Social climbers 🐱🐈‍⬛️

quoting the dead is a fireable offense

Castellaneta's delivery of "Take thy BEAK from OUT my HEART" stays with me forever.

School shootings aren't as obviously part of a political program as, say, campaigns or bill passage, but like the firebombing of abortion clinics they function to constrain the safety of those deemed undesireable, to rob freedom and peace, to force all life in defiance of shooter to be lived in fear

Hi, I know we as individuals have a responsibility to stand up to authoritarianism too, but also… what the FUCK are our elected representatives DOING right now???

Government so small it’s literally just one dude.

Making them wear high-visibility vests over camo is such a good joke you couldn’t write it

when they give u a bag of potato chips and there are no potato chips in the bag

It’s giving Tutant Meenage Neetle Teetles

There has been a clear disturbance in the force with the neighborhood dogs lately and I finally saw the cause - a couple walking four Pomeranians.

Yesterday, I tried to use vaccines.gov and it said my zip code wasn’t real

Hey I just met you and I'm a whale But here's my number So call me, Ishmael

Drop an old person that you’re going to turn into in the future.

Law firms, universities, media companies, and now banks. If people don’t understand what’s happening to our country, it’s because they don’t want to.

i'm not saying politics was great before, because it wasn't, but social media destroyed whatever was left of it. we now have legions of politicians at every level of government spending their mental energy thinking of "witty" retorts to bad bills and statements instead of, you know, doing anything

Freaking obsessed with Silo. I read all the books like 10 years ago and forgot how good they start. I love me a good “base station under siege” sci fi and strong female leads.

🧵 It’s time for all of us to stand up against trump’s Gestapo. Not everyone can confront them face to face… so I’m compiling a list here of different ways you can engage to help. Please add more ideas in the comments and we’ll keep expanding the thread together. +

It's the "adding missing information" bit that gets me. Only a true genius such as Musk could look upon the entire corpus of human knowledge and go "there's stuff missing and I know what it is".

I am surrounded by people who are outsourcing their own thinking to ChatGPT and they are quickly and obviously becoming dependent on it for even the most banal tasks. Once again, the "figuring it out" is the important part. Yes, you can use a crane to lift weights but you will not get stronger

“if they can do this to a senator they can do this to anybody” they already are doing it to everybody wtf do you think weve been saying

Wat

Good morning

Alright guys this was all actually a demonstration on the benefits of men going to therapy but we'll stop now

*TMBG voice* Florida Man, Florida Man…

I say without any irony or sarcasm: yes, thank you, we want parliamentary sabotage. Again, I'm 100% serious. It's one of the few things a minority party can do, and which Republicans themselves did. It's essential.

Miriana Conte might be the best singer of the night, non-opera edition. originally she sang it as "Serving Kant" and eurovision wouldn't let her do it :(

@shelleyelwood.bsky.social do not even attempt this, it’s nonstop strobe lights

Who up watching Eurovision? Tommy Cash from Estonia… I am shook

It's a Boeing so maybe it's really a gift for all of US

In case you’ve ever wondered, @piegoblin.bsky.social is indeed as lovely as she seems.

A reminder that debating Stephen Miller — who is not a lawyer and is not making legal arguments, he is spouting propaganda — is a win for him.

I asked my husband to deal with carpenter bees on the front porch and he bought a racquetball racquet for a dollar and hung it on the door.

I invented a new phone to help save time in the morning

There are a lot of bad things happening all at once, and it’s overwhelming to think about how to meet moments like this. Jean says to focus on 1 or 2 things that you care about, understand fairly well, and are either local or involve a topic where you’re likely to have influence and find community

I am once again begging people to realize that the law is words on paper and is not self executing. "That's illegal" is not and has never been synonymous with "that's impossible" or "that can't be done." "That's illegal" means "you might get in trouble for that depending on who you are."

People use “cat like” to describe the sleek and sinuous but look at the basketball head my boy has

Look, this is gonna go one of two ways: my way or your way with an endless barrage of thinly veiled suggestions so

American conservatives are just urban enough to be removed from and ignorant of the farm and just rural enough to be scared of the city.

This is what we like to call a “butt hug.” They have just invented it.

When I was a child, the computers were the ones who would scream when we got online

Well, fuck

UPDATE: ICE is wildly unconcerned about where this man is and no one will tell me, his registered attorney. The universal answer so far is "let's wait and see where he ends up." This is deeply off. We would have more rights at this point if UPS had lost a pair of shoes I'd just bought from Zappos

Boycotting the grocery store until they start buying an equivalent volume of groceries from me

Holy shit that was amazing.

Fuck, I was looking forward to being rid of Stefanik here

Stevie is so fluffy and cute now that it hurts to look at her. (Stolen valor photos from spouse)

Has anyone used “carpetbagger” as a term for Elon Musk and his tech cronies’ behavior yet? And, I hope that is not an insensitive comparison, but it seems apt.

again, I think a major problem with America is that a critical mass of voters and elites have convinced themselves they can't die even if they stab themselves—that it is impossible to elect a government that actually makes their lives worse so its all just a game
