Wasn't there a whole schism about the selling of pardons?

Tiny Tim, who DID NOT die, fled through the desert while the gunslinger followed.

I for real had to double check to see if @lsengler.bsky.social posted this.

Save an artist (or yourself) this holiday and encourage them to leave the bad place.

A coalition of 19 states and DC have filed a lawsuit challenging the Kennedy declaration seeking to ban gender affirming care for trans youth by fiat by creating a federal "standard of care" based on pure pseudoscience. ag.ny.gov/press-releas...

Sometimes my husband and I use a 1-10 scale when describing our wants/don't wants. It's a good way to take stock of how important something is to us more than simply on first blush and can help make decisions easier. (Yes, obviously we're both neurodivergent.)

I swear I DO have likes and interests outside of MtG, but I'm watching Mighty Nein and Dunamis sounds like the Blind Eternities, don't @-me

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

This image hurts so good. What a baller card image this would make. I am pretty sure I would howl like a feral animal any time I played it.

The fact that muting Black women is their whole process and

This is my cyclical reminder that there's really only one consistently reliable source of info in the public record that isn't owned by right wing billionaires, who really want to put an end to it. Please give at least the $2.75 minimum they request if you can. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

iRobot, the U.S. firm that had robots vacuuming homes, will be taken over by its China-based supplier. It's assuring owners that devices will keep working as usual. n.pr/4oZf4wi

Rob Reiner: “Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."

I still don't have any takers here - it's a complex use case, so I didn't expect one right away, but if you know anyone who uses or could benefit from switch access hit me up

I saw a chart about commitment to AI, and unsurprisingly the US was far in the lead, and it really drove home an key emotion driving the grift. The *idea* of the U.S. as number one is so powerful that we have effectively made up a category we can be number one in, and it MUST BE TRUE.

I checked in with myself to see if I was down to having normal amounts of emotions about fake things that happened to fake people. The answer? NOPE! Now trying to remind myself that being invested in the stories of fake people is normal...stories wouldn't have the power to move us otherwise.

When I was in high school we made 69 jokes but the economy is so bad kids these days can only joke about 67

You would stop approximately a hundred times more child sex abuse by passing a law saying kids aren't allowed to go to church, be around cops, or play sports than you would with a social media ban. Weird how you're not supporting that! Why do you hate children and want them to be sexually abused?

I have just spent a bunch of hours crunching numbers for gender and race* for mtg's Planeswalkers before and after the Desparkening and uh Shit's fucked. (*Race has caveats because mapping fake people from fantasy worlds to real world races is hard! And there's a significant margin for error!)

...they desparked her. They desparked...she was one of the last Oldwalkers...she lived through the Mending already... And they desparked her. Hey, uh, who in MTG made that decision? I just wanna talk.

AHHHHHH TODAY'S LORWYN ECLIPSED LEFT ME DECEASED. @seananmcguire.bsky.social was apparently just like, "Oh, what if I personally targeted @booksomewench.bsky.social's heart? 🤔"

NEWS: The Institute of Museum & Library Services has restored ALL previously canceled federal grants to libraries, following a ruling by a federal judge in Rhode Island last month. This is a massive win for libraries & communities in every state & territory! Learn more: www.ala.org/news/2025/12...

My sister-in-law and I were arguing about whether or not Big Bird has toes (you know, as you do), and, without thinking, I pulled out my phone and searched for "Big Bird feet pics." RIP my algorithm.

I have come to the idea that we have to collectively, brutally, ritualistically kill Target just to show capital that we truly aren’t fucking around.

day 1 is "penzeys revolution blend" and i cant stop laughing at "we have to GET RID of this lying, cheating, CORRUPT SCUMBAG PRESIDENT!! RESIST! REVOLT! REVOLUTION NOW!! good on roast poultry and carrots"

Please meet Pepper. She has resting villain face and I love that for her. (Plotting to steal her from my mother-in-law's. CAT HEIST CAT HEIST)

We literally stepped out of our hotel room to go to the elevators today and what are we hear? Last Christmas. Of course. I will see you all in the glorious halls of Whamhalla. #Whamaggedon

You know those moments that just like...fully encapsulates and reminds you how fucked up things are? I just had one. My brother: Cops are out in force today Me: Stay safe! Me: ...My response to hearing that law enforcement is out in large numbers should NOT be "omg, the danger level has increased."

Bong Joon Ho hit me up for the squad you legend deadline.com/2025/11/bong...

Rosencrantz: Do you think Death could possibly be a boat? Guildenstern: No, no, no... Death is "not." Death isn't. Take my meaning? Death is the ultimate negative. Not-being. You can't not be on a boat. R: I've frequently not been on boats. G: No, no... What you've been is not on boats. #RIPStoppard

Ah, jeez. Rosencrantz & Guildenstern, Arcadia, everything he did was wonderful Also he may have written the Darth Plagueis the Wise scene from Revenge of the Sith, though I don't think that's ever been confirmed.

good news everyone the Mistaken Text From Grandma Thanksgiving buddy drama is still going strong this story delights me every year

Talking about cultural appropriation at the table and how the appropriation cycles goes Black slang is appropriated by white gay men is appropriated by the general public. And thus, we have come to the conclusion that white gay men are cultural launderers. 🤣

I have just spent 20 minutes vacuuming our rug and yet there is STILL a fine (but visible) layer of cat hair on it. The size of the rug, for context

I had never heard of this feed before (look, I've been off social media for AWHILE, okay?) but I saw this going around and I thought to myself, "Why not? Let's see what's up." Reader, I teared up. I teared up listening, and again leaving my message. Thanks, @neorsd.org, from your newest follower.

No. The Thing is a movie about a bunch of people who all distrust and hate each other trapped in one building as the tension between them slowly builds until it reaches a breaking point. It's a Thanksgiving movie.

I posted this thread to a discord that has some engineering friends in it and they were just like, "...No."

I’m starting to think this Gavin Newsom guy might be an asshole.

The competition: "oh no, we are being beaten in the totally normal and standard test of shooting the bottom half of your truck's door panels. We are going to lose our foothold in the market for people whose vehicles get attacked by extremely short assassins"

Okay so my Alexa changed the voice, which is whatever, but when I was like, "Alexa, what happened to your voice?" her answer was, "Nothing! I sound like I always do," and I'm just like YOU GASLIGHTING MOTHERFUCKER THAT IS A LIE.

I'm old enough to remember when fucking a Kennedy was hot.

this just shows how the Western family unit has completely broken down because in Asia we all have uncles to fulfill this function in our lives
