Incredible piece about Murderbot w the best quote from @marthawells.com, hero to fanfic enjoyers: “I don’t care if my entertainment is schlock or not if I like it. I loathe the phrase ‘guilty pleasure.’ Is it child porn? No? Then it’s not a guilty pleasure. It was created by people to be enjoyed.”

Genie: ok what do you want for your birthday Trump: a military parade, oh, and also millions of people on the street chanting my name Genie: okie dokie

lmaoo never gets old

cats don't obey in advance and no one else should, either

Do we all still ultimately pay for their hubris and greed? Yes. Is the condemned man allowed to chortle when the approaching executioner slips on a banana peel? Also yes.

Well, crap. Could y’all kindly report this? A) it’s not me and B) I would not arrange the header on the profile page so that my face looks like the Phantom of the Opera devouring a tiny version of myself. bsky.app/profile/auth...

The US government, which has claimed it has to destroy American universities because a few pro-Palestinian protesters are evidence of unchecked anti-Semitism, is defending an actual neo-Nazi party in Germany.

FFS I got death threats about making Optimus Prime the wrong kind of truck when I wrote the TRANSFORMERS movie. Do the job or get out of the way.

Pro-natalists: you need to have at least 10 kids Normal people: why, are you expecting half of them to die before puberty due to lack of modern health and sanitation? Pro-natalists: you're never gonna believe what we also advocate

When you are one hundred percent committed to battling anti-semitism:

this guy should call his senator tbh

So not only are they ignorant on their own, they’re willfully ignoring the data on the huge surge in maternal death that Texas is experiencing.

your anger is warranted because all of this was avoidable.

“The cuts to maternal health programs may serve a second purpose for Republicans. Such programs have come under fire in some conservative states, in part because the experts involved investigate deaths that could have been prevented with abortion services…”

Huh, weird

Reminder: Don’t forget to vote today in WI and FL’s 1st & 6th districts!

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women. More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications. I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

foolish to buy a tesla. for that price you could buy thousands of beautiful gems for monta.

"Why SHOULDN'T government be run like a business?" Because the goals are diametrically opposed and mutually exclusive. Businesses exist to make money. Governments exist to make people's lives better. You ask if the fire dept is successful at putting out fires and saving people, not the $ it makes

lemme try and phrase this a bit differently for those who like me, are not particularly spiritually inclined. Don't be a piece of shit.

no one is thinking about you as much as you are

"know the worth of my outrage." incredibly helpful framing from @samsanders.bsky.social on this week's vibe check podcast with @zachstafford.bsky.social and @theferocity.bsky.social. highly recommend the whole thing but those first fifteen minutes were perfect for the commute this morning.

Look, if you can get through the backpack levels of Undercooked without violence you’re a better person than me.

Stop Forcing A.I. into Fucking EVERYTHING!

people who say “why do we need [fine arts, humanities degrees, mid-budget films] when they don’t make a ton of money?” are insufferable. why do we need chrysanthemums? why do we need bonfires or baleen whales or the color blue? we just do. we just do.

but was he enrolled in a plan with them
