@kumail.bsky.social How many Big Bird lore keepers have you been assailed by in the last 48 hours? (Night Thoughts ruled.)

My submission for a #1 Dad mug: (Softly singing) Cut sandwich into pieces, this is your grilléd cheese

Can we all just appreciate how much pressure Nate Silver is under to grift harder, with Kalshi coming to cable news networks? This is like an 8yo searching the house for odd jobs to do because their school bus was about to put $1-a-play Roblox in all the seatbacks.

I won't call the cops on you for robbing me at knifepoint, as long as I get to watch you enjoy what you buy with my money. This is a post about SoraDisney.

I love John Cena's strategy of being stunt-cast in enough prestige shows that eventually, a showrunner will see making him the lead as the ultimate stunt-casting.

@otsumamiboy.bsky.social How are we supposed to read this and just... have a week? kotaku.com/tekken-direc...

Apple: Who should portray the wasted shell of a man who made computer use compelling for an audience beyond a bunch of weirdo hobbyists in Northern California? Also Apple: Who's dating Dua Lipa right now?

Stephen Miller talks like every nerve in his body is forcefully trying to reject what his mind is telling it to say but he powers through anyway & yet the most remarkable thing about him is how his eyes are more soulless than Pinhead's while his appearance entirely What If Buster Bluth Had A Wario

The eight Dem senators: the Mount Rushmore of pant-shitters. www.reddit.com/r/Fauxmoi/co...

Alright, which one of you idiots let Wong Kar Wai play Yakuza?

DONALD TRUMP: [asleep, drooling on long red tie] SENATE DEMOCRATS: fine, we give in

It's really hard to study for comps when @themountaingoats.bsky.social drop an album this dense and fascinating. I'll have to live off the rich musical pleasures of it for a while until I can give the lyrics and orchestration the attention they deserve. Thanks, John &co., this is a real gift!

What an amazing tech solution to a real problem! An AI that helps us "get around" book bans by asking, "Have you tried complying with it and reading these similar but regime-approved works?" Look how fast it moves! Look how much it breaks!

The central lie — the key dishonesty — of modern conservatism is that being judgmental about the ethnicity or language or culture of the person next door is fine and acceptable, but being judgmental of that attitude is elitist and arrogant and closed-minded. What vapid bullshit.

@dimension20.bsky.social had me nostalgic for my rowdy past, so I stopped into this place, and you wouldn't believe how reasonable the instructor was!

Every time someone makes me read something Peter Thiel said it’s like “Scrooge McDuck is Jesus Christ and Huey, Dewey, and Louie are Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel and Daisy is Mary Magdalene and that’s why women voting has lowered American sperm count.”

Has anyone tried hosting a discussion of ethical philosophy with the Questing Queens (Bob the Drag Queen, Monet X Change, Alaska Thunderfuck, and Jujubee) called Serving Kant?

Trump: everyone in the US died from drugs last week Reporter: [nods] Trump: so we must murder on the high seas Reporter: [nods] Trump: I caught Trix rabbit once Reporter: [nods] Trump: the cock on that bunny Reporter: [nods] Trump: bigger than you think Headline: Trump Policy Seeks To Save Lives

RFKJr: Video games caused this mass shooting! Evergreen shooter: Nah, I just hate Jews. MSM: Political hatred caused the murder of Charlie Kirk! Charlie Kirk's murderer: Nah, I just love Helldivers and Hearts of Iron IV. Anyone who believes what those two sources tell them to:

@jacquisneal.bsky.social is such a good host on @crowdcontroldo.bsky.social, I don't even think there can be a weak episode. @dropout.tv never misses.

the nation's rich assholes were all so violently butthurt by Lina Khan doing the bare minimum on antitrust, and Covid shifting the balance of power toward labor by a fraction of one percent, that they just threw completely in with an idiot con man fascist never let them retcon any of this

I wish Christopher would run for office so we could see signs that say "Walken is Runnin."

Imagine the conflicted emotions you'll feel if this leads to our salvation and you hear someone play California Uber Alles in celebration.

If, like me, you've been losing your connection to humanity lately, then maybe, also like me, Jens Lekman is the guy to reel you back in. This dropped like an hour ago. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQBU...

