I said "what the fuck" upon reading this in a tone of voice that made @peripateticmeg.bsky.social worry about what I was reading.

scone season left: apple and cheddar, right: plain

Don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya, b*tch ass...

lot to unpack here

A generation of comics heard stories about Lenny Bruce getting arrested and Richard Pryor getting death threats and figured that this meant ALL comedians were at the same risk, as opposed to the truth, which is that at the same time thousands of comedians were safe telling hacky mother-in-law jokes

Just watched the pilot of Knights of Guinevere. Even if I didn't know it was created by the creator of The Owl House who has some anger at Disney... I'd know it was created by the creator of The Owl House who has some anger at Disney. I'd love to see more.

I remember @daraobriain.bsky.social making a jokes about this on the third series of Mock the Week. (Actually it was a setup to swipe at Prince Edward.)

this hits harder with every fuckin year

Anyone who votes to end birthright citizenship as it is understood now, in defiance of clear law and the tradition they claim to value? They are voting to create a permanent underclass of rightness, stateless people in the United States. They are voting to bring back slavery.

The way the media spins stories like this is “look how the dogged cops cleared this terrible quadruple-murder 34 years later” and not “oh by the way they totally accused and convicted the wrong guys before, oops lol” www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

every member of that search committee should get kicked in the shins by the entire population of the diaspora.

Well don't I feel stupid

HEGSETH: Real warriors FIGHT GENERALS: [noise of restrained approval] HEGSETH: Real warriors DRINK GENERALS: [somewhat less noise] HEGSETH: NOBODY tells real warriors how much to drink or when or where GENERALS: [awkward silence] /1

The ADL criticizes Mamdani for not meeting with "mainstream" Jewish groups, but they define "mainstream" in such a way such that if any Jewish groups meet with Mamdani, as many have, they no longer count as "mainstream." It is a game that cannot be won.

In addition to the #MTGStrixhaven web fiction there will be a full novel set in the school of Strixhaven penned by Seanan McGuire! Omens of Chaos is a YA novel set at Strixhaven about the first-ever class of interplanar students who have journeyed to the school via Omenpath.

Good article. This problem is also rampant with trains - every agency wants custom kit instead of just buying things off the rack.

The most accurate recreation of DS9 I've seen.

yeah that's going to win people over to your side. great move. bsky.app/profile/carl...

it’s nice to have a few extra on hand

Yep, this is still a bummer, even though Bit Brigade is still great, and I still wish I had the chance to see some other acts at MAG rather than the same folks three years in a row - particularly because MAG has a stated "no consecutive booking" policy lol

Every time I see someone saying "WILL" in my mentions I know that Will Frank did a pun. Every single time.

We're going to read a "mass grave" headline someday and all the worst people will be shocked, shocked, for the course of a single news cycle.

I have just experienced cataplexy

Such little, little people.

When you have an administration that so constantly, shamelessly, openly lies, pretty soon there’s no faith in any information streams coming from the administration, so there’s no way to convey true information in a way that lands right, which leads to more chaos.

i don't think we get to be the undisputed hegemon anymore but that's not a case for isolationism either. We literally can't withdraw from global affairs in shame and penance even if we wanted to, but we're going to have to learn to live with not getting our way on everything all the time.

Fun fact: if the feds use your copyrights or patents without permission, your only remedy is an action for damages (not an injunction) in the Court of Federal Claims. See 28 USC §1498. Trademark suits are possible, with full remedies available. 15 USC §1122. But rare, for good reason.

it's going to be like when we got rid of smoking in restaurants and on airplanes and within a matter of maybe a year everybody was like "we allowed WHAT?"

I'm not going to argue with people who are fighting for their lives that these other people fighting for *their* lives are more or less important. we all hang together or we all hang separately.

Just a reminder that these "pivotal votes" that the Democrats got in these recent special elections aren't pickups. They are pivotal seats that have been vacant for months because the Democrats who previously held them ran for office notwithstanding age and cancer diagnoses, then died in office.

And here, in a nutshell, we have the entire problem with "debate" culture explained. I've had horrible people be very nice to me and all that means is that they can compartmentalize and CHOOSE who to be awful to. That's not good.

How Chotiner does it. It's a particular One Weird Trick, it's just a trick that none of his victim--I mean, interview subjects would ever believe happens to them.

I've always had a suspicion of Sunstein, in part because my first legal studies professor (when I was in undergrad) passed on his grudge: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.... Good to know we were correct.

Wow. Talk about utter failure to read the room...

There's nothing left in there but a talking id.

An all time disgusting family.

Trump to the UN: "Everyone says I should get the Nobel Peace Prize."

And *this* is linked to a terror and rage at the possibility that their children, which are their property, do not conform to their expectations. A sick cultural dominance game driving every aspect of the Western conservative movement..

Every lawyer working for Tylenol tonight

I crack myself up

it is amazing how many of these guys love to make tough boastful statements then at the slightest sign of pushback back away like little bitches

LIKE SLAVERY I always think I'm fresh out of "wow"s for this shit but, spectacular

There are more things wrong with this than I could possibly fit in 300 characters. But, a particularly dumb aspect is that they’re pointing the blame at “Tylenol,” a massive brand with an army of lawyers, rather than saying “acetaminophen.” 😂
