Real Estate: Great For Streaming TV And Jerking Off

“Juror 96, let me buy you a steak, and let’s talk …”

I kind of just realized what the real complaint is: Haidt et al dont want college kids boycotting their talks or protesting them b/c that's their speaker fees at risk. This is all self-serving. None of these pundits is really interesting in free speech, liberalism, 'conversation.'

She abused her library privledges to study after closing, getting a thrill from imagining she might get caught. It didn't fully set in until the night she forgot to lock up that she actually could be

Started doing and sharing more nsfw stuff so happy to get some boosts

a ”funny” situation arises where marginalized people are simultaneously often hired ONLY to write about their identity but also not hired to report on anything that’s “too close” to their identity. leaving them chronically underemployed and broke!

i've said it before but there needs to be serious congressional regulation of clerkships at the federal level

Rick Riordan *consistently* uses his platform to uplift writers who otherwise traditionally would not get support tbh, and he has been doing it for years

Due to the changes at Kickstarter no longer launching our campaign next week. Please RT this statement and encourage other studios and devs to speak up too.

so much damage is going to come from that glib little aside ugh. it's going to take more than a statement to fix this.

What did people think he meant when he said Republicans just had to elect him this one time and then they would fix it so no one had to vote anymore? Like what other explanation was there?

you know how, in the era of D&D where 1 gold piece meant 1 exp, your character's carry weight was actually measured in coins? do that but for bullets in a post-apoc world

This is good (way better than the VA Speaker of the House conceding to the court).

They put one of yours in the hospital, you put out a statement about how disappointed you are. That’s the centrist way.

So, yesterday, we had a training in our library, about working with homeless people. The presenter was a cop, talking about how it can be a stressor to lose your job, even though you've got six months of savings. I did not murder him with my mind, but not from lack of trying.

Never met Tony Peters, don’t know who he is, but a million years ago on Facebook he posted this and I don’t think anyone’s ever put it better.

Star Wars 🤝 Masters of the Universe

this is the closest I've ever come to actually suggesting a "one neat trick" suggestion for anything, but I'm so serious here. the Virginia Constitution gives the legislature the power to set retirement ages for judges "REGARDLESS OF THE TERM TO WHICH ELECTED OR APPOINTED." make it 54 right now.

Zelensky issued an official presidential decree authorizing Russia to hold its Victory Day parade in Moscow tomorrow. He included the exact coordinates of Red Square. That's it. A+ trolling.

Braving the sorceress' tower with sword in hand, but it turns out I've strayed into an Arthurian milieu, so instead of subjecting me to humiliating and vaguely kinky transformations she just exploits a technicality in some long-forgotten oath of honour to send me on an incredibly inconvenient quest.

I have to receive permission to self-publish books for less than 600$ a year.

If the Democratic Party were smart (yeah, I know), they would take a page out of the Mamdani campaign. Door to door in Republican districts, town halls, all pointing out that our tax dollars are going to ballrooms, forever wars, ICE, and not to affordability and decent jobs and health care.

To bring a smile to your face, here’s an ancient Egyptian dog figurine, a very good boy for some 3,400 years! 🐾🐕❤️ This lovely leaping dog opens and closes its mouth as if barking by using a lever below its chest. The Met 📷 by me #Archaeology

The Spoose, a trans man, had a hystorectomy. He just texted me "I put the 'his' in hystorectomy." In other news, he's making progress on his dad jokes.

There were few things Google could do to force users off of Chrome faster than this. "We put an entire AI thing on your machine without telling you" I bet the entire marketing department for Chrome is absolutely melting down right now.

We bought an expensive Dyson vacuum cleaner, and there was no instruction booklet. Instead of instructions they wanted us to create an account and connect the vacuum to it, so it could track and relay information about how it was being used? WHY? I JUST WANT TO CLEAN STUFF

TRUTH

Still trying. If I get asked to put in a ticket one more time I’m going to finally lose it. We have a million ticket systems for every fucking thing at this point and no one uses them. The ticket I put in to facilities a month ago for hornets in a classroom…still open.

I don’t want Amazon to offer 1-hour shipping. I want Amazon to offer employees opportunities for shitting. Thank you.

Here’s how the AI Boom, such as it is, has impacted my life: it has been used as an excuse to lay off my friends for bot equivalents that never came. It has made mass culture and art immeasurably worse. I have a stalker with AI psychosis. So, no, I don’t more data centers. I want less of all that.

Lucky for Maine voters, I include codifying Roe, passing the John Lewis Voting Act, holding the administration accountable AND Supreme Court reform all in my the core priorities listed on my website. I'm also the only candidate in the U.S. Senate race to be endorsed by @citizensimpeachment.com

Good. Don't come. Make FIFA and their "peace prize" despot the laughing stock they deserve to be. www.npr.org/2026/05/04/n...

May the 4th be with you!

There is no "light side" of the Force. There is "The Force" and the Dark Side, which is a corruption of it. Anakin brought balance by removing the large Dark Side corruption, not by killing Jedi.

To say out loud TO BILL MAHER

Richard Dawkins right now

Kinda tired of the "historians will say they're close friends" meme. Babe, we've been screaming about how gay everyone is for *decades*. Funding for history keeps getting cut as a result. There are entire moral panics about it. You just haven't read any history since highschool.

"Congratulations, noble prince. Your act of true love has broken the curse!" "Act of ... I just shut the bedroom door so I wouldn't wake you up." "I think you misunderstand just how low the bar is."

This has been always been one of the weird things about “we should run <X> like a business”: most business are poorly run and rightfully fail

Now, the other interesting thing here is that US automakers favor tariffs on Chinese vehicles but disfavor tariffs on Chinese inputs to their own vehicles. Which, perhaps, tells you something about how tariffs work.

A friend who worked in Albany once told me: “Liberals always think there’s some bureaucratic fix—independent commissions, etc—that will make democracy fair. But the GOP will ratfuck anything. The only thing that matters is to organize and take power.”

There needs to be serious accountability for deaths in ICE detention.

I point to Gingrich and the "Contract On America", but respect other viewpoints as to the timing.

Bipartisanship is HOW Dems DO RACISM it is intentional as are the outcomes

I vividly remember when Dems claimed they were caught off guard by the Roe reversal while everyone i know who halfway pays attention to the SC knew that decision was coming. They had no contingency for something we all knew was the goal.

On this day 70 years ago-May 1, 1956-the polio vaccine was first made widely available to the public. The vaccine’s developer, Dr. Jonas Salk, did not patent the vaccine so that it would remain available to as many people as possible in the US and internationally. Image: Harvey Georges/AP.

Literally the day after we find out only 7000 people care enough to pay to hear what this guy thinks 👍
