“turns out it really hurt to hit your dick with a hammer”

fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck ffffffffffffffffuckk

absolutely wild move by @oversightdemocrats.house.gov to allow comments on the dropbox folder with the epstein photos

really looking forward to president trump and president kennedy teaming up, honestly

I should not have had to look at the rest of the thread to tell whether this was real.

he also kind of gets everyone's asses again in this follow up with the washington post

“Don’t waste your time on anything that doesn’t thrill you or bring you love. See you out somewhere in the cosmos.” This is the posthumous message left by Gil Gerard. The actor who played Buck Rogers in Buck Rogers in the 25th Century (1979) has just passed away at the age of 82.

"I'd be thrilled to see any of my colleagues in the Oval Office next year. Any of them would be a vast improvement on the treacherous, petulant children on the Republican side. Except that fucking guy right there. That viper, that hollowed-out husk with dishwater ambition where his soul should be."

This is my only completed knitting project. It’s supposed to be square. I’m immensely proud of my improvement from starting corner to finishin, and I use it as a dust cloth for the gear I use in the hobby that stuck.

I hate that this is ever more relevant and I know this is still and echo chamber but I humbly submit: unwoman.com/mamas.html

I've famously told this story on podcasts a number of times, but I met Gil Gerard as a kid at a celebrity tennis tournament and he tried to pick up my mom right in front of me. Was I mad? No. Buck Rogers tried to fuck my mom, which is the most Buck Rogers thing he could do. Lived up to the legend.

I'm not saying any of what's happening is justified, but there is history here.

"To these detectives of digital inauthenticity, I say: Friend, welcome to a typical Tuesday in a Kenyan classroom, boardroom, or intra-office Teams chat. The very things you identify as the fingerprints of the machine are, in fact, the fossil records of our education."

Anyone want to give me 10:1 if I put up $100 on Trump resigning?

I have additional questions.

I want it on record that the Legally Distinct Little Pony I once drew in a leather dominatrix outfit explicity rebukes facism and Naziism and all forms of bigotry.

Trump Take Roomba

"I did enjoy She’s My Newt, the quirky family sitcom about [Ripley, Hicks, and Newt] settling down together [after their safe return to Earth], but the tonal whiplash of the Weyland-Yutani-heavy episodes was a lot for audiences to deal with -- not surprising it was canceled after the first season."

I'm cis so I'm not putting it in the thread, but yesterday I was at a nerd meetup with a bunch of cis dudes and we talked admiringly about two different trans women who have made immense contributions to our hobby. Maybe a tiny good thing that happened to trans people that they'll never know about.

pivot-to-video was sold on lies and we're all worse off for it

MTG looking a hundred times more warm, empathetic, and human than the president of the United States here. Absolute Bizarro World.

"Originally I was thinking Sage and October would be the central relationship, and Jayleen was a very minor character, but my inner lesbian won out."

He's also responsible for raising all the money that paid for bringing Hollingsworth v. Perry & even more importantly Bostic v. Schaefer, which created the circuit split that forced SCOTUS to take on Obergefell v. Hodges. The role he played in American marriage equality cannot be overstated.

Reddit is growing because it's just a collection of forums and people like their niches. Substack is something else and I'm bored even writing this sentence about it. All I know for sure is the reporters and commenters who spend their whole day on Twitter in 2025 have to go to a hospital.

any noun in the entire English language can be a British euphemism for getting drunk, you just add an adverb before and “ed” on the end

This one is a gorgeous ballet.

This one is delightful!

Hofstadter's _Godel, Escher, Bach_. Chamberlin's _Musical Applications of Microprocessors_ is too niche.

David Foster Wallace could just about pull off a cascaded “which is to say”, but at least he hated himself for it.

I asked on mastodon for some suggestions for instruments I could paint rats playing and the number one idea hands down was a theremin and so...

horrible and necessary thread. I got the shingles vax this year! Was it fun? Nah, I felt lousy for a day or so. I'll take it happily.

Oh. They want to hire brown people to clean their houses without having to see brown people in their houses.
