Hey so JUST SO YOU KNOW I run a Mastodon server over on retro.pizza and I don’t care what any investment capital bros think about my moderation.

I'm a single issue voter now, my issue: revenge

Did you know: You can listen to Master of Reality whenever you want and the government can’t stop you

I know this sounds cruel but the cold hard fact is we need to appeal to more voters if we want to win elections. That’s why I argue that we need to dispense with purity politics and accept candidates who want to ban Ezra Klein from receiving medical care.

Bertrand Russell once received letters from Sir Oswald Mosley, the founder of the British Union of Fascists, inviting him to a debate. Russell not only declined but replied quite generally that “nothing fruitful or sincere could ever emerge from association between us.” @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social

best part : Star Trek fonts on government buildings, and the street lights are all little starships!

Bueno alligator needs to become a thing.

Sometimes being a mecha fan is loving a robot that only ever loses but still lives in your heart because you like the mechanical design of it...

Not a joke. Not a drill. The toy that never happened... is happening. themightyorbots.com

By the way, just as my own spiteful cherry on top: You can thank Bill Clinton's telecommunication deregulation for the fact that Nexstar exists and owns most of the local affiliate stations for multiple networks in this country. Remember: Fuck the Clintons.

So much of this past week is the fault of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. If America doesn’t survive this, you can track the end from there.

hey so this is insane

I like him. Make everybody a big mechanical animal.

"Wanna watch anime later? Sure, let me just grab my Ranma 1/2 VHS carrying case"

Do the Youngs know how fucking perfect a movie SNEAKERS is, or is this a TOMBSTONE situation where they have to discover it for themselves

No one writes like Southerners who stayed loyal to the Union 🫡

The media veneration of charlie kirk and insistence that we all become active participants in it serves a few purposes, one of which is providing a pretext to do what news execs have been dying to do since 2020 (fire all their black staff)

Just a now routine little local bit of immiseration.

Love this hotel vending machine with both lube and lego minifigures, it speaks to me

This is the Sonic cartoon my kids have seen, because it was available at the time. I think they’re still upset that the theme song always said they’d find their mom and they never did.

Seeing a pattern where if the media casts the slightest gaze on Bluesky, the mods go after trans people. It may be their only move. It’s got me paying more attention to Mastodon, which has its own issues but is pretty chill.

And liberals would be hemming and hawing about how they may have deserved it. Especially if they were pro-Palestine.

I would like to take this opportunity to remember Melissa Hortman, a serving Democratic politician assasinated by a right-winger.

Catherine Wheel is like if Coldplay was good.

I might have expected this in DC but this was Baltimore.

BeastDrive’s Fickle Step! It’s good.

I don't know what people think is about to happen, but history is pretty clear

I tried to write a darkly humorous joke about this, and burst into tears instead.

Important to remember that everyone involved in renaming the DoD to the Department of War is afraid to take the subway.

The only person in the books who ever used a Palantír correctly was Aragon, who DM'ed Sauron with "I lived, bitch" and then logged off forever King shit

Smell ya later…

Drive you fools!

If ordering the murder of innocent migrants in international waters isn't grounds for impeachment, then Democrats are effectively announcing that Trump cannot be impeached for anything

Even in the brief, horrific video we saw it looked more like a boat carrying human beings than cocaine. Which of course they knew.

1/3 1977’s Microman Magazine Zero Zero is nearly 80 pages of high concept sci-fi art, devoted to life on Microman’s home planet, from fashion to robot pets. It’s a beautiful thing, which shouldn’t exist. It’s hard to imagine a company today making a book so removed from advertising current toys.

I’m sorry, the flyover was to buzz the Epstein survivors’ conference? For fuck sake?

Regular reminder that "pro-natalism" is a post-hoc rationalization for programs intended to force women and LGBTQ people out of public life, to retrench gender and racial hierarchies, and to promote eugenics.

“following rumors of his death donald trump held a press conference announcing extrajudicial killings of civilians and plans for a military invasion of an american city” is a perfectly factual headline that could be used to describe what we saw yesterday

All this nonsense about Cracker Barrel while a real icon was being defaced.

THE GUN IS GOOD THE CHALK IS EVIL

i feel like the lot of the country stopped paying attention after the stories about how they're all just wandering the Mall harmlessly and then lost the thread from there like the oafishness here is truly very funny but also... they're just breaking into an apartment complex???

Apropos of nothing, good song youtu.be/OLkPwxcIji0?...

Leadership Dems: Cars are very expensive and I am very opposition party The most normal regular person in your neighborhood: MAKE IT LEGAL TO KILL NAZIS AND TEAR DOWN PRISON WALLS YOU SPINELESS COWARD FUCKS

Another morning to say that I will not vote for Gavin Newsom when he inevitably runs for president. If you want my vote, you should make sure to nominate someone who isn't a transphobe.

I remember when the Columbine massacre happened and very serious media and political figures deliberately hid the fact that the shooters were neo-Nazis and claimed that they did it because they were bullied (they weren’t) and that they wore black clothes. Just thought I’d mention that
