One Week Remaining

Everyone who isn’t a corporate media stooge needs to treat Rahm Emanuel considering a run for president with the derision it deserves. What an absolute joke.

"Oxford commas are a sign you write with ai" I will find such a unique way to rip out your spine that they'll make a movie about it

Vaguely sick reading all about ICE all over my old beloved neighborhood/city (but neighborhood especially) while being three states away and feeling helpless

I will repost this forever.

"AI companion" just get a tamagotchi like a normal person

The AWS outage today is a good reminder that there is no "cloud", there's just somebody else's computer.

The crowd did not disperse, an instead started playing Tubthumping by Chumbawamba — I get knocked down, but I get up again.

Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.

notice the general mood of the timeline? how everyone is in a good mood and there’s a lot less misery and dooming? how there’s a lot of “we’re going to beat these assholes”? anyway that’s why these events are important

“When they rob us of art and emotion, that leads us towards the aesthetics of fascism. In this film, all the sets are real, the decor is human-sized, there are painstakingly created miniatures... It’s there to remind us that art is not only necessary, it is urgent. And AI can go fuck itself!”

"I’m gonna tell you fascists You may be surprised The people in this world Are getting organized You’re bound to lose You fascists bound to lose" Woody Guthrie

some people, you can just tell their elementary teachers really liked them and they've been chasing that high ever since

Happy Anita Bryant Humiliation Day

dressing for the job I want

Chicago is a truly great city. The perfect mix of homey and cosmopolitan. We’ve got good home cooking from around the globe, people who don’t just want to be in a city but want to be in their neighborhood in their city, and a vibe that’s both no-nonsense and neighborly. I’d die to defend it.

"The World of the Dark Crystal" documentary (1983, 1 hour) is available for free on Youtube. >> www.catsuka.com/breves/2025-...

Not to be whiny, but I would really like for something good to happen. On a personal level. On a national level. On a global level. One of all three.

BEST BIG CITY IN THE US 9 YEARS IN A ROW. While critics try to paint Chicago as something to fear, the rest of the world knows the truth — this is the best big city in America.

Any trans person who begins their transition today is exhibiting more courage than most people will in their entire lives.

Explain your username: Ren: my name Ragdoll: alliterative version of a loose, inanimate thing resembling a puppet

from a purely economic standpoint, thats a 46% return on investment. literally wasting money by not doing it!!!

It’s boiling in October because you’re using ChatGPT to write your emails, Janice.

Trip status: 4 people 2 beds, 1 bed snoring and farting into oblivion, my bed partner respectfully reading before lights out, and me, Posting. #phoneinbedtime

jokes about the confederacy are always funny, but you gotta think about it in terms of "Supernatural lasted 5x longer than the Confederacy", which is absolutely hysterical

real talk you should be able to pay for public transit with cash still. that's my stance and I'll fight you to the death on it

haha his little cardigan. lil picardi-cardi. picardigan.

CHATGPT: I understand where you're coming from. You worked really hard to get here, and now it's time to enjoy the fruit of your labors. ISILDUR: So I should keep it? Elrond says I shouldn't CHATGPT: The ring is precious. Sometimes friends don't have your best interests at heart. ISILDUR: true

Trusted and beloved mutuals drop links to progressive/lefty news orgs and/or people doing work on the ground in Michigan? Detroit metro a plus! I need my new home in my feed.

Apparently I have chosen to return to bsky while Some Shit is happening to the admins, again? Is this still about banning trans women and/or initiating age verification?

Dear Big Boys, Stop wearing ill-fitting jeans that make you look like a divorcee or a toddler on class picture day and start squeezing into denim that makes you look like a saxophone playing sex god.

is it racist to say human resources

He can get what he wants if he 💀 before July 4th, 2026, god willing

as always, the most accurate summation of modern politics ever created

On a road trip from Detroit to OKC and I'm debating my willingness to risk a shart in this car or to request a stop 💩

Have I told this part of the Internet that my dad pulled a Yesterday (2019) on me when I was very small? Would recite Beatles songs from memory and claim to have come up with them himself lol

"please rate your package delivery" i mean ill click the smiley face because i assume it impacts the poor bastard who delivered it but i must impress upon you that forcing both him and i into this situation is an act of utter inhumanity and furthermore that god frowns upon your deeds

Just triple checking - are we entirely positive this isn't hell?

Discovering computer as an adult makes you go crazy. Discovering computer as a baby makes you go crazy. In all of human history, there will only ever be one generation to discover computer at the correct age: 13

(scrolling through job postings for 20 minutes) Maybe this doesn't matter. Maybe nothing matters at all. Maybe the industrial revolution was a mistake

I would pay an exorbitant fee to watch JB Pritzker beat Ted Cruz’s ass.

Happy Labor Day, comrades 🫡

I wish I believed that what happens on Bluesky ever makes it through the White House information filter, because I really would like him to get the full Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come "they're having a party about how dead you are" experience just to find out once and for all if that really works

Please let this be the last one it would be so funny

Much like "crab", industrial music is constantly re-evolving from first principles basically anywhere where there's a bunch of metal and plastic laying about

Clots 'n' prayers

What a weird time to be getting out of Chicago - I want to be like "IT'S NOT BECAUSE OF THE CRIME I LOVE THIS CITY WITH MY WHOLE HEART"
