This may have been the most insane and incoherent four days of his presidency. Tylenol, the U.N., I hate my opponents, other countries are going to hell, this escalator's broken, I'm mad at a TV comedian, I like Ukraine now. It really feels as if some minimal tether to reality has snapped.

the US if Tylenol actually caused autism

Trump donor Larry Ellison’s Oracle will oversee TikTok’s algorithm. His media company owns CBS News and is plotting a bid for Warner Bros., which owns CNN. When billionaires take control of communication platforms, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy.

The manifesto from Andor is still so relevant.

There’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for people to build on the rubble of what’s being destroyed before our eyes. Private corporations bending over to forcefeed everyone government-approved speech is evil and amoral, but more than anything this creates boring, inauthentic, unwatchable shit.

"I didn't ask you a question."

JD Vance eats cornbread with a fork and knife.

see the problem we have here is, Peter Thiel selected as his political avatar a guy with the charisma of a Peter Thiel

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

Ben Shapiro canceling his speaking engagements and Nick Fuentes suddenly discovering nonviolence are the biggest tells you could imagine that these people are waking up to the realization that they aren't gonna be able to get the tiger back in the cage, and it doesn't care who it eats

wake up babe new blue & black dress just dropped

Glinda the Good Witch didn’t admonish the good folks of Munchkinland when they sang a song celebrating the death of a notorious menace.

Bluesky may be the one place on the internet where you can be like “my hobbies are politics and mental illness and cool bugs” and everyone is like omg follow

Over the decades, I’ve been humbled and grateful for the love you’ve shown, not only to me, but to the ideals of Star Trek itself: diversity, unity, and the belief that together, humanity can boldly go where none have gone before.

This is asymmetrical period of coming up in IT career from Operations. The people who have only done IT Security have a gap in their understanding of the mistakes and senior trust in prevention. I've wiped a building. My lead has taken down AD for a firm for days. We know the stakes. Real hard.

I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my career, I learned a long time ago the best thing to do is admit your mistake immediately…don’t try to BS about…it saves hours of time when people are trying to figure out what happened.

Literally the second meme I've made in my life.

I just read someone refer to Cheryl Hines (RFKs wife) as The Marvelous Mrs. Measles and this is the kind of energy we need right now.

Sticks and stones may break your bones, but the blanket assertion that "words will never hurt you" rather overlooks the fact that the guy saying, "Break their bones with sticks and stones," was probably a major contributing factor to the current state of your bones...

i met anubis in the realm of the underworld, big strong guy by the way, had a dog’s head, i’m not so sure about that. and he said to me, mr president, you’ve got the heaviest soul we’ve ever weighed down here. can you believe it? they’ve never seen a soul that heavy in all of duat

I enjoyed Mr. Greene’s work in everything in which I saw him. He could bring gravitas to anything or have me howling with laughter.

Florida man and supreme enemy of democracy dies far less painfully than he deserved. In lieu of flowers, please use his grave as a public toilet.

1/ More info on the Crown Royal plant closing in Canada.... The union vows to fight, but they can't do fuck all. Apparently, Diageo is abandoning Canada to send jobs to a non-unionized mega plant in anti-labour trump loving Alabama. (from radio no link sorry) www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The true horror hear is that you know the real estate agent tried to talk them out of those photos and failed.

both these things are equally true and it fuckin sucks. the missing, third point here is bigger studios wanting to associate games with their brand and not PEOPLE, but that also sucks, everything about this sucks!

People are often surprised to learn that Lee was an officer who never made it past colonel. The purported promotion to general was awarded by a treasonous cabal calling itself the "confederate states of america" which was put down by force by the Union army, which also had superior generals.

yo this guy is cooking

"Why does Pritzker, the largest governor, not simply eat the other governors?"

Everybody hates the Nazis, but the genuinely important moral conflict is between people who want a better world and people who think we can get by if we only oppose the Nazis a little bit

So the sandwich guy ... beat the wrap

A whole meditation about this nation in the fact that this was so easy to miss in the mainstream reporting and that folks who’ve been fighting fascism for 500 years haven’t given up

At least make a quick stab at answering the question before you get to the cop-licking

Interviewer: Why shouldn’t President Trump send the military to occupy your city? Big Important Democrat: I support and love the Police I really want to kiss the Police

Just got home from the Eric Adams scavenger hunt. We had to find 300 children’s teeth hidden in the alley behind Zero Bond, and use them to build “an electric chair for rats.” The winners got to keep the teeth. I hate this city.

She painted a hole on the ground and this guy walked right over it and fell in Looney Toons style.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

I don’t want to “age like fine wine.” I want to age like an urban legend: blurry photos, strange sightings, and locals whispering “don’t go near that house after dark.”

things were better when the computer lived in its own specific room and you only went in there sometimes

Imagine having a store people felt so comfortable going into that they gave it a cute nickname, and then throwing that away for the sake of a political group that doesn't even shop there, fucking up so badly that a lot of the former shoppers realized they didn't need to buy so much stuff anyway.

I'm just saying that radioactive shrimp is a possible superhero origin story.

After a long drive home from work I sometimes reward my car by putting it in gear and letting it go wherever it wants. Which is usually straight ahead at about seven miles an hour. I don't know what it has against that retaining wall but I can tell there's a deep animus because it keeps ramming it.

If I was making cringe memes for a loser predator you simply could not waterboard that information out of me. I would take it to my grave.
