We need to make rereading King's LFBJ mandatory for white people. Twice a year. And yes, there will be a test.

Straight up.

Okay, why isn't MCL getting any book requests? Hey all you queers encouraging people to read anything other than HP! Tell MCL what you like and let the experts help you find 100 things to read yourself or recommend to Michael Ian Black.

Look at what fresh hell the mouth-breather-in-chief has unleashed. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/23/u...

“Pope Leo made a plea on Wednesday for countries to offer their ​citizens universal healthcare, calling it a ‘moral imperative’ that ‌people have access to the health services they need.” www.reuters.com/business/hea...

JK Rowling: hello children Rowling: i have exciting newssss Rowling: there'ss a new harry potter out King: a new harry potter?!?!?! King: OMGG I AM SO EXCITED! Poe: steve, no! Poe: we discussed this Poe: you know what the harry potter profits are used for King: i King: yes of course King: King: but

OTOH, damage or even complete destruction of 5 aerial tankers is a minor hit to US military power and if it happened during WW2 I doubt Roosevelt would be briefed on it. OTOH, this ain't WW2, there ain't that much going on, and this was the first indication of Iranian capacity to degrade US forces.

Good thing that Louis DeJoy stopped the electrification of the delivery fleet!

OMG this is not just good, this is good in such a very Crip Dyke way that I would be tempted to steal it and pass it off as my own if it wasn't such a well known fact that I can't draw and I'm not this funny.

I have the stomach to say one more thing: as meaningful as what students saw in response to their protests (repression) is what they didn't (US shifting away from support for genocide). describing this as *their* failure as opposed to the supposed adults in the room is a joke and not the funny kind

It costs 0$ to Repost a Black disabled queer small business! It could lead to my next sale. Here's new patterns for my carbon fiber foldable walking sticks!! Each pattern needs to sell at least 50 each to make them a reality!! Or else I'll have to refund them. Please support! Store: Bibipins.com

Oh, @manicpanic.bsky.social , your namesake is such a cutie who has gone through so much!

1/2: This post nails the heart of why I interacted with Michael Ian Black the way that I did. I'm interested in people knowing themselves, confronting this shit, and making conscious decisions rather than avoiding difficult topics.

It’s actually necessary to sit with “I hate what I’m feeling right now and I don’t want to feel it again, so I AM NOT GOING TO DO THE THING AGAIN.” That’s how we learn. And also, that’s how we develop enough distress tolerance that shame is a calibration tool and not fuel for self-loathing.

Trump has an incomplete understanding of regional troop movements and the geo-political complexities of US-sponsored violence in the Persian Gulf region? You don't say?

Honestly, fuck off.

My resignation letter

There's a reason I follow both @mattbaume.bsky.social and @chucktingle.bsky.social This exchange sums it up very well, with a side order of why I don't follow Matt Yglesias or Chuck Schumer.

someone on NextDoor claimed owls in the neighborhood are carrying off cats and small dogs and my first thought was "coyotes have learned to type"

Good gods, someone tap McNeill's sign harder bc her arm is gonna wear out if she has to do all this herself.

Sisyphus but every day he unsubscribes from marketing and promotion emails.

My THORNS!

You know it just occurred to me to wonder, but now that I've had the thought, I might as well ask the internet: Do you think it's at all possible that poverty and/or race is determining WHICH moms get arrested? Asking for a racist kleptocracy.

Personally I like Cori Close or Shea Ralph as COY. DPOY should NOT go to Sarah Strong. POY is, IMO, going to a worthy player if it goes to Betts, Blakes, or Strong. I love Fudd, but when her own coach prefers her teammate (Sarah Strong) to Fudd for POY, who am I to say he's wrong?

"My cloaca brings all the cards to the yard. I could teach ya, but I'd have to charge. My cloaca? It would have to charge."

The birds and the bees are not nearly as pornographically inclined as I was led to assume. The way that they were hyped up by my parents I hit play expecting something hotter than a @siridahl.com film, but I gotta tell you that despite the flatting colors of their costumes, Dahl's still hotter.

