The universal hold music for all corporations should be "Hold the Line" by Toto

There is a small subgroup of men who simultaneously think you should sack the England manager if one tactical decision doesn't result in winning the World Cup but also forgive anything a centrist politician does, even if it results in them plunging in the polls. Or wrecking lives.

A real thing: I've traveled to 32 countries, often as a solo femme, and I've never encountered real hostility for being an American. Behave yourself when you travel & you'll generally be fine. That said, within the US - my own country! - I have encountered real hostility for having an Asian face.

I think I was following this person from a list someone shared the other week for updates on trans issues in the UK. I can see a few people following them and assume it’s a similar case. Advise against continuing to do so.

We're so afraid someone who doesn't "deserve it" will buy a steak or a lobster tail, we're starving children, grandmothers, and sick people. It's so disgusting.

really funny for MAGA chuds to be soiling themselves over “historical” accuracy when any attempt to faithfully adapt The Odyssey would result in some sort of demented Twin Peaks Season 3-esque art film that would go on for 10 hours

Batman fans who hounded Nolan about Batman actually knew a lot about Batman. The people yelling about the Odyssey think it's about Hercules entering an arm wrestling match to win a night with Helen, Queen of Rome.

friend just accidentally called the DSM-V the DS9

This is abusive, arbitrary, malicious How can we with good conscience ask the people being mistreated today to ever again engage with the immigration in good faith? What would we need to do? Is it even possible? What reparation would make this right?

The Dune movies need to start having Ancient Greece flashbacks making it explicit that Paul Atriedes is a direct descendant of Agamemnon

GRANDALORIAN AND MOGU

Spoilers for the fall of the house of Atreus I guess

the lecret sife of malter witty

everybody buckle up for the sentence "very few engineers working today fully understand the systems" to become more true for the rest of our lives than anyone can imagine yet

That modern men" will make every effort to look like soviet propaganda posters, including home cosmetic surgery, but they will fold like a wet napkin and the idea of having to actually work like the men on soviet propaganda posters

It is astounding that people still don't know how patriarchy in America works The entire identity of patriarchal minded men exists solely in esthetics and pleasing other men So how are we shocked

Historically accurate Odysseus is steering the ship from the foredeck with a ship's wheel that wasn't invented until the 1700s

mitch mcconnell died doing what he loved, keeping a federal office vacant for several months leading into an election

Still have to laugh at the realism of the trillionaire’s med pod in Prometheus, which they state is so advanced that only 12 were ever made, being calibrated only for men and having no setting for ex: cesarean or abortion.

JIMOTHY IS IN ROKU CITY

hey sorry i was weird earlier that's just who i am as a person

I dunno man I just think you can be a real communist without stanning dictators or doing super cringe dressup

Noticed a bunch of (non-Chinese) US leftists having a normal one calling this poster racist. Whatever, do not involve me in your US political party discourse, but this guy is literally doing Mao cosplay in THE Zhongshan suit Communist Party Mao fit, lmao a whole new level of tankie weeb just dropped

As always the responsibility lies with people incorporating LLMs into running systems what those running systems wind up doing

Just a reminder. You are not responsible for other people's happiness here. If you don't like what someone posts, you have options to curate your timeline. It's not hard.

‘Pink Panther’ saxophonist Plas Johnson dies at 94

There are almost 2 white food stamp recipients for every 1 Black one. But white voters in the US vote to reduce and eliminate food assistance, in large part because they view it as a Black benefit.🤦🏿‍♂️ White survey participants are more likely to oppose SNAP the more racist they are.🤡

Zohran Mamdani represents 6 times more Americans than Susan Collins, for example

JT Realmuto with the dumbest baserunning move of the season

Zionism is AIPAC being primarily funded by not Jews. Which is funny because people talk about Israel having control when the money isn’t from Israel or even largely from Jews. It’s from Protestant billionaires.

Fuck Israel, fuck Zionists, but fuck both her and you right alongside them.

Btw, everybody yelling at us for no alt text on InfoWars posts: You're right. We're sorry. We've got a whole new setup on the new account for Bluesky specifically and we're trying to navigate it. Apologies again and we're fixing it.

You know that annoying asshole we all hate? Well I have resolved to put screenshots of his posts into your feed every day until the heat death of the universe. Enjoy

This is, and I am not even joking, going to fuck up so many hyperlexic kids. I got accused of plagiarism because I used the word “porous” in a sixth grade paper and that shit sticks with you, if not on the permanent record, then in the childhood.

People who use the word "lynched" in contexts like this need to be sat down and shown photos. Probably from their grandparents's scrapbooks.

yeah, you are wrong and because I know you'll block me, I'm a child survivor of genocide from Guatemala who 100% knows that trans people are going through genocide globally right now. Also, I have recorded plenty of videos on this app and shared lots of selfies. I'm more likely to be real than you.

Y'all will bait yourselves into defending overt antisemitism and racism just because Stancil went "ewwww"

hey I’m just gonna plug my Civic Media book because I wrote a chapter explicitly on who controls archives as part of fascism .. and WELP www.wearecivicmedia.org/book

This is what I thought about the second I saw Kroger-owned-or-adjacente stores were contracting out 3 hours/day of sushi chefs

As someone who worked EBT Fraud for Chase in another life: yeah, the instances of cardholders trying to scam the system was fucking infinitesimal

let it be known that if i ever did a joke that was in poor taste or offensive or otherwise unwise, i fully accept my friends to let me know so i can be accountable and correct my actions.

I’m tired of explaining my situation to people who run in guns blazing assuming I’m making poor choices, or have other options. Just please listen to poor and broke people. We aren’t dumb. We don’t have an easier option we’re ignoring.

The Portland Fire and Portland Thorns have partnered with Treasure AI as the “Official Agentic Experience Platform for Both Teams and Marks One of the First Exclusively Women's Professional Sports AI Partnerships in the United States” I’m sure this will go over well with the Portland fan base

honestly this has been the experience of being a leftist/anti-Zionist Jew in the Democratic Party, which is a continuing process of being told to shut up because I don't know what's good for me

him saying this about a jewish woman who was making fun of israel is kind of breathtaking. it's like he completely lacks the instinct to shut the fuck up

This isn't facile, feel good, toxic positivity stuff. This is how to survive and thrive. As much as possible, relax yourself and rest up. Don't bury your head in the sand, but don't doomscroll. Learn to glance for warning signs of danger, sure, but try to avoid falling into constant hypervigilance.

“When you expose a problem you pose a problem. I have been thinking more about the problem of how you become the problem because you notice a problem. When exposing a problem is to become a problem then the problem you expose is not revealed.” -Sara Ahmed feministkilljoys.com/2014/02/17/t...
