I didn't realize this is kind of what's happening for me right now.... amazing sentiment

"Broom the soup." A lot of centrists are freaking out right now, and people are both reading too much and too little into the DSA victories, but a metaphor from my career may be helpful here. 1/?

Janeway has met hundreds and hundreds of different species of aliens over the years think about the level of weirdo you have to be for her to make this face at your racial tic.

HAPPY PRIDE!!!

WHEW when Courtney's right, she's right, and she's just about always right

Anti-Prime Day starts…NOW! 🥳 Today through 6/26, enjoy free standard shipping site-wide, all while supporting local, independent bookstores.

Move that henceforth all television shows and movies must contain Stephen Root. Frankly, this is long overdue and is probably the move that will save Hollywood.

Someone please mash up Narcissus and the Portrait of Dorian Gray into the tale a demented man who thought to see his own magnificence reflected in, well, a Reflecting Pool and instead saw failure and algae and decay.

I'm not a concert person, but if this were just a little closer I'd be making an exception. What a joyful party this would be!!!

This is happening in my beloved Pacific Northwest. A place that, to many outsiders, is blue all the way through. But this crap can happen ANYWHERE. We must be vigilant, libraries are a SAFE SPACE, and sometimes being safe means knowing you have one place in your town where you can be yourself.

I realize it's a play and not a novel, but Muppet The Importance of Being Earnest would be pretty fab. Ideally done at a time when Maggie Smith could have played Lady Bracknell. I don't really know about the other roles, but obviously Kermit & Piggy would play Jack & Gwendolyn, respectively.

no disrespect to Christopher Nolan but i feel very confident that a Muppet version of The Odyssey would run laps around the movie he’s making

@spoutlore.bsky.social my Charles Eve wish.

Facts

What a loss! I can't even count the number of copies of "Not All Princesses Dress in Pink" I sold back in the day. I pushed that book like they were paying me, I clearly need to buy my nieces a copy immediately.

It just doesn’t seem sustainable for everything to be impossibly stupid and incredibly evil at the same time. At the very least, we have to pick one or the other.

My soul mate cake horse is back!! I think they should run this at least once a year for eternity

"So I get to take the blame for our country’s tanked economy While fighting for my basic rights and bodily autonomy In short, I’m fucked in matters from the vital to the trivial I am the very model of a modern-age millennial..."

Yourself, but as a cartoon

Losing Marjane Satrapi and Anthony Head within two days really feels like the best parts of the culture I grew up on slipping away. Be kind to the millennial women in your life today.

🚨URGENT need for more people to join the protesters outside Delaney Hall as ICE escalates their violence, per people on the ground. show up if you can.🚨

Never forget that YOU are a data center. Drink some water ffs.

We are almost 10billions humans. The birth rates are *not* low. This is not a conversation about human survival that they are having.

It is not even June and I am already tired of sweating.

this is a masterpiece

Look here upon this picture

Odysseus to the Sirens: "What's up, jerks?!"

Paul Scheer is Odysseus June Diane Raphael is Penelope Jason is every single other character in the book, monsters included

If you're trans and need to escape a hostile part of the USA, consider Seattle. Resources exist to help you get here.

This thread. Read it. Remember it. The younger generations will not save us. They are not better than us. They are the same shitshow as us, just younger, unless we get to work educating them. For every Progressive Millennial or Gen Z'er, there is one who’s a fascist climate-change-denier antivaxxer.

being surprised when young people don’t like capitalism is like being surprised when someone hates Monopoly after you only let them join for the last 10% of the game

There are other sports I enjoy watching live more than baseball, but none make me nearly as happy to learn the history of.

uh, yes

QRP with the doctor you'd trust leading the hantavirus response instead of RFK Jr.:
