This image led to me discovering that Orson was voiced by Gregg Berger. ME GRIMLOCK LITTLE PIGGIE. (also there are 5 pairs of horse legs coming off the letters, and somehow that's disturbing to me)

I’m trying to distract you from a crime for which the punishment would be jail time and I’m going to distract you by doing a crime which demands the mandatory punishment of hanging

"History will judge-" let me stop you right fucking there, history doesn't do fucking shit, I'm a historian, let's be clear here: elected officials need to do their fucking jobs, right now, before it happens, or future historians will judge THEM. Everyone knows and knew who Trump was.

Another day, another realization that we could save the world if we pushed like 73 people into a volcano.

In Korea, when the president declared martial law after midnight and erected barricades in Seoul, congressional reps from all parties ran into the streets, yanked ak47s from the army at the barricades, broke down the locked door to Congress, repealed the martial law order, and arrested the president

1) yes, that’s correct—likely related to the fact that for nearly all of us, openly expressing “appropriate alarm” will actually not help anything and possibly harm ourself or others 2) boomers marinated in this sensation for 50 straight years which explains a lot of our leaders’ pathologies

"What can Democrats do?" When the South Korean president attempted to declare martial law, South Korean lawmakers literally fought through tanks and military forces and climbed fences to get into their Parliament building to stop him. So, you know, that.

During this incredible, unifying moment of inspiring international cooperation and spectacular technological achievement, I would really appreciate it if the US president would stop threatening to murder an entire country with bombs.

Arby’s Jungle Zoids were a Beast Wars style line from 1996. I’d never heard of them until @adam16bit.bsky.social discovered them last week. I like the stylized beast modes and the bright colors. The Trogdor arms on most of them aren’t good, but they’re charming. #Transformers #BeastWars #Arbys

underrated part of his chart is that it lists Polymarket and Dave Portnoy as politically neutral

The two truths: 1) There is nothing wrong with porn, let people safely make it, let people safely enjoy it. 2) If you let people define porn as bad, authoritarians will ALWAYS expand the definition until their hands are around your neck.

I will bet cash money that at least half of these people who never read prologues or epilogues because it's "not part of the story" stay put after watching a movie so they won't miss an after-credits scene.

If you really want a hot take from me this morning it’s this: stop being so willing to accept this as the end of the world. The people out here apocalypsemaxxing or whatever they’re calling it are actively benefiting from your willingness to let them paint what is happening as inevitable.

We all understand "inheritance" in this case is Christian white male superiority, right? He's saying the children of immigrants will create a more equitable country, and this is bad because he's a bigot. He sure as hell doesn't mean monetary inheritance, because virtually no one has that anymore.

It's so funny that CEOs got tricked into pushing the "make everyone unemployed"-button in front of everyone and then the button did nothing but we all saw it

People who delight in telling you you'll be sent to the camps if you don't embrace their shitty diet fascist candidate are essentially just husks possessed by the sentiment "you think you're better than me??"

Everybody talking about Artemis and Moon is de facto Beast Wars II erasure.

I feel like this was intentional but they're going to try the "we typed it into Google, but the safesearch was on" defense anyway.

I’ve been informed that when pulling into a handicap spot, it isn’t necessary to yell “IT’S MY HOLE! IT WAS MADE FOR ME!!”

As if this wind-up cheeseburger wasn’t cool enough, he’s got a Rite Aid sticker on his bottom with the date “9/9/86”😎

At this point, simply enforcing existing laws would be indistinguishable from a political purge, and we need to do it. Section 3 of the 14th Amendment alone could clear out Trump's entire cabinet and most Republicans in Congress.

It me It me right now

Any time I hear MJF bellow out an “Oh Shit!” I know that is opponent is doing some of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. I really enjoy that in ring chatter. #AEW

Many More Should Have Also Been Prosecuted….

Thinking about the time a dude in the group chat went on a big speech about how he's too smart and clever to fall for mental tricks, that sort of thing wouldn't work on him, he's built better, etc. "Cool," I said. "Counterpoint: someBODY..." He called me an asshole and left the chat.

It's like watching an 80 year old man give a 4th grade book report.

Yesterday was April Fool's, the first night of Passover, and Dynamite. I'm honestly a bit disappointed that the third didn't do something with the first two. 😄 #AEW

Do you know "THE DOW" is only 30 companies? It has been since 1896, when that made some kind of sense. All they do is swap in new big companies sometimes. The great and powerful oracular Dow Jones "Industrial Average!" 30 companies! Finance, man.

Oh so now copyright matters.

All I want is a chance to prove $163 million wouldn’t turn me into a bad person

moby-dick, his eyes enormous: from hell's heart you STAB at moby? for hate's sake you spit your last BREATH at moby? oh! oh! the great shroud of the sea for ahab! the great shroud of the sea rolling on as it rolled five thousand years ago!!!!

Erasing true feminist scholarship in search engines and AI blocking it with white supremacist misogynist drivel.

Thinking about this tweet

Running this back for the morning crowd.

Me: Forbidden knowledge shall be mine! Me, five minutes later: Some knowledge should stay forbidden. Oh god. Why did I seek it. When do I stop tasting it.

Welcome to Autism Acceptance Month and all that entails

Old people yelling at young people that they aren't using new technology fast enough. Young people yelling at old people that sex is dirty and sinful. Whole fucking world's on shuffle.

This, from @jensorensen.bsky.social so much this 👇

It’s felt like a April Fool’s Year when you really think about it

I'm heading to the Williamsburg VA area soon. Aside from the obvious historical stuff and Busch Gardens, any recommendations on nerdy sights I should see? Cool shops, weird museums, unexpected landmarks, etc.

The only good April Fools joke was when a library posted a headline saying “Study Shows Literacy Problems BC People Reply To Articles They Didn’t Read” When you clicked the link “lol April Fools there is no article. Tell no one” Then people who had not clicked the link argued about literacy all day.

Oh no, heavens, random person who despises hate but has pre-judged hundreds of thousands of people for using the block feature in the intended manner! Truly you have laid bare the evil in my soul! How shall I ever recover?

The Supreme Court did not strike down conversion therapy bans today. Not nationwide. Not in Colorado. Not anywhere. Here's what actually happened in Chiles v. Salazar—and why the coverage you're seeing serves the conservative legal movement more than it serves you.

It's coming. 😱🐰

Apparently my 8yo is fully committing to so many things she likes being Korean. She's currently researching colleges in Seoul. As her parent, this is both lovely and terrifying. I'm not sure which emotion is winning.

When you know your loved ones are behind you and you let one rip anyway and are not at all concerned about their suffering.
