Dario Argento's Little Shop Of Horrors

bluesky — i am talking to you, all of you — need to internalize this and you need to tell everyone you know this. shampoo more expensive? republicans. burgers more expensive? republicans. beer more expensive? republicans.

Didn't he used to post his own stuff? Has he hit the stage of dementia that he can't do that anymore? This shocks me more then I thought it would.

Tonight on the Twilight Zone we got a creepy kid that remembers all sorts of shit about you.

People act like Mamdani isnt replicatable but he sort of is. He hustled and put in the foot traffic, when presented the opportunity he built bridges with others... like Landry. His charisma might not be something everyone has but his love of the city is. If you love your town it shows.

"Give us a Mamdani." What a pathetic, sniveling attitude. The NYC DSA didn't beg and plead for a candidate like Oliver Twist. They organized and beat everyone else! No one's going to give us power. If we want power, we have to seize it.

Since we're all talking about dogpiles now, and I had mentioned my own experience dealing with them a few times in the last couple days, I figured I'd write a longer thread explaining my experiences with them and specifically why they're specifically worse than just "a bunch of people being mean"

Idk between grandpa writing racist chick tracts, dad being such a dick his neighbors randomly assault him and son thinking being Jewish is an insult I'm starting to notice a pattern here

Didn't Ron Paul have an antisemitic newsletter/zine at some point?

Dang I lost my enclose.horse streak

When democrats come back into power they should immediately start screaming about greedy gas companies and remove every subsidy the industry gets from every level of government. "We lowered your taxes and they choose to screw you harder. Lets build more mass transit and screw them back."

If not being consistently seeing patients is enough to not really be a doctor, then is the fact that Politico never engages with journalism mean we shouldn't call them journalists?

Don't assume that I don't know how to read merely because I've massively misinterpreted what you wrote. I actually understood it perfectly, I'm just also annoying

How much credit do you give to someone how means well and tries hard but sucks at his job? What if they are in managment?

People pick up on this, especially when the stakes are high and they take a knee or are just simply unprepared when getting pushback.

one theme running through toby's essay that i think deserves more emphasis is this: reactionary centrists like starmer are simultaneously bullying towards their own supporters and grovelling towards their opponents. it is this abject lack of self-respect that makes them seem so weak

I do not like the idea that we spend ANY of our political capital on lowering taxes anywhere. I think at most dems should talk about redistributing the tax burden... from property taxes to land value tax... from income to capital gains... but I don't see why that should take stage over CORRUPTION.

This looks like it should be on a shitty pulp sci fi book cover. Not done by someone who cares about visual mediums.

i genuinely, truly hate them for what they’ve done and any plan for getting us out of this that requires millions of people to pretend they don’t hate the people who put us here is masturbatory make-believe

i’m not a “the framers in their infinite wisdom” guy but they did foresee this particular problem arising and we used the tools they wrote up to respond to this over 150 years ago. the plain text of the constitution demands that republicans be banned from federal office

politicians & press alike insist we can never tell anti-immigrant voters they're wrong—but they are, & we should! my latest for @liberalcurrents.com www.liberalcurrents.com/respecting-r...

I love the classic post of white guy speaking for <oppressed minority>. Especially when followed up by him blocking all evidence given that upsets his priors and ignoring many of <group> saying they hate being infantilized.

So this Twilight Zone episode, A Nice Place To Visit, about the guy who realizes he is in hell because he gets what he wants and wins at the casino all the time ... Don't think that would work on a Factorio player.

Sioux Falls South Dekota should not exist.

He needs to go. Every single Democrat who isn't willing to play hardball needs to go immediately. Stop fucking around. This is real. How many more people have to die.

If your business model is algo based no brain emotion slop how do you compete with shrimp jesus?

Not enough of you have seen The Return Of The Living Dead and it shows. It has Linnea Quigley and that is reason enough to watch it.

Its 2-4-5 Trioxin. It was created by the Darrow Chemical Company as a military herbicide.

I disagree with this. The Republican Party (MAGA-Trumpist) believes there is one other ideology, Islamo-Bolshevism. The Republican Party (MAGA-Carlsonism) believes there is one other ideology, Judeo-Bolshevism.

I know it's been said a million times but honestly, honestly, the US-Israeli war on Iran is genuinely one of the most fucked up things I have seen in international affairs in my life. It is genuinely shocking to me, in a way I think it would be bad to lose sight of, just how bad this has been.

I think he will get convicted of something but if any group can fuck up the prosecution its this set of clowns.

Oh damn another banger. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mThn...

This is an extremely good short about Foucault's Order of Things. Its only like 10 minutes. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TbH...

I wish you well in your adult literacy journey

Me and friends used to do a bit at the lunch table of doing spoken word versions the latest trash pop songs. If i had a podcasting voinlce I would be subjecting you all to terrible terrible number ones from the 2010s.

I forgot which one but some comedian talked about how fluid punching up was. He gave the example of a white guy being hassled at the DMV. It didn't matter if the person hassling him was a black trans disabled person. In that moment the DMV worker has the power of God over him so thats punching up.

The thing about bluesky is I am learning that yes every one of those assholes did believe everything they claimed about Anita Sarkeesian. It wasn't a smoke screen. The instigators knew it was a lie but past that first circle they actually believed it completely and unironically.

This would be a good habit in general for peoples mental hygiene.

Yes appealing to MTG is more offensive than Cheney.

Reading this article made me come to a realization about my father and why he can't handle cognitive dissonance, can't handle disagreement with other people, and can't deal with conflict except by changing the subject. He grew up in the backstory of this www.texasmonthly.com/news-politic...

Jews are not at fault for antisemitism, but mischaracterizing legitimate criticism of Israel as antisemitism actively hurts the fight against real antisemitism in the US right now, and we should say so.

There is real rising antisemitism in the US right now, including on the left, as even left-wing Jews will tell you. Meanwhile, this editorial spends most of its time complaining about Democrats voting to block weapon sales to Israel, which is not antisemitism. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/10/o...

I wish I had the space to do model trains

There are so many insane wildly misleading stories coming out about data centers almost every day now that I'm mostly having to give up on commenting on them to focus on actually getting blog posts out, but it feels like a tsunami. This is one of them. Will go into it in a thread below.

If you want to know why some of us lefty Jews were uncomfortable with all the defenses of Graham Platner and his Nazi flirtations, it was never just about Platner himself. It’s because one of the most prominent left-wing Platner defenders has now moved onto defending MTG.

I am still seeing hacked accounts on spamming here. I thought that calmed down but I guess not.

I don’t think it’s sufficient for Democratic officials to treat these rulings like partisan acts from an out of control activist court. They should be regarded as part of a criminal conspiracy against the republic.

bluesky early adopters: burn in hell! bluesky mod team: I'LL MEET YOU THERE MOTHERFUCKER!

The decoder ring, I think, is that we're already in a legitimacy crisis
