Ah, now I don't hardly know you But I think I could show you Crimson and Grogu

Pick a Bond from the photos you already have on your phone.

“It’s just a tool,” they say, as they beat you over the head with it.

My insistence that the world is still a warm and beautiful place is sorely tested by the fact that the world is a cruel and stupid dogshit hell

Texas Children's caved and ended care under pressure in April 2022, over four years ago and they still got targeted by DOJ and Paxton. NYU caved and they still got served with a grand jury subpoena. Caving and abandoning will not save you. You have to fight these bastards or they will destroy you.

In the 1980s they showed the film Disney would like you to believe does not exist, SONG OF THE SOUTH, at my public elementary school. It’s almost as bad as the decision to show it to us.

For you to understand how much the world has changed, in the 1970s as a second grader we were REQUIRED to watch the TV show adaptation of ROOTS. REQUIRED. www.knoxnews.com/story/news/e...

I looked up the old Simpsons beat-em-up arcade game and turns out John Mullaney is the generic enemy character

Sorry, I'm a huge Clash nerd. According to Joe Strummer, during the recording of Combat Rock, their manager, Bernie Rhodes, kept complaining that every song was a "raga" meaning it was too long. This is where the line "The king told the boogeymen, you have to let that raga drop" in RTC came from

did you hear about the horrifying thing that youre powerless to do anything about

hey john. its your cousin marvin. marvin cage! you know that new sound youve been looking for? well listen to this *hangs up phone*

some guy nodding off from heroin on the street corner isn’t stealing everyone’s social security info and gutting social services

Mike, Joel, Cambot, Gypsy, Tom Servo, Crooooooooow

really insightful and horrifying stuff from @thefarce.org

normies read the Culture novels because they want to live in the Culture billionaires read the Culture novels because they idolize the dominance behavior of the Azadian Empire, the Idirans, the Affront, Vavatch Orbital (including Damage and the cannibal cult), Elethiomel, the Chelgrian-Puen, etc.

I do enjoy how many things this could be about

the alt-text on this is next-level

rude. in my day we called that Italo-disco.

Hi, I'm the boutique hot sauce brand you liked ten years ago 😜 I'm on the shelf of your local store now—nice! 👍 You may have noticed I cost $14 now 😅

Fun fact! Land-grant public universities were opposed by the southern states and only happened due to the The Morrill Act of 1862 while they were off being the Confederacy. I WONDER WHY THE MODERN GOP HATES THEM NOW?!?! It is a DEEP MYSTERY!

Pop! Six! Squish! Uh uh! Cicero, Lipschitz

you really do have to PDF all your shit. none of these companies can be trusted to keep it live, even (especially?) when they have the kinds of resources Disney does

the login screen for bluesky with post editing has leaked

Radiant Star by @annleckie.com is ultimately a hopeful novel but ooooooof one of the most realistic space operas I’ve ever read and not in a happy or escapist way

Can you imagine how great it would be if a single reporter speaking to him ever remembered that in addition to being a reporter they are also a human being and they carry the spark of life within them and can respond any way they please and that's better than having this job

The end goal of AI is not building god or whatever — or even building AI tools that even work. It's stuff this. A proprietary layer of automation that controls and surveils everything we do, owned by the wealthiest of society. They want to freeze the world as it is now and rule over it.

I cannot believe @siracusa.social has not been writing macOS reviews for twelve years now, it seems like only a couple of years ago. I miss them but after a few weeks of fighting Tahoe I get why that endeavor may not interest him any longer.

The individual cannot bargain with the State. The State recognizes no coinage but power: and it issues the coins itself.

Watching Smokin’ Aces from 2006, and it’s not bad like I thought. Not a masterpiece, but also not the trigger-happy comedy its marketing made it out to be. Carnahan wrote some real people into this.

the nordic countries are better than the rest of us in so many ways —“The Day-Fine System in Nordic Societies Finland: The pioneer of the system (introduced in 1921), Finland calculates fines for most crimes (excluding minor petty offenses) based on a person’s disposable daily income.”

if art has to be ruined, it should at least be ruined by its own creator.

@achewood-official.bsky.social what the heck happened to the archives on Achewood.com? The text (especially Beef’s words) is nigh-on unreadable

No the Republican support for WIC and SNAP is that people would be able to spend money to buy products from thier business donors cause produce rots and people not buying things hurts business. They are both conservative, business friendly programs. Republicans no longer believe in this.

this truly is the thing that makes the united states exceptional, and right wingers hate it so much they want to destroy it

Out on the road today I saw a Have Heart sticker on a Cadillac

I'm willing to test this theory

"you wanna use the gravity bong" and you get led out to an 800 sq ft yurt with an above ground pool inside

The teenage boy/young man who lives in this house has contrived to hang a pair of his shorts on the bathroom rail where the hand towels usually go. I have no interest in decoding this missive or querying its author as to why. In mid-August he’ll be off to college. I’ve waited longer for less relief.

My brother’s restaurant/venue in Richmond (RIP Strange Matter RVA) suffered from Sysco corner-cutting like this www.worseonpurpose.com/p/your-dinne...

hey @molain.bsky.social did we have our Elric casting convo here or on X?

okay I just realized how fucking funny "while I will never be able to know you" lady he's your constituent!!! if he comes to washington dc with the boy scouts you're probably going to meet him!!!

I think yes to the warm soda on a hot day question, I did that a lot—both as a kid and when I lived in SoCal without air conditioning—and I’m still alive despite my bad habits (reading in low light)

Today's story is about what the afterlife means when there is no after

feeling cute, might watch Nell and say all of Nell’s dialog in sync and unaccented English later
