i want to live in a world where such things are lauded professions

Thou laughest? Her Majesty hath violated Jester's Privilege and thou laughest?

They're cowards for not doing this.

even the biogirlies are saying it

Once again, the right is openly admitting that the entire focus on trans youth is to ultimately ban all gender affirming care for adults. All the credulous reporters and institutions that helped launder this right wing project are responsible. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

"The president is a denialer, and an angerer, and a bargainer. He doesn't believe in depressioning because he's never been an acceptancer. Not even with the diagnosis."

The New York Times is now blocking The Wayback Machine from accessing its articles. That means you'll no longer be able to view archived versions of NYT stories published in 2026 and beyond on archive.org. (All those posts you see tracking changes to NYT headlines and ledes? They relied on WBM).

If you think your day is going poorly I just saw a reply on this website where a guy was trying to argue about the evils of Castro before accidentally linking to a kardashian sex tape because some people very clearly masturbate while arguing online

Exactly one year ago today:

New York City, 2026. Rogue caddies roam the streets as the upper crust replaces them with autonomous robots in anticipation of actually paying fucking taxes. The subways are a driving range of misery.

They say romance is dead but the dive bar venue bathroom is saying something else.

SO FRIGGING COOL. "Gašper Beguš, a linguist at University of California, Berkeley who led the new paper, said that this level of complexity in sperm whale speech was beyond anything he had studied in other creatures, such as parrots and elephants."

Oh you asked Claude? Had a word with chatgpt? Yeah well I'm having a years long one way conversation with the clearly unattended Warp records demo email address

"Harvard is proud to announce the launch of the Dole Food Company Department in Guevarist Studies"

THAT is NOT what a vibe session is... Americans deserve proper sex-ed.

"all our cost are belong to you" is so tired

Every time outlook tries to correct me to make the email more concise I become exponentially more obtuse. Maybe I want that the adjective needs its own descriptor. What the fuck do you know about conversational aplomb? You'll never be Clippy, you fuck.

Nelnet is using psychological warfare against me. My password's invalid every single time I try to make a payment, so this unpleasant extortion lasts 25 minutes longer than it should all while ensuring I understand deep down that I am insane & even if I wasn't, it isn't up to me whether or not I am.

AI at the dentist dreamt a cavity at my lower left gumline at the backend of 19.

I like to remind my students that Jackie Robinson RE-broke the color barrier because >50 yrs previously there were Black players in the Majors, but the teams actively chose to segregate. Segregation & acts of racism are affirmative choices made by & for the benefit of White people & institutions.

The boutique wellness app the health insurance through my job provides isn't putting me in sleep in time to be a productive team member.

Imagine if you will, the perfect business. What does it look like? Does it have employees?🙂‍↔️ No. It doesn't, does it? Does it have customers?🙂‍↔️ Yup, it's a big no on that too. Does it involve you giving me money?🙂‍↕️ Now that's an interesting thought, isn't it? Is it in perpetuity?🙂‍↕️ How else could it be?

Ok let's try a different approach. Picture John Jacob. Now say to yourself, "this woman's name is Jingleheimer, and she's Schmidt." Are you with me so far?

Use bad photoshop like the ancestors did

Thread. If it doesn't have a librarian, it's not a library but a warehouse for books.

"A kneecapped Wayback Machine isn’t just bad news for accountability journalism—it will also be a blow to the legal system, as pages archived by the tool are frequently cited as evidence in litigation across the United States."

You can tell he really misses Jeffrey.

A worker died at an Amazon warehouse in Oregon last week. For more than an hour, workers were instructed to continue working as the man lay dead. One worker wanted to help, but a manager told them to “Just turn around and not look. Let’s get back to work," according to @thewesternedge.bsky.social.

Ok, look. tbh I don't remember what I signed, but I 'm pretty sure there wasn't anything about this.

Trump's mad cause he really is more of a sleazy pope than a grimy prez & now he's fully realized he'll never to get try that fit.

Like it or not, that trans girl alone at the end of nitrous alley, crushed energy drink cans at her feet, turning blue on a balloon long empty is our Oracle of Delphi.

Think I'm about to watch every Preston Sturges flick in chronological order?
