Speed dating is where you have to tell Keanu Reeves a little bit about yourself or this bus will explode

Hahah why bother with data centers if you can just install the equivalent of a bitcoin miner on everyone's fucking computer Anyway, use Vivaldi. It's an old fork of chrome from before it was enshittified, it can use chrome add-ons, but has none of this shit

This is such incredible bullshit. I am alive, thriving, and writing books on health policy/politics thanks to antidepressants. Antidepressants aren't for everyone, but they can be literal lifesavers. Attacking their prescribing & use is stigmatizing and dangerous. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/04/s...

I take Lexapro. I have taken Lexapro for over two decades. The times that I have discontinued taking Lexapro have ended very badly for me. RFKJ is trying to kill millions of Americans like me. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/04/s...

He was a skater frog

so many people don’t even get the chance to TRY an anti depressant because access to professionals is so difficult and scary. we lose so many people we love for nothing but lack of care.

your software is not conscious, you absolute weirdo

No one inside the U.S. has any money for expensive vacations, no one outside the U.S. wants to get arrested or shot by ICE, and anyone who is willing to travel for the World Cup isn't picking the city where every destination is a 30 minute Uber ride apart

It's a country where many many poor people truly believe they might become rich.

i am tired of having to listen to dumb assholes just because they have a lot of money

This is a blunt summary of something I think about A LOT.

it is the 1954 movie Sabrina starring Audrey Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart, which is such a serve I can barely handle it

Winning a Pulitzer while your employer thinks you don't deserve just cause protections is just so fucking... i dont even know. just so fucked.

It has been called out ad nauseam but the people who are upset about a professor highlighting the achievements of pro-Palestine activists are the same people who gleefully said that campus was not a "safe space" when we tried to deplatform people like Milo Yiannopoulis and Gavin McInnes.

In honor of mental health awareness month I’d like to remind you that iron is a REQUIRED cofactor to make serotonin and dopamine. And most pregnant women are deficient tinyurl.com/Ironpreg As well as a huge number of people who menstruate. Tinyurl.com/JAMAFe

I see so many guys like this. They've been raises in racist patriarchy, trained to be selfish & imperious toward other people, but then they reach a stage of life where they have no power & no one *has to* put up with their shit ... so no one does. And they are utterly at sea.

I know she's been in this corner a while now but “I can’t do ‘Illegal,’ though some of you could be in the audience” is still a pretty wild thing for the "Borders" songwriter and video star to say all these years later (www.theguardian.com/music/2015/n...)

Guys, while I am saying this solely in my capacity as your non-fiduciary shitposter buddy, I really do mean it when I suggest you should try to frontload any major purchases you were planning on making in the next year or two insofar as it is practicable.

TIL the infamous "inkblot test" always uses the same 10 inkblots

It's not quite that they pretend those killings never happened -- they developed an alternate narrative in which the killer was actually a leftist working for Tim Walz. www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/aft...

One of the most amusingly petty things Justice Alito does is to put deadlines on administrative stays *only* when he is deeply *unsympathetic* to the applicants. He did it in the 2023 mife case and the 2024 SB4 immigration case; and he did it today. In all other cases, his stays are indefinite:

Buster Keaton interviewed about filmmaking and discussing THE GENERAL. He 100% was on board with making the Confederates the heroes and intentionally ended the picture at a place where the South was winning. This is not up for debate.

Once again, @dahlialithwick.bsky.social and her guests on Amicus help me hold onto some shreds of sanity and remain focused amidst the chicanery that threatens to flood our legal system. Her talk this week with @audrelawdamercy.blacksky.app about Louisiana v. Callais is a must-listen. bit.ly/4cNwZU3

Anne Hathaway, you will ALWAYS be that girl. 💙💛

You need people who know you offline. Comrades who you trust. People who will ask questions if they need clarification and those who will be soft places to land.

Nostalgia is a plague and much of what they take for granted or lament being in danger of being taken away now, didn’t exist in the 90s. That includes technology, but rights, and norms as well.

You never have to defend politicians. You really do not. When you feel the urge bubbling up, drink water and keep it moving.

Happy "Hitler Killed Himself in a Bunker Day" to those who celebrate.

something our society really seems to struggle with is the idea that multiple things can be bad at once

Excellent essay from @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social www.bostonreview.net/articles/a-y...

I just can't get over how for decades the line among political scientists was that presidents get blamed for economic conditions even though they don't have much control over them ... ... and Trump just came in and proved that he could significantly affect conditions *and* reap the blame!
