yeah tell me something i don’t know

my this is not a golden calf t-shirt is raising a lot of questions answered by my t-shirt

this post is for who it’s for, but having tried a *lot* of fitness apps over the years, Ladder really does have it figured out. understands the value of having diverse options, good navigation and adaptability, easy to track your progress. they’re not paying me to say any of this! i’m just a fan.

Like every Mother's Day today I am asking that you consider a donation to @nationalbailout.bsky.social to help free mamas who are separated from their families by the injustices of pretrial detention systems. secure.actblue.com/donate/freeb...

it’s not that there are no good men. it’s that bad men decided being a good man was too hard and made that everyone else’s problem. more or less always been the case.

Watching David Attenborough get highly deserved praised for his century is reminding me: There is no crisis of masculinity, as such. We have plenty of positive male role models in our society. They just aren’t being pushed into young men’s feeds by nihilistic ad networks and social platforms.

Right wing propagandist outlets should be viewed less as money losing endeavors than investments that pay dividends in other ways.

do we think this level of detail was absolutely necessary

some wisdom from james wilson, framer. "The truth is that, in our governments, the supreme, absolute, and uncontrollable power remains in the people."

mario kart is making us all racecar drivers

everyone lecturing each other about whether to freak out about the cruise ship, call that the rantavirus

I think a lot of people are underestimating just how politically radicalizing this stuff is, when you see what the right is getting away with, including with the blessing of the Supreme Court majority

*spins chair around* "you know who else believes that accumulating wealth is inherently immoral?"

It struck me today that Attenborough is the subject of a brutally ironic curse: to have lived long enough to see the technology he uses for his life's work move beyond his wildest dreams, while the natural world he uses it to document has suffered decades of brutal declines

Iran keeps cooking our ass with these videos

the thing about batman is that he’s just so cool

Severance is a great book about moving to Chicago

there's a disease sweeping the streets of new york city that's so viral you can get it just by looking at me. the disease is called ...feeling frisky 😉

Again this should inspire wall-to-wall media coverage for months. The crowning achievement of the Civil Rights Movement is dead. Black people just lost all of their remaining political power in the South. This is a monumental moment in American history that simply isn't being treated as such.

That's a good point, Mr. Secretary. Rats are plentiful, and jam packed with the protein that makes up a vital part of any healthy diet. Eating one of the Hontavirus-infected rats is not only good for you, it's leadership. Would you like me to show you how to ship a box of them to the White House?

they did the same thing to nashville five years ago. the state’s largest city — the source of most of tennessee’s income — does not exist electorally exist. was shocked this didn’t get more attention at the time. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

i've been resistant to this idea but i am coming around to the theory that rfk jr simply thinks modern medicine heals too many people and a good "healthcare system" is one that just lets sick people die out.

cruise people making their bad decisions everyone else’s problem color me shocked

Lisa is a wonderful writer and thoughtful critic. I would feel this way even if she wasn't an internet friend, which she has been for years now. Any investment in paying her to write about movies is money well spent.

he can get away with saying this because he knows many americans don’t even bother reading supreme court decisions, assuming the language will be too lofty and erudite for their poor minds to comprehend. i promise you, you are capable of grappling with the dizzying intellect of brett kavanaugh.

A nightclub in Mexico City has gone viral for charging Americans a nearly $300 cover charge, while citizens from any other country pay just $20 for access

you've got to be kidding me

Every other week there's a new piece of popeaganda and it totally works on me

Deeply demonic. This is political retaliation.

i don't think this is as off-base as a lot of bsky seems to but imo the culprit here is less academic jargon and more consultant-pilled dems who very clearly have no actual values beyond whatever the last big donor or focus group told them to think. not "gobbledygook." just fake.

I think Colbert would be a good President and a formidable candidate

In 1892, an American conservatory in NYC that wanted its students to get some European influence hired Czech composer and Moravian folk music aficionado Antonin Dvorak as director. While there, he was introduced to spirituals and, upon hearing "Swing Low Sweet Chariot," told a newspaper:

sadly among the funniest foreign policy statements of all time

Dawkins spending his entire career berating basically pretty normal people for being so stupid as to believe in God and then immediately giving himself Roko's Basilisk Derangement Syndrome after talking to the AI catgirl waifus is just the funniest shit.

Coolest guy in the world.

my first edition copy of The Odyssey is clear: they were all speaking with british accents.

I object to Bezos et al as much as the next person with a working heart and even a minimum sense of human decency, but I do think calling the Met Gala the Hunger Games is a little silly at this point when we have like eight to ten real things that are just straightforwardly The Hunger Games

ah.

cheat codes for the normies (cheeky soda refills, “service” pets on airplanes, sharing netflix logins) must be strangled for the moral fiber of the country. cheat codes for the rich (no taxes on a billion dollars; buying a policy, a judge, a whole supreme court) is an immutable part of the system.

hmmm

it’s been forever. hello old friend.
