The notion that Trump's "I'm king" tweet is "just trolling" or "a joke" presents an opportunity to recreate my just-joking thread (porting it over from the Bad Place): 1. I wrote my PhD dissertation on the social function of humor (in literature & film) and here's the thing about "just joking."

Wait is Annette from Nocturne just Nahiri from Zendikar? #mtg #castlevania

Dont mind me while I watch Castlevania Nocturne while I'm playing Portrait of Ruin.

so far going anti-woke leads to less money and planes falling out of the sky

Wake up. We are near the end of America. Not just domestically. Europe is no longer our ally because of this evil orange moron. Canadians are seriously pissed at us. Mexico the same. He is gutting the country to take it for the rich. Flu, measles, bird flu, raging. CDC silenced. GOP balless Wake up

Lololol I love the artists for Magic @jeffmiracola.com @aaronbmiller.com @postrk.bsky.social @illustratorjeff.bsky.social

On Feb. 14th I try always to give honor to one of the greatest contributors to American democracy in our nation’s history, Frederick Douglass. Born into slavery, Douglass never knew his actual birthdate, and adopted Feb. 14th as the day. His penetrating insights about our country inspire me daily.

We do need a democratic daily briefing to fact check the bullshitsunami coming from the white house.

Dear ad platforms: I need you to know I don't object to ads. You gotta make money and I get it. I object to seeing the same ad repeatedly back to back. Mix it up and I'll likely pay more attention

Chrono Trigger movie with Henry Cavill as Magus

me when @socialworkandcats.bsky.social is away

seems like a good time

Looking at the folks who are liking this movie versus not, it's clear to me that I will definitely like this movie. Most of the bad reviews seem to be from those going in wanting to hate it, and I want to love this.

This is like a bank robber getting to fire the cops and disable the alarms just before he strolls into the bank lobby.

Controversial take: most modern MCU content is better than some of the old stuff. Rewatch Thor 2 and Ant-Man and the Wasp and convince me those are better than whatever is coming out now.
