Friends: do you know a Megan, who recently hurt her ankle in a Trade Joe’s parking lot and had surgery? Because her pissy ginger boyfriend is talking shit about her at Denver airport and thousands of women on Threads from *at least four* continents are gonna hunt him into his last days. Pass it on.

What would excite me is DEI and fair wages.

“Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic,” they said. “That means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice and a third, a fourth. Then what happens?”

Bingo. Corporate welfare is the real welfare you should be talking about.

Hey @schumer.senate.gov You suck at this.

yes senator they're roasting you on Bluesky, sir yes full roast sir, the communists, the wine moms, Bill Kristol, they're all roasting you, sir no, sir, I haven't seen him in Waiting for Godot, but he's roasting you, too, sir

Yes really — the “we asked this guy. He doesn’t actually know jack shit but he’s rich” model of reportage really needs to go

The biggest tell that someone is a dullard is having no favorite bands or movies or some form of entertainment. It's how you know those "grindset" types are the dumbest fucks on the planet. They have no interests. They are literally the NPCs they bitch about. You're a cog in the shit machine

I can’t believe Zohran is transing the trains already www.mta.info/article/f-m-...

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market. This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

Did the New York Times ruin journalism?

heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

I love that Mamdani is what the right claimed Obama was: A Muslim socialist born in Africa. The right practically manifested Mamdani into existence.

I love that Zohran did not praise Cuomo in his speech. You absolutely do not have to say nice things about bad people. We should normalize that in “polite” politics: Praising bad people is not actually “civility.”

Mamdani going so hard for trans right and winning is some juicy proof that every dem that abandoned us didn’t do it for politically advantageous reasons. They did it because they’re transphobes and they will lose for it

someone invited people magazine to the kitchen and they brought their own knives

The world is rough right now but thankfully @tkingfisher.com keeps churning out the absolute best books.

So much this.

A bunch of the adults at my work dressed up as Harry Potter characters. Being a trans person is exhausting.

Read in public. Read in private. Read e-books, genre books, comics, fanfiction. Read literature. Read nonfiction. Read books you’ve already read. Listen to audiobooks. Read what you want. There’s no such thing as “doing reading the wrong way.”

I’d love to go like one day without having to talk or read or think about AI.

i’m just so mad because if we absolutely had to elect an unqualified media personality to be president we should have gone with either of the guys from CAR TALK

this headline hums with ancient autumnal dread

Goddamn @theamynicholson.bsky.social COOKED with this FRANKENSTEIN review. Bow down to one of the greats. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

Apple picking is great if you’re really into self-checkout but you’re also kind of outdoorsy

I was recommending @gingerhaze.bsky.social’s new book to one of the library kids today and mentioned that he’s married to @mollyostertag.bsky.social and this 9th grader just looked at me and said “what a power couple.”

George Orwell’s Animal Crossing

199 years after the last one, way to string along your fanbase, Ms. Shelley

they're calling her "the coolest person who has ever been alive"

Some Saturday porch reading

Become ungovernable

I feel like Smaug and this post is the black arrow.

This is how I feel about it being October. #joybat

“He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. “He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.” -Declaration of Independence

If you offer this, I will in fact go out of my way to use every app and device that avoids it.

Too late, Batman. Once this Tylenol floods the city's water supply, my wiki won't run out of editors ever again

"Autism Announcement": is this, like, a gender reveal party? Are there bombs and reams of confetti?

I'm firmly on the side of autism in this war on autism.

Disney adults canceling subscriptions, vacations, etc really are making the Harry Potter adults that threw a fit over a $60 video game look like huge bitches

Q: but what if a full Epstein investigation also takes down Bill Clinton????? A:

Read to the end of this one. Trust me.

Sure, Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein is great, but does anyone remember Mary Shelley's revised ending?

No.

putting aside the trans rights issues specifically (lol), I think part of what has me so frustrated with the Newsom thing is that Pritzker, Walz, and Zohran are putting on clinics for a popular, progressive politics and we’re wasting time talking about this used car salesman ass goblin.

gen ai sucks we all hate gen ai #art #noai #antiai
