“The cause of autism is The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. Some people say it is and some people might not think it is, but we feel very strongly that that is the case. We have some incredible people, who by the way just started working on the new ballroom for the White House if you can believe it.”

Yes! When Horace coined "carpe diem" he didn't mean it how we use it. Carpe isn't just seize, but "pluck, enjoy, make use of" and he was telling people to get the most enjoyment out of every day. Didn't take long to suck the joy out of it to make it about work productivity and extreme sports. Uggh.

i love posting garbage like “i’m at the big tesco, anyone want anything” because i still wholeheartedly believe in social media being used for whimsy and fun rather than doomscrolling, ragebait, clout chasing and Brands speaking of which, i’m at the big tesco, anyone want anything

Disabled people aren’t “less than”. It’s not a moral failing. Most people will experience disability at some point. It’s a minority group you can join at any time. We need more accessibility, inclusion, accommodation and compassion. There’s no social justice without disability justice.

Lmao anything can be a stat if you just make up your own numbers. "This demonization is inspiring violence across the country. Our ICE officers are facing a more than 1000% increase in assaults against them"

I am not a Hannah Arendt stan, but she nailed this one: 'Under such circumstances… the Palestinian Jews would degenerate into one of those small warrior tribes about whose possibilities and importance history has amply informed us since the days of Sparta.'

Christian persecution in America is best defined by this image: No actual struggle, wearing clothes that cost more than my entire wardrobe, polished cross instead of rugged, and surrounded by crowds of fellow hypocrites cheering on bigotry who believe they're the victims.

I do think MAGA managed to make the Kirk assassination their 9/11 Not in the sense they wanted, but in the sense that they took their brief window of public sympathy and strip-mined it so totally that everyone hates them even more, now

I'm autistic and just want to say both RFK Jr. and Donald Trump can go fuck themselves. Autism is beautiful and is one of the reasons I'm yes, who I am. Meanwhile, RFK Jr. ate raw meat and got himself a parasite 😭 😭

You look at every culture that's ever existed and the running theme is everyone pretty much just wants to play/dance to music, make art, eat stewed meat wrapped in flat bread, and tell stories about the shapes we find in the stars. Somehow we turned that into wars and overtime and profit margins.

Bad news: my long-time heart-shaped padlock Day Collar has given up the ghost (padlock won't relock, the loops on the chain it goes through just snapped). Good news: I found a really cute replacement on Etsy, although it's coming from the States so it's going to take longer to get here.

McCarthy was not condemned and censured because he poisoned US political discourse with allegations of communism. It was because he messed with the Army and called THEM communists. The poison remained in US politics long after he had been discredited.

Man… if they take me apart at the neck one day, y’all gotta make sure my memorial video gets more that 26,000 views. Idc how, like, even if you just put some greatest hits in there, like when we won PUBG the first time or that time I stunted on Jaden Smith without realizing it.

Prostate cancer surgery has a lower success rate than this so I suppose from the Economist's POV we're a-OK to start banning prostate cancer surgeries.

a nice thing about my life is that if i were killed in public i'm fully confident my wife would not film herself by my casket as a teaser to spin up her influencer career & people who actually know me would not immediately brush a question about me aside to discuss their bathroom remodel project.

there is no joke i can make mean-spirited enough to compare to the level of disrespect that the entire right-wing has shown charlie kirk by picking over his corpse, from the moment he became a corpse, to bolster their delusions of relevancy and importance it's telling about what the right-wing is

Recognition of Palestine is Not Enough, Sanctions Must Follow to Stop the Genocide. Read our full statement on Australian recognition of Palestine at: www.jewishcouncil.com.au/2025/09/jewi...

This shouldn't happen to anyone. No-one should have to go through this. We have a government that has repeated their delusional sing-song bullshit for three years and it's still happening.

@albomp.bsky.social Elderly people are treated very poorly by government. Both major parties. No way can many afford $50 an hour. Full-time careers that are family members only get $1,000 a fortnight careers allowance & do better job 24/7. Fix it, not make it worse www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

Note how we’ve moved from concerns about people arriving irregularly in small boats to wrecking the lives of people who are by definition here entirely lawfully

fun fact: far from being some serious publication for conservative academics, the Economist was explicitly founded as a propaganda rag to argue against reforms that might've saved millions of Irish people from starving to death during the Hunger it is an ass rag for capitalist genocide launderers

I don’t think anyone left of Pinochet said anything as savage about Kirk as referring to his funeral as “a time of whatever.”

