We should be able to keep two thoughts together in our heads at the same time: 1) Attacking Iran would be really dangerous. But also 2) Attacking Iran would be extremely dangerous.

Known for their sacred morning rituals, baristas are a revered third gender in western culture, neither male nor female. Baristas are said to be keepers of secret alchemical knowledge, and are typically given offerings in return for blessings of life, energy, and vigor.

All in favour?

they should make a workplace that isn’t understaffed all the time

Just went to a circus and had some bread and folks, I think this might be the next big thing.

Oh no.

I have seen my fair number of truly grisly and/or upsetting videos here on the Lord’s internet, and the first 10 seconds of this gave me the biggest jump scare I’ve had, in years

i just want democrats to hate republicans as much I hate them and as much as they hate us

My eternal love and support for the first Democratic politician to openly endorse civic sedevacantism (that the seat of the Presidency is empty)

uhhhhhhh ummmmmm b... uhhhhhhhh.... hmmmgmmm

You just sit down after that.

The USA's E-4B "Doomsday" mobile military command HQ – a converted Boeing 747 equipped to withstand a nuclear blast – is said to be airborne. “Nightwatch” is only launched during high level crises, such as when planning to attack Iran in an undeclared war on behalf of Benjamin Netanyahu.

so funny that they didn't just blow up a rocket, they destroyed their entire launch pad while getting NO useful information whatsoever. just a complete disaster lmao

There is no evidence of this. It’s actually insane to believe that if you’re quiet and subtle people will notice you more. It’s entirely a rationalization of their deep-seated fear of conflict, their vanity about being annoying or loud, and their laziness about relearning old communication habits.

“Why is bluesky so incredibly dull” because you haven’t carefully curated a feed of the most unhinged people on the internet, like i have

I transitioned at 29. I got there in the end. I didn't go through any legal means. I managed. Shouldn't have had to, though. We can tell each other that we'll take care of each other and pull through and also note that zealots and fanatics are inflicting untold suffering on us for no reason.

Need to use this in the future

the main difference between the bush administration and this one is that the neoconservative ideologues have been replaced with people who want to see explosions on the tv

I need all of #lawsky to see this video from a Colorado appeals court livestream yesterday. I am in actual tears. Sound *incredibly* on, the subtitles will not help.

When we moved into this house a couple years ago, my very kind neighbor was like “oh FYI my husband is a concert cellist so if it’s ever too loud or disturbing you or anything, please just let us know.” You know what, hasn’t been a problem.

So Starship Ship 36 just detonated *before* the static fire test - fueled and waiting for the test. Looks like the top tank lets go and sets off the whole stack. It would be bad enough if it let go during the static fire test, but it just blew up. And it's cooking off the fuel tanks on the pad.

filling out a work questionnaire about my strengths: (1) feet are light and nimble (2) never sleeps (3) says i will never die (4) dances in light and shadow (5) great favorite (6) never sleeps (7) dances (8) dances (9) says i will never die

There was a short-lived Alf magazine for children in the late 1980s, and it contained BLATANT misinformation concerning the temperament of iguanas:

little house of 1000 corpses on the prairie

RIP you would have loved BG3 Mods

*blushing* Overleaf-san, you're so lewd!

The enemy wants us dead. No need to make his job easier.

there's a little extra surprise in here too

frankly sick of having western leftists tell me it's intrinsically "western" to listen to have solidarity with non-western women. stop playing little word games and just admit you think women's oppression isn't real anywhere

The most generous interpretation of left-adjacent people who are active on Twitter complaining about the hate and vitriol on Bluesky is that they've effectively built a mental sieve on Twitter that filters out the incessant torrent of right-wing hate. The alternative interpretations are much darker.

i don't want to be sexy. i want a stable job with good pay and a roof over my head and i want to feel at home in my body

Sure glad we wasted 4 years doing fuck all to fix the Supreme Court

I’m hearing early reports that a beast is slouching towards Bethlehem. Many countries are expressing their deep concern at the development and there is currently talk of possibly sanctioning the beast.

Like I've said before, if you have any doubts about climate change, just go to a super-boring insurance conference and listen to the super-boring panels where they dryly talk about the growing threat of disasters so catastrophic and unpredictable in scope they simply cannot be insured at any price.

haven’t said anything about Skrmetti because I can’t quite bring myself to read it this morning. sorry to the people we failed.

One thing that's psychologically fascinating about Bluesky is in the absence of an algorithm you're quite sincerely thrown into a wild west marketplace of ideas and have to survive on, uh... merit. A lot of journalists are finding their ideas aren't popular. Rather, they are just well paid.

thinking again about this 2018 cover
