sometimes i feel like the republican party is a big tornado that is coming to kill me. and the democratic party is the rickety shed that i'm hiding in. and i say "we should really fix this shed, because it's not doing much." and people say "what? why aren't you criticizing the tornado instead?!"

I think getting fired up and angry that your elected representatives are failing their constituents is good actually. One might argue that indifference or apathy from the electorate has greatly contributed to the situation we are in.

Really don’t care among these performance artists tbh. They all own this surrender.

look at him now! he's like if a gay witch turned a piece of greige office furniture into a CNN pundit.

My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings. Look on my works and select all that include images of motorcycles.

我慢できてえらい。がんぼるぞい。 translation: I'm proud that I can endure it.

Sounds a lot like what @katmabu.bsky.social is doing, making mutual aid a key component of her campaign www.goodgoodgood.co/articles/kat...

I think it's good to keep getting mad about evil and unjust things, if only to remind yourself and everyone else that these things are in fact evil and unjust. I don't think it's naive. Nor is it wise and sophisticated to adopt a "You fool, nothing matters and nothing good can ever happen" posture

clever-cloggery is my new favorite britishism. i think it's more aurally descriptive than its american cousin, "know-it-allism."

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.

why would I go to ChatGPT for sexting when your dad does it better

So @kellymantle.bsky.social said “since the government is shut down can we just start a new one?” and that is the best take i’ve seen

The thirties are for wimps. Hit us up when you’re forty.

Really sorry to hear about the sudden passing of Kaleb Horton, a fantastic writer. Only seems fitting to share what he wrote for David Lynch kalebhorton.ghost.io/death-is-jus...

I dislike the whole “and you’re SURPRISED?!” bullshit whenever anyone expresses alarm at a news event because the people posting it act like they’re wise sages for democracy but are basically doing the work of evil people because there’s nothing evil people want more than for evil to become routine

we gotta arm the trees and wildlife, they are our only hope

It's darkly funny that he wants to indict the guy who arguably won him the election in 2016

🦊 I’ve decided it’s past time I start describing “artificial intelligence” as a failed technology, and I’d like you to join me. ethanmarcotte.com/wrote/agains...

my guess is that wealthy and influential people, who can afford to pay for media narratives, now feel vulnerable too. the administration is not just a problem for immigrants and the poor anymore.

Wishing everyone a great Fall.

Metroidvanias are either Protestant or Catholic. Castlevania? Catholic, of course. Metroid? Protestant. Blasphemous is Catholic. Dead Cells, Protestant. Hollow Knight is Protestant, but Hollow Knight: Silksong is Catholic. That's why people are complaining the game is hard. Cause it's Catholic now.

Intense, dancing aurora last night from my driveway in North Pole, Alaska. The best display I have seen this season by far. Check out this real-time motion!

“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind

There's no substitute for actually taking action.

Who says Bluesky doesn't have the juice?

Y'alls hero @govpritzker.illinois.gov just wants different jackboots on the ground. No wonder, he's a former AIPAC board member.

Nate Yglesias Barro: BlueSky is a case study of how platforms meant to decentralize discourse invariably collapse into ideological monocultures. It’s not dialogue when every post echoes the same progressive orthodoxy—it’s digital conformity in disguise. BlueSky Users: hate you too bench!

my sister googled "fun things to do in Boston this weekend" and it told her to go sit on Storrow Drive and watch a bunch of college kids peel their rented Penske moving trucks open like tin cans

america is capitalism's final eeveelution

God it's about time someone talked about prosecuting these guys

i'm not a doomer and i'm not a temu obama. i'm a secret third thing.

Too bad that our legal and institutional safeguards only work to prevent good policies. It would be cool if they also stopped the evil stuff

No cheating. Post the last photo of your pet (fur baby).

Good morning yall~

Fuckin’ sick

Known coward, director Paul Thomas Anderson bloviates that we should end arachnodiversity and then turns off replies and quotes?? @pftompkins.bsky.social

You can't be pro-gay and anti-trans. We are symbiotic; intertwined.

A reality series for NBC with aging D List celebrities all part of the same ICE unit on patrol featuring Dean Cain, Scott Baio, Kelsey Grammer, Zachary Levi, Gina Carano…

knowing "how the computer works" is quickly going from "advantageous skillset in office job" to "godlike degree of metacognition when navigating reality"
