as a weird-name-haver it is very very strange hearing people say it a bunch. wha? me? oh. huh. the Zeb character from Star Wars : Rebels is going to be in this upcoming Mandalorian movie. it not said in the trailer shown at the beginning— but mentioned in the breakdown several times.

pretty sure there isn't much wiggle room for interpretation on 'easy way or the hard way'. it isn't some obscure saying. there is a whole page on it on TVtropes where it is very clear what it means.

i like how Josh Wink now looks like a kinda cool archeology professor that really insists you just call him Josh. or any J-themed nickname.

i noticed one of the birdfeeders started growing some grass awhile ago— this seems new? kept forgetting to clean it all out so it got a bit silly. the outer rim part was also full of this same nonsense. also it is moldy down there? eww. birds obviously stopped eating this awhile ago.

BREAKING: Disney+ is to replace the two-season run of Andor with a recut version that runs for only five minutes, and is just Mon Mothma apologising profusely to Darth Vader for any inconvenience, and letting him have whatever he wants.

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE: He cannot designate an idea as a terrorist group. There is no org called ANTIFA. There is no leadership or funding path or no membership. Also there is no terrorism law in America. Ask Luigi. He wants to call anyone a terrorist. That’s Fascism. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

right. bsky.app/profile/elli...

looks like Nexstar owns a lot of non-ABC affiliates as well. ABC isn't even their largest category. they own a ton of CBS and NBC and Fox and CW and MyTV stations. i didn't do a count but looks like ABC might even be the smallest after classic-reruns-only MyTV.

Next time someone on the right claims all the political violence in this country is coming from the left, not the right, do please show them this. You're welcome

hello 911? yea its me again…uh huh thats right, theyre still posting his exact quotes

It is absolutely insane to me that we're having a debate over whether or not the rightwing deploys violent rhetoric within days of a Fox News personality calling for homeless people to be killed by lethal injection. There is no excuse for this obliviousness. It's unacceptable.

republican wishcasting says the shooter has a trans roommate (weird this didn't come up when said roommate was interviewed) then followed by some variation of "no true right wing person would ever have anything to do with any trans person ever! ergo he is a leftist!" 🙄 meanwhile back in reality...

Just thinking about how the right made up an entirely fictional left wing character that resulted in so many bomb threats and the like and nobody will face consequences. But people on the left who accurately clocked the victim’s life work lost jobs.

Huh an awful lot of rhetoric shifted from Old Testament to New Testament over the past few hours

(also equally possible Charlie Kirk wouldn't have ever been a popular rightwing media figure if that didn't happen.)

if the participants in January 6th "didn't want to see crime" why'd they commit so much of it that 1500+ were convicted by a jury of their peers? then unsurprisingly— a 34 count felon and adjudicated rapist (seems crimey!) pardoned them all. many have since committed additional crimes. how weird!

Each alleged mass shooter is even more On the Computer All the Time than the previous one. Probably nothing to worry about there

huh weird. all those loud conservatives and Trump himself still going to punish all those that radicalized him? or...?

Too bad the GOP effectively criminalized studying how information moves online and news orgs laid off and demonized all the reporters who covered the burgeoning online accelerationist performative death cults. All of that work was somehow "censorship" that needed to be stopped. Now we're here.

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

figured it'd be pulled by now. blovish.github.io/kirkslider/

Just thinking about the incentives for catching the perpetrator as fast as possible and comparing those to the incentives for never ever be able to find the guy…

Good time to brush up on some history en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horst_W...

oh definitely. for sure. 👍 because my brain looks exactly like a sheet of the glossiest paper ever made. completely wrinkle free. cook eggs on it and they slide right off. SMOOTH.

"it can only be done by a sniper!" counterpoint :

wasn't even 6 months ago. barely 3.

The birthday book is clear: there was a cabal of rich, powerful people (mostly men) whose fondest memories with Jeffrey Epstein involved trafficking young girls for sex—trading them like baseball cards—and one of them is the current American president. You’re cool with this or you’re not. That’s it.

Only 40 days have passed since Democratic lawmaker Melissa Hortman and her husband were tragically killed by an unhinged Trump supporter, yet this story has largely faded from national awareness. We must not allow that to happen.

Elliot Wolk was an MIT math professor who suddenly got very rich & became a board member & major donor; the Wolk Gallery is in the MIT Architecture building & a primary exhibition area for Media Lab (which grew out of the MIT Architecture dept) & I assume we all know Epstein's Media Lab connection

FINALLY.

UPPER: What Trump wanted. LOWER: What Trump got.

i suppose it is nice that the administration has given everyone a very very easy graffiti/defacement opportunity. 🤷‍♂️

“No more foreign wars,” as the monkey’s paw curls shut.

🚨 A FELON in the Oval Office. 💀 A PUPPY KILLER at DHS. 🚫 An ANTIVAX EX-ADDICT at HHS. ❌ An ILLITERATE running Education. 🥴 A DRUNK in charge of Defense. 🇷🇺🕵️ A RUSSIAN ASSET as DNI. ⚡💥 This isn’t politics. This is the COLLAPSE of governance in real time. 💥⚡

this really did fall by the wayside and yet it is in fact fuckin nuts

new birdseed development? birdseed has NEVER done this before i saw a real-life chemtrail (a thing that exists) for the first time last week? wow. crazy if related. (definitely. because of science.)

only real DJs.

I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable

Google developer #1: "That's it. Our search engine is simple, efficient, and reliable. It's perfect. We're done." Google developer #2, presumably: "But wouldn't it be *more* perfect if the first search result was always a robot who mansplained your search results to you incorrectly?"

If you say 'heteronormative' or 'unhoused person' or 'food insecurity' you're basically talking gibberish and nobody can understand you but if you say you can see inflammation in children at the airport and that vaccines lower IQ or that germs are a myth you get to fire all the scientists.

very mysterious.

Strange New Worlds writers room : "i'm thinking hmm... vulcan minstrel show? can everyone do a bad seemingly racist vulcan impression?" "not really. let's just film whatever they come up with." "great! how do you think we should end this episode?" "ridiculous question. a dance number of course."

It’s almost as if appointing an anti-vax lunatic with zero qualifications to oversee America’s health was a numbskull idea and everybody with a functioning brain knew it.

I would never get a Great Dane because they seem pretty conceited. Show me how great you are, don't tell me.

There can’t be any gun restrictions because we have to protect against federal government tyranny, and if kids get shot we just have to live with it. Also the President can send troops to cities because the federal government can do whatever it wants. These two ideas are consistent and reasonable.

Trump: “My Administration will act to restore respect and sanctity to the American Flag” Also Trump: Buy my American flag pickleball paddle for $180

cracker barrel is just this except not being an obvious joke and done in complete sincerity.
