Hey ECCC! Is all the walking and all the hills wrecking your shit? Pop into a weed store and see if they have this stuff. Absolute magic.

the ol' enders game strategy really playing his orson scott cards right out in the open

No, they aren't, and no, it isn't.

A friend made me a thing! And it’s very cute! It’s for holding badges/pins when I’m not using them. I love the design and really appreciate the work that went into this. Thank you!

I feel a weird sense of pride that my ICQ number is lower than his. (6242320)

If you're at ECCC, @korybing.bsky.social is selling these Cryptid ornaments. One of them is the Squonk, and I just needed people to know that. korybing.storenvy.com/products/369...

There's a guy at ECCC cosplaying Porco Rosso, and he handed me this when I complimented the timeliness of his fit. 💋🤌

Many such Bovinos. It's still good seeing her eat shit, though.

A two post thread of amazement.

Donovan from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade announces “Looks like RFK Jr has declared war on Dunkin Donuts.

Chotiner: You've made the claim that no one has ever fed you in your life. My Cat: Maow. Chotiner: Yet there's food in your dish right now. My Cat: Maow. Chotiner: Let's change the subject to the ripped-open bag of sandwich bread on the floor. My Cat: Maow. Chotiner: I have read different things.

Y'all at this point if I found out that Paxton and I liked the same *cereal* I would change what I have for breakfast. If you end up agreeing with him on a policy issue he's all fired up about, that should make you look deep into your soul. But tbh I'm not sure Singal has one anymore.

The Six Degrees of Jill Friedman is undefeated.

Zayde Morris: Emigrated from Russia, spoke multiple languages, played multiple instruments, and ironed shirts; got paid per shirt. Grandpa Mike: Parents emigrated from Latvia, then Sweden. He was born in NJ, became a plane mechanic and a pilot in the early days of commercial aviation.

These are not serious people

this should be the end of the Gavin Newsom 2028 discussion. the party has spoken, full stop

Well anyway she died from complications from childbirth. 🤬

Grace from Ready or Not

Me to Paul Newman’s family at the funeral: may his memory be a dressing

My kingdom for a post apoc story that doesn't get its female characters pregnant in the most preventable and least sensible ways possible. What's that? You live completely alone and had a one night thing with someone who passed through? Definitely don't consider pregnancy when you're doing it!

The thwarted plot by Haman never happened. The story of Esther is a fable. We have pretty good records of Achaemenid kings and none seem to have had a main Jewish queen or any really. Infuriating. Just infuriating to see them justify war like this

The scandal should be that an ally was able to persuade the president of the United States to start a war like he was selling him a used car.

How I arrived on BlueSky

I didn't know I needed Rizzo the Rat singing The Weeknd, but I did. I absolutely did.

toronto sceptres losing the pwhl broadcast poll to "i hope both teams have fun" is humiliating in a way i've never seen happen to a sports franchise before

I really just woke up from a dream where I was on RPDR UK vs The World. It was Snatch Game, and I was doing James Somerton. (This is an idea I've had for a long time) It fell apart a little bc it required all your answers be pre-recorded, so I couldn't copy other people's answers like I'd planned.

Per the Texas Democratic Party, nearly a third of Williamson and Dallas County voters are being turned away when they try to vote due to confusion over polling locations, caused by Republicans opting not to hold countywide unified Joint Primaries.

This is NYC: Iftar + Purim = @mayor.nyc.gov @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social breaking the fast on hamantaschen 🎭🥰 Ah Freilichen Purim to us all!

What's that?? @tastinghistory.bsky.social doing an episode on one of my favorite hyperfixations??? YUSS. www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2uE...

It’s an ICE staging center that told its queer and Black customers to go fuck themselves.

What's even more insane is that, bc of the economy, you can probably buy one of these for the equivalent of $1. Maybe less. This is art. I wish these artists could get $1000/loaf.

Trump doesn't have a plan for this other than swinging his dick around. Hegseth's plan is to kill as many Muslims as he can because he's a neocrusading monster. Huckabee's plan is to end the world for Jesus. There are plans, they're just not military plans, war plans, strategic or tactical plans.

I was 19, a sophomore in college. My roommate spend every night at her boyfriend's place, and I woke up when she came back in the morning. That day, another suitemate followed close behind her to tell me what happened. I called home immediately.

Is this about a different Benjamin Netanyahu? I only know about the one, and this can't be about him.

"Honey, let's spend our 20th anniversary in a slave state!" Did they get married at a plantation, too?

i think its also pretty important to remember that the US Very Extremely Does Not Want A Strong Democratic Iran. they want a weak and geopolitically irrelevant wasteland. Iran used to be a strong democracy and they fucking slaughtered it which eventually created the theocracy to begin with

A lot of discourse these days sums up as "I would simply not become indoctrinated by the culture that surrounds me," and chat, that's not how that works.

Okay, so @sagaftra.org wanted to make it look like #SherylLeeRalph was endorsing "ai", why?

Truly no one is hurting more right now than all the hawks who are watching someone blow their dream invasion

I had questions on trans participation in sports so I just asked trans people and read up on it. The answers are out there and knowable. It’s fine not to know things and such but to pretend these answers aren’t readily available is a bigoted lie, and she knows it.

Some of yall are getting a little too comfortable with your antisemitism that yall are trying to cloak around being anti-impearlist.

Is Graham Platner a Nazi? to be fair I don't know whats in his mind, but I thought a little history of Platner's connections to actual Nazism, leaving aside any questionable posts unrelated to that, would be helpful. Lets begin shall we?

I do not like this gen AI I do not like what it implies I do not want it in my art I do not think it makes you smart I do not want it in my games I do not like its goals and aims I do not want it in my books I do not like the way it looks I do not like it, I don't care I do not want it anywhere

This is the most fucked interpolation of "Common People" by Pulp ever imagined.

The horror of Israel’s atrocities in Gaza has enabled me to convince many of my Boomer Jewish relatives to be more critical of Israel, and not to reflexively assume pro-Palestine activism is antisemitic. If Platner becomes the leading anti-Israel voice in the Senate, that work disappears overnight.
