There are few things worse than guys who start out as Stupid Version Of Richard Dawkins, then "believe" without actually trying to change in any way or even being interested in changing and think they're okay just being the same a-hole for a different cause.

there's a guy out here in a "Support ICE" t-shirt. buddy, I will support rain, snow, sleet, or hail. I will put a typhoon through college. but trust that the only thing ICE is getting from me is rock salt.

@ouisequitur.bsky.social clarimy activity?

involving my friends in my interests

j.d. vance is about to go bowser on the pope

in other news, here's the Famous George!, the toothless orange (foster fail) who lives with my folks. I love him very much!

it's true

the level of friendlessness that j.d. vance exhibits... buddy has to kidnap the pope

good insight from Juli:

“When we silence grief we silence empathy too”—Colin Hortman Really interesting thinking about this, now, the gross human rights violations that are committed against humans by ICE in multiple places across the country every day, & thinking how we never mourned collectively the death toll of COVID.

when all this is over, when we've outlived all the badness, I wonder about the measurable impact on our brains: years of heightened cortisol, wrought by his unstable games.

Please call if you are able!! US Capitol Switchboard phone number is +1 (202) 224-3121

sending all my love to friends near and far, the ones whose names are in my heart and those I haven't yet been introduced to. the fight for a gentler world is hard and everlasting, but it depends on individual people doing something--not everything, but what they can.

tell Congress that recess is over.

a script for today: "My name is [yours]. I'm a constituent from [city, state, zip], calling with an urgent message for [Senator / Representative]."

now would be a good time to facilitate Trump's mobile game app addiction... he will drop all this nonsense with the strait if we can just get him on Pokémon GO

we can get Trump off socials by showing him Jynx

that's exactly right

does Joe Biden have a phone... I feel like Pokémon GO would rock his world...

the comma splice is a creative choice

dreamt that the big cats on Broadway made Jeopardy! the Musical!, and part of the thing involved conscripting an audience member into the show, so I got called up, aced it, and everyone was really impressed, also John Mulaney was my friend who came to my house for spinach dip

I spent an afternoon in the remains of the lake, picking through algal mud. in one spot, I found a silver spoon, wheat pennies, antique beef bones. the coins and cutlery date to the first half of the twentieth century.

the water crisis in Corpus Christi, Texas is the worst Coleridge parody: this city, lipped by the Gulf of Mexico, is in sustained drought. residents are made to ration showers, dishwater, the negligible usage of ordinary life; meanwhile, refineries go on exhausting the supply of fresh water.

the trump administration is selling this country wholesale to rapacious, extractive industries that will destroy our collective resources for private profit morethanjustparks.substack.com/p/breaking-t...

In fairness it’s not like the consequences of having a mad king unilaterally take the country to war on a whim were so incredibly obvious that you could see it coming from the 18th and 19th centuries www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

this is really shaping up to be a ridiculous century

cvs, my old foe

if everyone just left each other the fuck alone about what they plan to do with their reproductive organs one way or another, the world would be much improved

god bless!!!

can someone edit Goku screaming in a coffee shop

The idea that we're giving children less rights than adults and not letting them exist in public if we object to misbehavior is a bit silly. As if we wouldn't also object to an adult running around knocking things over and screeching at the top of their lungs at an otherwise peaceful coffee shop?

if I seem awfully fervent, it's because I'm fresh off another "why aren't you married and having babies?" chat with older relatives, and polite demurrals have yet to get my point across, it would seem

she's not supposed to be mister rogers!

in his direction, to be clear... he knew what buttressed my hairline, that he was both cause and progenitor...

the hate chappell roan gets for existing in public... it's a good thing none of these people have encountered me in the wild

tiny orange update: my parents have fallen in love with him, and he's theirs for keeps! :)

This is the only thing you need to know. Democrats want to open TSA. Republicans are refusing because they want to attach ICE funding. That’s why there are long lines. ICE.

the update on this guy is that he is very happy and increasingly healthy, though still of negligible tooth

want to tell your reps how you feel? these handy dandy postcards from Bench Pressed in Minneapolis give you somewhere to start. I'll ship this little stack to whoever would like and use them--just comment here to claim. :)

it's so wild that the Club Chalamet lady has likened herself to a hip yet sagacious aunt... I've got aunts, and they do not issue public statements on my professional failings. they're asking why I dress badly, why I'm still single, etc etc, purely off the cuff. I'm getting read, unscripted.

Absolutely gutting story on Annunciation parents pouring their souls into enlightening legislators, knowing they’d the GOP brick wall. But the piece contains one of the most horrifying paragraphs an American parent could read; it will stay with me: www.startribune.com/in-living-ro... (gift)

our time has come @goodkid-saadcity.bsky.social

I would give anything to be beautiful and dim enough not to know people are only so nice to me because of that beauty.

you get the sense that what Zelenskyy really wanted was a gun, but all the store had was Orlando Bloom, so he has to put on his listening face and be gracious about the whole thing

reminded by @mostlymartha.bsky.social of Orlando Bloom, the original Chalamet
