#AlterEgo is a banger of an album! Lisa is always and forever my main bias.

Me: “I don’t put a lot of stock in the book of Revelations.” Also me:

If your path takes you through hell, walk it like it’s your home.

The speed with which corporations are sloughing off their DEI initiatives - like it was some odious thing they couldn’t wait to discard - tells you everything you need to know about the seriousness with which they took DEI in the first place.

In a world full of Elons, be a Keanu.

Day 18.

As we celebrate mediocrity all the boys upstairs want to see / how much you’ll pay for what you used to get for free. #PettyWisdom #FightTheKakistocracy

When small men cast long shadows it means the sun is about to set.

Can’t say I remember any mass casualty airline incidents when Biden was president.

“I wasn’t fired,” said the man who was fired. “I didn’t rape that woman,” said the man who raped that woman. “I’m not doing a Nazi salute,” said the man doing a Nazi salute. “Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them.”

Oh look. He got it from following X.

So President Musk, who owns a social media company, and Vice President Trump, who owns a social media company, will now decide under what conditions China can offer us a social media company. And everyone is okay with this and no one sees any conflicts of interest. Got it. #WelcomeToTheKakistocracy

This was my last gas purchase of the Biden administration. 11 gallons for 30 bucks. That’s more or less what I’ve paid for 4 years running. As a thought experiment I figured I would post these values at “to be determined” intervals to see if the situation gets better or worse.

Trump has been running his campaign like he’s Richard Pryor in Brewster’s Millions trying to spend a billion dollars and have nothing to show for it so he can win an even bigger inheritance. And yet, somehow, he’s a coin flip away from winning.

Me talking to my negativity about the election. Nov 5th isn’t the end. It’s the beginning. Of what? We’ll find out, but no matter what happens we’ll face it together.

Republican talking points in the final week of the campaign:

Any chance we could change the narrative style from “fact checking” to determining whether someone is making a good faith argument or a bad faith argument? That seems like much more useful information for voters than pedantically nitpicking over what’s technically true and what’s technically false.

Trumps ability to lie without consequence is his biggest strength. Instead of calling Trump a liar when he makes stuff up, why not blame age, senility, and mental decline instead? Turn his biggest asset into an anchor around his neck.

Someone ask Trump the question: “What happens when you’re president and Putin says ‘If you agree to look the other way while we nuke Ukraine, I’ll buy a billion dollars worth of DJT stock.’ How will you make that decision when you have to choose between what’s good for you and what’s good for 🇺🇸?”

Looking forward to watching the media stand on the brakes with both feet trying to stop Kamala from pulling away and driving down ratings for news programs. They literally have no incentive to let the race get one-sided. No horserace no money. But let’s all pretend the news will be “fair,” shall we?

Any time I fail a captcha I feel like I’ve let humanity down.

Watching RFK Jr is like watching Brick from Anchorman run for president. “I have a dead worm in my brain.” “I left a dead bear in the park.”

@jamesgunn.bsky.social - PLEASE make this a Peacemaker joke in Season 2!

Why does God hate Buffalo so much?

Hi @hodgman.bsky.social ! My wife and I are really enjoying Medallion Status. We just finished Vacationland. Definitely looking forward to never visiting Maine’s beaches. Anyway, thanks for your continued writings! It’s a very useful benchmark for my own aging process.

I don’t know that a “I got to genocide on my own” parallel development defense is what’s called for here. I was more worried about the genocide. Not the plagiarism. But we are where we are I suppose.

I stand by what I said. 🤣

Nothing weird about this at all, evangelicals. 🧐

The dumbest Senator now says he’ll only oppose military promotions if he disagrees with the politics of the applicant. And the media is covering it like “good for you, Tommy!” Not the least bit chilling. Quit failing, “liberal media.”

It’s only “Artificial Intelligence” if it comes from the “It Would Do What It Wanted To Not What You Tell It To Do” region of France. Otherwise it’s just a “Sparkling Difference Engine.”

At least once a month I find myself thinking “it’s a real kick in the 🥜 that we don’t have Douglas Adams anymore. He’d know what to do.” Days like today make me really appreciate @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com stepping into that gap.

Bluesky is a great place for breaking news on those rare occasions when someone feels like posting something about it.

This is the face I make when I order a Coke and the server asks if Pepsi is okay.

At the intersection of “fuck around” and “find out” we discover…

@mlm1393.bsky.social Welcome to our private chat app!

So…where did we land on GIFs again? Personally I say Bluesky should be strictly ASCIImojis. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

How the MAGA crowd sees Andrew Tate.

If I get to 9 followers that’s all of Bluesky, right?

Reposting this bit of brilliance so I can find it later. You may see me posting spreadsheets here as well for the same reason. 🤦🏼‍♂️ I have the memory of Dory when it comes to digital storage locations.

What are some other things that never happened that we can get the Supreme Court to rule on?
