I simply cannot get over the absolute atrocity that is the (estranged) husband's statement. Just.. what the _fuck_. What the absolute fuck is wrong with you, as a person, to say something like that? Holy FUCK.

Radio (2003) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_(... Absolutely wrecks me every time. I love it.

Someone just suggested that Orwellian is overused and like... no? It's not even used half as much as it should be! Signs of Orwellian authoritarianism are quite common, actually!

What if we’re the shithole country?

Authors, I'm sorry, but I will absolutely pirate your old fantasy paperbacks that are no longer in print and cannot be found. I would love to just pay you for them, but the system is working against me. I am not going to stop, please send me an address to send you the 7$ or whatever.

I will sing ozempic's praises but I also will acknowledge it is all kinds of suck too. I am on like one of the lower doses and I still can't take it on a weekly cadence unless I want to be violently ill. Still! It's nice having these chemical signals! Hormones! Fuck yeah!

I have just run up against the main problem concerns re: calling your partner "honey"; to wit, I requested she pass me the honey, she looked at me in bafflement waiting for me to say something else. Nice.

Honestly, I'm a deeply antisocial person! I'm always convinced I'm doing the wrong thing, upsetting people and taking up space that shouldn't be taken up by the likes of me. Of course, that's also why I wouldn't want to take a waymo either.

I love fine dining and have eaten at a number of Michelin star restaurants. I've had some truly extraordinary meals! I absolutely consider myself a foodie. Sometimes I eat kraft mac and cheese and hotdogs and I *like* it. I kinda hate when people can't get out of their own way and just enjoy stuff.

What if we held oil companies directly accountable for any illegal wars held on their behalf after the fact? Like we clearly can't keep republicans from going to war on their behalf, so what if we just... fine them a couple hundred billion dollars afterwards and pay reparations for invading?

I have no strong opinions about star wars and I have not since I was let down so much in phantom menace. I'm glad for everyone who is happy and I'm sad for those who are not, or whatever.

Yesterday my brother, 10 years younger than I, ate shit when his new socks didn't play nicely with the hardwood floor. I'm darkly amused at how he's finally realizing the curse of the thirties body has come upon him in full. No longer can a tumble just be a tumble, it is now A Whole Ass Thing ™️

This lil' goober is convinced that @shipyarn.com 's scooter basket is his own personal mobile bed platform

Florence, presenting her first draft to The Machine:

“we need to be nicer to men” bro they didn’t let women have their own credit cards til 50 years ago

Three sides of bacon: curing. Three gallons of kraut: sauering. I need a nap.

@emilyrandallwa.bsky.social thank you for not participating in this abject stupidity.

"Ha ha, bitches, I've got a new scooter!" has become my new catch phrase. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

In honor of Link, who was banned for the crime of speaking truth to power, I am continuing Fund Me Friday in his stead. The last two Fridays have been delayed due to life stuff, but today I am back on the ball. Post your mutual aid in this thread and I will retweet as long as I am able.

It has been a very short hop from ‘this is not who we are’ to ‘ok this is exactly who we are’

always remember: Terry Pratchett said trans rights this book was written in 1996 by a 48 year old British man and no cis person in 2025 has a single goddamn excuse to behave differently

Hi, did you know it's illegal to say www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8jd...

I've been thinking for a while that we need to inglorious bastards some of these folk and they're doing it for us smh

in a moment when too much of the remaining opinion column space in the states seems to have been set aside for farcical, garbled thinking, so grateful for @elienyc.bsky.social, for his moral clarity, and for the way he wields the form.

I think that if people if people advocate for & encourage violence and preach hatred it should be expected & accepted that violence and hatred may touch them. I’m not interested in living in a society that protects those people. I want the one that protects the people who know not to do that.

It's being reported that New Zealand has banned puberty blockers for transgender youth. I removed New Zealand from my recommendations to families fleeing a while back after the far right saw a surge in power in the country. Sad day for NZ trans youth.

a) If you understand the risks, you won't install it. b) If you DON'T understand the risks, Microsoft has instructed you not to install it. Therefore, c) under NO circumstances should you install Windows 11's agentic AI.

The 25-year-old is running on policies like supporting Medicare For All, stopping the war in Gaza and abolishing ICE.

I see some of the people this post is about have started showing up to cry. Hello! I'm afraid you've hit quota, so now I'll just be hiding your posts to make you mad. The reason being that I dont respect you. Thanks, bye!

100%. Elizabeth Spiers is right. Aside: If you ask Black folk that have lived all over this country 🙋🏿‍♂️what the most racist city they've lived in is, the most common winner is Boston. Ironic, but Black folk can't convince white folk that Black folk understand which city is more racist.🤷🏿‍♂️

A party that couldn't endorse Mamdani. . . has room for Marjorie Taylor Greene The party can burn in hell

Socialism isn't going to work if y'all stay racist. It's not gonna work if y'all stay sexist. It's not gonna work if y'all stay transphobic. It's not gonna work if y'all stay ableist. Everyone needs to constantly work on that for these systems to work. And we SHOULD because we want EVERYONE to eat.

An ephebophile is just a pedophile with a thesaurus.

I got this treatment once! Except I'm entirely too autistic to realize, so when he asked me if I wanted to see his guns I enthusiastically said yes and asked him what his favorite one was? About 5 years later I was like "... ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ha"

I am so excited, my uncle sent me our family tree copy and it's on this huuuuuuuuge sheet of paper and super fleshed out. I need to figure out how I'm going to digitize this now. It's probably at least 5' long and 3' wide, if not more

I cannot emphasize enough how many people are dead today who wouldn't be if any of these fucking journalists had done actual fucking journalism instead of serving the ruling class Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

this pernicious, conspiratorial, and hateful worldview should be given no quarter

bring back maligning racism as the mark of a stupid person. prejudice is the mark of an idiot. if you believe that shit i bet you also don’t wipe your ass

and if you *are* a ghoul, faking decency is the price of admission into polite society. seethe about it on your own time

I don't know why but today turned into Tom Petty Friday and that's pretty good for me

REALLY good point. It's the old, "does the same thing but backwards and in high heels." Cis straight white men are still mostly* playing on the tutorial level of the Game of Life *exceptions apply, yadda yadda, if not you, let it fly.

Also they thwart my quest for zero inbox which is unforgivable.

I'm not sure there's anyone on the planet who deserved to celebrate the defeat of Andrew Cuomo more than Lindsey, who had unimaginable amounts of courage in coming forward and continuing to push until he suffered actual consequences for sexual harassment thrilled for her

we suck. we've always sucked. but we don't have to keep sucking. that's my view.

The description of the US as a "cruel and carceral nation" is spot on. If we are to ever move forward, we need to stop saying "this is not who we are." It's exactly who we are and have always been. The sooner we accept that, the sooner we can make actual meaningful change to this fucked up system.
