truth coming out of her cup noodles to shame mankind

Someone referenced Bob Dobalina and subsequently I have been profoundly earwormed for TWO DAYS

Jamie Ding is eternal. Jamie Ding will always be winning Jeopardy somewhere.

Did I mention that i saw the latest from Julia Ducornau, Alpha?

This morning's earworm, immediately upon waking, was the jingle from Big Red gum. I have not heard this jingle since like 1988 or in fact thought at all about Big Red gum in that time. Big Red gum sucked and the jingle was annoying. The end.

I like this.

:( I loved The Maxx.

Time traveling to 1967 to tell Grace Slick that in the future, one of her songs will be advertising toilet paper on TV, sung by blue cartoon bears.

I would really, really like to see this break through the social media/substack firewall and become a discussion point in media at large. Will it make a difference? I doubt it, but it's definitely one of those "There's no way this can be true!" ideas that needs to be widely known.

Yes, people are leaving in droves, including top talent. Sure, ratings are in the toilet, as is the reputation of CBS's news division. Granted, the flagship nightly broadcast is awful. But the thing to remember about Bari Weiss is...actually, I guess that covers it.

Well, at least we alienated all our allies for nothing.

y'don't say

Neat!

Today's earworm is "Anything, Anything" by Dramarama.

Yes. Let’s do Saw on them.

i am obsessed with the idea of regular everyday people talking like this in casual convo in a real "sickos YES" sort of way. Do Saw on them!!!!

For anyone who needs it…

Bitterness and cynicism are a form of surrender, when anger at injustice remains but the will to confront it is dulled by resignation. As true warriors, let anger at injustice be bright and righteous, and let it drive us to confront its cause, stand in its way, and cast it down.

Rep. Ro Khanna just read on the House floor the names of the six 'wealthy, powerful men' whose names were originally redacted in the Epstein files: Leslie Wexner Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem Salvatore Nuara Zurab Mikeladze Leonic Leonov Nicola Caputo www.politico.com/live-updates...

My earworm for today is "Everybody Do The Wenis". Could be worse, certainly.

Thread.

I watched The Shrouds. I didn’t love The Shrouds. Fellow Cronenberg nerds, did *you* like it?

RELEVANT to my INTERESTS

The fact, Pedo Trump maintains a "rock-solid" foundation of support among white evangelical Christians says much about white evangelical Christians.

*locks the target*

If I had a heart I would eat it…

1: tribal museum tour guide 2: construction worker 3: voice recognition software developer 4: assistant director of institutional advancement 5: porn author

More of this please.

This is extremely @kkoja.bsky.social coded.

Huh. Turns out my father went to school with Eleanor Holmes Norton in the Fieldston School back in the year one.

Ah. Ah yes, the lack of dinosaurs is why no one wants to touch your weiner, you sad little turkey neck.

Alex Pretti was everything the right claims they want a man to be. He was helpful, courageous, athletic, selfless, community minded and carried a gun. Then, his last act was looking out for someone. He shames them by merely existing. They know he is the answer to every argument for a while.

Good and Pretti. Irony?

Please let it happen on live broadcast.

Have seen many variations of this & broadly agree—but the part that struck me in the moment wasn’t “this is a microcosm for how America sucks” — it was “this is a microcosm for trying to behave democratically & respectfully of one another in a complex, evolving situation with things we can't know.”

i feel like the viral bus thread resonates because at every step of the way you're like "ok surely this will be resolved shortly, any second now," which seems like what all the passengers are also thinking. then the fact that the situation doesn't resolve and the bus just keeps going is an Allegory

Hollywood drugged us into the a mass delusion that some hero is going to save us. There is no hero. It’s a million small real actions by hundreds of millions of people that will pull us out eventually. The people always win. Find something real and tangible to do, and do it now. And now. And now.

I’m sharing this video again because people don’t really get what these data centers and ai are doing to our planet and our communities. Especially Black communities because they were strategically placed there. I need you to listen to these people. STOP USING AI. STOP SUPPORTING AI.

hey, @fishheadned.bsky.social !

Well, there it is- notification from the Seneca Nation for all tribal members to be absolutely sure to carry their Nation ID cards "just in case". Hey, SNI, the gwis:gwis do not care about that. Also guess the unenrolled are out of luck, huh? Ot:si'da.

Reposting to share alternatives to Stickermule (given their owner being an inhuman monster)! I know many folks that make stickers so this is to signal boost this helpful little comment ;3

Which Republican will finally say not that I loved Caesar less, but that they love Rome more.

Have never opened it, not even once. I do my best to disable any AI nonsense on all my devices.
