class but by each other. It doesn’t mean we won’t get there, but the lost opportunity haunts me.

This is gorgeous. Mitch Albom wishes he could.

Closed Mouths Don’t Get Fed #art

years ago, i moved 1500 miles away from michigan just to unexpectedly end up dating a michigan man. it was VERY weird to have that shared vocab in a group of outsiders. i think of him often this time of year, when the wind in the wires makes a tattle-tale sound, and a wave breaks over the railing

haven't seen me around in a while? wondering why i haven't posted about something? awaiting a reply to a message? don't worry; it's just my executives! like many executives, they often don't function

There's something really wonderful about being close to the same age as something you consider a cultural milestone and getting to moments like this one.

I get a microscopic amount of psychic damage every time a Litmus notif comes in with an edit for an email while I'm working on making ANOTHER email live. Something about the fear factor + attention splitting.

i agree with this, though it is slightly complicated by the fact that i have many cousins both 10 years older and younger than me. they FEEL like aunts and nieces, not cousins.

This is all of us

"I DON'T NEED YOU TO FUCKING REWRITE WHAT I'VE JUST WRITTEN!"

"omg what a great costume!"

How could anyone ever want to use AI when humans can come up with, and execute, stuff like this

North Star - Polaris - I found my new favorite brush to use on just about everything ;u;

Me over here with Stardew Valley magic brain: YOU NEED TO PLANT A TON OF THEM IN A SQUARE

Spooky month

It’s been over 30 years and that intro shot of Christian Slater in Interview With the Vampire where he puts his glasses on is still just absolute 🔥

it's funny how you can rightly be like "this is all according to their plan - fascist paramilitary secret police kidnapping americans, panopticon, destruction of the dollar, etc" but then out of nowhere you get a curveball like Tearing Down White House To Build The Fancy Boy Party Zone

just made a super easy chicken pot pie recipe that i used to make religiously in college but haven't touched in 18 years. it's like i just. forgot it existed??? why are our brains like this.

Okay brother I think we're done here jewishinsider.com/2025/10/grah...

a very merry aws outage to all my fellow wfh people

One of my least rational beliefs is that if you pull off a heist without hurting anyone or getting caught within a day, that's your stuff fair and square.

Saw the autumn leaves dancing as I drove my car yesterday and wanted to a mari with a dress formed of whirling leaves

this rocks. when indiana edu killed the student newspaper, Purdue stepped up, printed the forbidden issue, drove it to Bloomington and stocked the boxes.

I just keep thinking about the first guy to put on the frog costume reading the news today and seeing frogs literally all over the world what a fucking thing, man that 25 year old did more for the country in a week than most of the NYT op-ed section in a lifetime

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I'd missed this!! Good things still happen!!!

it has been a fuck of a week, contributed heavily to by only getting 4-5 hours of sleep per night (please take my cat your honor) ANYWAY i just had a 2 hour nap and i feel like a sliced lime left out to dry in the fridge please send medical assistance

And he was good in American Psycho because he was a pretty dumbass whose major plot moment was getting chopped up by Christian Bale

for further context, $0.50 per word is also what I made writing for my hometown newspaper in 1995, and it was considered an average rate then. This is how bad the industry has gotten.

Can any pro lawyers on here tell me if it's good or bad when a judge does this

I'm not a historian but my analysis is it's "Not good" when a government constantly commits crimes and tells the legislature, courts, and general public "What are you gonna do about it"

Hey @teija.bsky.social this seems a) right up your alley and b) extremely relevant to your quality of life www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgvE...

This weekend I had the ABSOLUTE and WILD pleasure of showing this video to someone for the very first time. I felt like I was showing fire to a caveman or something

A bunch of my extended family got together to support a cousin who's struggling financially for a predetermined window of time. This is month 4 of 6 and so far all it's taught me is that I can't trust my extended family in a crisis. Which is a good lesson to learn, I guess.

TikTok’s suppressing the hell outta this video so maybe yall will share it 🤭

Please remember that the disgust people have over Christopher Columbus is not based on some modern, 21st century “woke” ideology, but rather on contemporaneous accounts of atrocities that make many modern genocides appear quaint in comparison. Below, are the accounts of Bartlomé de las Casas.

He taught me how to improv a meal out of what's in the cupboard/fridge, or how to stretch a meal for 4 into a meal for 6. We always had random folks at the table, especially at holidays - his generosity is deeply rooted in food. Just to be clear, though, that man is yellow flags all the way down.

Modern post apocalyptic novels are actually about World War II

my therapist: sometimes you simply have to experience an emotion instead of thinking about it me, nodding sagely: and then it goes away therapist: well not necessarily me, shaking my head furiously: no, I don't like that

My first thought was “wow I hope this guy didn’t give out his name because he could absolutely be charged” and yup, he is correct to stay anonymous. This man’s account is shocking. His neighbors’ situation is shocking. The entire Chicago raid is shocking.

i cannot tell you how much i love the dancing frog. frog is all of us. frog is none of us. i send frog to my old coworkers when they ask "so how are things in portland." the world is absurd and horrific. be a dancing frog in the face of fascism.