1/2: This is THE key question for @michaelianblack.bsky.social With humanity insulting each other all day every day, why is it the take, "Genocide is bad and I think if you give money to someone who has promised to use her profits that you are bad," that is so important to oppose? Why that take?

It's not the national news the US needs, but it is the national news the US deserves.

"Labeling" is also speech, and it would be well within my rights to label you a bad person or even a bad sea anemone. So the real question is why do you, Michael Ian Black, object to this use of my speech? IDK you, do you object when Ron calls Malfoy a tosser? Why is this speech so bad?

Your Cherokee words for today. The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically.

1/2: They're not using transphobia to "trick" voters. They're offering bigots a deal: would you sacrifice your own rights if you could hurt trans people? And OF COURSE they say yes. Are ppl not remembering we get stabbed, shot, and beaten? Those attackers risk their freedom to hurt trans ppl.

The question that broke America fundamentally was ‘do all people deserve basic rights?’ This question was too hard for us. Too hard for our leadership. It still is. So now all of our rights are in jeopardy.

Let the people know!!!

Talking women's hoops and March Madness and found this conversation. Don't know how anyone could disagree with this take. 3Meeks era was the best squad of Summit's career, and Summit was the best to ever coach the game. Chamique Holdsclaw was a supernatural phenomenon.

Nobody passes like UConn. Ashlynn shade shovels the ball 3' sideways while faced backwards in the backcourt on defense not bc she couldn't turn around and start the break, but bc her teammate is facing the right way and can start the break 0.1sec faster. Mastery. #womenshoops #ncaa #marchmadness

Abbey has points here, but my biggest problem is the making of these arguments at all (which Abbey is not doing, just describing). Asserting that we know her ID is asserting that 3rd parties know better than trans people know themselves. We don't know her self-ID and can't ask. Shut up, Moby.

Lola was absolutely trans positive. The protagonist loves Lola despite not always knowing what words to use to describe her. He's blindsided and responds with embracing positivity and love and acceptance long before he achieves intellectual understanding. Don't need a GS degree to love trans ppl.

Nah. Pass. Buttigieg goes from mayor of a town with a smaller voting population than some university student body president elections, to running for president. Platner goes directly from "nipple tattoo nazi" to Senate candidate, with no qualifications. But AOC is supposed to wait for retirees?

‘While state and federal prosecutors have sent record numbers of people to prison for violent crimes and property- and drug-related offenses, the US retreated from prosecuting and punishing white-collar crime, despite a tsunami of elite-level wrongdoing.’ www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

1/2: I do not seek to minimize the current efforts to eliminate trans people as trans individuals and as a trans "people" in the demographic sense. But I do want us to have some hope: We've done DIY before and we can do it again. Is it desirable? Nope. Is it risky? Yep. Is it doable? Yes.

This social contagion "Low T Syndrome" bullshit uses peer pressure to force otherwise healthy individuals to feed money to doctors and testosterone makers for unnecessary and mutilizing gender affirming care. Strong recommend that states ban this practice and try Low T doctors in The Hague.

Indigenous Peoples have been pointing this out for a looooong time. Especially in terms of creating resilience in these growing "seasons" of wildfires.

Hot Take: Shel Silverstein helped pioneer graphic novels and visual storytelling.

john w. campbell would have been furious at this idea and therefore we must support it with all of our support

Lindsey Whalen & Janel McCarville have been waiting for Minnesota to get back to the sweet 16 for a long time. Nice work Minnie!

My favourite Madonna is Beyoncé.

Sorry, I can't side with @socialistdogmom.bsky.social Podcasts, if they are famous for anything, are famous for being global and comprehensive. Why would anyone with an education set up a podcast that has a specific focus and niche? Are you trying to fool people?

@bbcnewsnight.bsky.social 's network parent sucks rocks. So does @washingtonpost.com , though anyone paying attention knew that. They strand reporters in war zones to save money. Sanewashing Trump is almost the least of their sins. @usatoday.com is just USA today. I don't expect better.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine hastened this process and changed European thinking. The US/Israel bombing of Iran is speeding up this process further, changing European thinking yet again as they realize that their economies can be sabotaged by hostilities that don't even involve European countries.
