We missed April Fool's, but we're here for 4/20 this year. Borealis Capps delivers a new column exploring weed use in anime, as well as the subculture around cannabis usage in Japan that's formed over the years. It's a fun, light read, and we hope you enjoy it #anime #weed

Sometimes I see someone mention the seminal post-rock band “Gang of Four” and remember their drummer, Hugo Burnham, was my Freshman Seminar professor in college, and we had really good rapport.

It's wild how much my mom hates Trump considering how much she and him have in common. Well, I guess it's not a lot of things. They're both just massive incorrigible narcissists who cannot be shown in any meaningful or useful way how ritually awful they are as people.

Lol

I have no real ill will towards bluesky but it's worth saying that "mastodon.social is being DDOS'd, so much for your ~true~ decentralization" fails to land when, in cases like this, 75% of the fediverse remains operational, vs. -1.4%- of bluesky. mastodon.social and bsky.app are not comparable.

Montreal winning in Tampa after the Lightning fans chanted the USA chant is just... je ne sais quoi

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

Hahaha I fuckin’ hate the Bruins man.

As a non Sabres fan, that was the most playoff hockey shit I’ve seen in a dog’s age. Brilliant stuff. #LetsGoBuffalo

BUFFALOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Fuck.

I hate looking at a playoff series like Tampa vs Montreal and all I can think is “can they both lose?”

Here’s the situation: I lived in Boston for 11 years. I have openly supported the Patriots during the Brady days. But I simply cannot root for the Bruins. I _hate_ this team with every rough and ragged fiber in my body. I have never even _been_ to Buffalo but I am rooting for the Sabres here.

Don't hold phone. Hold bird.

Studios operating unsustainably don’t deserve to exist. An industry constantly moving the goalposts on sustainability does not deserve to exist.

I regret to say that real Sarah Palin has not really joined the rats abandoning the sinking ship named Trump, which has crashed into an iceberg named Trump, but can I still make my fracking/fractured joke with this apology about being taken in when I posted it before?

Exxon Valdez nuts

You can vibe code a malfunctioning website but did you know you can also vibe code hundreds of scripts and agents to DDOS any website on the internet?

Script kiddies getting fancy today.

My day job (self-employed) includes wandering around the internet and keeping track what people say about PbtA. Occasionally a new one will pop up. Lately I've been seeing "in a PbtA game, you shouldn't be rolling dice that often anyway." I'm like, you shouldn't what now? Where did THIS come from?

Not sure I will ever forgive the ADL for muddying the waters on what is and isn’t antisemitism after Oct 7, b/c holy shit is it harder than ever to call out real antisemitism these days.

I finished a woodworking project for the first time in a while. Salt cellar. Poplar, walnut, and white oak. All hand tools. I thought this one was gonna be easy, but lemme tell ya fam, it was NOT.

This is stunning.

I went on a Big Walk!

30 years ago today, Principal Skinner purchased fast food to disguise as his own cooking at an unforgettable luncheon with Superintendent Chalmers. #TheSimpsons episode “22 Short Films About Springfield” first aired April 14, 1996.

I hate my mother.

shoutout to this sticker I saw in Portland

I hope Jeff Bezos collapses dead and no one around him cares

If a trans woman won a golf tournament the headline would read “Transgender Woman Beats Women With Golf Club”

Wild that Altman is being sued by his sister for repeated sexual abuse and that doesn’t come up in basically every conversation about him. I get that it’s alleged but if that shit was happening to someone else I feel like that would come up, particularly if that person had a history of lying a lot.

Puff pieces about trans men in sports read like, “half his team didn’t know he was trans; he’s succeeding where people said he couldn’t.” Puff pieces about trans women in sports don’t exist, but they’d read, “everyone thought she’d eat her teammates, but she bravely lost big time.”

Another day, another article showcasing “multiple transgender athletes speaking out against transgender bans,” and it’s exclusively transmasculine people. Bonus points they’re responding specifically to claims about trans women’s bodies as if those apply to them.

The only inaccuracy to Piker's statement is that it's actually the US government that's the biggest terrorist organization in the entire world, but that conversation makes y'all sad so

What if my gender was a 20 year old boy trapped in a trans woman’s body?

Yesterday I was 38 Today I am 39

28 years ago today, Homer Simpson created his breakout postmodern sculpture “Le Grille.” #TheSimpsons episode “Mom and Pop Art” first aired April 11, 1999.

Here’s a fuzzy fatso helpin’ out my bloobs

I transplanted so much shit recently. Pic thread.

you consider the few things that have pushed these guys into action, and the many things that haven't, and increasingly coming to the conclusion that no matter what the issue you care about is, you need to jam up airports

Okay guess what I’m gonna say next, “sid hoffman or sid frenchman.”

Love a large scale power outage first thing in the morning.

Um, _I_ watch hentai for the articles.

I'm gonna turn the stream on and just fuck around in Pmon Champs. Stop by if you wanna FIGHT ME! twitch.tv/ItsAratinga

My front yard is functionally my medicinal garden. So far I have: Yarrow Pearly Everlasting Arnica Self-heal Elderberry Lavender Calendula and Roman Chamomile I want to add echinacea and a few other things, but it’s honestly my favorite part of the whole plot.

Grocery store music today went: Losing My Religion -> Free Falling -> Bleed American Whiplash city here.

This is Cathy Rutherford, Glasgow born trade unionist. I love this clip, but even more for knowing that it stems from a core of lifelong political activism

The nerfs to status types and overall small pool of allowed items is really throwing me for a loop so I’m basically pretending I know nothing and just learning the meta as a black box. Wild stuff.

Okay just had my first butt clencher match. I lost by the skin of my teeth, but man did that fight have some real Moments.
