i am making a series of visual hallucinations based on my trip through the west on the california zephyr, in bryce3d this is the nevada sage steppe

The US is always framed like some jilted lover who doesn't know how to leave a bad relationship and not the psycho handing over all the bombs

just in Trump 2 for starters

Nearly half of the weather balloons in the lower 48 are missing because of DOGE

I do love the trend in modern Superman media that Jimmy Olsen is inexplicably attractive to every woman who meets him

no but some dude got arrested for jorkin it publicly while watching circus performers (it was also his birthday & he was dressed as uncle sam)

Supergirl is fun! It's a contrast to Superman 2025, even a critique at times, but it also stands on its own. Milly is well cast. I didn't get the same warm fuzzies Superman 2025 gave me, but it isn't built to do that. Can't believe I'm saying this but I'm excited to see where thr DCEU goes next.

Supreme Court my ass

Happy the end of Pride! 3/3

Happy Pride 2026 1/2

"Heated debates erupted in the Israeli Knesset today The main objection? That Red Cross visits would expose what is happening inside the prisons and become a public relations disaster for Israel"

people who know how to do things:

"Elon Musk is being a disgusting Nazi bitch, so instead of punishing him, we're going to punish YOU instead and take away YOUR freedom. Because we would never play hardball with a billionaire."

I need y'all to understand that I teach high school and there are teenagers already planning to leave the U.S. to because they will be studying science or medicine. They are SO serious about it - saving money, learning extra languages, and looking to see if there are familial connections abroad.

This is not JUST RFK Jr.s fault. He's the final nail in the coffin. It's also useful to note several countries have lost their measles free status (UK, Canada) without RFK jr. Mexico is on a similar precipice as the US. Focusing just on RFK blinds us to the anti-vaxx landscape.

Having social media access made growing up gay 1 million times easier (I don’t think I would even know I was gay as a teen if it weren’t for social media), but it also made growing up progressive and informed possible. Social media was where I learned about abortion rights, for starters

Don’t be disheartened America, it’s actually fine having a system that gives effectively unlimited executive power to the head of government. You just have to make sure you only ever elect good chaps to head your government! You did remember to only ever elect good chaps, right

Soccer players 🤣🤣🤣

SCOTUS rebuilt from scratch along with the Electoral College and Senate being abolished is a bare minimum moderate position.

there are more Fox & Friends anchors at Trump's fair than actual fairgoers

thinking this morning how capitalism infects every discourse with its insistence on 'efficiency' manifesting in narrative arts as the demand for a straight undecorated line between A and B and capitalism rewards people who think like this with power & influence over the rest of us

Basically, the Legislature can pass laws, but the Executive has total power to decide what they mean, or if they mean anything at all.

Bluesky mods got us like

Christopher Nolan, let Matt Damon and Tom Holland weep together!!! They have a DEEP DESIRE FOR LAMENTATION!!

Trump’s stolen-election conspiracy theories in 2020 weren’t enough to overturn the results, but he did accomplish the next-best thing: normalizing within the GOP the notion that mail voting is inherently fraudulent. There is a straight line between his rhetoric then and Alito’s opinion today.

I was pleasantly surprised the other day when a contractor friend in a red county said that heat pumps are now simply the industry standard. Apparently they’ve outsold gas furnaces in the US for the past four years and are poised to overtake conventional AC. That’s really good news.

"UNESCO sees adjunctification as a systemic, global problem that undermines job security, academic freedom and career attractiveness." And yet UK uni leadership see it as 'an agile workforce dedicated to cutting edge teaching and research'. Funny.

cant believe the Mighty Nein ended on such a fucking cliffhanger wtf

Zelda TOTK is my Game of the Year 2023, because it has this Spooky Statue Guy in it.

Horror flicks can be frustrating because the protagonists often don't realize what kind of movie they're in before it's too late. Except for Widow's Bay. Those people know they're in a horror movie and they act accordingly.

I saw a landlord saying that freezing the rent is GOOD because it will keep tenants in their apartments for longer and that this actually SAVES him money. When tenants move out frequently because they can't afford rent, it costs him to repaint, fix the apartments up again. Time means lost income.

I did some fact checking, and a tiny thing: the festival of festivals is still happening... just not in DC

THEE bombshell has entered the villaaaa ❤️‍🔥 #LoveIslandUSA

Donna and The Doigs

Finally, a game for bards

Starting my meal prep for the week

I've come around to deciding that it's actually good that they keep asking Zohran this question because it clarifies to the listener that a Jewish state and a state of all its citizens are not compatible and the people asking the question are implicitly acknowledging that they know that.

The Trump DOJ's unprecedented intervention in NAACP's case against MS for allowing xAI's Southaven data center to proceed with 57 gas turbines - despite having no air permits - challenges the basic concept of the citizen suit, enshrined in federal environmental statutes for over a half century.

Was reminded by @papapishu.bsky.social of this clip the other day. Miyazaki’s nearly religious-ecstatic reaction to hearing Miwa’s laugh as Moro. He will be missed.