Food aversion is not cultural. It’s a neurobiological process. It’s an evolutionary advantage for your body to become repulsed and or averse to eating something that might be unsafe. People with pronounced food aversion responses have more difficulty tuning out those signals.

OH, so Charlie Kirk was the surrogate son for a bunch of elderly conservative weirdos whose adult children have gone no-contact for whatever reason. This explains everything

On X I have been posting a lot about suspected money laundering of illicit donations to Farage/Reform. As you might imagine I get much abuse. I'm going to cross post important stuff to here too, with my flag rating system for degrees of corruption. (See pinned tweet) 🚩 🚩🚩 🚩🚩🚩

Subtly downgrade a band. Reincarnated

I'm tired of being told we are all doomed when I see cultural awakening all around me. Custodians are returning to thier waters. Entire families are camped out on thier Lands, far away from media view The Sovereigns are waging a quiet war on colonisation. Always Was, Always will be Aboriginal Land.

my favorite subgenre of Halloween decoration is “skeleton of things that absolutely do not have skeletons”

The first autism diagnosis was in 1943 Tylenol became widespread in 1955 Do the math Also, not that I NEED to say it or anything, but if you're giving a eulogy, maybe focus on the guy who fucking died and instead of jerking yourself off

Trump: "I hate my opponents and I don't want the best for them" So glad all his supporters have spent the past week talking about how the left are so uncivil. So glad all the shitty centrists of the world have spent the past week saying the left needs to reach out and be kind.

Babe I had 35k followers at peak and once Elon tweaked the algorithm I got like 15 likes a post max

FUCK CENSORSHIP, FREE ARTISTS

There are two apocalyptic fantasies I see floating around these days. One is about rugged individualism and destruction of social responsibility. The other, which I vastly prefer, is about community care.

Folks: i'm still looking for work. I have a tentative thing that is supposed to start at the end of this month, but we are definitely going to need help with October rent (about USD $1250). I know everyone's life sucks right now and i'm SO tired of having to ask. But if you can help, please do:

log on, see misinformation, see prominent chicago left account posting "Actually asking 'Source?' is offensive and rude" and I just.... honey-pumpkin, we are in this entire situation BECAUSE people stopped caring about sources. your comrades asking for sources on big news events are not your enemy

Give a for-profit company one job, one must-do, and it will eventually get slack and/or greedy and fail to do it properly.

lmao nazis just tripping over themselves to out themselves as nazis and the ABC happy to give them a soft launch.

Only 1 person in the whole study went from identifying as trans to not identifying as trans. The 1/5 number came from youth going between the binary and non-binary spectrum. This headline and post are misleading on purpose to fit the economist's editorial bent on the political issue.

Strands #568 “Find an opening” 🔵🔵🔵🔵 🔵🔵🟡

Every modern American President has committed war crimes. The only change here is that the courts are openly signing off on that board pattern.

Erika Kirk, the griefting widow. I wonder how she really feels about all this elaborate performance to turn her late husband into some kind of martyr for the Right. Does she feel liberated she no longer has to play at being the doting wife?

I have been saying this for 3 years now; it is evident from even a theorerical understanding of these systems' operations. But ppl keep claiming it's not true or not important, or could be patched over, & so I keep hoping each time an "AI" company CEO comes out & admits will be the one that sticks

It’s going to happen someday and people are going to celebrate and anybody who wants to scold that celebration had best be prepared to fight.

This isn't even a new thing. I've known women who's husbands "came out" as Republicans since the 90s. What's gross is the families of the guys that keep up the charade so they can get their sons married A lot of ppl believe their daughter-in-law can be persuaded to change her beliefs.

Yeah, holy shit. I just checked, mine and @shaxbert.bsky.social 's comments calling them out- which have 2.6k and 1.6k likes respectively, are just fucking GONE. Can't even find them by scrolling down anymore, they straight up 'hid' them. Fucking cowards. bsky.app/profile/did:...

Tell someone you love them and that they're worth it They might need to hear that more than anything else

anyone have leads on resources for trans folks (esp youth, esp mental health/crisis support) specifically in or near Syracuse, NY? asking for my stepmom who is helping a friend mobilize a brigade of support for a struggling grandkid
