I think a solid 33.33% of the reason I don't use this site much is because it's mostly just people aggressively trying to make it "their" site, 33.33% because people here basically bully anybody that doesn't add alt text to their images, and 33.33% because nothing actually seems to happen here.

Using my telescope to watch Tau Ceti while me and @dianaestrella.bsky.social read Project Hail Mary! I think i can see Ryland and Rocky...

You're going to see a lot of "he's a violent antifascist leftist" and "he's a groyper" but the core of Tyler Robinson's motivation is almost certainly that he's an online-poisoned idiot gamer.

Honestly it seems to me that one of the most important tasks for modern parents is raising their kids to be mostly offline normies

I never cease to be amazed at how Stephen Miller just always looks AND sounds like a pouting man-baby about to throw a crying tantrum, even when he's not upset about something. Just the whiniest guy I've ever seen

average person online: have you seen what the race scientist said about him average new yorker: omg its zohran mamdani

i love holding real news in my hands

The refusal among certain high profile elite Dems to endorse Mamdani now and basically preemptively cut attack ads for his independent/ conservative opponents is funny whenever u consider how mad they get when a progressive or Muslim voter won’t endorse a Dem because of the genocide thing

Not to sound like an asshole, but every time there's some massive story people claim isn't being covered, I open up the news and, with shocking regularity, sure enough there it is.

Today's front page.

THE AMERICAN CENTURY IS OVER THE ILLINOIS CENTURY IS JUST BEGINNING

Speaking as an american, fuck us up canada

Chuck Schumer negotiating

At least they're finally admitting they don't know how to drive. Schumer and all establishment neoliberal politicians have no idea how to meet this moment. Their toolset are moderately worded speeches and donation emails. You can't defeat fascism with sound bytes

Really enjoying this classic Sesame Street segment, two minutes of freestyle jazz riffing on saxophone factory footage

There wasn't one. It's been a slow creep of line-goes-up cunts brainwashing you for 50 years.

a heuristic that has never failed me once is anyone who uses the phrase “common sense” is most certainly dumb as a box of rocks and quite probably my enemy

Devastating, they'll never recover

We would welcome Canadian forces as liberators

Option 2 is Balkanization and I will be a loyal mercenary of the Pritzker Khanate. With the wealth gathered in the fury of war, I shall reforge Aurora into a new Urbino.

I can't even tell you how surreal this all is... it feels like if I looked out the window there would be a crashed airplane full of bearer bonds in my yard, and a small army of supermodels professing their eternal love for me on the front porch

On the one hand, accelerationism or whatever is bad etc etc. On the other hand... lol

The average creator on OnlyFans makes $108 a month. The owner of OnlyFans made $472 million in 2023. The entire sexist ecosystem of vilifying OF models is to distract you from the actual people who exploit you

I've rarely been as proud as the day I heard my daughter say "fuck Mr. Beast."

Terror won the war on terror so hard every American over 55 spends 23 hours a day watching Fox go Radio Rwanda against their own kids and neighbors and every American under 25 follows 875,973 political extremists on social media.

The Train Scene Gather 'round while I tell you about the only scene in Atlas Shrugged that is actually good PLEASE STAY WITH ME HERE this is NOT a pro-Rand post it is the OPPOSITE just trust me bro come with me on this journey 🧵

i love holding real news in my hands

So classified documents going back into the Mar a Lago toilet?

No one has ever fumbled the bag harder than the app that had a monopoly on the video conferencing and then got cooked by Zoom during the pandemic. In 2019, Skype had 300 million active monthly users.

Canada has an incredible opportunity to brain-drain the United States.

A few days ago, some guy in my local area annihilated his entire family (wife and all 3 daughters) and then himself. It was literally 3 trailers down from my mom's place. Weird seeing the place in person...

I decided to talk about the weird spiralling of Elon this past week: picking fights with astronauts, and stating the ISS needs de-orbiting ASAP. I also discuss the implications of all this on SpaceX, the West's efforts to return to the Moon and go to Mars, and a whole lot more. youtu.be/eZb9ShrZHrQ

aint no way we cut medicaid and housing assistance so jeff bezos could buy this shirt

Just a reminder that at @accessnow.org we just published a brief on satellite internet connectivity warning about... well, this. We will discuss this topic further at an upcoming session at @rightscon.org CC @lawyerpants.bsky.social www.accessnow.org/wp-content/u...

Bluesky really is the website for reply guys who respond with some shade of "um, I think you're forgetting about some things 😏" when you literally, specifically use the word "most".

Begging people online to understand the American left is basically pretend and we have to work within that framework.

America's flagship, once known as the fastest ocean liner in the world, is being sent to sink to the bottom of the Gulf (of Mexico) after being stripped for parts during the Reagan era and then moldering in a dock for 30 years. I'm sure that's not a metaphor for anything.

Thank you sir, excellent point.

Normies, righties and lefties: "Oh my god what is it with all these plane crashes, it must be a conspiracy/DEI/DOGE" Me with my big brain who constantly watches pilot channels and keeps up with aviation news and accidents: "You fools, you rubes, you absolute dumbasses"

Every day the Trump Administration is like "the nation has three days to excise the dark aura of Pnecky" and nobody knows what it means but we lock trans people in a well just to make sure the malevolent ones don't take our crops Then they take our crops anyway

if you were accidentally fired while transporting a nuclear warhead and currently need a place to stay with said warhead please know that i have a sizable backyard and an abiding desire to be a nuclear power
