So yeah I grew up south of Lansing, over here OUCH and for a while lived in Ann Arbor OUCH and then moved up to Traverse City OUCH OUCH

YouTube being down has drastically altered my plans for the evening. It may be some time for self-reflection.

I think Elmo is actually too young for a smart phone, and especially shouldn't be personifying it. Follow for more hot Sesame Street takes

Even if you fully intend to vote for whoever the Democratic nominee ends up being, there’s a huge difference between doing that quietly in November 2028 and loudly announcing it years in advance with zero conditions attached.

If you got pregnant on valentine's, you may be rushing home from voting for president so you can cut the cake on your child's second birthday. You could start and complete a master's degree program between now and the presidential election.

units discourse is so boring. is a taco a sandwich but for gifted kids (derogatory).

Cannot tell you how hard I would be campaigning for the "Prosecute them all. Stack the court. Term limits on justices. Age limit on congress." candidates.

With the Discord age-verification nonsense, it reminded me that when I was 11, in order to join Neopets (because I didn't realize I could just lie and say I was over 13), my mom printed out a permission form they had on the site, signed it, and faxed it to Neopets.

Both teams were clearly just saving their energy until the last 5 minutes. Smart.

the tv show Silicon Valley was right on the money that the only way for these guys to make the world a truly better place is to destroy everything they cared to build professionally and then go away in shame and just shut up for a long time in obscurity

Sorry to quote-post like this, but I can't reply to the original. I did find the PDF on their horrible website, but couldn't find the image anywhere on it. I still think this image was produced as satire, but I'm not sure one way or the other now, so I'll delete my original post

Billie Eilish: "No one is illegal on stolen land"

a lot of people are being radicalized by ICE this week so please remember that the most important thing when someone comes to any kind of radical politics is to immediately scold them for doing activism wrong as someone who has been doing it much longer

Dang what a night for Billie

you will NEVER convince me that an illegal immigrant is my enemy and that a person who would do this to a child is my friend

that little girl has every right to be on the sidewalk of her own damn city. she lives here. i don't want to hear any shit about how she shouldn't have been down there. she is a citizen of portland oregon and she is entitled to use of our public sidewalks at all times

Unfriendly reminder, AI is being used to destroy trust. Do not normalize the use of AI. AI can not reliably enhance videos or low-quality images. This is the quiet replacement of reality. Do not let this be normalized.

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

Not only does ICE need to be abolished, but there should be publically aired tribunals for as long as it takes to hold every last one of these thugs accountable. No one, not even the people who file paperwork or handle payroll, should be immune from prosecution.

It's about 69 inside my house with a relative humidity of 0 and I'm wearing a big fuzzy robe and I was holding my cat and as he slid out of my arms as i set him down, i electrocuted him and he's dead now

A good way to keep your house warm is to make sure all the windows are shut. The average American actually has 60% of their windows a tiny bit open and they don't even realize it, according to a study I conducted in my house earlier this evening

It is really frightening to think of how someone can mar their soul to the point where this seems ok to do

Just had some nostalgia for Did It Happen Watch 2020 when he got COVID. That may have been the last time that being on Twitter was a truly great experience.

Thinking about this again suddenly for no reason

They have fucking assault rifles and we have whistles and they’re scared shitless, because they know we’d rather be righteous and dead than ever be them.

Scott Adams has sadly passed away. Love him or hate him, I think we can all agree that he was a stupid fucking dipshit and the world is better today than it was yesterday

Scott Adams died from tazing himself in the balls

This is how they played The First of Us

the news is saying the ICE shooting was at 102nd and SE Main. i live right by there and am trying to figure out where they're talking about. 102nd and main doesn't seem to exist. 102nd doesn't go through to main, it cuts off on either side of the adventist hospital campus

Quick reminder now that the killer has been identified

The image of the blood-soaked airbag next to the glove compartment overflowing with stuffed animals is going to stick with me for a very long time.

I've said before that after 20 years of organizing I am for the first time staying away from public-facing direct action resistance work, because I fear leaving my kids without their mom. Good had a kid the same age as my eldest. She was doing work of conscience and they murdered that child's mom.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Stupid, stupid, stupid. Heartbreaking and maddening, thinking of the wonderful science that will now just sit on Mars, literally gathering dust, for many years. Pathetic politicians with no curiosity or sense of wonder. I hate the world they make us live in and the future they're denying us.

Six Feet Under. It does the near-impossible thing of not just tightly resolving the characters' arcs, but does so by hammering home every theme the show was ever about. I can't say anything else without spoiling it, so do yourself a favor and just watch the whole god damn show.

"Those who are ignorant of history are doomed to repeat it" apparently also includes Democrats who literally lived through that history in 2003

MYTH Data centers are destroying the planet with their aggressive water demands. FACT Nudifying one 12-year-old requires less than 0.1 mL of water, and the water is merely heated and remains clean and safe for other uses.

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to jump out of a helicopter to kidnap a head of state and his wife so some oil ceos can make a lot of money. we’ll be watching from a resort in florida that still serves wedge salad and checking how many retweets we get. good luck soldier

You should be embarrassed to be a member of congress and issuing anything other than impeachment resolutions. You're in the model UN. They should give you legos and a propeller hat

Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.

Good thing he aced another mental test the other day, or I might have assumed this was a crazy move

this is all happening because 80,000 people in the 6 states where votes actually count googled "joe bidon still presdinant?" on election day morning

I really like this joke from @joshgondelman.bsky.social

In honor of the MTV news, please enjoy this (holy shit, 13-year-old) video from @brianfirenzi.bsky.social (and Maria del Carmen, who maybe doesn't have a Bluesky?) www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ysy...

This story is two months old. What did we know and when did we know it?

The Mac Color Classic looks like a amongus going 🫦
