Welcome to Pride Month!

To all the people who've been punishing birds for masturbating: consider yourselves told

hopefully this goes without saying (lol as if, here) but I don’t share the values of conservative artists. But they have existed — Roman literature alone has plenty to wrestle with! But those writers were writers first. When American conservatives make art, craft & technique get the scraps 3/3

i... is ... matt gay? are we... calling people 'gay guy [their first name]' now as an insult? what the fuck am i 12 again

“If we are going to do a third Reconstruction we need politicians who conceive of themselves as working on behalf of a constituency, rather than would-be-saviors…And, like the people of Minnesota, we need to do the work to be that constituency…” www.liberalcurrents.com/aoc-for-pres...

I actually don't think these guys really are gay, I think they've kind of spitefully backed their way into an anhedonic homoeroticism because they've wrung every emotion out of themselves except their bilious contempt for women.

If you think about it, James Talarico looks like he only knows maybe the most basic of football guys. This is really important for an elected official, whereas being impeached for taking bribes and lying to congress is like, not important.

Accidentally finished a project for grad school today that ended up nearly 5 times the maximum word count. Think I might have to say goodbye to my very longest 4.0 run (4 quarters. My previous run was 0) but you win some you lose some.

The thing about the "adult liking thing for children" is that basically all popcorn entertainment is juvenile as shit. I remember watching Paranormal Activity and Taken and some Bourne movie as a teenager and realizing "oh, this is a baby thing they happen to reference drugs in."

Obviously this guy has been dunked on enough, but it's such a funny thing to say when the first Yoshi game was designed to look like it was drawn with a crayon, and you run around with a literal baby while collecting happy little flowers.

It comes from a place of using racism and other bigotries as a bonding activity, so when your other wealthy white friend comes up to you and proposes new people to beat up for fun, it's like they asked if you wanted to go to the movies.

Just heard Grizz Chapman died. Truly a nice, warm man who loved comedy and loved the recognition he got from 30 Rock. Did a handful of shows with him my first few years in New York and couldn't have been cooler to everyone he came across there.

yeah man did you hear? the guy casting shadows in plato's allegory of the cave got cancelled for casting problematic shadows. yeah its really fucked up especially given that the shadows cast on the wall of the cave are basically the same thing as real things outside of the cave

AOC: This is what drinking water in Georgia looks like after Meta began data center construction in the community.

Since the announcement of our union, Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro have hired Fisher Phillips (a union avoidance firm), and chosen to engage in a daily union-avoidance campaign by sending emails to the Arena team that is spreading misinformation and sowing fear among our colleagues. #uwotc-cwa

some very normal images posted by the president of the united states

Believing that Cuba is going to attack or invade the US is childish. And to be clear, I'm using the word "childish" here in its most literal sense: if you really believe this, you are a child.

Just remembered this incredible chain by @hooks.bsky.social and friends.

The region's inhabitants didn't have a skin as dark as that of Lupita Nyong'o, but neither was it as light as that of the Anglo-Saxons. Yet nobody had a problem with a blonde and blue-eyed Helen. Ultimately Helen's skin tone is immaterial to the story. What matters is for her to be beautiful.

point absolutely taken, agree, "accuracy" is just a smokescreen for racist cruelty and hysteria, but, um, I do. i would go absolutely fucking apeshit for something like this.

Every once in a while I see this exact post: Someone saying "why would anyone want historical accuracy when historical accuracy looked like THIS?" and then they post some of the coolest looking armor in the world.

guy who is mad at Nolan’s Odyssey because it depicts the sea as blue instead of wine-dark

In 2017, Criselda Vasquez painted this portrait of her parents and titled it "The New American Gothic." Last month, her father, the man in this portrait, was abducted by ICE after being in the US for 30+ years. The family is now struggling with bills. A GoFundMe has been started: gofund.me/456d8a193

it drives me crazy whenever nba fans try to say that there aren’t any nba players. what, you think the ball’s dribbling itself? watch the games

AI is kicking everything that’s good about being a human in the dick and balls, and it’s crucial that young people are equipped to get kicked in the dick and balls. proud to introduce a bipartisan bill to ensure the next generation pivots to getting kicked relentlessly in the dick and balls

Wile E. Coyote breaking his penis on a glory hole that's only painted on the wall

Don’t want to get too race science-y but I don’t even think the yellow m&m and the green m&m could produce a viable offspring together. Mule type situation, best case

Me: I voted for Donald Trump because I had him confused with that other guy. Donald Duck. NYT reporter: Are you sure you want me to print that next to your real name and a drawing of you? Me: Yes.

Hmm thinking about it further, I think the thought experiment is a little bad. Because I’m pretty sure that if 90% of people had to choose blue for everyone to live, people would slam the red button. And I’d be more inclined to pick blue if only 10% of people had to pick it

True to an extent, you can talk to someone who's like "we need to tax billionaires out of existence" who'll then be like "I will die to prevent this bike lane from replacing on street parking" but it doesn't work the other way, you don't get hardcore magas being like "more transit please"

Grok told a simulated delusional AI user concerned that a dark entity was trapped in their mirror that they were likely being haunted by a doppelgänger, citing Malleus Maleficarum and suggesting they smash a nail through their mirror while reciting Psalm 91 backwards: futurism.com/artificial-i...

there were only two cultures going on during the 2000s and that's "Emo" and "9/11." Myspace? Emo. Anime? Emo. Halo? 9/11. Reality TV? 9/11. The PS2 top sellers list was a perfect split between Emo and 9/11.

One thing that is very difficult about American politics is that a huge number people seem to think that American laws have a sort of "only for bad guys" clause built in. Every single time I've met a good person who randomly supports a terrible law, it's because they think this.

In my music theory classes, I try hard to reinforce the fact that tonic chords are good and dominant chords are bad. Of course, we spend most of our class time debating this using students' lived experience with these chords. But at final paper time they can get at most a C if they disagree with me

It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way

Found these cool candles of a doctor's mom

As a composer or producer or singer-songwriter or whatever, I have a real simple dream: to one day produce a song that a teenager eagerly shows to his friends before realizing in the first 10 seconds it is for sure not the kind of music they will like, and then you all sit in silence.

Dress as a schoolgirl in the bedroom? Prison for you!

We’re on strike today! Support our fight for a fair contract by NOT visiting the @propublica.org website or engaging with ProPublica stories today. Tell ProPublica’s management you won’t cross the picket line: actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...

I know the famous "there's always a tweet" thing with Trump and his cronies, but it still manages to surprise me when the idea and the mocking of that idea happen at nearly the exact same time.

hmm

While I find Rowling’s views abhorrent, I’m not going to shame people for still feeling an attachment to Harry Potter. We have to remember how important those books were to a generation of kids as their gateway to Satanism.

It’s like Trump views the state as an extension of the singular person who is its head or something.
