Typical noise gig lineup

if dems want messaging help, stop telling people you're "fighting back." it sounds like you're being mugged. call off the podcaster search, take your ridiculous money pile and try opening some food banks and free clinics. hurricanes are coming and the feds have no plan. looks like an opening to me.

Oh, Andor. How I wish we could have gotten five full seasons. I get that Star Wars is mostly for kids, but it'd be nice to have more Star Wars for grown ups too.

The church said it's terminating a decades-long partnership with the federal government to help refugees arriving in the U.S., citing moral opposition to resettling white Afrikaners from South Africa.

Wasn't bullied bad growing up, but what always hurt was people saying about my bully "Oh, he's really nice though!" as if it mattered. That's what bullies do – they treat people that they can get something out of like their best friends while stomping on the people who can't. How very Christian.

“Abolish ICE” is the moderate position. Radical is “prosecute every ICE employee under RICO.”

i know the quote-unquote opposition doesn’t have the stomach for it but the only solution to this is complete abolition of ICE, exposing of all the pigs who are doing this, and swift trials and prosecution for their crimes against humanity. and this should be the moderate position

we live in a country where it's legit good news that the woman who's been in a gestapo prison for six weeks for writing an op-ed is being released on bail

Not all Star Wars has to be like Andor, but it could and should be

So cool that I got to see Pope Leo XIV upstairs at the old iO with Jazz Freddy and Blue Velveeta back in the day. Saw him jump on stage from the audience during a Zumpf set. Miles and Dan did NOT like that.

On Friday ICE agents stopped a bus in Albion, NY. They had a list of names, and took 14 people into custody Those workers—and their employer—happened to be involved in one of the most crucial labor struggles in the state in recent memory My latest @theintercept.com theintercept.com/2025/05/05/i...

I'm sorry but if you don't have enough fully functional neurons firing in your brain to have seen this coming from the beginning, I refuse to believe you can be trusted with any task or objective that requires more than a third-grade intellect. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/06/w...

as my friend @heyguys.bsky.social likes to say, 40 hours a week used to be able to support a family but it's just as important that 20 hours a week used to support an artist

I have memories of crowding around our dorm room reading some of these stories, like we had discovered some ancient and hilarious tome.

Forgive the earnest post here, but one year ago this week, Global Tetrahedron took over The Onion. We've since brought back the paper and ONN, dramatically increased revenue, and hired more writers and artists. But most importantly, as other places debased themselves, we refused to bend the knee.

idk seems bad

The ‘Piracy. It’s a Crime’ campaign used pirated music, *and* as it turns out, also used pirated fonts. Incredible.

love a senator imploring regular citizens to fight back against tyranny. dawg you spent the last twenty years giving machine guns and tanks to traffic cops this is like pushing your toddler into the ring with ivan drago

A very Texas thing is I thought eggs were on sale for $2 but they were cascarones

i am pretending pinhead said this

important context about the concentration camps in el salvador:

markets soar as investors realize that mommy didn't actually disappear, she was just hiding behind her hands

this is a fascist government. any enemy they perceive is inherently a criminal for that fact alone. they will beat, torture and kill you and figure out what “crime” you committed later and only if forced to do bookkeeping. saying some of their victims are more “innocent” won’t save them or you

my hope is that AI can empower the Dumbest, Least talented slobs i know to replace everything i ever loved with One Million Years of Content

i don't think id ever get trampled in a crowd setting . when im surrounded by thousands of panicked men and women i tend to play it smart

grocery store is ripping me off. it should be buying an equal amount of stuff from me as I buy from it

Hey @stephenking.bsky.social - lifelong super fan here. The theater I work for is doing a production of Misery next season. Can we get an endorsement? Perhaps a thumbs up emoji?

In defense of the meathead carpet baggers who colonized Austin: writing comedy is hard, and it's much easier to just say offensive shit.

The year is 1996. My college roommate's mom takes us out to an East Village diner. The whole time she's looking in my direction funny. I finally ask whether there is something on my face. She says, "No, but behind you is the ugliest man I've ever seen." I turn around. It's Joey Ramone eating eggs.
