It's been at least 15 years since I last listened to this album, but out of the blue today, Roygbiv by Boards of Canada popped into my head. So of course, I had to find it, and then listen to the rest of Music Has a Right to Children while I was at it.

TABLESIDE GUAC!! CarlosGreaves with @borowitzreport.bsky.social really knocks it outta the park with this one.

Let's gooooooo Team Talarico!!! @jamestalarico.bsky.social @teamtalaricohq.bsky.social

Storytime🧵: Today, I heard repeated dull thumping coming from the front step. Confused, I opened the door and saw four crows fly off from right in front of me. Looking down, I had a package with strips pulled off and holes pecked in the cardboard. Ok, that's odd. Picking up the box, I saw:

"Trump says" "The WH says" "The President says" "Admin officials say"

Dear Maria Bartiroma: I understand your continued employment hinges on how well you publicly gargle Trump's balls every day on Fox, but FFS, tone it down with the shrewish harpy screeching, would you? You sound like the eternally single crazy aunt who reeks of sherry at the family reunion.

After 3+ weeks waiting for Meta to process my returned malfunctioning controller (still nothing), I finally caved and let my partner get me the early birthday present he'd planned on. Boxing with two arms again!! Woooooo!!!

This final week of the Late Show with Stephen Colbert is must-see TV!! Just the announced lineup has been bouncing with excitement. #fuckCBS #fuckBariWeiss #fuckFascism #FuckOff47

Hello, Dolly!! So glad to hear your treatments are going well. This woman is a national treasure. Truly, she represents the best our country has to offer.

WELL EARNED!!! #Doom @doom.com

Walk into Half-Price Books to pick up an order that came in. Leave with three more books than that. These are the rules, sorry. I don't make 'em, I just try to live by 'em.

I bet at this point even Fox misses Obama; at least then, they could feel clever having to work to come up with cutting remarks against a well-spoken, intelligent man. Now all they can do is concoct batshit narratives to try to glaze a guy who obviously can barely string together a sentence.

🎶MAGAs a Dumpster Fire🎶 by Bucky Goldstein Here’s another great song by Bucky, just released yesterday! He is becoming the king of parody music! Enjoy! 👏👏👏👏👏 #SheShed #BuckyGoldstein #MagasADumpsterFire #DontBeADick

Someone asked me years ago what my favorite sitcom was; my answer was "The IT Crowd." Confused, they asked if I had any others. "Coupling, Spaced, Are You Being Served?, Red Dwarf..." That's when I realized I really only like Britcoms. (Though I've become a fan of Community since then)

Yeah, she speaks for all of us at this point: STOP FUCKING TALKING ABOUT THE BIDEN YEARS!! THEY ENDED A YEAR AND A HALF AGO AND YOU HAVE DONE *NOTHING* TO IMPROVE ANYTHING FOR ANYONE WHO ISN'T ALREADY GROSSLY WEALTHY.

I love these two women. LOVE them.

Name 10 bands you've obsessed over at some point #musicchallenge: 1. Green Day 2. The Descendents 3. Pendulum 4. Knife Party 5. Sting 6. Geggy Tah 7. NateWantsToBattle 8. The Gomers 9. Radiohead 10. Underworld (My tastes swing around a lot)

The contrast of stances in this image is incredibly striking. Xi looks completely at ease and confident. Trump looks like he's struggling to stay balanced.

LMAO called it.

Here's the thing: People talk about "missing the days when a man's word was his bond and integrity meant something" and then conflate that with "return to the 1920s/1950s etc." But those days SUCKED for anyone who wasn't a white cis male. They don't seem to get that you can still venerate 1/

Dear all companies, corporations, and agencies: Please understand that my answer to ANY "would you like to add/activate/buy/try this AI-run feature/app/device to make your life 'easier'?" inquiry will always be a resounding 'NO.' FFS stop trying to use me to justify your wasteful spending.

Sure! Hey Bluesky folks, let's get to know each other better. What is your all-time favorite TV Show? The IT Crowd

45 minutes lawnmowing. 1 hour weights. 20 miles biking (another 5 to go). 30 minutes boxing. Raaaaaaarrrrrr, I am ACTIVE WOMAN, hear me respirate!

Ignorance may be bliss but I wouldn't want to be one of the ignorant right now... But god do I hate being one of the informed, because it's terrifying to see the cascade effects of just the past 15 months and knowing how catastrophic things are going to get.

I actually get really frustrated and anxious watching stock indices rising these days, because I *know* how they're being artificially propped up and it's not sustainable.

