YESSSSSSS

it is amazing how many of these guys love to make tough boastful statements then at the slightest sign of pushback back away like little bitches

I almost forgot last week’s pizza too! Corn, cherry tomatoes, and arugula. Yes, I like veggie pizzas. Had a smidge too much going on topping-wise, but still delicious. 🍽️🍜 #pizzanerd

Couple of recent tasty eats: salad of black beans, corn, cherry tomatoes, green onions & Fritos. And yesterday’s chicken enchilada soup in made in the slow cooker, a long-time favorite. 🍜🍽️

Day 264: Important Scientific Documentation

"We spent six years thinking about a fascist takeover of a galaxy far, far away. Six years thinking about ordinary beings as an authoritarian regime comes in for the kill. Many people saw parallels between Andor and the real world. I see them as well, particularly in the events of the last week."

Oh this is a tough one. Probably Singles? But the Dazed & Confused soundtrack is kind of perfect too.

y'all. I am Team Beans 110%. I just finished this one last night and it's absolutely my new favorite and i am telling EVERYONE!

Dang it, now I want some

From 1984-2011, this downtown dive was a venue where, impossibly, musical legends, locals, and total unknowns shared a stage—as well as its disgusting bathroom.

The Dipshit Paradox "Good faith requires an assumption of both awareness and good intent—yet some propositions are so divorced from reality that assuming good intent means also assuming unawareness, while assuming awareness means also assuming bad intent." www.the-reframe.com/the-dipshit-...

BREAKING: Disney+ is to replace the two-season run of Andor with a recut version that runs for only five minutes, and is just Mon Mothma apologising profusely to Darth Vader for any inconvenience, and letting him have whatever he wants.

It was the dumbest of times. And it was also still the dumbest of times.

this is incredibly true and tracks with a basic dynamic we've seen all along: the people who were cowed into submission by Trump's win were elites. regular people have never given an inch

great news! you're not actually seeing karl rove, john yoo, and david frum criticize the administration's lawlessness more stridently than dem leadership. you, reader, were infected with rabies by a brown bat 36 hours ago and this is all just the virus working its way through your nervous system

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

more than a decade ago, one Fraction-Aja Hawkeye panel captured the vibe of this entire era we're living in now

I don’t know when it’s going to pop for a lot of normies that they are living under an authoritarian regime, but the cancellation of popular TV shows that make fun of the administration might do it www.vulture.com/article/abc-...

It is the job of the Democratic party to sell and defend the policies that most Democratic voters want, not to present a candidate slate that is palatable to moderate Republicans who might switch if they hate their own candidate enough.

It's wild to me how ostensibly smart people cannot/could not/will not see what is so obvious. @mmasnick.bsky.social nails it. And my hunch is we'd be a better society if the Very Serious People with the Very Serious Ideas opened their fucking eyes. www.techdirt.com/2025/09/17/t...

The remarks weren’t “about Charlie Kirk,” they were about how this administration is using Kirk’s death as an excuse to shut down critics … and they responded by proving him completely correct.

“ABC and Disney’s silencing of Kimmel — over a highly innocuous comment — is just the latest sign of how terrified major corporations and media companies have grown of the second Trump administration…

Retweet if u agree

Keto freaks are something else.

got my covid/flu vaccine scheduled for next week at Kaiser, barring any calamities between now and then.

“The pace of oppression outstrips our ability to understand it. And that is the real trick of the Imperial thought machine. It's easier to hide behind 40 atrocities than a single incident” Every day this line feels more and more relevant.

jokes about the confederacy are always funny, but you gotta think about it in terms of "Supernatural lasted 5x longer than the Confederacy", which is absolutely hysterical

ugh, of course I couldn't make it today. UGH!

If you place a camera in the lion habitat … They’re going to turn it into a giant cat toy

it's starting to be dark when i wake up and i am NOT READY.

Hangowt with an legge owt

Chris Cornell was probably the worst. I couldn't listen for the longest time. #2 was probably Tom Petty. To this day I still get a bit choked up when i hear Wildflowers.

This was a fun riff on succotash. @ranchogordo.bsky.social pinto beans, fresh corn, onion, poblano, some cherry tomatoes from my garden (meant to have more but forgot & ran out of time), garlic, bacon. 🍽️🍜

The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.

This week’s pizza is a cheese pizza, but the sauce is a roasted cherry tomato sauce made with my orange paruche tomatoes. So delicious! #pizzanerd 🍽️🍜

I think, in light of all the rotten people out there spreading terf nonsense, today would be a good day to support trans creators. Trans folk, please add your links to this thread for books or crafts or whatever you do!

It's seven years since we posted on Twitter about how kids kept coming into the library asking if we had any books about FORTNITE. We didn't back then, and we'd never heard of it so we tried asking what it was.

I SEE NEITHER CHEWIN NOR LICKIN THIS CAT IS GUARDIN THAT CHICKEN CASE CLOSE

Today, WA joins CA and OR in forming the West Coast Health Alliance to ensure our residents continue receiving science-based #PublicHealth recommendations. This partnership ensures our states will continue working with trusted medical orgs to protect our communities' health and safety.

Anyway, read books, folks. Or else you’ll end up like this guy.

Dammit, I wish the side effects didn’t make this one a no go for me.

I never once actually wanted grapefruit until I couldn’t have it.
