This new Vince Staples album reminds me of something from "Fly Or Die"-era NERD. That is neither an insult nor a compliment. Just an observation. So far, I like it.

Okey doke

What if he dies at Game 3

SMDFTB!!!

I mostly agree with this. I've listened to actual conservatives and heard them say some interesting things, but they hold no power or sway in the current climate, and don't seem likely to anytime soon.

this is the thing about people who say they need to be exposed to more perspectives: no you don’t right wing perspectives are dogshit, especially these days - it’s either vicious, preening meanness or it’s the most obvious bad faith trolling you’ve ever seen there is nothing to be gained from it

It is amazing that this country has produced and continues to produce a community of millions for whom virtue of any sort is a mortal sin.

This is absolute horseshit. I'm here not because I wanted an ideological bubble, because I got tired of having random porn and all caps ethnic slurs pop up in an app that I scroll while I'm in line at the fucking grocery store.

Seriously, but why though

and yes i do blame the audience. the audience is given lots of examples of good pieces that treat the reader with respect and aren’t tedious acts of performance art. but those pieces don’t drive arguments on social media. the masses don’t want them. they want to yell at each other over nonsense.

GHETTOOOOOOOOO

@kamilla.ca Hell yeah, HBO here you come

some NBA GM in July:

Gen Z is objectively more affluent than any previous generation at its same age. But "You're broke and should be angry at society for screwing you out of the life of leisure everyone before you had!" plays better on the internet. Do you guys not realize this is just unadorned slopulism?

I am screaming, crying, begging #Survivor to cast one person who works a traditional blue-collar job. Cast a truck driver, or a waiter, or a McDonald's employee.....a person who drives a school bus, or works as a grocery store clerk.

It was Batman Forever. I loved both Keaton Batman films, in fact Batman Returns is my favorite ever, and was excited for the third movie, and then walked out like, boy that was awful.

💔💔💔 #Survivor50

The funniest possible scenario is Trump faking his own disappearance just to live under the house in secret, scaring children and staff when he goes for a Diet Coke at 3 AM, like the family in Parasite

Not gonna lie, guys, the last few weeks at work have been pretty tough. I am sincerely worried that I have finally risen to the level of my own incompetence, and that the imposter syndrome I have always felt has become real. I took on a new position about 5 months back, and I think I'm failing.

The ideological cousin of “the media isn’t telling us about this” which may actually drive me mad one day, bc it’s usually said about something reported on by multiple huge media outlets and means “no one delivered this to my social media feeds in way that captured my severely diminished attention.”

Absolutely. I have FB friends I went to HS with who complain about not learning life skills but learning algebra. WE HAD A CLASS CALLED CONSUMERS ED. IT WAS REQUIRED. You learned about interest, balancing a checking account, job interview skills, etc. Kids didn't pay attention.

Number three, but like this youtube.com/shorts/lEip-...

buddy i haven’t taught with in a couple years is coming by for breakfast and a couple beers. my first sentence should be 1. look at this fucking guy 2. holy shit stranger good to meet you 3. you sonofabitch 4. well who the fuck is this guy white guy greetings, sound off in the comments

That’s the best you’ve got when everyone is laughing at you?

I am the furthest thing possible from an "eat the rich" lefty, I'm actually quite enthusiastically capitalist by left-leaning standards, I think owning rental property is perfectly okay, but every photo I see from the goddamned Met Gala is making me want to burn the rich to fuel our homes.

This is exactly how I feel about people getting mad that Democrats aren't pointing out how much of a danger Trump is to democracy and the rule of law. They did! A significant portion of Kamala's ads were about just that, and after she lost people clowned her for not talking enough about prices.

Technically, my first job was delivering newspapers, and you got paid by the newspaper. I think the newspaper sold for for $0.35 back then, and the company kept $0.18 and you got $0.17. It wasn't the worst job in the world for like a 10 or 11-year-old, but it was everyday, which sucked.

Your false flag posts are bad. Do not direct them at me. I will block you.

every few months, americans are asked to resume their banquet and pretend a shooting didn't just happen

It’s totally OK not to speculate on anything right now.

Just saw this fun little billboard by Naval Station Great Lakes

I like the two-party system. It forces people to aggregate their interests rather than to particularize them. (I do not want five or six parties where some small group is always the kingmaker.) The dysfunction of our system is that parties are now too *weak* and we don't vote enough in primaries.

@kamilla.ca why did you let this happen

"it's giving war crime" we live in the least serious time in history

Also, fuck Joe Rogan.

Being an American is absolutely mortifying. I am so sorry we live in a country of morons, racists, misogynists and bigots who voted for this man. I don’t know what to do. We screamed for a decade about Trump being an unhinged psychopath and they did not listen.

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

Salt Lake City seeing this

There's this myth that non-voters are just as aware of and engaged with current events as voters are and that they just haven't found the candidate that inspires them and no, that's not true at all, it's usually that they don't know anything about politics at all, which is the entire challenge.

I could live with no Genevieve, I could stomach no Colby, but no @kamilla.ca for the remainder of season 50? What the hell. The highest compliment I can pay #Survivor casting is that I always find myself wanting to hang out with the folks they cast, even the ones I didn't like watching as players.

Emily Flippen at the most emotional tribal council ever #Survivor50 😂

these celeb cameos are getting outta hand

once again for those in the cheap seats no matter how real and deep your trauma is it's not a license to be an asshole

Reading the response to @mjsdc.bsky.social and it's literally the exact same set of abusive freaks who make my life hell every three or four days. Like, the exact same accounts. You can solve this problem! Just ban this contingent! Delete their accounts!

I don’t think that’s true, I think you’re just mad at your dad

Canonically, Elissa Slotkin, 49 years old, and Anthony Mackie’s Papa Doc character in 8 Mile (Mackie is 47 years old) attended Cranbrook, a private school in the Detroit suburbs, together.

if nothing else, there is something to be said for spending time outside in the sun with thousands of people who share your anger at the state of things
