Capitalists: Well u see under communism there's only one kind of French fries and they're in a big white bag that just says "FRENCH FRY" and also they don't taste good and what they're made of is barely even potato Also capitalists:

It's the end of the world, yes, but I do want to report that we've reached the point in spring when asparagus gets really cheap, and that's nice. Enjoy that.

Note to whoever: If you're a big media organization, you actually should have the thought going through your head which is "what will those weirdos on bluesky think this looks like?" But what might not be obvious yet is we just want things to look like what they are. It's easy, actually!

Folks, I think we need to concede that protectionist policies for the US auto industry hide a dire and crippling problem that they have - they are not competitive at all in emerging technologies. The solution is not to coddle them either. I am from Michigan, it hurts to say that a little, but...

One of these political leaders has been repeatedly portrayed as an untrustworthy radical hostile to others because of his religious beliefs. You’’ll never guess which one!

If there’s an after this, America can’t be a significant part of it. There’s no coming back from this. I wish them social recovery for the good of the people who didn’t vote for him, but they can’t be trusted with any kind of world-leading anything now.

Good Friday. Time to remember a man who died and returned days later to save us all.

Birmingham. There is exactly one city on the South where you cannot get a good meal.

On a completely unrelated note, check out this graph.

When your mom says you already have Jay and Silent Bob at home.

Managing to lose wars that we already lost decades ago.

I hate every bot I see. From gpa to gpt

I used to write the WaPo editorials on US-Africa policy, as well on as human rights and politics on the continent. To describe hundreds of thousands of deaths on the continent as “messy” is an absolute abomination.

U.S. foreign policy:

I feel like “the world passed peak gas-powered car sales in 2017” is not a widely known fact

Instead of a new Harry Potter, they should do a Redwall series--BUT--live action with everyone in full-body, completely face-obscuring mouse costumes like Eastern European avant garde theatre.

How's that air superiority working out for ya, Yanks?

good thing Google is letting AI rewrite story headlines to "improve" them, that definitely won't compound with this existing problem

Can’t believe they renamed it the Department of War only to immediately go 0-1 in wars

The time has come for us, as an organisation, to boycott @pinknews.bsky.social. Despite reservations about the company, we have sometimes worked with queer and trans reporters there to tell stories we thought were important for our community - the same as other outlets. That ends today. Why?

You want to know what it would look like if Mamdani were bad at being Mamdani?

Going over this like Flanders trying to poke a hole in Homer's proof of the nonexistence of God.

It must suck for guys like Victor Wembyenyama, who, to practice their trade at the highest level, have to live in this garbage country part of the year.

"The government said it had brought forward a payment related to a F-35A fighter jet order to the ⁠end of March 2026 to ensure procurement of the aircraft is not jeopardised by decisions concerning the Patriot ⁠system." Far be it for me to tell the Swiss how to do money or war but ya shouldnta paid

Eugene is recovering well, alert and joking and will go home in a few days. A big deal accident but we will be very grateful this good guy genius will recover.

"Rozz was a very young gay man singing about blood, loneliness, guilt and death at the start of “Gay Cancer” aka the AIDS crisis." To mark the anniversary of his death I updated the essay I wrote about Rozz Williams and Christian Death for @marchxness.bsky.social's March Vladness contest.

Four Eels

I didn't watch. Is NYT going to describe it as "bold words" or "a clear new vision?"

Are we winnin', dads?

If only we had a word for that.

I know the makeup of this place is going to mean some enthusiasm for space stuff, but I don't think I've ever felt more "And Whitey's on the moon" than this space launch.

L. Ron Hubbard: hello friends it's me Hubbard: your old pal, Honest Ron! Hubbard: and have i got a deal for YOU! King: wow! a deal for me?? Poe: careful steve Poe: we've been burned before on one of honest ron's deals

This raises an important question. Peg Bundy (I know that's not her) was hot. Why didn't Al want to take her to town?

You do not get credit for all the times you drive sober.

No one will ever love you because you're tiny and you're made of meat.

Occupied by a violent psycho who is still a low-rent hump in the scheme of things. Perfect, no notes.

One of the lessons from Vietnam is that when they start bombarding you with numbers like these -- ordinance used, targets struck, so many killed and wounded -- there's more we're not being told.

Your occasional reminder that vast swathes of 'forensic science' are somewhere on a spectrum stretching from 'extremely shaky' to 'made-up bollocks'.

The 12 year olds at the Pentagon had a cool new missile they wanted to use. It explodes a few feet above the ground & shoots out little tungsten pellets, killing everyone nearby. They used it to bomb a sports facility where girls were playing volleyball. Killed 21 people. In your name.

1) did you know the Aldo Kelrast story turns 20 years old this summer

The Super Mario Super Show has started airing on MEtv using some kind of AI upscaling ,and the results are as good as you'd expect

The era of "we have to move forward" is looming and I already fucking hate it.

DON'T LET THE BASTARDS GET YOU DOWN 🏳️‍⚧️ #art #tdov #transart

Mamoa as Lobo, eh? Can casting be too on the nose?
