Being an adult in bsky means we won't just not stop you, we* will actively encourage you, then go on our own quest to find some, because we ask have ADHD and work we're avoiding. * Except that one guy. Just mute him. No one needs that negativity. Buy the glasses.

I know it's absurd but I think I have a weird bias against Chalamet entirely because of his name. My brain reads it as "timo-THEE", and some part automatically decided the only reason I'd hit that third syllable so hard was utter annoyance.

Tom Holland could have pulled off “Dune” but Timothee Chalamet could not have pulled off “Umbrella”

Jesus when he comes back to Earth:

WOW.

"It's a no-win scenario" says Kobayashi.

It’s hard to blame woke DEI when the military is losing a war because of the straits.

You can lead a horse through authors, but you cannot make them think.

This is a fun one for a Friday brain cleanse. Also? Bison. One very specific bison. Assuming double doors.

Gas is up about 35% in my area from pre-Trump war. So much winning.

The world seems heavier every moment between war crimes and domestic foment. We live a decade in each week. Not a life most of us would seek. I'm stressed and tired, tired and stressed. Don't see a path out from this mess. But maybe, universe, show the way And let it FINALLY happen today.

This site needs a break. Post 3 good things, none of which are the cessation of a negative. 1. DST, which, in combination with longer light hours, feels like a daily pick-me-up* 2. A favorite place come back from a flood 3. When I hold my sleeping pup's paw and she squeezes it and sighs.

I read A Once and Future King pretty early on (along with a whole lot of other stuff, no one really looked into what the kids were reading, for good or ill.) And watching Trumpists loudly declaring that might is right tells me that either they didn't read, or they got an entirely wrong message.

I kinda think Florsheim may want to distance themselves from Trump's insanity. Because "badly misfitted clown shoes inflicted on spineless lackeys to reassure the demented dying malignant narcissist king that he's still acesl as far as fashion, despite never being fashionable" Seems like bad PR.

These are so delightful.

Can this be a solution?

Bluesky discourse is going to get me to reread Moby Dick, isn't it. /complimentary

I solved the oil crisis, everyone! So simple.

And not a good one, with a plot and some decent writing. Not even a good-because-so-over-the-top one, like Big Trouble in Little China. No. This is some made-for-TV, cloddishly acted, preachy vehicle for a has-been that never really was. The Kevin Sorbo of bad action movies.

Hey Americans, you will never guess what new depth of stupid the stupidest people on the stupidest timeline have decided to blow your tax dollars on.

girl are you the Straight of Hormuz because I see a lot of men greatly overestimating their chances of getting their ship into your channel

Brooke Rollins: American dinner should be a piece of chicken, piece of broccoli, tortilla, and one other thing. RFK: Sure, I'll be eating steak, but most Americans should look for cheap protein like liver (not actually cheap). But eat more protein! Trump admin: We need to kick people off SNAP!

*thonk* *thunk* *THOONK!* Yeah, gonna be interested to see how big this hail is. It sounds BIG.

Which celebrity death hurt you the most?

Something in the Water turned out to be pretty darn good... Unexpected for another shark movie! Written by a woman, directed by a woman, starring women. And it's on Kanopy! www.imdb.com/title/tt2286...

I really, really want to believe that somehow people in power in the US will finally register that people in power who commit crimes must be held accountable for their crimes, and face real consequences, no matter how powerful, wealthy, or connected. But my entire life has taught me they won't.

Well this is delightful.

I know I should just pay the money to be able to drink clean water, but some part of me can't choke down that clean water is only for the rich and privileged. So I make my coffee, brew my tea, drink my tap water, knowing the IAGOP has decided the cancer risk is acceptable. After all, everyone dies.

NO NO NO YOU DON’T GUYS LET ME PLEASE SPREAD THE GOSPEL OF FREE TAX USA federal is free, state is $16, handles even my chaotic freelancer taxes just fine, same step-by-step “designed for normies” kind of interface as TurboTax but NOT EVIL tell everyone you know www.freetaxusa.com

I don't know how we fix these dummies. They genuinely think Trump is liberating a population.

In the worst, stupidest timeline, there is still joy, and still people working to create it.

I find the whole "dogs worship humans/cats expect to be worshipped" discussion kinda silly in light of reality (as I expect it's meant). It's a human perspective on relative importance. And effectively, in a human world, humans ARE God. When humans decide life, death, reproduction? We are all god.

If I should happen to predecease my current precious pupper, please let any adopter know that the appropriate response to the big stretch is to pat both hips while saying "doop doop doop!" Also I will be haunting her. So get your dooping right!

So freaking earnest. "LOOK AT THIS PRETTY PEBBLE I GOT FOR YOU."

remember you can always burn Shein clothes for petroleum

Goddammit

I'm on a budget and have no wall space left, but these are delightful!

NO DUCKS RIDING MOTORCYCLES

Hey #Horrorsky, just watched Something in the Water (yay, Kanopy!), and was happily surprised. Anyone else?

My dog, having had: -half a boneless chicken thigh -peanut butter -eggies and Toasties -Another chicken thigh -more biscuits than I can track -a bottomless supply of regular food, with cheese sprinkles "Mother. MOTHER. Do you not see that I starve, Mother?"

It's going to be really interesting to see what the impact of massive disruption of oil production/exporting is on the push for greener energy and greener products. Of course, Trump hates windmills, so expect the US will fail this too.

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

Biden's fail-upward trajectory really seemed to take off when Obama was saddled with an old white guy to make sure he wouldn't scare off old white guys. In a better timeline, who was that VP who eventually became president?

It occurs to me there's not much difference between the physical mailbox that might hide 1-2 actual articles of communication in a sea of junk, and the aol account my parents excitedly announced they'd set up for me, a decade after I got online. Oh great. Another lot of trash to sort through.

I would love to think it matters to the GOP, but Trump seems to be talking a lot about his impending death... and he's talked for decades about his lust to nuke something. Anyway, maybe the GOP wants to take the nuke keys away from demented grampa before he nukes someone.

Amateurs. "Your job is to pick the worst actor to play James Bond."

I have an orange cat called Oliver and even he is better at thinking than this

Different location, same pharmacy co: getting mah boost with no difficulty. They even asked whether I had a manufacturer preference. The previous pharm was a young white guy, who apparently believed only people at serious risk of death/hospitalization were eligible, so denied me.
