there’s a lot of talk about defeatism but I’m not sure any institution has embraced it as much as the media, which has decided that because Trump was re-elected after everything there is no longer any such thing as a scandal shit that would be a five alarm fire in term one is met with a shrug

John Fetterman’s a disgrace to the oaf community. He does not represent America’s lumbering buffoons, ham-fisted galoots, or men whose heavy footsteps are soundtracked by a tuba.

Just tested this out. What the hell.

Just gonna say her name: Michelle Wolf

So, in light of current events, are we about to see the third wave of immigration to BlueSky? (I say immigration since i doubt anyone wants back to the bad place).

A weird thing about being online is you’ll get a notification that someone named “feral weirdo” follows you and you’ll go ah good a normal person, and then you’ll get a notification that someone named “Professor Thomas Smith” follows you and you’ll think oh no a weirdo

Musk did a Nazi salute because he knows there are zero political consequences to him doing so, and he can harass and intimidate anyone who tries to call him out. Expect others to follow suit…there are going to be a lot of unacceptable words and behaviors that are going to become “normal” + defended

both parties together ban tiktok. both parties scrambling to bring it back. neither party brave enough to do the right thing and bring back the jeremy renner app

This post brought to you now for no reason in particular.

Hot take incoming: The Nazis were the bad guys of World War II.

I am this old.

How have I not seen this thread before?!! Truly a masterpiece.

I really hope nobody told Jimmy Carter the results of the election. Guy deserved more than going out with that weight on his mind.

Entropy works slowly, but it is inexorable. We need new institutions, the old ones are failing.

Maybe, just maybe, giving the exploding car, foreign born, nepo baby jumping bean billionaire control of the federal government isn’t such a great idea. Just a thought.

Saw someone upbraiding someone else for having a hobby while the world is on fire, and, my friends: 1. The world is ever on fire, this is today's conflagration; 2. If you don't find time for rest and joy the fire will consume you; 3. Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.

This, but unironically.

... yeah she should sue over this, per the DMCA. 17 USC § 512(f)

ABC and its cohorts have long demonstrated a willingness to let the world burn for the sake of ratings. This reached it's zenith in 2016, but we can't seem to keep hold of the lesson.

Ariana: Santa, tell me if you're really there / Don't make me fall in love again if he won't be here next year / Santa, tell me if he really cares / 'Cause I can't give it all away if he won't be here next year Santa: I... I deliver toys

I know it's a lot to ask of Dem House members but can we promote the young member who talks good and people like? As cool as it is to always replace people with people just like the people they replaced so nothing ever changes, I'd like to win elections and get stuff done at some point.

How many ills would disappear if this ugly belief was placed back on the fringes where it belongs?

Wind and Truth was the "Defying Gravity" of the cosmere. A dramatic and satisfying climax that resolves the internal arcs of all the characters involved, while setting the external conflict in its direst position yet as the characters are finally in a position at do something about it. #Cosmere

Anticipatory compliance never satisfies, it only appetizes.

ABC News caved days before they were gonna get that clown in for a sworn deposition. On that alone, I will never forgive them.

It's been a week and I still can't get this thought out of my mind... Almost like a song stuck in my head.

Oh no. Anyway...

Friendly reminder that if art is how we decorate space, then music is how we decorate time. #booksky #music

So that was a powerful ending. Both expected and completely unexpected. I'm going to have to read Day 10 over again soon (if not the whole thing), but it definitely feels like the end of the first part of the larger cosmere - as well as a great ending of itself. #WindAndTruth #StormlightArchive

Happy Wind and Truth day to all who celebrate!
