Well, I, for one, am glad that unlike in all previous wars of choice this time, we finally have a clear end goal, an exit strategy and meaningful Congressional oversight to make sure our elected leaders don't do some crazy shit

i want it to always be the weekend, and i want bernie sanders to be president [genie with one airpod in who got the job because his dad owns the magic lamp factory] weekend at bernie’s president, got it

I infer from the post that this is something about creationism or dinosaurs being a hoax but it really looks like someone thinks that dinosaurs are lying about being virgins.

hey panera can we have the lemonade that kills us again

They have made the world living hell for no reason whatsoever. People will ask why this happened in a decade and there will be tremendous effort to make it more complicated than “they were evil, stupid, and bored”

I don't know if I love Get Your War On being relevant again. That's not a thing I'm loving

don't know if I love this classic Onion article from 22 years ago being relevant again. not loving that

God my absolute heart is with the people of Iran, who’ve fought so steadfastly for their own liberation, and are getting fucked half a dozen ways by a whole pantheon of geriatric war criminals while being told they should be grateful for it

Also the “Cuomo used the most infamous slur in the English language on the radio less than 5 years ago” conversation.

HEY NYC TRANS PEOPLE: Brooklyn Brewery is taking the $25k it would have spent on Pride ads and giving $1k each to 25 NYC trans folk. You can nominate yourself here: brooklynbrewery.com/brooklynbrew...

It is true that sometimes New York City is frightening. For example today these men were loitering in the hallway of the 12th floor of the federal building.

holding my arm up like a falconer any time I see a bird of prey. you never know

establishment dems lining up behind cuomo instead of lander really showing you what being more 'reasonable', 'restrained', 'moderate', 'put the work in' actually gets you from the party: jack shit

Walked past three kids practising their English. "I'm gay!" says one. "I'm lesbian," says the second. ".... And I'm Cristiano Ronaldo!" shouts the third. They walk on, screaming with laughter.

holy shit. Cuomo halted an investigation into the Weinstein case after a donation from Weinstein’s former lawyer’s firm to his reelection campaign… guys, this was in 2018 AFTER the Weinstein exposés (multiple) had been published & the #metoo movement was ascendant

People outside the games industry don't grasp that this is absolutely unheard of. Workers don't get royalties, and we definitely don't get performance bonuses. When we make a hit game we sometimes just get laid off

I got mad and I wrote about it.

lofi beets to study to

the list of Cuomo endorsers is actually a great way to identify people who need to be driven out of the Democratic Party as soon as possible

Thought it'd be kinda funny going to a Tesco's and doing a parody of those videos that are like "Come with me as I grab a snack at a real Japanese convenience store, or konbini ^^" but immediately got distracted by the existence of vanilla latte oreos

it's legitimately hard to go through my day hating the new york times this much. i have to figure out a way to hurt the new york times on a small but measurable way on a daily basis

It’s worth articulating why they’re afraid of Zohran or Lander being a good mayor - an outsider in city hall is a direct threat to the patronage and influence networks they’ve spent decades cultivating, and a direct threat to their power in the city.

I'm seeing people instrumentalize the small Jewish community of Iran in both directions - both using them as a shield to suggest the Iranian state is not antisemitic, but also to suggest they're so brainwashed by the Iranian state they don't know what's best for them. Both are wrong.

anyone who brings up another country and foreign policy in an election for who gets to decide on things like bus fares and trash collection for a city is a fundamentally unserious person who you can safely ignore on all things politics

This is the correct energy.

Thread. Well done.

I am sharing this rant that the great @heatherthomasaf.bsky.social posted elsewhere, as it should be read far and wide:

I just think sea slugs are neat 💕

NEWS: In one of the first major federal prosecutions of an LA protester, the DOJ has moved to dismiss the case. Jose Manuel Mojica was accused of assaulting officers, but came forward to Guardian to recount how he was brutally attacked by agents. “I feel a huge relief. The truth always comes out."

My (pie in the sky) hope is that the “Don’t vote for Zohran” blitz ends up benefitting Lander more than Cuomo because they don’t give any additional instructions on who to vote for and he’s the closest substitute

Look, whoever wins we’ll hate them. We always hate the mayor. The place is built to fuck the mayor over. The question is just who will do the least worst job. And how mad we’ll get if non-NYers hate him.

We saw this play out in the LA fires. The wealthy people in the Palisades are already drawing up plans to rebuild, middle class people are scrambling to come up with plans. Meanwhile the historically Black Altadena saw elderly and disabled people die and vulture developers are seizing properties.

i love when a band i like lists some obscure artist as their biggest influence so i look them up and it’s the worst music i’ve ever heard
