Hey a thing I really don’t want to get lost here is that while Tylenol doesn’t cause autism, IT’S FINE TO BE AUTISTIC. Let’s not grant them the premise that autism should be eradicated in our way to correct the science, okay? Okay.

I have taken the Tylenol that was in the medicine cabinet and which they think probably is the reason you like trains forgive me but that’s bullshit you got autism from your dad

no crime in DC my ass

I go to Houston for TWO DAYS and when I come back we’re getting raptured? What did you people do?

The Home Depot skeletons have unionized and they're fighting for better bonefits

My #teen took me as her date to the Ethel Cain concert last night and I haven’t seen a crowd this hyped up since Neil Diamond opened with Coming to America a week after 9/11.

We share this graph as often as we can. #UnionStrong

the ol’ office pothos is having a real Sistine Chapel ceiling moment

They want more MOMS at home. And not just because they hate women. Their *economic* model depends on unpaid labor. And the most effective way to coerce unpaid labor is to create a second class of people and teach them that they're only "naturally" suited for labor they're forced to do for free.

I agree with John Roberts that our schools should do more to explain how much of today’s crisis stems from outrageous rulings by courts like his.

I think we are great risk of a future where unregulated use of tech turns America’s educational system into something even more segregated and classist than it is today - poor kids get largely automated “education” and surveillance discipline, rich kids get gentle low-tech instruction from humans.

I made a silent puppet film about Godzilla vs. Paul Bunyan. (thank you to @iamchubbybunny.bsky.social for Japanese translations and @okaywolf.ink for clanky piano!!)

"This is highly worrying. Trump has issued an executive order that basically is supposed to make it possible to use military forces as 'law enforcement' & paves way for militias 'aiding' police w legal impunity. They are preparing to violently quash expected riots." www.newsweek.com/donald-trump...

Kinda glad we eat clams. Why are they happier than me

Artificial Onetelligence, I know so much about it and how great it is for our children, I could just go on and on about A1 as I like to call it for short, it’s sort of a nickname used by us folks who know a lot about education and artificiality and onetelligence and whatnot,

For your enjoyment: here is Secretary of Education Linda McMahon talking about implementing AI in schools, but pronouncing it "A1," as in "A1 Steak Sauce" www.youtube.com/live/lxrg28z...

If people change their username and profile picture I’m sorry but I can’t remember you. You’re Kermit the Frog, you’re Macho Man, you’re Professor Guy, I’m fucked up soccer sun that’s just who we are here. It’s like the beginning of Reservoir Dogs, it’s best we know each other this way

this guy should call his senator tbh

being an indie bookseller in the helltimes has felt both very stable and very stabilizing, and part of me wishes everyone could be on my side of the counter for a little while, because I think it would help some of you be a little less cynical and doomy right now. so here is my VERY anecdotal data:

Denver has come out to see AOC & Bernie tonight. But, IUPAT President Jimmy Williams just set the crowd alight 🔥 “I have a message to the Democratic Party: GET OFF YOUR ASS! “We are not gonna poll our way out. We are not gonna consult our way out. We are gonna organize our way out." 👏

AHHHH LOOK AT HIM

Think about that 60-some-year-old South Korean senator who was literally climbing over walls to vote for impeachment as martial law was imposed in the country and then looking at…. Chuck Schumer.

Always look to see what the tech bros want for their own kids: small class sizes with human teachers, human tutors with expert content knowledge, cell phone restrictions in classrooms, high per pupil spending, the arts and humanities--and much more they say is too costly for public schools.

And here I thought the goal was to eliminate wasteful government spending…

In the movie Psycho, Janet Leigh stands directly under the shower head and then turns the water on. That is why the movie is called Psycho, one assumes. I turned it off. Stupid.

you’re fired. wait you’re rehired. email us a list of things you’ve done today wait forget it you’re fired again. come back your job was important. you’re fired. or hired. come in to the office. wait the office has no computers go home. we are the department of government efficiency.

Here's an easy action you can take today to support trans people. (Which supports an inclusive society, which supports all of us. It's just the right thing to do.)

holy shit has anything gone harder than this

happy Valentine’s Day, lovelies!

if you too want to know the joys of walking around in a circle, talking **** about your biggest opps, a picket line might be the place for you

So someone asked me to retell the story of the old lady that told me about killing her husband. Are we ready for a trip back in time to 1999? Some of you already know this story, but if you don't it is a wild ride. Apply all appropriate trigger warnings!

how it started ———>how it’s going

it's hard to read the chart in the screenshot but what this moron is actually complaining about isn't "DEI" staff, it's special education teachers. these ghouls are coming for people with disabilities and they aren't even shy about it.

David Lynch was a goth girl at heart

Now is the time for cute things from the archives to balance out feeds? M’kay then. Teeny baby Western Pond Turtle. #smol #herps #turtles #fieldwork

THREAD: In 2023, I received an envelope with no return address. Inside was a flash drive containing tens of 1000s of secret files. It came from a vigilante with a tumultuous past, who'd conducted a years-long undercover operation. He didn’t tell the FBI or his family. He only told me.

Heeey buddy it's getting close to the deadline and you haven't signed the I won't kill my boss pledge. Yeah you technically have 48 hours left but just like everyone else has signed it already

"Hey, we saw you from across the bar and really dig your vibe. Can we defund Veterans Affairs?"

Oogie Boogie ain’t no scab.

Poor people die so the rich can profit all the time; the rich dgaf What you’re seeing is poor people starting to feel about the rich the way the rich feel about the poor Why it’s scary is there are a lot of poor people If the rich aren’t scared it’s because they defunded too many history programs

this really is becoming a December to Remember (derogatory)

me: *wistful* what if you could go back in time and relive a delightful meal with a loved one? him: is it leftovers again? me: it's leftovers again.

Captain: I'm really nervous about giving this speech. Sun, rubbing his shoulders: Don't worry, big guy. You got this.

look we all hate donald trump but the red heart emoji is fine. do not cede a whole-ass primary color to fascism
