Dear new Apple CEO, You could do a lot worse than relaunch the iPod as a budget-friendly (under $400, you can do it! ) delivery system for serious music fans. Two T of storage, ability to play FLACs, real headphone jack. You have no idea the goodwill this would generate.

This may be a fundamentally new kind of sin blending blasphemy, idolatry, divination, and simony, among others. Those who are not horrified at this may be entirely lacking in authentic religious awareness and feeling.

FUCKING THIS. EVERY DAMN DAY we have to deal with a whole bunch of putting some man's "value to society" over our basic humanity. EVERY DAY. "But he'll be a good president." Find someone else. "But he's a good comedian." So will someone else be. "But he catches footballs good." FUCK OFF WITH THAT.

I'm moonscrolling

Hell yes I’m the pilot

Our friends at Firestorm are struggling in the face of disaster capitalism. A queer- and worker-owned bookstore that has, over and over, been there for the community. They let me set up a referral page with them. Books from my podcasts, my books, and books I love firestorm.coop/r/killjoy.html

This quote from Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell has been in my head the last few days

Today is April Fools Boxing Day. So find the people who pranked you yesterday and beat them up.

Gentle reminder on this day: saying things like "we are all immigrants (except natives)" actually erases important amounts of American history. There are a lot of people who are not native whose ancestors never immigrated to the US.

Prince Andrew arrested over Epstein ties on the same day South Korea’s ex-president was jailed for life for attempting a coup. Lord, I have seen what you’ve done for others 🙏🙏 www.bbc.com/news/article...

Yeah, the mind-boggling and incredible advances in preventative medicine and vaccines achieved in the last 20 years.

I think it’s time to acknowledge the real problem. We’re in a bitchassness epidemic.

I have not been much of a jeopardy viewer in the Ken Jennings era, but this is one of the coolest things I have ever seen in Something like 40 years of watching that show on and off

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work. "Sometimes God's beloved children gotta stay mad."
