it's awfully convenient that the musical performer with the stage name "Madonna" had a hit song called "Like a Virgin"

WASHINGTON (AP) — Canada has lost its measles elimination status because of continued spread, international health experts say.

We didn’t need all these biographical Willy Wonka movies about who he is as a person. In the older versions, he’s obviously God or the Devil. You’re supposed to spend the entire story wondering which one and gradually become worried they’re the same being

I have no idea what this was replying to but lol

these mass protests throughout the US will be funneled back into support for the Democrats, who will then do nothing that the protestors want them to do. they will also burn out the people who actually want things to change; reducing their capacity for their actual goals

cat got her head stuck in a tissue box!!

Reminder that this ceasefire and hostage exchange offer was on the table from the very beginning, so what excuse could possibly be given for the two years of horrors before it was accepted?

it's funny that Malcolm Gladwell was on Epstein's flight list. it's even funnier that he claims he didn't know what was going on, and that that actually seems plausible

I hate to break this to people, but his reading of One Piece is actually correct

shout out to the guy on the bike who yelled "ow, my taint" when he rode past me. hope your taint is doing better now, bud

there are three countries which provide models for what the eventual independent Palestinian state will probably look like: Iran and Yemen (geographically close allies) North Korea (another consistent ally with a state that formed in extremely similar circumstances)

there's an argument that the US was not a right-wing dictatorship for the few days between the end of the Civil War and Lincoln's assassination. I don't think it's a particularly strong argument. I also think that's the only point in US history for which that argument could be made.

man who looks like brian dennehy at the emergency room with baby yoda stuck up his butthole. he says his daughter left it in the bathtub and he sat on it

If you don’t know history then it doesn’t matter how smart or how thoughtful you are—you will never understand why things are really happening in the present, and you will never be able to see through the most egregious lies permeating your society. You won’t know who you are or what you’re doing.

Sometimes you get high and start waxing idiotic about how The Simpsons is about the journey from Judaism ("Abraham" Simpson) to Hellenism ("Homer" Simpson) and then finally to Christianity ("Bartholomew" Simpson) and then someone tells you to shut the fuck up, and they’re right to do so.

one stone in the hand can kill two birds in the bush

happy birthday to this sweet little lady! to celebrate we are setting up two big jenga towers and letting her crash through them!

calling it now: charlie kirk was assassinated specifically to distract from poland invoking article 4

I hope charlie kirk was killed by a mormon all hopped up on soda

the fundamental problem with Harry Potter -- the problem from which all of its other problems come -- is the same as the fundamental problem with 1984: they are both extremely british in their outlook

the other day I couldn't remember the name of the Paul Simon album Graceland so I referred to it as "the apartheid album"

the difference between bluesky and twitter is the difference between liberalism and fascism: bluesky/liberalism pretends to be nice. the extent to which you think bluesky is better is directly proportional to the value you attribute to this facade.

the blue guys from James Cameron's Avatar someone from Game of Thrones maybe? Walter White Lady Gaga in the meat dress Chappie David Lynch reporting the weather King Cake Baby Gritty

how on earth did anyone watch that Adam Friedland/Ritchie Torres video and come away thinking that it made either of them look good or smart? it's zionist infighting. nothing more.

thinking about the time I wrote "socratic oath" instead of "hippocratic oath" and the idea of hospitals just being places where people go to argue

2025 Political Rising Stars To Keep An Eye On

the US has always been like this; Trump is just making it more obvious. he's consolidating the empire and beginning to treat vassal states like vassal states. the collapse of europe and its settler-colonial descendents will be a good thing for the rest of the world.

the superiority complex that bluesky has with twitter is looking sillier every day

Thinking about the time my friend ate a poutine and puked it up and his dog ate the puke then the dog puked and another smaller dog at THAT puke and then also threw up. And friends, in that third pile of puke, there was one full, unbitten french fry. A magical fry that went on a terrible journey.

Well, I'll be damned. It's royalty free and there's already six, generic manufacturers lined up. newatlas.com/infectious-d...

we as a society need to seriously reconsider the way we think about the countries -- notably Iran, China, and North Korea -- that have historically supported palestine

we in the imperial core have already failed. our responsibility now is to build a movement that will eventually be able to succeed.

Reservoir Dogs is a great movie about dudes just being dudes

is it possible for a population that collectively committed a grave historical crime to meaningfully atone? what would it look like? are there examples of it happening?

i used a ray to shrink a human man down to the size of bean and then i ate him

@prmativapostate.bsky.social I can't quote or reply to your thread quoting me, but I wanted to say, re: the last post: I would take it a step further. we have a responsibility to educate ourselves. we should not be relying on marginalized people to do it for us

this is also true about the things israel says about the palestinian resistance. mass rape, human shields, targeting civilians. every accusation is a confession

hash is the espresso of weed

Harvard hired a researcher to uncover its ties to slavery. He says the results cost him his job: ‘We found too many slaves’

I do not like Green Eggs and Ham. They killed my father, Sam I Am!

We all watched Israel launch an unprovoked assault, it is already on Wikipedia, which prompted Iran to fire missiles in retaliation. There is no ambiguity about who shot first, it was Israel. Canadian PM issues a statement about Israel's right to defend itself.
