lolol this is one beer per ticket after markup

Bluesky is broken, post Soviet Mario

Some of this stuff I already knew, but listening to this again reminds me that Cotton Mather got too much credit for smallpox. US vaccination would not exist without the person he enslaved who told him about inoculation.

wait what is the moon

Now I’m just a backwoods small town hyperchicken, but it seems to me that if a company is big enough to existentially threaten the government then you don’t actually have a functioning government anymore.

violently sobbing about the apollo 8 patch from Jim Lovell's family

This is only tangentially related, but I remember going to Versailles and learning they didn't have toilets and that servants shat in stairwells and like Teotihuacan had proper plumbing 300 years prior. But ok.

Maybe if historical dramas showed how disfigured people were from what are now vaccine preventable diseases we'd have fewer anti-vaxxers

I will go to my grave hollering IF YOU TEACH PEOPLE WELL WHILE TREATING THEM WELL THEY CAN LEARN

Everyone comes back on screen slathered in Nutella

hang on, i'm doing some archival research

Love seeing this because it means if the democrats don’t go with the obvious choice here they have to look us all in the eye and say they prefer losing to progress

Realizing that some of my inexplicable sadness about the Artemis II stuff is that it feels like a trans-dimensional communication from an America that took a different path and chose joy instead of fear and hate.

And I have to point this out, this is a myth which hinges on the idea that people in Vietnam and Laos found those particular lives so valuable they’d happily risk all diplomatic and PR gains by secretly holding and torturing them.

If you ever visit Congressional offices you’ll see the “Rambo 2 is real” flag all over and it’s ...really depressing when you know the truth.

i wonder if AOC’s early clashes with the democratic establishment PLUS the unhinged reaction to her from republicans have given her some of the “both sides hate her so she must be Independent” vibe that goes a long way with low propensity voters

Someone should also tell the mayor of Spring Lake park that a MN constitutional amendment would be needed because as it sits, it does not allow for state-wide referendums for things like new flags.

"Moon's haunted"

Highkey that does look like a Death Star from that angle

we'll see how it shakes out over the course of years, but as of right now, mamdani is definitely showing how the future of good progressive governance means "use government to do good things and then post about it" both parts are important!

let me tell you something ... an absence of values will have you looking crazy when you run into people with values

1) we will write down the Law 2) all of the Law 3) we will follow the Law 4) the Law is kind of ambiguous on this point 5) fuck. 6) *long sigh* the fucking mod, man 7) the concept of technical debt will not be invented for millenia but we got it, buddy 8) doodling in margins

people think the talmud is like the protocols of the elders of zion but it's 9,000 pages of "if a donkey kicks a lamp and sets a hay bale on fire, who pays for the hay" in every possible combination of owners of the donkey, lamp, and hay bale

yeah okay

Large posters in the neighborhood around Target Field calling out the Minnesota Twins and it's ownership. "POHLAD FAMILY: WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON?" "Twin Cities WON'T BACK DOWN GET ICE OUT" Minneapolis North Loop, April 2026 chaddavis.photography/sets/ice-in-...

I am crowdfunding an improvised feature film with @vornietom.bsky.social!!! I am so excited I could puke. Everyone in it is the funniest person in the world and the script is great. I can’t believe I get to do this! If everyone on earth donates $1, we could have $8b. What do you say?

Notably, they are against the two things that actually work: work from home and IVF for lesbians.

yet another reason to leave substack (before they make it even harder to leave):

What is going on hair wise here?

They should've sent a poet

non-essential posters please save to drafts. we MUST prioritize moonposting

This is now LIVE!!! Aaah! seedandspark.com/fund/treasur...

The only way to end the sexual abuse of children who are detained and incarcerated is to stop detaining and incarcerating children. There are no "reforms" that end sexual abuse inside.

A reliable metric for a losing war: notice how often a combatant describes inputs (ordinance dropped, resources committed, duration of operation) as a substitute for outputs (effects a military operation is intending to produce).

“verify jerry” they said “ what could go wrong” they said

This is a steaming pile of misleading @startribune.com clickbait. You have to read 15 paragraphs deep to find out the guy’s videos are staged, the "U pisser" is a friend of his, and the only “crime fighting” was relaying a license plate. All involved in this terrible reporting should be embarrassed.

i don't think the NYT intends for their article about that guy to be read credibly but I think they overestimate the American public's ability to interpret dry and arch humor especially in written form. half of us can barely read

Sabrina Carpenter killed another man in her music video today, Gaga & Doechii have a song together for the Devil Wears Prada 2 movie & Jessica Lange is returning to AHS!!!!!!!

love that the astronauts are just floating around in socks. pretty casual office environment

If you can't You don't deserve handle me at my me at my

This image, which claims to show one of the airmen rescued by US special forces from Iran, has racked up millions of views after being shared by some major influencers, and even by Texas Governor Greg Abbott. The image is AI-generated and features multiple errors.

This motherfucker always has an expression on his face like he's explaining how it's actually your fault he clogged your toilet

If it happens today and bsky is down so no one can hear about it, does it really happen?

on my way to steal your girl
