Soooooo sorry for not having enough thoughts and prayers right now. They got knocked outta me after years of having 4-6-year-olds practice lockdown drills while I gave them lollipops to keep them quiet & read stories to keep them calm while knowing I would die if a gunman ever actually came in.

This is a glorious thread

93 Candles 🎂 today for one of my favourite entertainers & people — CAROL BURNETT. Amongst others she’s received 7 Golden Globes, a Grammy, 7 Emmy’s, 12 People's Choice Awards, 2 Peabody’s & a Tony.

So we’re at “vertigo and nausea” levels of pollen 🙃 Propped up on the couch rewatching SG-1 and dozing today because I can’t do much else.

It's a shame that "defend your culture" always means "hate strangers different from you" and never "enact anti-pollution laws so that you can go fishing with your grandkids the way your grandpa taught you."

For all the fascism self-help books that came out over the last seven years, all full of treacly bullshit like "believe in truth," the most important piece of advice, "refuse to be terrorized," is nowhere to be seen.

This is not a feel-good story. Veterans of the Vietnam war are, like, 70 at the youngest. They should not have to be working.

Kind of a perfect metaphor for the media and the role they've played over the last ten years

This is a periodic reminder that one of Scotland's most prominent TERF campaigners turned out to be a predator who in at least one case molested a child specifically because she presumed the child was trans. The only newspaper in the country to even report on it was the Scottish Sun.

Tonight was an Emperor's New Clothes moment for the D.C. political journalism industry. Access journalism bought you jackshit. Absolutely embarrassing, pathetic, and ominous.

Idk man, I think the journalists who have been traumatized the most were not sitting in that room tonight. The feds gassed the shit out of us, knocked us over, sent in the local PD to harass, detain, and hurt us, shot a teenaged photographer in the face and he lost an eye, and that's just in LA

CNN: the entire US constitutional chain of command was in that ballroom

megan i would never do that to you

Not many people know it… but there is a third option in the Maine Primary for the Senate seat. She’s a write-in, and if I lived in Maine, I’d write her in.

"Wars and famines are not accidents. They are investment strategies."

I’m on this week’s episode of Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me! on NPR with Shantira Jackson and (first-time panelist) Katie Nolan!!! Tom Papa was a wonderful guest host! It was (I think) my last time recording with the legend Bill Kurtis before he retires!!!!

Listen to this weekend’s episode of Wait Wait here if not on the radio: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w...

For people saying "the firing squad is good actually" read about it here. There was no mass outcry. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

PLEASE REPOST SO PEOPLE WILL SEE AND I CAN STAY HOUSED

They're doing the detransition thing but with autism now.

Me, watching Monarch: Legacy of Monsters “Needs more Godzilla and less love triangles and trauma processing.”

Someone lost their candy at the bus stop at 5th & Hennepin.

I'll say it again, one of the worst things this rampant push to cram "generative AI" into everything has done is make people suspect bright kids of cheating when they're just nerdy or bookish or neurodivergent, sanding down their unique edges to fit into people's lowered, homogenized expectations.

I found some yooperlite dice and I *do not need* yooperlite dice

Good morning to everyone who is going to roll some dice this weekend, and to them only.

yes! and otherwise well-meaning people are parroting “ai is here to stay” and not seeing how unnecessarily threatening that pattern of speaking is

I'm not the first to note this but AI psychosis just seems to be "experience what it's like to have yes men" and shows what has happened to any billionaire who has any kind of public profile

Everything being what it is, hearing @joshgondelman.bsky.social riff with Father James Martin on Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me! brings me joy.

Whoever called the faction of the press who still want to attend the White House Correspondents Dinner the ‘Access of Evil’ I salute you

courts are struggling over whether letting Google Maps save your frequent destinations so you can easily pull up directions also authorizes Google to give cops minute by minute updates on your location when asked never occurred to me that would be a hard question ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/chatr...

We are doing such a cool thing right now I am wigging out it is about artists' RIGHTS. Can I tell you. If you are an artist and you make a thing, you own it. You own ALL the rights. We should all think harder about what happens after that. Please stay tuned and subscribe to @flaminghydra.com.

Me currently after this work week. #TheLastDriveIn #MutantFam @TheMutantFam @therealjoebob @kinky_horror

More Mutant Trivia. Rawhead Rex was designed by Peter Mackenzie Litten. He helped bring to life another character who starred in fiction, had his own talk show, and VJ’d…for 100,000 Points, name that character. Think Network 23! Garak/ @mutantmoviemayhem.bsky.social

I'm crying, this is so funny, he has absolutely no idea.

Happy anniversary of this not happening

When I saw this cover, I yelled “HOLY SHIT!” and while I have been sitting on this news because of NDA for a VERY long time, I am very proud to finally make it my lock screen.

Roxanne, one of Philly's first restaurants to be honored by the Michelin Guide, was shut down after operating without a food license for more than a year.

I've been asking why humans are cruel since I was 7...

Paging Dr @ryanmarino.bsky.social to the cop dog unit this is a code bullshit I repeat we have a code bullshit on the cop dog unit

Someone’s bio was “Here to meet normal people - normal people only.” And I just want to be clear, I will take all the abnormals you don’t want. Send them my way please. Send me your tired, your hungry, your weird and perverted, your dorks, your geeks, your freaks and nerds.

Straight girls are spending $400/month on serums and getting their pubes ripped out with wax to impress dudes that wash their hair once a month with dish soap

I think Irish atheists deserve better representation that a man who seemingly has a moral inability to publicly distance himself from a man who, outside of being an horrific transphobe who advocates for violence against trans people, revels in ableist abuse (he also uses "autistic" as a slur, btw.)
