The best thing you can do right now is spread the word so Laird Barron gets a kidney. The next-best thing you can do is buy Laird’s amazing books. I don’t care if they’re his Bad Hand titles. I don’t care where you get ‘em. Show him all the love.

In case anyone would like a tool to throw together a quick portfolio site for some reason today...

Disney just dropped a 40% discount for a bunch of their cruises: something they are generally loathe to do and this is the first time I've seen it publicly promoted by them. Anyway seems like a really good time to tell them you'll be avoiding their products due to the Kimmel situation.

the internet was better before smartphones

anna, stop wriggling your toes comfortably in bed.... anna, your toes are too comfortable.... anna, you must stop them!!!!

uspol / at this point expecting the fed-level democrats to do anything meaningful is a fool's work. they aren't opposing anything or saving anyone. (this is not a give up statement; this is a replace the motherfuckers and keep fighting in local communities.)

probably my most controversial fountain pen community opinion is that i do think the backlash against ferris wheel press' inks is driven by gatekeeping behavior; the inks exploded in popularity on instagram largely with young women, and that's Gross. but ppl disdain self-reflection so

rsvping to a protest is just such a funny concept. they don't have a door guy. you can just join the protest

How are people still screeching about protest signups. Just go to the protest without signing up if you’re paranoid, who the fuck cares.

at this point i would drink rat poison before i'd work for disney again.

One thing I'll say about DC not only canceling Red Hood, but recalling the first issue and refunding stores for buying it, is that you can still get Neil Gaiman's work through them. They still work with Otto Schmidt. Eddie Berganza worked there for years AFTER the formation of a policy that no women

i do recommend switching your search engine to duckduckgo... the ai stuff is straightforward to turn off & you can block websites directly from the results

Realistically, DraftKings was headquartered in Gotham.

causing a ruckus in the fantasy league group chat because Hines Ward's 6 fantasy points for the return TD should count even if Bane blew up the stadium

excited to reread the murderbot diaries and be swept away in the passionate belief that a rogue secunit and an advanced scientific research vessel can fall in love

the worst of his second term... so FAR

Live your life in a way that when you die people come together to say as one “I would have liked to have had sex with him.”

it took me like 10 seconds to get the chickpea joke in mbmbam 780 and when the shoe dropped i swear my whole face jumped off my head in an exclamation point

Behold: www.usatoday.com/story/entert...

not an exaggeration to say I am WEEPING with laughter at this reply from someone who hadn't seen that Robert Redford died today

A giant has left us. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/16/m...

MON SANDWICH and albert the tenacious french pug diving back in again and again ... now this is what the internet is REALLY about

If you need a palate cleanser after, y’know, everything, please enjoy this French pug called Albert

sneezing in ways that are wildly detrimental to my brain's continuing function

CAP's Corporate Power Reset is the first challenge to Citizens United that has a strong chance of surviving legal review. It’s built on bedrock constitutional and corporate law. And every state in America can take it up right now. @americanprogress.bsky.social

uspol / it has become very clear in the last few months that the people, organizations, and states that refuse to bow to the whims of the trump admin and similar white supremacist bullies are the people, organizations, and states who retain autonomy and power. catering to trump is a losing move

The @newrepublic.com actually does very useful and helpful REPORTING. How about @propublica.org? Excellent. The @51st.news is doing excellent actual reporting. So is @thetriibe.com in Chicago. There are so many other places to get actual useful news.

My dear friend Stephanie's 26-year-old son, Jaden, was recently shot and killed in Atlanta. He leaves behind a fiancee and 4-year-old daughter—"his whole world," as Stephanie put it. Stephanie has created a fundraiser to help cover rent and bills as they face the unimaginable. Any amount helps.

lst well what can i say but go birds

I have a theory - much like how if you live in New York City for long enough you become culturally Jewish in a way, if you hang out online for too long you end up culturally Philadelphian

this is bluesky pandering at the highest level, just shameless behavior by which I mean “go birds”

It is very funny that people think their neighborhood Catholic priest has had their brain melted by online bullshit as much as they have.

It's Friday night baby

This is a great thread for those who aren’t Terminally Online like the rest of us

basically a generational cohort split here where certain younger people intuitively grasp the irony poisoned context, and if you aren't already up to speed, very hard to explain

one of my earliest memories was hearing the Oklahoma city bombing from miles away

trying to be shocked that once again a shooter was a groyper

BIG BOAT STUCK

today i WILL knit two full pattern repeats in this blanket ... 10 rows, baby, shoot for da moon

Remembering MN house speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their beloved dog Gilbert. Murdered in June at their home by a rightwing Trump-voting evangelist, who also shot another MN lawmaker and his wife at THEIR home, 9 and 8 times, respectively (miraculously, they survived).

tremendous disrespect here to that thing you do

Mini marsupial bounces back from the brink! Once listed as Endangered, the crest-tailed mulgara expanded its range by more than 48,000 km² between 2015 and 2021, lifting its status to Least Concern. Biocontrol contributed to the heartwarming bounce-back. https://f.mtr.cool/afllseseeb

just a terrible fumble here. now look at what pritzker does, keeping a grip on the ball - look, here, he swaps it to his other hand - yes, he's pushing forward and redirecting the play back onto trump

what's the grossest sweet things you ever ate as a child thinking it would be delicious... i drank out of a bottle of vanilla extract because it smelled nice & i wound up proto-barfing all of it across the kitchen floor

idk y'all. two separate white boys tried to **** trump and the years of lead aren't yet here.

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

Like the United CEO - do I approve of extra-judicial vigilante shootings - no. Random assassinations don’t help (this is not a condemnation of all political violence). But do I feel bad for ppl like Kirk when shit that they have openly helped to continue finally happens to them? Also no.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) on the shooting of Charlie Kirk: "Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it."
