Today we have learned that the UN does not have a comically long shepherd's crook.

i found the cure for autism it's called minding your fucking business

I just found out that one of my Internet doppelgangers died before Gmail even existed. His wife signed me up for a new mailing list last week. Why, lady. What the fuck.

Mine is That person has already proven they cannot read, more words will not help, discard. That person has already proven they cannot read, more words will not help, discard. That person has already proven they cannot read, more words will not help, discard.

One thing about living somewhere awful is that I have bone-deep confirmation of what I already knew about over- and under policing. Crime rates _will_ be low when you can't even file a report. I'm sure most of my neighbors don't see it, because nobody wants to think about where numbers come from.

Bluesky is simultaneously an unimportant ghost town and the source of all evil in the universe.

I know it's frustrating when lawyers point out when something the administration is doing is not legal. But responding with "the law doesn't matter anymore" is really unhelpful and defeatist. Clarifying the law is important because it reminds us not to comply in advance and to resist and take action

I know they removed the label in ~30 minutes, but this is one of those times when moderation should have stepped into the light and taken responsibility. Acknowledge it was wrong, prove they see why it was wrong, and make a convincing promise to patch their system against this TYPE of fuckup.

As the custodial child of a narcissist with rapidly advancing dementia and a sociopathic stroke victim with dementia, BOY am I seeing some familiar patterns. Even more so since the disappearance.

Earlier this year I downgraded to the "oh, you must be an unwashed poor" version of O365 to get rid of Copilot. It was back within a week, subscription be damned. This market is weird as shit.

What the fucking row of fucks sunning themselves on a log, @moderation.bsky.app Hide the image, sure, but that label is *vile*. Shame on you.

My husband works for a small company doing vital work. They have a DEDICATED SLACK CHANNEL for pet photos. I have to be bodily restrained from getting on there and demanding updates on the spherical ragdoll kitten. At my work, we just put the pet pics wherever.

Crucially, Mark Zuckerberg and his ilk trained those pigeons over the course of the last 15 years or so. and it is very hard to un-train a pigeon who has grown accustomed to getting some bread when he pecks a big red button labeled “midwit takes.”

So when do we talk about the Wall Street Journal employees who rushed the trans antifa narrative losing their jobs?

Unironically this, but go beyond the starter kit. Employ people who can teach kids how to play, embrace the suck, and get good at stuff. In Atlanta, I lived next to a skate park, and it would've been hella rad to see someone there, working for the city, teaching kids how to do ollies and flips.

Our thoughts are with his wife, a woman who knowingly married a neo-Nazi & lives well on the profits of his hatred

OTOH, respect to the brave soul who ducked moderation by complaining that her fellow commenters should honor Kirk's views on empathy.

Every centrist hagiographer: he said some very important stuff Everyone: oh, like what? Every centrist hagiographer: very important things Everyone: Can you repeat some of those things he said? Every centrist hagiographer, looking at their legal department frantically shaking their heads: no

I think it's something that the primary figures on the Right have never held a real job.

Here's a fun simp you can block bsky.app/profile/magi...

This is incredibly embarrassing for Wondery.

Okay, no, fuck you, whatever CD database Microsoft uses.

I went to my nominal work building for the first time this year. The entrance area reeked of cigarettes and I felt like I'd fallen through a time portal.

What in the tongue-bathing stenographic fuck is the first half of this article, CNN?

I've been vaccinating against all the stuff we didn't used to worry about, like polio and measles, while it's still free-ish and easy. It shouldn't come as a surprise that our molasses-tongued bottle blonde pharmacists support this plan, but it's a relief all the same.

blockity block and block the likers too

Once again, I am asking for a word that carries the same ignorant, limited, presumptuous, fatuous connotations as "provincial" and applies to urbanites.

Feels ironic to say "This thing you dumpstered is McCoy, you brand-addled fuckwits," but it doesn't make it *incorrect*.

my most recent round of physical therapy, culminating in "I can do a bullfrog squat [for the first time in 3 years]"

The grave would not receive appropriate maintenance if it costs $125k to reach... oh, who am I kidding, it still would.

If he had been conscious when the JDV "I'm ready to lead" comments hit, there would have been a rant about how no one has ever been as virile and active as he is.

“could a dead man be blasting les miz???” is objectively funny, props to the WH for that one

worth remembering that any time i say 'it is happening!' Franklin is getting popcorn

Worth remembering that any time I say "It's happening," it's because Shallan, Kaladin, and Adolin get canonically hitched

Anyway, if you're setting up alerts for stuff, perhaps you want an easily accessible mp3 of the Ironside Stinger. It's just below the Reviews header. archive.org/details/kill...

Little kids *do not fail* to spot this guy on approach. I love their reactions.

We just met, and this seems crazy, but words mean things, so use them maybe

if your advocacy is based around inaccurate descriptions of the dangerous weapons that you want to prevent people from buying, then you will get a whole bunch of people pressuring politicians to ban automatic weapons that are already banned or passing gun control laws that don’t cover AR-15s

Newsom employing army of bots on Bluesky caught me by complete lack of surprise.

i put on pants just like everyone else: mad that i have to

The thing about most of these hack Roganheads seeming to have terrible fathers makes me feel a slight bit of compassion but it doesn’t go very far. Gentlemen, in the end it’s your job to fix yourself, not just kick at someone else. Stop being fucking babies and get to work.

You are wrong on a boat, you are wrong with a goat, you are wrong in the rain, you are wrong on a train, you are wrong in a box, you are wrong with a fox, (From rah's very patient explanation to a condescending dickhead why the MS age verification law is unconstitutional and infeasible.)

putting aside the trans rights issues specifically (lol), I think part of what has me so frustrated with the Newsom thing is that Pritzker, Walz, and Zohran are putting on clinics for a popular, progressive politics and we’re wasting time talking about this used car salesman ass goblin.

They look like Cold War era spies conferring at a park.

Thread. IFL spot color illustration.

I'm convinced this woman's editor has it in for her. Imagine writing a Conde fucking Nast feature where you significantly misrepresent, and seemingly misunderstand, the key concept your article supposedly interrogates.

I was new to Georgia when Now&Laters came into vogue. It took me the better part of a school year to figure out that they weren't saying "Do you want a 'Nihilator?" I didn't ever try repeating the word, because it seemed too implausible. But hell if I could figure out what people were saying.
