just imagine hearing someone say “to what end?” and not at least mentally adding 🎶 TOOO WHAT END 🎶 after. impossible.

A non pet commission

Max Rebo. You just know this guy walks around with checks in envelopes at the end of the week, he’s just got that energy. Snootles might be a diva but I’m sure Rebo runs interference on that. You get to see the outer rim & a lot of dives but I bet you also meet a lot of old Nuevo swing legends

thank you sam alito for ending the unconstitutional racial discrimination against white conservatives and allowing them to obliterate federal representation for as many black people as they can manage, as the reconstruction congress intended

Dragonfruit guava sherbet churned this morning. Pretty great! Gonna be hard to top the key lime pie sherbet from st pats though

If the Ayatollah had prayed this, we'd be using it as evidence that Iran's leaders are extremist lunatics.

@edsbs.bsky.social if you had said they put mathematician, musical comic, and renowned inventor of the Jello shot Tom Lehrer front and center in episode two I woulda started For All Mankind even sooner youtu.be/QEJ9HrZq7Ro?...

just some quick napkin math on this, $375 million is 0.18% of meta's reported 2025 revenue of $200.97 billion, or 0.62% of meta's reported 2025 profit of $60.46 billion. $375 million is the maximum penalty allowed by law. the system just like, fundamentally doesn't work lol

Back in the day I transcribed an old Barth speech that isn't anywhere on the English Internet, I think, and my old site is gone, but it's still on the Wayback Machine. One of my fav speeches ever, changed my life. web.archive.org/web/20210121...

Opbf and I are at a local St Patrick’s Day block party thing and there are two different Latin food trucks doing Irish fusion, including corned beef empanadas this kind of thing is what makes America great, not the nativist bullshit

I read the “Save America Act,” so you don’t have to. Most of the media apparently *hasn’t* read it because, if they had, they would be sounding the alarm about the provision in Point 1, below, which almost none of them have even mentioned. I hope this summary helps raise awareness. 1/

I feel like it should be more widely unpopular that in the past year we’ve witnessed the creation of an American Stasi required to meet arrest quotas who utilize an AI technology created by a company run by a sweaty raisin of a billionaire who thinks Greta Thunberg is the antichrist.

God bless America, this America

you do not need to wait for jesus to “come back.” dig through the rubble of any bombed out apartment complex, office building or, yes, girls’ school, and you’ll find him there, covered in dust.

christians looking for jesus in every war we start, every missile we fire, every conquering despot we crown, and never in the one place jesus promised he could be found: among the poor, the starving, the oppressed.

Somehow he didn’t perceive someone coming from his right

we appear to have four competing fascist movements jockeying for control: blood & soil nazism under miller and hegseth, darwinian ecofascism from rfk, technofascism under vance and musk, and one Big Wet Hitler who understands the true animating core of the american volk is a deep love for shopping

Describing my favorite games poorly: - if I even begin to describe this game I am legally obligated to kill myself and then you - using the power of the moon to acquire cake - giant worms want YOU! For renewable energy - stepmom fixes your parents’ marriage

I hate to sound like a broken record, but the tools to correct literally all of this nonsense are sitting in the toolbox just the distance of a couple of spines to uphold a sworn oath away.

This event is insane

Abbott: Ha, wouldn’t it be funny to explain spheres to creatures that grew up in a two dimensional space? It would probably drive them crazy. Wouldn’t it be weird if we encountered four-dimensional beings? Lovecraft: oh fuck... what if we encountered four dimensional beings… they could be Irish

okay you know what we're doing this why rise of skywalker is the worst crime ever committed against cinema and the very concept of a coherent fictional universe: a thread

I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it. I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.” 1/

Added bonus that Harrison Butker has to know the woke bowl was all about kicking field goals

the halftime show reminds me that even with all of the enemies of the republic currently in charge, there is still something about this country worth loving

OK "god bless america" and then naming every country in the americas from south to north is absolute king shit

It’s so funny that this guy’s entire thing is “Oh are you triggered by what I have to say about marginalized people” but he loses it when someone more well-liked than he will ever be talks about an actual injustice

Don’t know if I’ve ever felt more patriotic than I did this morning following a procession of Buddhist monks down the street of West Columbia, SC as a mariachi band played them on from the sidewalk. There’s still good left in this world, Mr Frodo, and it’s worth fighting for.

BIG FIGHT AT POLAND’S WROCLAW ZOO!!!

@celebrityhottub.bsky.social after watching us lose to both Alabama and A&M this year, blowing a lead slowly is so much worse

jeremy strong in the springsteen movie looks like they made an oscar bait minions adaptation

“Spirit,” said Scrooge, with an interest he had never felt before, “tell me if Tiny Tim will live.” “I see a vacant seat,” replied the Ghost, “in the poor chimneycorner, and a crutch without an owner, carefully preserved. Like, twenty minutes from now. This kid is getting fucked UP.”

obviously not the major driver of his health concerns but it is very funny to read A Christmas Carol as an adult and realize that when tiny tim first says "God bless us, every one!" he's a severely malnourished child and they've given him a cup of hot gin

Today, on Heat Death! @saulelbein.bsky.social gives the fossil fuel industry and its underworld kings a bracing dose of that old-time religion.

The Nutcracker gotta be the original story about someone who told their uncle they liked something ONE time and now it’s all they get for Christmas

It should go without saying, but the Jesus Christ of the Bible (Lord and Savior of the Christian faith) would not bomb a boat because maybe there are drugs on board and then if there were survivors clinging to the wreckage, bomb them again until they died.

This so perfectly sums up the insane cruelty of the moment: A Trump supporter cheering the missile strikes on Caribbean boats and the killing of survivors, because she thinks this is what Jesus would have done. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/06/u...
