If Mamdani can get conservatives to respect him *without sacrificing his ideals or promises* then he's far more likely to succeed than if he pisses everyone off. I'll side-eye him if he backtracks on what he ran on, but until then, I'm cautiously optimistic. bsky.app/profile/8bit...

Are you fucking kidding me it’s like we are living in a cartoon

Every time Speedball wrestles, he sells so well that there's online discourse about whether or not he's actually hurt. And last night he sold so well that Shelton Benjamin tried to audible into a slightly earlier finish but the ref didn't hear him and it ended up seeming like a Speedball botch.

So... spells. We're using spells to undo the work we've done... tricking rocks into thinking with lightning. And trapping evil cars in circles of salt. The old ways are new again.

This morning, I learned that Karen O is married to a man called Barnaby, and I don't like anything about it.

Imagine looking around America in 2025 and thinking, "What we need less of is morality."

When my cat Ellie died a few weeks ago, there were about 24 hours when I saw her out of the corner of my eye or heard her meow. My partner had the same thing happen to them. A day later, the experiences stopped. I like to think she was saying goodbye before moving on. bsky.app/profile/gtot...

Transmasc autobiography titled "You've Got Male!"

Listen, I've been making offerings to Pele since I was six years old. She's definitely capricious and prone to anger, but I'm sure everyone has been treating her land with the reverence and respect it deserves, so it should be totally fine. bsky.app/profile/stac...

eBay is fun

Time to bring back this Patricia Lockwood banger.

too real lol

There have been so many improvements to automobile safety over the past few decades, for both passengers and pedestrians, and in the USA it's all been offset (and then some) by these towering trucks and SUVs with front grills twice as high as kids. bsky.app/profile/nota...

It's so funny that wrestling seemingly picked out one dude to watch all the matches and give out canonical star ratings to each one. Perhaps he was cursed to watch and rate every single match every week, no matter what, and it's best to let him complete his task lest the gods pass it along to you.

transness is a gift. i need every trans woman to understand that by nature of their existence they have been blessed with the ability to pluck the strands of fate with their hands if they choose to. it is not always easy and it is not without hardship but every trans woman is capable of greatness.

So, to be clear, if you're brown and leftist, you can't be trusted because you called your father's cousin your aunt when she's actually your cousin once removed. If you're white and conservative, well, listen, the age of consent is really more of a vibes thing these days, and boys will be boys.

"Sir, the Harry Potter license is SO CHEAP right now because Rowling is a monster, we can't afford NOT to put out butterbeer flavored coffee creamer!" "I'm sorry, WHAT flavor?" "Maybe it tastes like butter? Doesn't matter. Incurious 38-year-olds will buy it regardless." bsky.app/profile/flic...

The NYT has throttled huge national news stories by burying coverage on A-13, burned and buried more chances to say the truth about Trump than anyone even knew existed, has been a huge driver of American institutional transphobia, and also does not meaningfully cover NYC anymore. What’s the point?

Toni Storm's makeup has become more and more clown-like since dropping her title, she was heel on commentary last week, she's getting more violent, and she was forced to tap out to try and save her wife's life at Blood & Guts. She's becoming The Joker. #AEW

I know what Canadian Tire Money is and I think that should be enough for Canada to let me move there someday.

Well that was an all-timer Dynamite. Every match was epic. So many interwoven stories. AEW is better than it's ever been in 2025 and it's not even close. 🤼

I went to Emerson College, a queer art school, and as part of the honors program (which gave me a steep tuition discount) I was REQUIRED to take evopsych. I have to wonder if this is why. It was the worst class I've ever taken. Just total trash from start to finish. bsky.app/profile/pope...

I find it fascinating that 3D printing is on its way to being revolutionary while AI is a dead end, yet I only ever really hear about 3D printing from hobbyists while AI is pushed everywhere. I guess it's because 3D printing requires actually making things and doesn't scale well for infinite growth.

