ANDOR predictions: - Andor is son of Tarkin - K2SO is child of 3PO and R2 - Bix is Jedi and also daughter of Grievous - Andor is father of Poe - Baby Poe reveals Palpatine will return - Palpatine is son of Palpatine - Wait they actually already did that one

This is after Jeffries told Dems to stop going to El Salvador

Incredible stuff from Sarah who apparently has the strongest stomach on Bsky.

It took high-level talks between the US and Mexican governments to make this program a reality (sadly cut this from the diss but hopefully it'll make the cut fit the book). Unilaterally killing it is going to make it more difficult to restart, and restart it will have to.

was not expecting "what do the Pope, Tim Walz, and the Penzey's Spices guy have in common?" to be a question with an easy answer, tbh

Happy Tuesday! Who's ready to hear about 1. Flesh-eating maggots (mostly go after cattle) 2. They're native to the US 3. The USDA has kept them out of the US since the 1960s 4. But the flesh-eating maggots are making a 21st century comeback. And believe it or not it may be thanks to MAGA.

Ngl, being namedropped and quoted six minutes in (Gladsome Praetorian was an account I used on SB as a cringe teenager) was not what I was expecting lol I think I'm part of Warhammer history now lmao?

Coprolite isn't my favorite fossil but it's a solid number two.

A brilliant piece of poetry from Michael Rosen, clearly directed at Starmer and the current Labour Government.

oh look at that. im ALSO thinking of tomb kings! COMING SOON...ish. to a mount and blade mod near you!

There was an old tweet that stuck with me: "If you can easily walk to the coffee shop but your barista has a one hour commute, you don't live in a walkable 15 minute city; you live in a theme park"

Interesting to see what qualifies as a red line for the Democrats — apparently not any of Trump's domestic actions but rather a bribe from an ally (that is notably at odds with Israel)

It’s terrible that it qualifies as good news and a relief when someone who wins an election is finally permitted to take office, but for May 2025 it’s good news and a relief nonetheless.

Hope I don’t have to clean up the streets later with my own personal brand of justice

squirrel: *points gun* me: what do you want me to do? squirrel: *gestures at sign* me: alright, i get it *opens book drop* squirrel: *makes hurry-up motion* me: NOT A SQUIRREL! squirrel: *disappears into book drop* me: *whispers* forgive me, keith

Seeing some of those videos of ICE guys in full soldier of fortune getups with rifles and balaclavas being filmed by 40 year old women in Yoga pants telling them to go fuck themselves and get the fuck out of their city really shows once again that libmoms are America’s most fearless defenders

I can't top this one.

Apparently me and @steveyurko.com were featured in a recent WWE hype package...? I guess we're stock footage now, this is from like seven years ago Thanks to @rustage.bsky.social for lettin me know haha

oh my god they spelled responsibility wrong

Call your rep www.house.gov/representati... Call your senators www.senate.gov/senators/sen... Tell them to kill the AI regulation ban in the Budget Reconciliation Bill. Tell them how this will harm their constituents. AI CSAM = unregulated, nonconsensual AI deepfakes = unregulated, etc. Do it NOW.

i've been sitting here silently, trying to describe the feeling of reading a journalist whose beat is "people and power" and "accountability" saying something like this. so far I've come up with "your car mechanic telling you to fill up your gas tank with antifreeze"

Rinse and repeat - highway being expanded in NJ for $11B in the most densely populated region of the state, while NJ Transit is begging for funds, can't expand service (and can barely fund current service) despite growing statewide demand.

when people ask me "What's the most important thing for new farmers to know"

Michael Cole remain a sober and unbiased commentator challenge: still impossible #WWERaw

Bit of warhammer fantasy lore I really like is that Arkhan the Black didn't get that moniker from any foul deed or spooky armor but actually because when alive he constantly chewed a narcotic root that fucked up his teeth.

MICHAEL MOORCOCK: You get that painting of Elric MICHAEL WHELAN: Sure did boss, real fuckin sexy and elegiac just like you asked. MICHAEL MOORCOCK: terrific. thank you again Michael

Sorry 2 all my Protestant ancestors for what I’m going to do

Gotta admit "He's detained in The Hague, but" is a killer opening

Every time I learn something new about the OG Doom I just keep getting more and more incredulous because they made it entirely out of the fucking aether with a team of essentially children in under a year. Making deathmatch took under a month and defined literally all FPS terminology for all time.

if i am to fall in a volcano, if i am one inch before the lava, i am technically not "on fire," in fact, I am not on fire at all,

Lipton himself works under a policy that precludes gifts of $25+, to avoid the appearance of conflict, regardless of "quid pro quo." For example, he would not be allowed to receive a jet from the Qatari government, because it is valued at more than $25.

Because now we get chronic conditions instead of DYING OUTRIGHT. This is actually fantastic! It means we get eczema and arthritis at 65 because we didn’t die in childbirth at 25!

BREAKING: The Episcopal Church has announced it will end its decades-old partnership with the government to resettle refugees, citing moral opposition to resettling white Afrikaners from South Africa who have been classified as refugees by the Trump admin. religionnews.com/2025/05/12/e...

OK, this is wild. In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them. It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*. What the HELL? 1/

i remember white south africans being stupid and evil but maybe that’s just the mandela effect

Got to the DMV (I know it's MVC, it'll always be DMV to me) at 11am, appointment was for 11:40am, got out at 12:30pm. Only real delay was because I was in the system twice for some ungodly reason. Fastest DMV trip ever

Uline's owners are the 2nd biggest political donors to Trump, so found a non-MAGA alt rec'd on Reddi: EcoEnclose. For shipping boxes for original comic art, so I got EXACTLY the size I wanted. It's half the price once you add in shipping to my house from Uline. EcoEnc $120.32 vs Uline $238.38.
