perfect thread, no notes:

can’t wait to hear stories about this kid getting the crap beaten out of him for being a rude twat

Everything we need to do to stop climate breakdown, we also need to do for national security. Energy saving, more renewables, more electricity storage and interconnectors, electrification of transport, heating, cooking and industrial processes, plant-based diets. We win on all fronts.

The great Eric Rohmer was born on this day in 1920. I wrote about his Six Moral Tales for @crooked-marquee.bsky.social :

agree with this entirely: Chuck Norris was an objectively bad person period-fucking-polka dot

yeah, I got your hero Chuck Norris right here: m.youtube.com/watch?v=_ae9...

I think i’m in denial about how unpleasant the next three years are going to be

I see you and raise you: DIrect election of CEOs by the customers and employees of every corporation.

this is a great piece, and the money quote for me was this: "Showing up is the whole theory of change." we outnumber them by a large margin; if we show up, they can't beat us so just SHOW UP!

MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS

okay, pack it up, because this is the post of the day

"Rest in power" is used for those who either fought against or struggled against systemic oppression. Chuck Norris was an old rich Republican bitch who was for the systemic oppression, don't use that shit.

this is the tune, btw: www.youtube.com/watch?v=fz_3...

one thing I'm convinced of beyond a shadow of a doubt: it's better to have something like "Petrushka" or something by Miles Davis endlessly stuck in your head than that fucking song by (insert least favorite cheezy pop artist here)

I just want to say right now that I'm not Banksy

I think it would be pretty goddamn funny if Thiel was offed by a crazed Catholic zealot

this whole thing here: depose the billionaires!

Bluejay! That's why the peanuts are out. #birds

I’m taking mum’s calls for today ☎️ I might talk the floof and bark it loud 💭

The impact of this great Poisoning of the Well cannot be overstated.

fuck everyone who voted for this and yes you fucking DID vote for this, you goddamn reprobate mudfucking moron

truth: get ready, everyone, because this has the potential to go very, very wrong

just incredible:

OHMYGOD! a democrat actually called a member of the regime a liar! ladies and gents, I give you Maxwell Frost, D-FLA: “We want her under oath because we do not trust her. Why don’t we trust her? Because she’s a liar.” this is what the moment demands: just call them liars, over and over again!

BTW I would bet a tidy sum that, within the next decade, Silicon Valley tries to make VR/AR/Spatial Computing/the Metaverse *A Thing* again. Said it in 2021, I’ll repeat it now: VR is the rich white kid of tech. Always judged on its potential, never on its results. www.wired.com/story/virtua...

can’t agree more

someone with @theautopian.bsky.social needs to tell Torchinsky I found his fucking car:

a great new word from the ever inventive Adam Serwer: gullicism, a mixture of gullibility and cynicism www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

yes! support the USPS!

This is *very* cool... www.space.com/astronomy/as...

same I think the first person to make this kind of statement a central part of their platform will be a shoo-in for the nomination

get ready: my typing speed is up to 70 wpm now, so I can scatter a LOT of shit on here in a short amount of time it's tempting at this point to brag about accuracy, but that would guarantee making an unrecognized typo

* worst person you know just made a good point gif *

every part of the Afroman situation yesterday gave me life I'm sorry for Afroman getting his shit rocked, but I think he came out ahead once all was said and done the capper was when the cop had to admit he didn't know if Afroman had fucked his wife or not: a masterpiece of bad lawyering

hard agree here

if you EVER had any doubt that these people are irredeemable assholes who should be turned into dog food, let this little news item lays that doubt to rest: cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thu...

"Adulting". Fuck off. Fuck the fuck off.

Seems to me a true, America-loving president would see that all that ballroom money needs to be donated to the war effort.

nobody should underestimate our ability to fuck ourselves in the ass

Unsurprising News Department

When we grumble that congressional Democrats need to do more to hold the Trump regime accountable, the things that @oversightdemocrats.bsky.social do are basically what we have in mind. Use your position to demand accountability and when they try to dodge that, start yelling and don't stop.

after The Fall, every single one of them should have this charge added to their indictment

I feel you on this, although it's not MY Guantanamo disk, but I just wanted to say that there are some incredible songs on that record that AREN'T American Pie

absolutely: this heroic bird must be immortalized

"I just want you to know that in addition to being a hopelessly stupid motherfucker, I also don't care if you're feeling pain, because reasons, okay?"

king shit right here