Don't forget: if every American commits to tying just ONE (1) helium balloon to the side of Chuck Schumer's house like in Up, he'll get to go have a South American dog adventure for the next year or two while the rest of us can get back to fighting Trump.

Newsom is a bad person and I’ll leave that bubble empty before I vote for him, but if he spends all day on tv tomorrow calling Schumer a coward and it normalizes the call to primary him among lowish information democrats, godspeed.

It really does seem like there's a decent chance that these senators screwed us because they don't want their personal Thanksgiving plans to be disrupted.

If Arson Steve douses my house in gasoline and lights it on fire, I'm going to be quite mad at him! But in the moment, I'm going to be a hell of a lot madder at the firefighter standing in front of his truck refusing to get the hoses out because it's late and he's eepy. bsky.app/profile/goli...

Trump: I'm dismantling the Constitution, building a paramilitary fascist army loyal only to me, demolishing the White House, and blowing up the US economy for my billionaire cronies Schumer: Okay, but you have to extend subsidies for corporate health care Trump: No Schumer: Okay

Rumors will end up having a longer cultural legacy than any Beatles or Stones album. It still feels so fresh and alive fifty years later. It is both impeccably produced and about to shatter into pieces with raw emotion. bsky.app/profile/plea...

Shutdown's gonna end when two airplanes crash over a city due to exhausted unpaid air traffic controllers and then Schumer will cave on everything in the name of "unity." Or maybe he'll just cave on everything because it's a day that ends in Y.

This is incredibly important: we must frame tonight as a resounding victory — an electoral landslide, a mandate from the universe itself and as a repudiation of MAGA, of Trump, and of vichy democrats we must be relentless, we must not shut up

Dems have spent my whole life trying to stop anyone with these politics and this message from getting anywhere because they knew what it would do for public morale and political engagement. Their job was to suppress both.

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

The biggest public embarrassment for a Cuomo since "Beverly Hills" was released as a single.

There's a lesson here: on the ballot, this question had a little grid showing that your taxes went up by $0 a year if you made under a certain (very high) salary and a few hundred bucks if you were above it. I think that helped people realize just whose taxes would go up. bsky.app/profile/apne...

In retrospect, maybe the party that controls all three branches of government shouldn't have kept the government shut down for an entire month leading up to the election with no end in sight. Live and learn!

Listening to the new Behind the Bastards with Sarah Marshall guesting and she just called Peter Thiel "A Handful" like he's an obnoxious neighbor child. Died laughing.

Today is an absolute rebuke of anti-transgender politics, and a real sign that the anti-trans panic is fading. From VA Gov to Loudoun County to New Jersey to New York City and Pennsylvania, anti-trans Republicans are falling left and right.

As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed. The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.

Zohran at the rally for trans youth on february 8 ❣️ he was polling single digits.

Look while the US still sucks shit and terrible things will continue to happen Tonight proves why the whole Trump Reich fascist takeover is, and will, fail Most people don't want it, they haven't actually secured enough power to force it, and citizens are pissed off and fired up

What they don't teach you in school is that every emotion you have ever suppressed is still trapped inside you, feeding on your soul. The only way to free yourself is to let yourself feel them, even if it's years later, which requires a lot of vulnerability and effort.

So, which reactionary centrist columnist is going to have the first hagiographical column for Dick Cheney lamenting how nobody does politics right anymore and everyone should be more like him?

every week trump admin pulls out some new freak and is like "Here's Charles Pepperoni hes in charge of the navy now" and then Charles Pepperoni is like "we use virgins' fingernails instead of dollars now"

every star trek episode is titled Ere Fire Down From Olympus Came and every plot is "what if a comet had a milf on it"

why they make gummy covid

Electoral politics won't save us, but every town and city in this country has their own little wannabe Lauren Boebert or Joe Arpaio and taking a few minutes out of your day once a year to make them incredibly sad is an important part of our societal duty.
