Also, if you want a good structural explanation of when trust in all the institutions started to 📉, the answer is Dec 12, 2000, when we learned our votes don't actually count & the baseline rules of the game weren't actually the rules of the game & the institutions were nothing but norms & duct tape

The Taco Bell finger pointing is a psyop to redirect attention from the real culprit, the deregulation and lack of oversight in our food supply

I didn’t even know there was a “code purple.” 😳

I’m finally going to listen to my doctor and eat more vegetables and get more fresh air

Hmm. Highlander 2? Encino Man? A Night at the Roxbury?

When I was a kid, people used to say ‘The great thing about America is that anyone can grow up to be President’ but if that were true, we would have had 23 or 24 women Presidents by this point and, say, six Black Presidents. I have no idea why people used to say the things they did.

Well, the smoke has made it to Northern Virginia. You can see the haze and it smells like burning plastic. (Meanwhile, one of our neighbors is sitting, shirtless, in his backyard scrolling his phone like it’s a lovely spring morning.)

I will not be listening to opinions on gender and biology from those who think women originated from a rib cage…

I'm really scared about this address tonight. They are just going to declare a bunch of Democrats frauds and then it's going to go to court for years and then it will be too late. And the Democrats will say there's nothing they can do, and maybe there isn't. Someone talk me down, please.

Boomers love ChatGPT as much as they love shouting at Alexa to turn on music or ask what the weather is instead of just looking at their phone. I guess it’s the Star Trek future they always wanted.

At the market.

The news is always "This absolute fool was dismantled in hearings today. He is manifestly unqualified for the position and would be an existential danger if confirmed. Disaster. He is set to be confirmed immediately." When you ask why everyone is furious and exhausted all the time, this is why.

I’ve been printing cyanotypes for a non-juried show for like a week now and they all suck and I don’t know why I ever thought I could create things and I hate everything I’ve ever done and I’m a fraud and everyone knows it. (I’ll feel better later, I just had to get that out there.)

The attack on libraries seems like an attack on free speech, information and on public resources funded collectively. But it's all that plus the only free third space left.

In my experience, youtube is where the ads for normal stuff like groceries and detergent went, broadcast ads are for prescription drugs, and Tubi ads are the ads they play in Robocop.

Alex Horne and Greg Davies, the hosts of the British competition show Taskmaster, join us to chat about some of their favorite past tasks, why most of the contestants are comedians, and so much more! www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpKO...

We have a head of romaine in the fridge. Should I just chuck it??? I’m thinking that just eating Twinkies until we have a functioning government again might be safest.

I’m not sure how we are supposed to take Meta seriously as a “tech company” when a search on Marketplace for “vintage bar” brings up this…

Happy Bastille Day! 🚫👑 www.si.edu/object/fragm...

Any other Gen Xers getting an uncanny “end of the USSR” feeling around not knowing what Senators are alive or dead, etc.?

She’s had a hard day.

When the weather gets hot, please take special care for the goths in your life. With their floor-length coats, platform shoes, and velvet capes, it’s hard for them to thermoregulate as we do.

Got left behind today but not letting it get me down because the guys that got raptured didn’t even get to bring their Baja Blasts

Imagine if Liz Warren just up and died and any Republican anywhere said anything nice about her. You can't. It would never happen. You don't have to keep on with the 'we go high' bullshit.

posting this Classic over here in honor of the big man himself. adios bitch

Mainstream Respectable opinion is that people joking about a bad person's death represents a culture of cruelty, but really it represents a culture of impunity. It's a coping mechanism for watching someone do evil their whole life and never seeing consequences

Live footage of senate maneuvering.

whoops broke my own thread, it is once again too bright to see out here bsky.app/profile/musi...

we keep slobbering for non-politicians who "don't play politics", we want to keep the politics out of politics, and it's killing us, and I don't know how to make people stop feeding at that trough. We're hopelessly addicted to parasocial fandom in a way that seems to enable sociopaths.

Celebrities across the entertainment industry mourned the death of Bonnie Tyler at age 75, expressing affection and admiration for the gravelly voiced, Grammy-nominated Welsh pop star.

caillou is a thirty five year old man who traded places with the real caillou without the parents knowledge he is not even french canadian

We are on the verge of revolutions in solar energy and in mRNA medical research, but the USA won't participate in them because our leaders are retrograde morons who would rather see people burn and die than change.

This is the exact opposite of the truth. Right, @darthbluesky.bsky.social?

the reason that people are being so loud about "i told you so" with platner is that it sucks shit to have to spend your entire life doing an uncredited minor in how to avoid being the victim of sexual violence and then have that expertise dismissed as you being a shrill hysterical bitch
