ok i am prepared for someone to explain what i'm missing but i just saw a 'machete kerambit' and uh isn't the entire point of a kerambit that you can spin it around and change grips and whatnot, stuff that a giant-ass blade would make a nonstarter? makes as much sense as a machete balisong smh

33 is so good it can almost carry the second half of the series

criminal minds dot txt, everyone

luckily even if the rapture does happen it won’t impact bluesky at all because nobody on this website is going to heaven

Don’t you hate it when the automatic arm rail of the escalator is out of sync with the stairs, and your arm moves so far ahead of you it dislocates then detaches and goes on to form its own life separate of you?

Nvidia had the best deal in corporate history: selling the pickaxes to corporations in the middle of an illusionary goldrush. And now they've decided to invest in a fake mine!

reminder that multiple studies of 'porn addiction' have come up with 'this is basically three cases of religious shame in a trenchcoat'

Nice post you got there, it'd be a shame if I deliberately missed your point so I could be tedious about it

Chiitan loves all transgender people. I've received a lot of criticism for expressing my support, but what's more important is that all transgender people live happy lives. Blue Sky cannot display long posts, so please read this post if you'd like. love you all 🤍 ↓ www.instagram.com/reel/C9qppva...

NETWORK is a fuckin Delphic vision set to film and you should see it if you haven't.

TIL: the Australian CAC Winjeel trainer was so good at not going into a spin, it had to be redesigned to make it more prone to going into a spin for training

do you think maybe they think it's mitochromial instead of mitochondrial

a particular poster always makes me nervous bc i want to engage but am positive, based on evidence in their comments, that there's no way to engage without running a nontrivial risk of being randomly yelled at just realized i can just...not follow that person. it's allowed.

there isn't enough Pilates in the world to let me accomplish some of the reaches you see people making in Genius lyrics interpretation comments

Media execs have fallen prey to a propaganda and harassment campaign that has completely divorced them from what people actually want right now. Both their insular information environments (group chats, podcasts) and ambient noise (Twitter reactionaries) have put them in a very stupid bubble.

the thing with most or all fictional dystopias is competence. we never see FearNet vendors taking kickbacks from installer contractors to sign off on dummy terminals that aren't hooked up to anything, causing huge gaps in FearNet coverage

10 years since I decided it looked like a crocodile 😀🔭🧪

If you know of a neighbour working for DHS - and especially ICE, make sure your neighbours know about them too. Make their regular day to day life outside work full of moments of "you chose poorly, and fuck you".

this is 100% meeting notes from an elden ring stand up

can confirm, also XNJ knows from fuckin' delightful and this is an expert opinion

this is something you just have to live with if you are even barely well-known online; people make up elaborate stories about you in their heads. it will always happen and you cannot give a shit about it, only stomp on it if they try to spread these weird tales to anybody you actually know.

at this point it's like we don't *have* a congress. vestigial-ass branch of government, utterly supine, an embarrassment

ASCII walkthroughs were a golden age and delivering all walkthroughs through goddamn videos is an absolute monstrosity

I cannot emphasize enough how unhelpful it is to make the joke or comment — I’ve been guilty of making it at times myself — that this is conservative “cancel culture,” it’s not. It’s an authoritarian, cultish, censorship project run by the most powerful people in the federal government…

"what number we gotta say to not get fired/unpersoned" is a good way to generate data on the economy right

My pal Lisa writes books and you can get in on this for the low low investment of zero dollars do it

Someone with a display name that indicates a belief that facts are more important than feelings is arguing with me in my mentions because their feelings about how the law works are different from the facts. Social media always delivers.

as a chubby nerd who works out sometimes, is hot as hell, and hasn't worried about 'being gay' in decades, can confirm

No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

i want a board game where it's kill dr lucky but instead of dr lucky it's abe no seimei and instead of a mansion it's heian-era kyoto and player movement is restricted by the unlucky direction dictated by your horoscope

far as i can tell people who use the term 'PMC' mean by it 'workers, but you know, ones i don't like'

Everything about this Administration specifically and the GOP generally makes a lot more sense when you realize they think their supporters are empty-headed morons, ready to be told what to think. It's why they are so shocked and offended when they get actual pushback.

the raw fervor with which people will jump out of the woodwork to nitpick any data that shows literally anything improving from 100 or 50 years ago is really quite depressing. like, we're all here for accuracy but a lot of folks seem heavily invested in a belief that all progress is illusory

I feel like I owe Kether Donohue an apology for repeatedly thinking her notable performance as Peanut Hamper on Lower Decks was Kristen Schaal but in my defense it is an extremely Schaal role

the hiring of Olivia Nuzzi by Vanity Fair makes the new rules of media clear: ❌ lightly criticizing Charlie Kirk ✅ FaceTime fingerblasting with your story’s subject, RFK Jr.

This is right but what's happening now is also on a larger scale and casting a broader net at mainstream opposition than McCarthy. It wasn't small, but it is possible to overstate the scale of how big that was. I'd say now is the worst since WWI & Wilson, and before that only Alien & Sedition Acts.

BACKFLASH (Richard Stark, 2011)

The administration is extraordinarily and increasingly unpopular. They’re incompetent and vastly undermanned. They’re flailing in the courts even with the assists from their colleagues on SCOTUS. Inflation is skyrocketing and jobs are disappearing. There’s no reason to roll over for them!

In a long technical writing career, I've been lucky enough to work at 2 places with technical editors. They are invaluable.

Japan has a wrestling camp for kids where at the end they have a show match in front of their parents to show off what they learned. Thought you'd enjoy this.

sorry @mewtype.online but i wasn't even able to finish episode 1 of symphogears, glad it makes you happy but oof very much Not For Me

the South Korean protests of the 80s are essential study for right now because they were, for all intents and purposes, a low-level civil war between the state and its citizens

there are so many documents which are IF I DID IT but for some atrocity committed out of incompetence or malice

his popularity being underwater includes the sympathy bump. a plurality of respondents took a look at a guy who got his throat blown out on live video in front of his wife and said to a stranger: that fucking guy sucked.

the craziest thing about tankies is that the soviet archives have been open since 1991 and they are making arguments where the counterargument is "the guy in charge of the ministry you're talking about personally wrote a memo saying that the comintern line was a lie"

this DOJ can barely put their fucking pants on in the morning, they simply are not ready and are not prepared to fight every single city and half the states on every ticky tacky issue which those cities and states previously gave them a pass on

having an 'endgame progression' should be an implicit admission of design failure. if there's still game to play the game hasn't ended, obviously
