As someone who may or may not someday need a 1990s clipart portrait of former Arizona governor Fyfe Symington, I appreciate this account having my back.

Happy World Wombat Day! Sound on to listen to the very soothing munching noises of this chonky wombat...

He would be arrested for attempted murder by the end of the day

I know everyone’s following the Louvre heist but I would like to point your attention to the California LEGO LOOTER www.nytimes.com/2025/10/18/u...

I like how the NYT tried to do a “some experts say” framing, and the expert was like, you do not need an expert opinion to see this is bad.

Wake up, babe, the least subtle visual metaphor in history just dropped

Responding to people trying to defend the ACA from being gutted with “if you love Obamacare so much why don’t you marry it?” is a choice. No one loves the ACA. No one thinks it’s adequate. And the benefits it does provide are a matter of life or death for many, many people.

My congregation has a fund to support immigrants with legal expenses. It’s helped over 40 people in Central Ohio since 2018, and now they’re crowdfunding for more resources. www.faithify.org/FILA-Fund-fo...

Sorry but this is the funniest headline I will read all year

Shoutout to whoever was like the news sucks, let’s spice it up by doing a jewel heist at the Louvre

The full statehouse rally from yesterday.

I found the Zoom link for that 3:30 meeting after all, so I guess I should go.

There could be solid ICE counter-recruitment campaigns launched to discourage people from working for them and to encourage those working for them to quit. There are lots of examples of such campaigns from anti-war organizing.

Y’all here is a fun fact: Portland has a brand new volunteer organization called “operation inflation” that allows people to borrow inflatable costumes for protests. They just started a couple weeks ago and have like a 160 costume library (and counting because people keep donating).

i have a past of heavy computer use that i don’t like to talk about

I'M SCREAMING THIS IS SO GOOD

“There are no kings in America!” My brain: “and the streets are paved with cheese”

not necessarily the way I was expecting rising inflation to manifest itself as a potential liability to the incumbent

See you at the rallies today!!

this rocks. when indiana edu killed the student newspaper, Purdue stepped up, printed the forbidden issue, drove it to Bloomington and stocked the boxes.

notice the general mood of the timeline? how everyone is in a good mood and there’s a lot less misery and dooming? how there’s a lot of “we’re going to beat these assholes”? anyway that’s why these events are important

Supporters of male primogeniture during the Anarchy of the 12th century:

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states. Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

In case any Central Ohio people don’t know: our big No Kings rally will be at the statehouse at 4 pm. There are other protests around Central Ohio in the late morning and early afternoon. Everything’s on the nokings.org map

I suspect the MAGA government decided to launch all these Bluesky accounts tonight to try to bait people in advance of No Kings. These people have incurable 4chan brain and this is how they operate. Block them. Do not engage. Do not give them what they want.

i imagine there’s about to be an influx of MAGA chuds spewing their bullshit but i really can’t stress enough that if we don’t give them oxygen, they’ll get bored and leave. block early and often.

thanks for the #protip, subway

[guy who invented the term “leafpeeping” on his first time looking at fall foliage] okay, first of all, this needs to sound much more perverted

and may god have mercy on us all

So what are the odds that one of their 'fans' will try to create an anti-woke D&D and produce the next FATAL?

Everyone’s been so focused on pronouns, but it seems we need a refresher on prepositions.

I’m going to get a baby in the mail, aren’t I

We talk about the big money and now federal interests manipulating the science reform movement, but I don't think we talk enough about the ideological moves that have been going on inside retraction watch for years. It's like FIRE

what the FUCK is going on over there

They said ‘Monte-WHAT?!!?’

Enjoy the Reformation and Halloween with the classic 95 Reese's being nailed to a door

many conversations I have had with complete normie libs, the kind who have a tote bag from donating to NPR and shop at Whole Foods, involve the kind of rhetoric that under no circumstances should be put on the internet people are very mad

I think a lot of people don’t realize how insanely pervasive and coercive the early 2010s “the only way to make it as a young writer is to publish insanely confessional, raw online essays about your darkest secrets and trauma” culture was.

while it may not seem like it to someone scrolling by with a cursory look, what i am creating is not ‘ironic’ nor a ‘get rich quick scheme’ and it is certainly not AI GENERATED. it is a genuine expression of my heart and my beliefs about sexuality and art and love and freedom and curiosity and joy

If BlueSky is such an echo chamber, why do all the people I follow hate each other?

"I experience abjection only if an Other has settled in place and stead of what will be 'me.' Not at all an other with whom I identify and incorporate, but an Other who precedes and possesses me, and through such possession causes me to be." - Julia Kristeva on being blocked by someone on Bluesky

you fucked around and now the Episcopalians are doing memes. are you happy now. are you

So like this is funnier and more offensive than anything anyone else said about Kirk that got them fired

Had a bit of a gut punch (that rationally shouldn’t be one) and just want to be moody all day. In a somewhat different way than how I just want to be moody all day most days. And yet there are time-sensitive tasks.
