i just had to share my sweet baby on the skyline! nicholas says happy friday guys 🧡🧡

I'm literally just a girl in a beaver costume drinking a beer while crewing an ultra.

Just subscribed to the print edition of bluesky. Soon I’ll be receiving all the month’s posts in a handsome leather-bound tome

If I were the Greatest Generation I simply would not have died off and taken all of America's cultural memory with me.

(Shania) Man! I feel like a goblin

i bet we’d all benefit from taking a second to relax; i’m not going to try it, but it’s something i’ve noticed

Woo buddy closest I've felt to non-despair in a month

He does this every Friday.

Seeing a very tame band in a very tame venue, and there is genuinely nothing funnier than observing suburban men trying to fistfight.

One of the funniest things you can see in your own home is a cat slightly misjudging a jump and then slipping off the edge of the table while it stares at you for a few fleeting moments like Gandalf falling down after the Balrog

Terry Pratchett had this one nailed in Feet of Clay we don’t do kings here

become ungovernable

Black and white college students went to MISSISSIPPI in 1964 to register people to vote. They got shot at, bombed, beaten and killed. These pampered fucks need to take accountability and act.

Between Howie the Crab and the Anglerfish, I'm on a thread here.

The angler fish swam to the surface because she wanted to listen to Brat

i’m starting to think he wasn’t just joking like many people in the media claimed he was when he said that we wouldn’t have to “worry” about voting again if he won

Going on record to say that punk / post-punk bands ensured that I've been a known and noted anti-monarchist all of my adult life.

Political liberalism has a lot of flaws but one of the cool things about it is how it's constructed around the insight that monarchy is a fundamental affront to human dignity 👍

I am not kidding when I say Madison intended impeachment to be used on the first, next, and last President who referred to themselves as a king, and we ought to do him right

DNC Aiming To Reconnect With Working-Class Americans With New ‘Hamilton’-Inspired Lena Dunham Web Series

Mugger (pointing gun at my friend): Give me your wallet Me (helpfully): Calm down he's just trolling

It's not lost on me that the two Democratic electeds talking consistently to regular people right now are AOC and Jasmine Crockett. Dassit.

*scream glances in Hannah Arendt*

I used to be a creative person who made things and now all I do is sign into multi-factor authentication and tend to my digital properties and it is making me a miserable person. There are intelligent critical things to say about this but not when one is stuck in neurodivergent overwhelm.

That’s so cool! I personally write my own stuff with my brain I trained on reading and writing so it means something human but again your thing is also cool.

call me old fashioned but i am not rooting for the asteroid

"Fetid moppet" - how has this not caught on yet?!?? What a phrase for the times.

1995: “The internet will connect you to our business instantly!” 2025: No one answers emails. Websites bury phone numbers and chatbots can’t help you. When you do call, you’re either directed to automated helpers, closed extensions, or voicemails that remain unanswered. “Thanks for your business!”

Head honcho. Head of the class. Head hunter. Not even playing, no one wants to hear it, but this is what peak masculinity looks like.

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

i can control my thoughts with my mind

All I'm saying is that if I had billions of dollars I'd be trying to feed more kids, keep more kids vaccinated and healthy, looking for ways to give people good paying jobs, protect the country and the environment, and generally do good, instead of, like, being evil.

They don't want to teach history so they can repeat it.

doing cutesy hypotheticals around the electoral effects of invading and annexing an entire country is everything that's wrong with the New York Times, elite media in this country, and you in particular total inability to consider the horror of what's being proposed, fuck off with this shit

the endless quest for "efficiency" in all things is perhaps the greatest single perversion of the modern age

Elon musk is the richest man in the world, he could be funding hospitals, medical research and universities. He could be solving the climate crisis. He could be feeding, hungry children. Instead, he’s trying to make sure that your grandmother doesn’t get an extra dollar of Social Security.
