It's important to me that sometimes I feel like I was uniquely good at handling a work thing. But each thing from today could have felt like that on their very own days. They did not need to all coincide

First (and especially second) person narration is some Michael Bay shit. It can only be good despite itself and despite its artificially heightened immediacy The most impressive thing you can do is make me give a shit in third person omniscient

Watching people accuse profoundly noteworthy people of trying anything to get attention/engagement on bluesky (of all places) is interesting I feel like thirty years into someone's career they might have better ways to garner attention, so like... maybe that's not what's happening?

Part of backlash is predicated on the loud voice of Barney Frank who insisted that if every queer person were out and open, all would change. He thought the preexisting love that people have for the queer folks in their lives would see to it He spoke with hope and from privilege. He was wrong

Bluesky used to be a cool place full of people saying "you're right" and "agreed!" But I posted one really dumb thing and now it's a toxic place full of people saying "I don't agree" and "that post was dumb." Says a lot about society

IT'S JUST AN ACCIDENT THAT YOUR PARENTS ARE YOUR PARENTS

Please remember that "that's illegal" is a *description*, not a *conclusion*. The law PROHIBITS people from doing things. It does not PREVENT people from doing things. "Illegal" does not mean "impossible." "Illegal" means "on a list of actions the government can, but is not required, to punish."

My entire adult life before cohabitation w marc my wifi network was OverAndOver There's not a better Fleetwood Mac album and I will fight anybody over this

Garfield and friends said trans rights

Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world,... I feel like I can't take it. And my heart is just going to cave in.

When I was your age computers trusted us to resize windows ourselves literally any size and arrangement we wanted no nudging or anything

Really hard to say anything miles did is underrated, but if anything is it's this

I want this?

has someone done a mashup of daft punk and columbo doing "one more time" but it's "erm, one more thing"

What people don't understand is that 35 year old women have no actual agency, and this is especially true when they're billionaires. Someone has to save her from this lifestyle that she's had absolutely no say in establishing

Plenty of reasonable critiques of Shusterman's scythe books but a Texas whose leadership is headed by someone who named themselves in honor of Barbara Jordan is absolutely worth imagining

The fact that second from the left guy is wearing a seventh doctor jumper is all the proof you need that Jonathan Nathan-Turner was evil

I reject the assertion that habeas corpus is a "big word" or that there's any mature adult who shouldn't be expected to know what it means (let alone a national leader)

Louisville

Man a hundred years ago frogs were like holy shit this water is hot, but I guess nerve damage is to be expected now that we're at a rolling boil

Remember when they said a taco truck on every corner like it was a bad thing

this is at 9 and it's 6:05 now

In the kitchen Marc sings exactly one line of "Corn Dog Life" (namely, "it's a corn dog life for us"), and the song returns to the ether

I'm not sure Jesus would find evil in the act of transgressing national borders in part because I don't think Jesus would have had a good sense of what that even is?

I need people to stop referring to conversion "therapy" as something that's been discredited or doesn't work. That's like saying torture is "discredited" or doesn't work. That they don't work for their stated purpose is secondary to the fact that they DO work for their REAL purpose:

Shout out to the American Presidents who didn't... (checks notes)... hate Americans.

I never said all jigglypuffs are unhealthy I just said they give the *appearance* of being unhealthy so yeah nurse joy is gonna ask about their diet and exercise it's her job god

Today I found a cheap old used-bookstore-stickered western paperback under a table outside the library in the same way you might find an unwanted puppy outside an animal shelter

I am once again asking you to make The Weyoun Show

lol

Do the Collapse is an actual contender for best Guided by Voices record tbh

Remember in the 90s when action movies went out of their way to guarantee the audience didn't think their heroes were gay? So anyway "Wood" eh?

Happy birthday to lindsey buckingham who has the dubious honor of being one of my favorite producers while also being someone I'm glad never had a career as a producer

I was gonna truth universally acknowledged but that's lowest hanging first line fruit probably

A throng of bearded men, in sad-colored garments and gray, steeple-crowned hats, intermixed with women, some wearing hoods, and others bareheaded, was assembled in front of a wooden edifice, the door of which was heavily timbered with oak, and studded with iron spikes. Congress has not authorized th

The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel. Congress has not authorized the use of military force

This isn’t just “hey, I like this other old artist from the 20th century”. It’s about erasure of Black artists — again — and the difference between a billionaire buying off _and rewarding_ those who owned her masters, and someone *actually fighting* those who controlled their master recordings.

BESIDES WHICH the stakes for Prince could not have been higher. For a solid decade from 93 to 03 people bent over backward to find a way to call him crazy or uppity in so many words because of his fighting. The legacy isn't just music, he's the giant on whose shoulders people like t swift stand

One way of thinking about the AI bubble is that it's the final gasp of a grift based on specialized GPU's instead of tulips, a logical continuation from crypto and NFT's and the metaverse. Like, there's nowhere else for it to go, no other magical use for this shit other than as electronic waste.

Watched an old Patton Oswalt bit about Bill Alexander and looked him up and happened upon this one where he's like "well my mom said I'd die poor and I hated myself my whole life but you people love me" and you know what I do youtu.be/ExmWbC2I_Qg?...

Americans think death is a bad choice some people make

I understand when/that a media franchise has its hooks in you But can't we just, without judgement in either direction, move on? Can we treat stuff like sweet valley high or goosebumps? Nobody's ever said I'm doing myself a disservice by not still paying attention to those things

Pharmacists who recommend homeopathy should be willing to accept as payment envelopes that once contained money. - @davidjuurlink.bsky.social

"Selling Out Is Bad" is a valuable concept and despite all the baggage and bullshit and elitism it could contain it's actually really good to reinforce the ideal that having integrity when it matters, especially when it hurts, is what good/cool people do. Should be adapted instead of jettisoned.
