My favorite bit in the entire show but “I didn’t use the whole thing” is such a nice touch because you’re already presented with the orphan part but what does using a part of an orphan mean.

passover day one: liberate us from subjugation and bondage of all kinds passover day eight: liberate us from one very particular cracker and its multifarious associates

If we somehow got an aggressive liberal president they'd be constantly accused of "Trump-like tactics" and they should start practicing now how to say "Yeah I did that and it was good." The familiar cautious approach full of self limiting caveats and hand wringing would be a failure

BASEBALL YURI (1/5)

Alabaster Dawn Early Access will launch on MAY 7, 2026!

Bluesky. Bluesky is Gollum. Isolated to an unhealthy degree, veers wildly between moods. Frequently nude.

Social media apps as Lord of the Rings characters, a thread: Twitter: Twitter is Gollum. Began as a normal halfling. Overexposure to evil left it thin and stretched and bitter.

This is a thing of absolute beauty. The Unwanted Guest from The Locked Tomb as a fan artist collective comic. Lovely, and now I have to go read it again with all my footnotes.

I could jam out a giant thread about this, but the hard work was already done by @acollierastro.bsky.social so I'm assigning you to watch an hour-long video about this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmJI6qIqURA

gonna start a conspiracy theory that "yeet" comes from Latin "iacere"

Rest In Merv's

learned yesterday that the Sea Monster Ate My Ice Cream episode of ducktales was like 9/11 for hungarian children

TRAIN ON THE LAKE! TRAIN ON THE LAKE!

slay the spire 2 is very fun and i already have hated enemies. WHY are hunter killers SO strong *and* regular enemies??? those fuckers have ended more runs than anyone! i'd rather face a boss!!!!

The two trans genders are “Anything I say or do wrong ever is a blow to the honor and safety of trans people for all time and all transphobia is my fault personally” and “I see no reason why not to piss off as many cis people as possible for no discernible reason.”

Stars aren't real. I either liked it or I didn't

what the fuck is going on in Sam Altman’s head

TRAIN ON THE LAKE TRAIN ON THE LAKE I love the enthusiasm people can have for simple things. Simple things that help ordinary everyday people lead more fulfilling lives. This is an engineering marvel and I cannot wait for it to become boring because that means it's working.

in my lifetime I can think of one (1) politician whose victories relied on consistently getting nonvoters to show up for him rather than simply doing better among reliable voters his name is donald trump

At a used bookstore where there's a Shakespeare Retold display that has The Raven Tower, and

I made it my life mission to reference this as many times as I can

I know it’s competing with an illegal war and 10,000 other major scandals but I feel like people should be making a bigger deal out of the DefSec systematically trying to resegregate the military

Ya’ll, I took the new train into Seattle, and met another trans girl who was also excited about the fact that we have the world’s first (technically second) train on a floating bridge and my wife called it the Trains Day of Visibility.

Si-Fi story where aliens land and proceed to totally ignore humanity but seem weirdly fascinated with gerbils. Monitor wild gerbils. Take all the gerbils from pet stores. Make no effort to communicate with humans. Only interaction is minimum force required to ensure gerbil observation is unimpeded.

On the contrary, there is a man in the moon, and he looks like this, but it would be good if we killed him to free Isabel and Tara from the Midnight Realm

I know this is the worst thing you can say on Bluesky but Chuck Schumer played this really well www.rawstory.com/mike-johnson...

This is the sort of gangsterism that even Genghis Khan found to be offensive, it breaks a taboo that predates the very idea of true international law.

in honor of April Fools' day, here are some of my best "what fool" jokes (🧵): what fool called it "shitposting" rather than "poste-merdernism" what fool called us "Ashkenazi Jews" rather than "the mandelbrot set" what fool called them "leather pups" rather than "subwoofers"

also israel is an overt and open enemy of american democracy

This is one of the things that drive me insane. This town (DC) loves saying Israel is an ally while not understanding the legal definition of an ally. Meanwhile, we treat our real allies (Denmark) like dogshit.

The biannual question: did they time [x] piece of anti-trans news for TDOV/TDOR because they’re cunts, or are there just so many anti-trans actions happening all the time that some fall inevitably and coincidentally on our visibility and memorial days?

It’s like if Charlie Brown got a million dollars every time Lucy pulled the football.

It brings me great pleasure to inform you the word "blurb" is named after a made-up woman named Belinda Blurb whose job is to tell everyone how great a book is

people finding out a science fiction writer they like has bad and incoherent politics

Make sure to rotate your pronouns periodically, so that if your gender becomes compromised, attackers can only access it for a short period of time.

And the ribbon is cut!! 🎉🎉 Let the cross-lake 2 Line rides commence.

American strategic thinking:

amazing quote in the comments too, which explains why the correct ethics is virtue utilitarianism

Flying to Phoenix tomorrow and I’m less worried about the trip there then whether I be able to make it back.

This shitpost makes me realize that it was probably for the best that Gendo was a deadbeat dad. Gendo as an involved parent is scarier

The four types: The child who asks "What are the testimonies, statutes, laws of Bluesky that we are obligated to poast" The child who asks "What does this skeet mean to you" The child who asks "What is this" The child who does not know to log on to Bluesky

Scavengers Reign is a show where at one point you watch the entire life cycle of a plant for like 5 minutes and it’s somehow the best thing you’ve ever seen. If you haven’t watched this show you are depriving yourself of transcendent beauty.

This is correct. I think the underlying issue this piece kinda of elides tho is that a bunch of Americans online are convinced that they are communists, when they are actually just libertarians who use leftist rhetoric to rationalize their libertarianism.
