It’s called elevated horror, T. It’s when the dracula is actually that your mom died.

I'm not a young man. I've been watching the weather for 50+ years. This may be the most significant winter storm I've seen.

there is a secret sauce that makes male video game characters irresistible to women (regardless of sexuality) and it is called “making them a little pathetic”

still one of my favorite tweets

he’s right

You cannot overstate how startling it is to see a politician just say the thing with clarity and poise. No fearful hemming. No overwrought qualifying down til it’s meaningless. No lingering sense that there is a loyalty to a donor class or an ideology of stasis that they’d never admit to.

Betrayed! By Mother Having A Shower

[wii sports resort result voice] dogshit!

I’ve got a strict no quote dunks policy on here so just imagine I’m quoting someone stupid I saw just now: okay dipshit

In a normal world this wouldn’t even be a thing

That has been made abundantly clear to those of us unemployed

I feel so sorry for people who are older than me and people who are younger than me and people who are my age.

Chat is it good when other world leaders can no longer believe that private messages will remain private?

“One notable MIT study found that 95 percent of companies that integrated AI saw zero meaningful growth in revenue. For coding tasks, one of AI’s most widely hyped applications, another study showed that programmers who used AI coding tools actually became slower at their jobs.”

get our asses

it's official: bluesky has its first thread-that-will-become-a-movie

I really like the word "grok." I've used it for years. I really love Stranger in the Strange Land. I really love Heinlein books. I hate that Elon Musk has co-opted it for CSAM and a wildly inaccurate online encyclopedia to the point where the word is going to mean the opposite of its definition.

Nothing quite like a financial incentive to kidnap people off the streets

Farmers love to act like they have no idea who’s responsible for their problems, like this guy speculating it must be some Washington functionary because he loves everything Trump does. He can’t bring himself to tell the truth because he loves white supremacy more than his own financial success.

if these small business tyrants and agriculture barons were real workers they wouldn't be given infinite latitude by liberal media where they air their regret for their own stupid choices. It's not elitist to look down at rich white landowners just because they have folksy accents and wear bluejeans

the perennial "is this a good replacement for twitter / can it become as big as twitter" discussion is so confused. hominids became bipedal about 7 million years ago. for most of the time since we did not have microblogging. it's not a necessity it's a habit, if it all goes away that's fine

well here's a crazy story

i let a lady with one item go ahead of me in line and she reacted like i offered to donate a kidney to her

COW TOOLS COW TOOLS COW TOOLS

hi I'm looking for mutuals and friends. I'm a trans woman, 33, autistic, living in the south east of England. I love trains, birds, history, music (Hyperpop+adjacent especially), reading, etc. I like going to museums and shows. just kind of lonely so would like onlines and irls to chat n stuff

Im really sorry to keep pushing this...still just $50 short, things are still going very poorly and it would be a huge help if we could get to this goal within the next couple days

The wild thing about aging is realizing how young you are. How little 40 years of life actually is.

Remember when it was gas stoves. These people obsess over the most inconsequential shit imaginable.

if you use doorbell cameras you are a fascist enabler

seriously though train your goddamn dogs 🫩 24/7 whining and barking? pissing and shitting in the house? jumping on people? they don’t even listen to you bc you never trained them to? and you expect other people to like or respect you? hmm

when i get elected i will make professional dog training courses free for everyone everywhere all the time. and mandatory. this is my campaign promise

MLK was only 39 when he was killed. Growing up, I thought that was old. But I’m 43 now and I’m stunned by the burden he shouldered at such a young age. I’m also a lot more aware of how hard it is, at any age, to carry the hopes and dreams of an oppressed people on your shoulders, as so many do.

replace rfk jr with this guy

it's MLK day! an interesting MLK fact: Martin Luther King Jr. kept a ton of guns around. you'd visit him and he'd move a gun to clear a chair for you. just because you do nonviolent protest doesn't mean you have to allow white-power terrorists to kick down your door and murder you & your family.

what is it with these guys and building fucking orbs for no reason

so like, Charlie Kirk was in a political marriage, secretly in love with Candace but couldn't due to the stigma for divorce and interracial marriage in their right-wing milieu, and then his wife murked him to take his job?

Fuck the flag, fuck the anthem, death to America

I can take all of them but not in a fight

Well, I'll be damned...

Hey, it’s your neighbor posting on Nextdoor. I know you’ll be shocked to hear this considering my posts from last week, the week before that, and every week prior, but my cat is missing. I swear he never does this

hello my darling friends!! you are so adored and cherished and held in the highest of esteem!! you are wonderful and witty and brilliant and creative and compassionate and lovely!! the world is so much richer for having you in it!!

I’ve tried very hard to engage with people in this community over the last 36 hours, but it’s clear that the culture here is corrosive and not interested in debate. It’s too bad, because my “Doctor Gizmo’s Patent Snake Oil Cure-All” is well worth the money, especially in this midst of this plague

remember when the height of absurdist comedy was parodying libertarians with memes about the third ammendment
