one thing worth observing here is that so many of these pundits aren't earnestly trying to understand what happened in the world as much as they are shadowboxing with people they don't like on the internet. stringinamaze.net/p/the-pundit...

stupid sexy Mr. Dink

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

I cannot even begin to express my rage at this lie reading this through me back into my pandemic EMT life, attempting to resuscitate a child experiencing a cardiac arrest secondary to COVID while a father says “we heard that the vaccine was riskier than COVID for kids” and a mother wails in agony

Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.

Genuinely almost half of my native-Texan family I saw at the reunion are in the process of leaving Texas

Trans youth deserve to live as their true selves in school, on sports teams, at home, and everywhere else.

New thanksgiving tradition I call "fire too big"

Drinking the "fermented wine." It's very good. Can't believe no one has thought of this before

Threw my back out and now I'm Thanksgiving wasted. Merry Holidays or whatever

We don't like dirty old men for very good reasons but I'm over 40 and sitting here watching Myth Busters, still distracted by how attractive Kari is and I don't like it either!

Watching Columbo "This can't really be fugu sashimi??" "It is. I made it myself" lmao

Heard at Thanksgiving: "we got some wine that's fermented"

Taking ever increasing doses of metamucil to assert dominance over my colon

New sentence just dropped

it's giving Thanks

Friendly reminder that striking workers are asking you not to patronize ANY Starbucks store. If you're traveling this week, your airport definitely has other options. Zero reason to even think about crossing a picket line!

Today I tried looking for what the difference was between the different headphone noise-cancelling techs and it gave me an AI-generated gibberish answer. So I went to the first website result and it was also AI gibberish. Have we destroyed the web in just a few years?

I gave my mom what I thought was a soup-themed bath bomb some years back, but it was actually soup. She had to call my dad in to get her out of the greasy tub.

The evolution of the BBC article on Graham Linehan's conviction and how it describes the trans victim of this crime is beyond atrocious. They actively went out of their way to dehumanize the victim here. They removed all pronouns for her and gendered honorifics such as "Ms."

Jacob Marley looking gnarly Is that your friend or spoiled CUSTARD A warning or a spot of MUSTARD

Between Thursday and next Monday, join us in hitting pause on buying from corporations that enable Trump’s fascist agenda: weaintbuyingit.com/?utm_source=bluesky

We're still boycotting Starbucks, and you should too. @sbworkersunited is demanding an end to union busting and a fair union contract that includes: -Higher pay -Better staffing -Protections at work We unite with workers, not billionaires. #NoContractNoCoffee https://seiu.co/NoStarbucks

Media: The unelected oligarch that illegally shut down democratically instituted programs, shut down investigations into his own corruption, and so far killed over half a million starving people didn't do enough

That dog is very stressed, maybe setting off some fireworks near it is a solution

This face is contempt btw

She sees your fandom as affirmation, your money as funding for the harm she causes to trans people. It doesn't matter how you feel about her work, whether it was a formative touchstone or not. If you still buy the merch or hype up Harry Potter, you are complicit.

Woke up too early so I went back to sleep and now I feel much worse 👍

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

I think I raided with Councilman Mays

Big congrats to the first ever goal by the Seattle Torrent

This guy's deal is very much my shit

one thing i want to emphasize is these "illiberal" and "postliberal" authoritarians are just thieves and crooks! trump is thief. orban is a thief. putin is the biggest thief of them all.

Truly smart devices would choose not to connect to the internet.

Finally throwing out the spindle of blank cd-roms I got for Black Friday c.2003

Nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from the Broadview ICE Detention Center has been "irretrievably destroyed" and cannot be produced as evidence in a lawsuit against the government over abhorrent conditions there: www.404media.co/two-weeks-of...

@govpritzker.illinois.gov I want you to watch this video of me slammed to the ground- why are you allowing this to happen to people you know are on the right side of history. They tied my hands behind my back and when I asked them to be loosened because I was going numb they said, “STFU.”

The Founders were so concerned about bribery that the Constitution forbids it three separate times. Two emoluments clauses ban officials—unambiguously including the president—from accepting things of value, plus bribery is the only named impeachable offense besides treason. Unprecedentedly corrupt.

OK so mods for Cyberpunk 2077 are basically for gooning yeah?

POTUS moved US’s most notorious living pedophile into a cushy prison sitch in exchange for lying for him—emails dropped yesterday underscore as much. As he openly campaigns to have docs about himself & others implicated hidden from the public. Holy shit, media…DO YOUR JOB. Messaging this is easy af

Nothing illustrates the arseholery of the IOC and the British Press more than the use of the image of a not-Trans woman to illustrate a story about trans women being banned (because there are no current trans women competing at this level)

The Republican party is a cyanide milkshake and the Democrat party is a vitamin with no water

"Personalized color combinations" i.e. it comes in different colors $150-$230 This has to be an April fools joke that got released on the wrong day please tell me

Just in case you thought this was about trans athletes. This was solely about creating a fascist and racist gender bureaucracy over what constitutes being feminine enough to be considered a woman. They're targeting cis women who may be intersex and banning them from sport.
