(scrolling Bluesky) I reject the premise. I reject the premise. Granted. I reject the premise. Not my fetish. Granted. I reject the premise. Funny. I reject the premise.

I've had a lot of chats w/folks lamenting the state of peer review at ACL venues. #TIL that @aclrollingreview.bsky.social's Reviewer Guide includes a great intro that we should be passing to new reviewers: aclrollingreview.org/reviewerguid... Not the same as training, obvs, but a good start!

This post isn’t about Star Wars.

BREAKING: PM Keir Starmer responds to U.S. threats in Greenland

COW TOOLS COW TOOLS COW TOOLS

one of the things that's fucked up in bsky's culture is that many people have learned that they get scolded if the pictures they post don't have the little "alt" tag but either have no idea what it's for or don't give a fuck so they just type two to three words that are absolutely useless

[wokely] so much for bisexual erasure

comme d'habitude, les patriotes autoproclamés sont les premiers traitres

with what wondrous habitude of unconscious skill the whaleman will maintain an erect posture in his boat, even when pitched about by the most riotously perverse and cross-running seas

From the moment we know a technology steals/obfuscates people's labour to perform task X, it matters 0 how effective the people's labour you steal to do X is. They will likely get better at X over time and you will get better at stealing. Nothing of this justifies the theft. bsky.app/profile/oliv...

oh my god

Dressing up as a Long Island ghost so I can convince Chuck Schumer that the Baileys actually find threatening war with Europe more upsetting than egg prices

well maybe it should function differently then????

A few years ago, @sentantiq.bsky.social and I wrote this piece on the deplorable and false nature of the Hero’s Journey. I do still truly believe that the idea of “rugged individualism” is an extremely harmful philosophy. lareviewofbooks.org/article/the-...

took me a solid 30 seconds to understand that it wasn't s metaphor

As I have said countless times before, Ganz knows ball and people hate him because he knows that he knows ball and doesn’t have to be humble about it lol.

hmmm

*nervous laughter*

An AuDHD woman is actually genuinely so good at handling rejection that it doesn’t even make her feel like her spine is being torn from her body, not even a little bit, it has been reported.

sometimes people are annoying to me because i think they're my own age and really immature and then i learn they're 10 years younger

GALADRIEL (eyeing Frodo significantly): Remember... even the SMALLEST person can make a difference. FRODO: That's actually extremely racist, and not what anyone needed to hear right now, but thanks.

Jay I think you printed those t shirts a tad early

Everybody thinks 'https://' stands for 'hypertext transfer protocol secure' but it actually stands for 'head to this place, sucka' followed by a colon and two laser sounds

we do have to take responsibility for the ways in which our illnesses effect our communities negatively, whether our illnesses are making us feel like gods from the heavens, or the worst of the worst moldering away beneath the earth. it's not really fair to demand it of one but not the other

she ply on my mouth until i carver

saaaaaaaaatana

lacks a kitchen that's big enough to cook for all the friends I'm inviting to come live in there

Me: put your fingers in my mouth Dentist: please don't say it like that

Being an adult is mostly bad (taxes, loss) but there are perks (drink as much orange juice as you want)

you can trace that shit as far back as the roman republic, it's often very useful for elites to use rural folks as pretexts to enforce whatever self-serving shit they want

Living 30 minutes away from a decent Thai restaurant does not grant people magical powers of wisdom and morality. It is insane that American culture still pretends that this is true.

I feel pretty misunderstood by people living in rural areas, and yet mysteriously, this isn’t considered a problem. I’m sick of putting up with this idiotic display of obeisance to chucklefucks simply because they live in rural areas.

On parle beaucoup du Groenland en ce moment mais décentrons notre regard pour observer la beauté 😍 de ses espaces avec le photographe Dennis Lehtonen. + de photos ici denniina.com Pour le reste.....🤮

He enjoys the spectacle of degrading women. Forcing a woman to sacrifice to him the world's highest civilian honor, which SHE EARNED in the lights of the Nobel committee, has the same appeal to him as rape. He knows she doesn't want to do it, and that's why he likes it.

I wrote about Parmigiano Reggiano's PR push and how it wants to eradicate "parmesan" slate.com/life/2026/01...

what do you mean “appears to show” why can no one in the news state factual information anymore????

yeah, sounds about right for the "we're destined to be great, but our enemies work for our destruction" ideology

I miss when killing nazis was seen as objectively cool and good

Quand Ahmadinejad dit "Il n'y a pas d'homosexuels en Iran", il ne dit pas "Il n'y a pas d'identité anachronique basée sur une conception occidentale de la sexualité" (🤡🤦🏻‍♀️) Il dit "T'inquiète ça fait des décennies qu'on traque et qu'on brule tout ce qui n'arrange pas notre narratif hétéropatriarcal"

AAAA

Most of the time the Americans are wrong with their negative opinions, cause they can't be fucked to learn anything about any other country. You need to hate my land *correctly*

what an affordable bird

On voudrait apporter la démonstration que la Bretagne est sous administration FNSEA qu'on ne s'y prendrait pas autrement. 🙃