Today is Spoonerism Day so here’s a list of the top ten best celebrity names when spoonerized… 10. Lude Jaw 9. Bathy Kates 8. Parah Salin 7. Hatt Mancock 6. Sandy Ravage 5. Him Tenman 4. Bean Sean 3. Shartin Meen 2. Rid Kock 1. Cradley Booper

Precisely what part of the algorithm slashing Virginia's regulatory policies is accountable to the voters? Who gets to be responsible when MechaHitler's cousin mistakenly allows industry to drop corrosive runoff directly onto Misty of the fucking Chincoteague?? wtop.com/virginia/202...

i think the big middle event between george floyd protests and covid that accelerated this hard right turn in elite circles was tech employees using slack to stage walk-outs and force concessions from management. tech bosses got a first whiff of organized labor's power and started reading mein kampf

@allodarlin.bsky.social, I'm going through the album again, and it's stunning. As someone who became a parent in the time between your last album and this, Slow Motion has both destroyed and reconstructed me. Thank you for this gift!

Ashamed that I'd never heard @glenndonaldson.bsky.social before they autoplayed after the new @allodarlin.bsky.social, but so glad it's finally happened. @slumberlandrecords.com is one of the rare good things left in the world.

Quit exoticizing me, Ariel, you fuckin landaboo.

Yeah, sure, the LotR thing is shitty, but he's also ripping off @dimension20.bsky.social, and I think KVX has a suit. Someone alert the Business Dragon!

But without Jimmy Swaggart, how will I know what the NEW new pornography is??

Real angry vibeshift on my tl today. I've been having a ton of fun on Bsky, so what's up? Are we that angry at each other, or are the same malign forces that drove us here now sowing the same divisiveness here, too? My money's on the latter.

Commercial in front of The Bear: "Welcome to a margarita state of mind." You mean inebriated? Was your marketing dept. in a margarita state of mind??

Sad that there isn't a Star Wars villain named Hoa Nimby. Yet.

How we got here. 1. McCain sings it on the campaign trail. 2. Mike Love goes MAGA. 3. Brian Wilson dies. 4. It fucking happens.

Tired: Pentagon/Crystal City Domino's tracker. Wired: Hegseth's liquor store bill.

The world can't end now, a good new international market just opened down the road and there's like 15 kinds of produce there I've never tried.

Amazing reporting by @samleecole.bsky.social about how A.I. is a tunnel for our collective id to surface and create minor reality-bending events like SCP copypasta IRL.

Gandalf has defended Middle Earth from Sauron for centuries, but some in his Fellowship say his stance on making noise in abandoned mines has created a toxic work environment.

@vornietom.bsky.social Even from one episode, I know Van is going to be one of my favorite D20 characters ever. Such a great performance! If you get this and have time to respond: Was your appearance as a bartender with a prosthetic arm at all inspired by Ratz from Neuromancer?

@dimension20.bsky.social Shame on you for setting such unrealistic male beauty standards in Wealwell. None of us will ever measure up.

@ifycomedy.com is probably the first person to make me laugh so hard with a bell hooks quote that I couldn't even hear the second half of it. One of my favorite @smartypantsshow.bsky.social presentations so far.

I don't spread misinformation. I miss spread information. We are not the same.

To Whoever Vandalized My “No Fat Chicks” Bumper Sticker: Leave Me Out Of Your Politics

Trump hurt my business, gave measles to my kids, canceled the cancer treatment that probably would’ve saved my life, and nearly crashed the last plane that I took. But I’m still glad I voted for him because he’s going to make those kids at Oberlin eat that damn banh mi.

Been sitting on this a while - dug with @jasonaw.bsky.social back through the support network for some of Oakland’s worst reactionaries & came across this network state hub in Wyoming that’s deeply interlaced with the intellectual wing of the “Dissident Right” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

@simogo.com Need help with your product: at the end of Lorelei and the Laser Eyes, after revealing the final truth, how do I get my jaw off the floor?

Look at the Andy Weir one. A.I. is now capable of Mary Sue-ing itself. Do we understand yet the danger of using all of AO3 as training data???

I owe you, @mrsambarlow.bsky.social, for recommending Lorelei and the Laser Eyes. Finally got to start it today, and you were right, it's a gem!
