Trump Writes Netanyahu Strongly Worded Check

Marjane Satrapi 1969-2026

Persepolis is among my favorite graphic novels, and I've been thinking about this quote a lot these days for obvious reasons. So sad to hear about Satrapi's passing.

again i argue threads is actually what people think bluesky is lol

If the 60 Minutes thing is proving anything it’s that a lot of people in positions of power think there is no crime greater, no injustice more profound, than being called out for being incompetent when you’re clearly fucking incompetent

Huge shout out to Katie Porter and Matt Mahan for this stupid fucking mess

Most baffling part is he says he uses it mainly for storyboards, but he was already storyboarding like a pro as a child. You don't need it Marty!

It ends today

Wait wait wait I was told repeatedly in 2023/2024 that this kind of thing was simply not possible

They can’t keep getting away with this! @rickyftw.bsky.social @eliotetc.bsky.social

Note to media: police arresting peaceful protesters singing “give peace a chance” is not protesters “clashing” with police. It’s the state violating the First Amendment rights of people upset that human beings who did nothing illegal are being held without due process and being fed maggots.

It's a massive gamble but chatting up the random older dude sitting alone at the bar can get you some insane life lore

They grow very fast

Finished Hacks. What an ending. I am gonna miss the outta this show. Wish I could watch it all over again for the first time.

Gee I wonder why women and girls are less inclined to use tools that were popularized via their ability to create fake nude photos of women and girls

If I could afford it I would move to another continent for six months every other year if it meant not being gang stalked by local politicians every hour of every day

i know it's utterly meaningless at this point but this is still so depressing

The thing that makes “gutter racism” an appropriate term for this is that it goes beyond even what segregation’s savviest defenders were willing to say in public 60-70 years ago. They understood that this level of explicit racial animus was embarrassing to the cause.

What we’re seeing is “respectable” conservatives openly moving to the position that the *only* acceptable form of Christianity is one rooted in white Christian nationalism.

More and more, these radical thoughts are being eSPOUSEd … @theonion.com

Thinking again about the defunct all-salad bar and soup bar Atlanta regional chain restaurant Lettuce Souprise You.

The last thing you see before opening ChatGPT

as part of the spacex ipo presentation they should have to read elon's tweets out loud and say how often he makes them

If you start a bar fight for no reason, and someone wails on you because you attacked them, it is clinically impossible to then act in “self defense”

lmao happy memorial day

Latest guests at the year-round hummingbird birthing clinic on my porch

Cuba has spent years sending the world doctors and nurses while we starve them to death

Watching Kingdom of Heaven (director's cut) a movie about an uneasy truce in the middle east being broken by a power hungry moron who is repeatedly advised exactly how his foolishness will play out. Glad we've learned a few things in the past 900 years.

Went to an anti AI datacentre protest march today and a friend of mine got a picture that summed it all up

The Paul Schrader AI girlfriend discourse compelled me to finally watch Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters. Gorgeous movie. Maybe the most unique take on a biopic I've ever seen. Also what a fucking weirdo Jesus Christ.

Imagine missing your own son’s wedding so you could go surrender to Iran

Just my favorite news show with zero context. And yes this is how it normally is, a lot of people don't know internet today is constantly edited to hide the fact that @eliotetc.bsky.social is actually 8 feet tall.

You come to me, on the day of my son's wedding, which I am not attending

let this be a message to Americans who join the military. the GOP will campaign on your death and use their power to delete your existence from the history books once it becomes inconvenient.

Having to always clarify that I want my coffee hot is my personal "press 1 for English"

this is a masterpiece

Conservatives every shooting for like 5 years now: "it's the dastardly antifer transgenders!!" Every mass shooters manifesto for the past 2 decades: "I love Hitler and I'm going to kill women and minorities because I'm literally just a Nazi."

I guess it's called "corruption." I've never heard that before. I said wow what a beautiful word. It comes from the Latin [spicy voice] corrumpere. But it's something we're doing and we'll be doing it perhaps more than ever before

Finally watched Civil War and very annoyed at how much A24's dogshit marketing campaign turned me off from what's actually a great movie

actually they have the power to stop it literally any time they want

trump: if people can just vote for who they want then we won't even have a country anymore. who will even give me one billion dollars for ballroom then. we gotta make not liking republicans punishable by death nyt: buoyed by recent legal triumphs, a defiant trump seeks to redefine democratic norms

the net negative for US politics was Elon buying twitter and turning it into an explicit right wing propaganda site at that point there was simply nowhere for the online left to maintain any influence with pols and institutions, at least in the (shrinking) text-based social media sense

7 months to go

this is what the Democratic Party wants us to vote for every time

This is how every other country imagines life in America

I will vote for the self-hating billionaire

Ted Turner was briefly so destructive to film preservation that the GOVERNMENT created the National Film Registry to keep some films safe, then Turner was like “fine! You like preservation so much, here’s a channel that just shows movies unaltered for 24 hours!!!” and it was the best channel ever.

I’m sure he was evil in many ways but I deeply long for the days when billionaires were into baseball and pro wrestling and not publicly doing weird shit with their sperm
