30 years ago Chuck Palahniuk’s Fight Club accurately predicted that men under late capitalism, empty consumers who had come to think of themselves as “the middle children of history” with no great wars to fight, would eventually prank and shitpost their way into fascism.

Sorry to everyone just now finding out that evangelical support for Israel is tied to belief that it’s necessary to bring about the return of Jesus.

Commentary: Anyone Else Have Those Weird Dreams Where Sobbing Future Generations Beg You To Change Course?

The guy with the Deus Vult and Kafir tattoos said that??? 🤯

I need this as a keyboard shortcut

The lesson of this and the DEI lawsuit is that if you fight them in court, you will win. If you cave, you are a chump.

I had shingles in September and you know that saying "i wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy"? Turns out it's not true in this case!

they said the thing. they actually said it.

I dunno gang...starting to think it was a bad idea to elect an amoral conman who has never faced negative consequences for any action ever in his life and is totally ignorant (and yet confident in his knowledge) about anything other than criming to the US presidency.

I don't watch TV or look at X....are there lots of videos of things getting blown up? Because I feel like that helped the previous wars...the cinematic drama of it all. But also I don't know how our 45 second tiktok/reels attention span works with that. and yes, I hate everything i just wrote too.

Hmmmm…

a month later than intended, got my winter sown perennials out. It’ll freeze a few more times before may so not two worried that I’m late.

I do appreciate that this administration is too incompetent to manufacture even the thinnest pretext for this, so we don't have to relive that 2002-2003 run when opposing an obviously idiotic war basically made you feel like the one sane person in a Twilight Zone episode.

If I may be controversial and brave, constantly living with the threat of mass shootings is pretty terroristic regardless of motives of shooters.

Watch the whole video. This is a perfect, succinct take and I wish it weren’t so apt at describing all the times institutions co-opt the language of inclusion and apply it like a landlord special paint job. It doesn’t change what’s just beneath the surface and it shows how little effort was made.

I grew up in a place and time where there were a lot of Vietnam Vets. I think, esp where I lived, the reaction to the first two (🥴) gulf wars was an overcorrection and meant to fix how those vets were treated. Anyway much like lessons of WWII build up forgotten as those people died, maybe same here?

I should…fill the car up with gas today.

Anyway, it’s pretty cool for US farmers that starting a war in the Gulf threatens fuel and fertilizer prices and the US decided to do it right before Spring Plant starts. www.fb.org/market-intel...

Turns out that "learn to code" was not such great career advice

Also I am triggered as fuck when I hear Lee Greenwoods “Proud to be an American” now. It’s “Ride of the Valkyries” for a certain segment of the American population.

It’s weird to be 50 years old and realize the United States has been starting wars in the Middle East with less and less justification and fewer and fewer allied forces joining since I was in high school. I was at band camp when Iraq invaded Kuwait and we didn't even know where or what kuwait was…

Who said immigrants can’t integrate? The good congresswoman here has mastered Minnesota nice.

Rabbit Rabbit Rabbit 🐰🐰🐰

I mean…okay.

what if we kissed in the cloth walled open air SCIF

In other news I think I maybe over did it today and/or I’m not as back to health as I thought.

I passed by a hospital today that posts the names of recently born babies on their electric sign and I saw “Ophelia” and oh Taylor Swift what did you do???

i feel like a lot of the enablers of Trump don't seem to realize that in order to have any place in world stage after Trump/MAGA is over, the US is going to have to do a big show of punishing those responsible for it and...they're going to be the ones left to be held responsible.

what's the over/under the civilian military command is using Grok in some part to plan this madness?

Does Trump not have a horse available?

So I think I’m going to get myself dressed and then get out of the house because if I spend day staring at need I will go insane.

Amazing offer. Free Claude Max 20x for maintainers of large OSS projects

February 2026 was just a Hell of a month….

And that’s why I’ve been up since 5:45 on a saturday….

Taking a moment to leave a message on my worthless senators’ phone lines and tell them how pathetic they are for standing by as trump destroys everything. You might consider it.

It’s the least important thing, but I can’t believe our pedophile president just declared an illegal war at 3am in this fuckass hat.

As I was writing all this, we did it. ONE MILLION WHISTLES (plus 9000 for good measure) shipped and into the hands of regular people who will distribute them in their communities to keep their neighbors safe. You could do that too. Just send a request to the email at the top of whistlegoblins.fun

hello Buncombe County, NC (found on Reddit)

The biggest effect I see from people still spending time on X—which many deny or don't even notice—is how it shifts their perception of what's normal. Such as: Actively anti-trans is speaking like a normal person Objecting to Nazi symbols turns off the working class Epstein knew a bunch of Jews etc

i was just talking to a historian who remarked his research relied on books you can only get from a subscription that costs institutions anywhere from 6-7 figures. they just literally own and control human history.

Fasten your seat belts. www.law360.com/pulse/modern...

love and joy and inclusion are going to win

so i went down rabbit hole of looking at someone's bsky account that spends a majority of their time arguing with people that have a problem with a certain political candidate and...do they actually *like* that candidate or just hate (and want to argue with) people that point out problems with him?

I got a Blink camera a few years ago when I dog sat for my sister because I was paranoid my house would burn down every time I left them alone. so I am aware that they are terrible. anyway, I got this ad today and can't wait to see how this completely fucks up someone's life.

In light of what is happening in Kansas, I want to reup this @sciam.bsky.social article on the world's first trans clinic destroyed in Nazi Germany. www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-...

Completely forgot until I got email from web forum that I used to visit but today is my "Hysterversary". Now that Gen X is getting old, is there any...cool....gynecological health support forums? The one I used in my early 30s when I had my surgery was aimed at people 20 years older and...twee.

Trying to decide if I actually miss old twitter or I just miss 2010.

"Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a nearly blind refugee from Burma who Border Patrol agents dropped off at a doughnut shop Thursday and left to find his way home, 5 miles away, has been found dead." To read the words is to damn all involved, from Trump on down.