I'm now a full convert to the "cream cheese and almond flour" keto baking concept. The chocolate muffins we just made are soft, fluffy, and moist. They're good enough that we'll be using the recipe for kiddo's birthday cupcakes. And only 7 grams of carbs each!

I asked my partner if I was allowed to have a little crush on Andrew Rhea and he said "do I need to be concerned?" No, dear, I will not throw you over for a celebrity YouTuber. He's just gonna sit there in the corner of my brain with Gary Oldman and Alton Brown.

Right up there with Hassett crowing about "Look at how many charges people are putting on their credit cards! That's great news!" "Cheapest fast-food chains make more profits as consumer sentiment hits all-time low." Yeah, that's not the flex you think it is, regime media.

RGG, you lovely, crafty people!! Stranger than Heaven looks incredible and I can't wait to play it!! (However, I still want more Ichiban Kasuga in my life)

Were the 2000s the decade of indie rock/pop, or did that just happen to be the decade I was most aware of indie rock/pop?

I stand with @markhamillofficial.bsky.social . We're ALL just waiting for the day when we can dance in the streets and breathe a collective sigh of relief because one of the biggest stains on our country will have finally ended his reign of insanity.

Kevin Hassett, the pudgy naked gerbil of the US cabinet, goes on the news and tries to spin "everything is so expensive that people are maxing their credit cards to pay bills" as "people are spending so much money now! That's great for the economy!" *shudders*

This should be our new national pastime. 😁

This is Big Boi, our 3,000th sponsored dog 🎉

Every time I put on my Quest: Meta: "Hey, try FitXR!" Me: "No." *boots up #SupernaturalVR* Fuck Meta for closing their studio. I will use that app until the wheels fall off. Miss you, coaches. 💔

I miss having a president who actually gave a flying fuck about the American people.

NEWS: The Epstein files are now bound into 3,437 physical volumes in a new exhibition space in Tribeca. Millions of pages. Two stories tall. And yet only two people have ever faced accountability. Katie Phang discusses the rage she felt walking through the space.

*rubs temples* I know I'm not the first person to connect Project 2025's playbook and the actual end goal of these sociopaths, but last night it coalesced for me based on what would otherwise seem like irrational actions by this regime and....just...Holy fuck. They're trying to bring back serfdom.

Note to self: you are well into middle age. Yes, you ran when you were younger. That does noy mean you should get back into running now. Owwww my thighs. 😣😣😣

Sending love and support to voters in Indiana, Ohio and Michigan today. Go show 'em the power of the people!!

MAGA screamed bloody murder that Bill & Hillary Clinton HAD to give taped depositions under oath re: Epstein despite Hillary not being mentioned even once in the #EpsteinFiles. Now they're fine with PAM F'ING BONDI giving a "transcribed interview", no tape, no oath. The coverup is blatant.

I'm amused that Trump claims Iran's leadership is in tatters and its top officials are hiding in bunkers when, according to intelligence reports, that describes Russia's current status. So he can't differentiate Iran, Russia, Ukraine, Venezuela, Iceland, or Greenland. The best people, amirite? 🤦‍♀️

Anyone else noticing how Dumbo's "rallies" are sounding more and more like the attendees think they're at a Rodney Dangerfield standup show? It's mostly everyone laughing uncomfortably at what they desperately pretend are "jokes" coming out of Dumbo's mouth.

May the Fourth Be with us all.

Watching @davie504.bsky.social doing Michael Jackson basslines and my 13 yo says, "Wait, Michael Jackson did Smooth Criminal?" Fffffffffff.... ok, time for me to pull out all the albums and introduce my child to the King of Pop.

Just like the Saudis: hit him where he actually gives a shit.

Please, Texas! Listen to James Talarico: “We are living in an era of corruption… the rotting of something from the inside.” Politicians serving billionaire megadonors, the top 1% owning more than the middle class, and algorithms dividing us. None of this is accidental.

My Friday night gaming sessions with friends across the country is the highlight of my week. Tonight we built a giant library in our shared Pokopia cloud island. Lots of cozy gaming, lots of laughs. Essential for maintaining sanity in this insane era.

*chef's kiss* No notes. This is perfect.

The surreal life as the parent of a T1D kiddo in 2026 USA: Counting bottles of insulin to see how many months his supply will last if our narcissistic man-baby President utterly demolishes international trade. (Humalog is made in Puerto Rico; Lantus is produced in France.)
