eek

I don’t know, guys, I’m starting to think logical debate isn’t actually changing Trump supporters’ minds. But let’s give it another decade, I’m sure it’ll work then. They’re probably good people, just confused.

No lies were told.

Them: ADHD isn’t a disability, it’s a super power! Me: WHAT THE FUCK KIND OF SUPERPOWER MAKES YOU HEAR THE THEME SONG TO CHARLES IN CHARGE ON LOOP FOR A WEEK

Noam Chomsky and Stephen Pinker say Epstein was an intellectual force with a mind like steel trap and then his e-mails read like the ending of Flowers for Algernon.

Your friends who are sex assault survivors are having a rough week.

Ha, so weird that there would be statements about Trump’s people threatening girls with being buried on Trump’s golf course as a method of control and long after that he actually buried the ex wife who documented him abusing her on his golf course. What a coincidence!

I don’t come on social media much anymore primarily because I assume no one wants to see me just post “what the actual fuck?” Or “We literally and specifically told you all this was going to happen, and you’re still denying it’s happening” thirty times a day.

Trump: “It is perfectly reasonable to kidnap the president of another country and take him into custody” Democrats:

Must be pretty confusing to be one of those “vote Trump for peace” folks this week. Of course if you’re that stupid everything is probably pretty confusing all the time.

One of the greatest mobster movie scenes in history. I will die on this hill.

Link was the best user anyone followed. It’s not just you. There’s a reason I spend very little time here these days, certainly since Link’s short-lived retirement earlier this year. It’s that the Wild West days are gone and I remember what Arizona was like for about 75 years after they ended there.

Hungry Like The Wolf

Doctors are literally the worst.

My grandmother used to say, “It’s just as easy to fall in love with a rich man as a poor man” and for the first time it has occurred to me to wonder whether my grandmother might not have been a lesbian 🤔

Breaking news: pentagon allegedly thinks the children of middle and upper middle class white people will now agree to get shot at in a desert somewhere because a podcaster they loved was murdered. Reached for comment, the pentagon through a spokesperson said “nah, it’ll mostly still be the poor.”

You being careless puts those people in more danger. You signed up for a protest? Great, now the police can subpoena the records, determine who signed up, and check their social media for photos, check their phone locations for who was nearby, etc, etc.

This thread. I understand many on this site are new to protests with the kind of stakes your current protests have. But you need to become aware of those stakes and be aware that there are new risks you may not have had to think about before. Listen to the people who have already lived those stakes.

“Political violence” quickly reaching “date rape” levels of subdividing crimes with descriptors for no good reason I can think of.

I am a lawyer but I'm not YOUR lawyer. But this is very good guidance. SHUT THE FUCK UP WEDNESDAY IS IN EFFECT.

The problem is not that our laws don’t let people “decide to die with dignity.” The problem is that we’ve let everyone convince us that being bedridden, confused, and/or incontinent means you don’t have dignity.

I think my favorite food packaging trend of the last couple decades is “MADE WITH REAL INGREDIENTS”. Really reminds me of the rapid decline of American discourse and intelligence so I don’t overestimate people.

Quote this with a performance that stole a film: Bill Murray in Zombieland

I'm so bored I made up a new time waster. Take your birthday, subtract 266 days, and look up what was happening in the world that may have made your parents conceive you using the “what happened on this date” website.

The greatest lie Hollywood and your married friends ever told is that you should marry your best friend. I love my wife, but she is not my friend. She is my partner, my compatriot, my support, my great love, and I never watch bad reality Tv in bed in my underwear with my friends. Happy Anniversary

I can’t decide if it’s better or worse if MAGA really is so fucking ignorant and stupid that so many of them actually didn’t realize until last month that they were tricked into rabidly supporting a sex criminal for a decade.

Do NOT get on this guy’s hit list

Men will literally cheat on their wives at a Coldplay concert instead of going to therapy.

I miss seeing Mark Valley on tv regularly. I like that I just found him on Bluesky.

If you wondered why so many of us are so adamant that we have to remove “except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted” from the 13th Amendment…

Post your favorite Doctor Who. Wrong answers only

Really tho, are y’all paying attention to Bryan Fuller’s career? Co-creator of Wonderfalls; co-creator of two Star Trek franchises, and writer for two more including DS9; writer for Heroes; developed American Gods for TV; creator of Pushing Daisies, Dead Like Me, and *Hannibal* like 👀

Happy Father’s Day to those who are estranged from their own. If you need a middle aged pudgy guy to make bad puns and grill something while being emotionally unavailable, let me know.

There are more people on Airline highway to welcome back a Saints plane in the middle of the night when they lose in the playoffs then there were at the DC parade yesterday.

New Orleans knows that people show up to parades for beads, not tanks.

The best part of working from home is that I only own two pairs of pants. One of them just wore out. Anyone have pants suggestions?

Advocating for violence in protests on social media makes you an idiot and also does real damage to actual protestors - both violent and non-violent. If you believe protest should be violent that’s certainly an issue that is ripe for debate but also shut up until the protests are over.

Your opinion is not entitled to weight - and you are not entitled to the argument and opinions of others - based solely on the number of zeroes in your bank account. It’s possible people just don’t want to talk with you the way you want them to. So they don’t.

“Hurting usage” implies that the goal is for everyone in the world to use this app. It is not. When you have a busy bar, ejecting Nazis doesn’t “hurt volume” it preserves the place as exactly what it is intended to be. A non-Nazi bar.

The number of idiots who understand things about a year after they would matter in this country is reaching an all time high.

@jimdigriz.bsky.social and i used to have an art teacher in elementary school who would berate the entire class every single week for squeezing paint tubes 😁 “You squeeze it from the bottom and waste half the paint! YOU’LL ALL END UP DIVORCED OVER TOOTHPASTE!!”

Love this. Great use of executive order. All dentists must be 5’9”. All baristas have to read “The Dead Zone.” You can’t get a fishing license if your name is Gregg.

But surely the master race would not be so shit with computers

People ask why I love Survivor and it’s for moments like this. Humanity exists and thrives in the spaces between the inane rules we follow in every day society.

So i’m having an Autistic meltdown kind of day, and Since this is #AutismAcceptanceMonth, i’m posting through it 🤦🏻‍♀️ with y’alls help. Here’s a clip from #Survivor showing a contestant, Eva, having a #meltdown, and being talked through it. When the clip begins, she’s in the thick of it. Watch Joe:

Holy shit. “I confess that I’ve been inadequate. That the Democrats have been responsible for allowing the rise of this demagogue.” Gives an impassioned apology and points to this as a moment of personal vow to action.

it’s all so stupid but jesus christ the matrix lol

There’s this muppet on TikTok who transcribes and then scats incredibly difficult jazz solos so well and I could not possibly love a thing more

Every disabled person on federal disability insurance (SSDI) has to apply for Medicaid to get any healthcare coverage for prenatal, birthing, or postnatal care Medicare does not cover any part of pregnancy Never, never, never allow them to go unchallenged with, “it’s about the babies” again Ever.
