Me when the grocery store is out of Cherry Float Coke Zero

it's actually wild to watch people take "the govt coordinated reactions to the shooting because the president only cares about his ballroom" and turn it into "they did a false flag shooting attack to get the ballroom", can we please not

It's my birthday. I'm gonna plug some stuff to feel like a special little birthday boy and you can't get mad at me

🙏RIP Clavicular🙏

We’re on strike today! Support our fight for a fair contract by NOT visiting the @propublica.org website or engaging with ProPublica stories today. Tell ProPublica’s management you won’t cross the picket line: actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...

the arc of American history is long but it bends, confusingly, towards Donald Trump getting shot and killed for being a pedophile by a guy who voted for him to stop the pedophiles and who is, himself, a pedophile

remember regardless of whats happening in the world the most important thing to use youre time and energy on is getting into fights with people on the internet

now that we don't have any oil we have no choice but to accelerate woke energy. you will put up the wind turbines. you will harness the power of the sun. you want treats? say the pronouns bitch

the US & israel kicked this off unprovoked by attacking a school full of kids, i'm not sure why the fuck i'm supposed to see a headline about their murder infrastructure being destroyed and think "oh no, what a bad development"

I got promoted into youth services at the library and the youth immediately cursed me with plague and pox

really speaks to the sad state of journalism that a reporter wouldn’t just ask this slobbering moron what one thing has to do with the other.

i don’t even understand why people are talking about kamala harris at all today. beyond the indomitable human need to armchair quarterback i mean. ‘she would have—‘ ok but it doesn’t matter rn. blink twice if you get that it doesn’t matter rn

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

a) she should be disqualified from her master's program and blacklisted from any creative industries b) oh my god you'd have to kill me before I admitted this, let alone went on to say I'm still using this shit

I feel this way about pretty much all vaccine-preventable infectious diseases. You shouldn't be allowed to dump cyanide into municipal drinking water and you shouldn't be allowed to recreationally spread viruses around shared public spaces.

I need folks to understand this. The idea that local police forces will intervene at scale against ICE is a utopian fantasy totally disconnected from how policing has always worked

I know I didn't publish anything this year but what if I got a hugo nomination anyway? Like as a treat

(1996)

"Sure, ICE is bad, but we need to deport illegal immigrants" No you don't. If immigration enforcement leads to concentration camps and roving death squads, maybe it's time to just get rid of the concept of illegal immigration entirely. You've tried it, it's a bad idea in practice, so bin it.

apologies for lack of alt text but i am yoo tired to type all this again @ogre.red thinks terms if service are bullshit and licensing for poetry is unimportant because "who would steal a poem" my advice would be to avoid doing business with this person

Venerable magazine Harper's Bazaar is running its short story contest again, with the winner receiving "the chance" of publication in the magazine. Just one catch: per the wording of the guidelines, _just by entering_ you transfer copyright ownership of your story to Harper's parent, Hearst. 1/3

i feel like we've had a good enough sample size for like two decades on whether or not body cameras on cops do anything whatsoever to stop them from killing people. the guy that murdered renee good was filming it on his phone for fun!

"ICE has definitely gone too far but we still n-" no we don't. Whatever the purist version of what you think their job is supposed to be is, we don't need them for that. We can just get rid of all of it and put that money towards some, anything else.

The next person I see say that "all of this" is to distract from the Epstein files haha I'm *going* to find where you live and shit on your porch and car.

the "and you're surprised by this?" guys have never been less vital than they are right now

they’re abducting our neighbors and putting them in concentration camps and they’ll empty a whole goddamn magazine into you while you’re lying on the ground if you don’t cheer them on while they’re fucking doing it.

Happy birthday Bob! This great ape is 20 today 🦧 Bob is known throughout the Oregon Zoo for his unique bond with 3-year-old Jolene. Though male orangutans typically don't play much of a role in parenting, Bob is an active father who can often be seen playing with and caring for his daughter 💕

If there's anyone who still thinks this will all blow over when our big beautiful president Leaves Us, you have to realize the Republican Party is crawling with fascists

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

it's never the crazy weird conspiracy theory weapons. they are poisoning you with toxins they are well-documented to have. they are beating you with ordinary sticks and shooting you with ordinary guns the only conspiracy is how they gained legal immunity to do this

everybody in the trump administration looks like this

When I look at fascism throughout history I regularly think "this happened bc the population protested and resisted the secret police too much. I wish they had chilled out, demonstrated proper civility so as not to earn the already occurring oppression, and let the fascist lose the next election

Good summary of “don’t give him what he wants” from relatively comfortable white liberals.

when ICE asks you questions about your neighbors, you've never met your neighbors in your life. you've never even seen them from afar. neighbors? what neighbors?

Keeping at it in spite of everything

Who coined the idea of "good storyteller bad author" I'm gonna fuckin kill them

I know we’re all having fun here but as a straight man I feel like I have to say this is exactly what we all look like

my man, you’re talking about the people who killed George Floyd

Feels really surreal to still be going to rehearsal in north Portland today

*Border Patrol. And fucking unbelievable, they are using the same "they were trying to run us over" bullshit excuse ICE did yesterday

Republicans are Nazis. It’s a mirror. It’s the same thing. Republican officials are Nazi officials. Republican leaders are Nazi leaders. Republican propagandists are Nazi propagandists. Republican party members are Nazi party members. Republicans are Nazis.

I don’t know what to say except that human beings deserve better than whatever this is

🤨

Suck it coach david

After a long battle with neurological issues and the sudden steep decline of old age, we had to say goodbye to our sweet old man. Rest easy, Chip. I love you, old man.

What a view from my hotel room for this Christmas gig in Corvallis 😍
