STOP RESTING ON MY LAURELS

A lot of people are talking about their favorite @theonion.com articles and I really want to shoutout this article that @amyacowan.bsky.social and I have sent back and forth to each other over the years

@profanity.accountant OH great Bluesky account, how much do I swear?

I called both of my senators to encourage them to change their votes to no on the dumb pinky promise bill. Sucks that I have to do this on a Sunday night, but here we are.

If he keeps this shit up I’m gonna stop using my Renner App

Congrats to our catboy!! #GrahaTia ❤️

JUST IN: Mamdani, a democratic socialist and state assemblymember, will make history as the first Muslim and South Asian person — as well as the youngest in over a century — to serve as New York City mayor.

ICE has beaten, detained & arrested 170 citizens, at least 3 of whom were pregnant George Retes is a US veteran who was held in solitary for 3 days Kristi Noem says it’s not happening, but @motherjones.com has done the reporting If they treat citizens this way, imagine what they do to immigrants

The average US taxpayer spends $36 a year on SNAP You know what they spend on corporate subsidies? $670 Poor and disabled people who need food are not the problem If you’re angry about “your money” feeding people but not angry it’s giving tax cuts to the wealthy? You’re doing their dirty work.

No single meme has been so dangerous to American civil society as Reagan's quip "the nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the Government, and I'm here to help." The truth is the U.S. federal government has been of enormous benefit to more Americans than any corporation.

Happy Halloween! 🎃 My one line review of Weapons, which I just watched: What the fuck? (Complimentary)

I just heard an ad for an AI agent that monitors other AI agents for mistakes. What if that AI agent makes a mistake? How many monitoring AI agents do we need? If only there was a way to have one agent take care of everything, and if they make a mistake, they know it and can rectify it. 🐢

SNAP is not the reason your taxes are high. SNAP recipients don’t need to “just go get a job”. Most of them work. The rest are disabled, elderly, children or caregivers. People need & deserve assistance Your taxes fund wars and tax cuts for the ultra rich Be mad about that

When the parents share parents, the development process of the offspring is slowed significantly. Speak slowly and clearly and refrain from multisyllabic words if you want them to comprehend what you're saying.

I’m sorry but this the only thing I can see when I see Curtis sliwa in that red hat he wears

Just in time for spooky season! A spooky book that has nothing to do with Halloween. 👻 In which the foreshadowing is apparent, a militia of characters appears in the first five pages, and Fear Street boyfriends continue to be terrible. 📚💙 #booksky #horror amyacowan.substack.com/p/rereading-...

Trump's FCC tried to take Jimmy Kimmel off the air...literally a month ago today! Do they think we are stupid?

When elected President, my first order will be to turn that fucking $200 million ballroom into an all-year Spirit Halloween. And everyone can go it in expect billionaires.

So...does being hateful and unlikeable make you ugly or are ugly people naturally predisposed to be hateful and unlikeable? Is this an asshole chicken/rotten egg situation or what?

Blessed are the frogs, for they keep making authoritarians look incredibly stupid

I just saw an ICE ad on Pluto.TV. Not sure if others have either, but here's where you can let them know that it's not cool: support.pluto.tv/s/contactsup...

When I was a kid, I wanted to talk about my favorite book on Reading Rainbow so bad. I had no idea how those kids got on the show. Then it occurred to me: they're on TV, so that means the TV must be the key to getting on the show. I spoke at my TV while showing off my favorite books for months.

We can fund health care and keep the government running, or we can shut everything down to raise prices on people. To me, that’s a pretty easy choice.

I am an adult and I *don't* understand how this works. As far as I'm concerned, people who can double dutch have enchanted their legs with ancient magics I am not privy to.

Hey, Argath, the more I spend time with you, the more I regret saving your ass... #finalfantasytactics

Don't parking spot camp me at Costco. I have a hot dog, soda, a month's worth of chips, and a proclivity for pettiness. I can sit here all day.

I watched Late Night with the Devil. It's a good horror movie with an awesome premise, but it's marred by the use of AI art that a real artist would have done for 50 bucks and a credit. #horror www.hulu.com/movie/late-n...

"for heavens sakes folks, all political careers are going die at some point" I say in a video recorded at a local graveyard while people are crying at the final resting places of their loved ones

Look at the mitochondrial damage on this mf. Inflamed as hell, just seriously fucked up mitochondria.

One sentence review of a book I just read: In a world of coincidences, prophecy, more coincidences, even more prophecy, and a few more coincidences, a woman who is supposedly smart doesn't do anything smart and doesn't know that the sun is a star.

I watched Presence. It's a good, interesting story, but I wouldn't call it a horror movie. Thriller, yes. Horror, no. If my sister could watch it just fine, it's not a horror movie. (Sorry, @alyssapants.bsky.social, but it's true.)

OMG, I thought Wings Hauser was the name of the main character on the TV show "Wings," a show I have never seen...
