Saw these last evening before I went to a play, and immediately thought, I’ve got to tag @toomanycommas.bsky.social in a post.

Trump wanted a war because Netanyahu wanted a war to side track people and stay out of prison for both of them!

I’ve been in that airport, and they’re not wrong!

My kid’s school district wants to shut down my kid’s school. More than half the kids are on some sort of educational accommodation plan (autism, ADHD, hearing defects, Tourette’s, and more). A ton of kids are LBGTQ+ This is safe space for them. gofund.me/4c3226b3d 1/2

Also, with UBI, the leisure TO read increases. If you've got 80 or 90% of your basic living expenses covered if alone and fully covered if you buddy up with 1-3 others, so you only need part-time or gig work for extras? That's time & attention the rentier doesn't extract & is restored to the worker.

wouldn't it be funny if EVERYONE blocked this Attie AI account @ bsky.app/profile/atti... before they could do anything with it

Another Trumpstien distraction

Nothing describes the soul of the Republican Party more than Pam Bondi citing the stock markets as her excuse for not going after pedophile billionaires.

Ten countries have launched investigations related to the released Epstein files. Norway, UK, France, Lithuania, Latvia, Sweden, Australia, North Macedinia, Turkey, Poland. Conspicuously absent is the United States, the epicenter of this scandal. We know why. …

So, Gaiman has decided to disable quote-posts on his odious emission. NO. No, no, nope. Fuck right off with the victim-blaming “reporting,” with the “I’ll promote my new book in the same statement” bullshit. No. I believe the victims. I still believe them. NO.

I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

Flightless bird is done with your bs.

Calling out the disinformation regarding today’s fatal ICE shooting in Minneapolis. While the President claims "self-defense," local leaders and witnesses tell a very different story. Here is what we actually know: #4R (1/3)

ALL hell breaks loose? In this econo-- Actually, yeah, that tracks.

I take it back. There is exactly one valid use of LLMs, and that is catfishing Nazi shitbirds, dressing as the Pink Power Ranger, and exposing them all at a conference. cybernews.com/security/inv...

celebs that look like fictional characters: thread

Introduce yourself with what almost killed you. Hi! I’m way too eager to get home on my 5th birthday running out in front of a car with really good brakes. Hi! I’m a carbon monoxide leak well before detectors were common or required.

Their strategy is to do so much fucking around that the finding out can never hope to catch up.

“I would never stop holding you. Which, honestly, would get pretty awkward. But you’re pretty, and I’m awkward, so that’s okay.” Pretty much the same person in DMs as on the timeline.

the muppet’s new year’s resolutions: thread

My new year’s resolution is 36dpi. Chunky, painfully simple, but still weird & non-compliant.

With a little effort, this year is a perfect opportunity to seamlessly transform from arm candy to arm cactus.

The words still come to me: Echoes of long-absent conversations, Nostalgia recurring unbidden, Whether for you, or for us, Or for who I thought I was with you I honestly cannot say.

Is it wrong to say I was healthier when you were in my life? That you both anchored me and spurred me forward? You removed yourself from my life, or me from yours, and I am adrift on this windless sea. …

This impossible thing, so filled with surprise and delight, cannot, in fact, exist. I will revel in it nonetheless, wrap myself in its illusory embrace, and find comfort in this glorious trick of the light.

Christmas LEGO sets, from my son & ex.

I’ve been sitting quietly on this, but I am SO FUCKING LIVID with my son’s school district, and even more so with the state school board. His school is amazing. His school has fostered a culture of support & learning like none I’ve ever seen. HIS SCHOOL IS CLOSING. Bastards.

It's mayhem at the amphibian enclosures. Check out our new exhibit, "Beware The Frogs Of War"

Once again endorsing MSNow & Rachel Maddow’s Burn Order podcast. It’s short, 6 episodes, about the Japanese internment, and the fact that it happened based on tampered evidence and concealed, exculpatory evidence. And that the Justice Department did their damnedest to cover it up.

Here's a rule of thumb: If "AI" seems like a good solution, you are probably both misjudging what the "AI" can do and misframing the problem. >>

Sometimes the view looking back is worth consideration.

More of the same. Yay.
