share the money pigeon for 10,000 years good luck 💸🍀🤞

if you lack the ability to live with a typo or the courage to delete a whole post over one, that is simply a skill issue

dipshits in 2019: you people are NPCs, you don't even think for yourselves dipshits in 2025: I have outsourced my thinking to Clippy

If it’s true that Gatwa quit in protest over Israel making the final then good on him.

People do owe artists fair pay for their work. Buying a used copy of a book, record, or film is still giving them fair pay. They have been paid for that copy. You might as well ask "is it ethical to reread a book without buying another copy of it?"

LRP: This Bsky is a kinky safe space. Even if I don't share your kink, I endorse your right to have it--even if it makes me uncomfortable or upset. *Taps the sign*

Yes.

Wanna reduce crime? Open more libraries. "we find within the nearby proximity of the library; there is a substantial reduction in frequency of burglaries, vandalism, robberies, fraud, and assaults." link.springer.com/article/10.1...

For everyone who was like “Google search is getting worse,” we were absolutely right.

The preceding panel, where he gives attribution, is the quote from Twain; this was me.

Raymond Chandler, letter to a friend, January 1948. Seems relevant beyond the specific Hollywood context.

(tired and drunk while playing Clue) Fuck I dunno...

It’s true!! Those “Share & Save” links are a lifesaver

The dismantling of games journalism exactly mirrors the dismantling of the industry it covers. It’s a very deliberate disassembly - media in general is being actively killed off by myopic and utterly useless vandals. I sincerely wish ill for those who *indulge* in causing layoffs.

Researchers have been pointing out that these systems are probably “bags of heuristics” from the very beginning but pointing it out early literally cost some of them their jobs.

At this point "Abolish ICE and prosecute every officer who helped with deportations" is the moderate path

Movie you've watched more than six times using gifs. ("Hard mode" no Star Wars, Star Trek, or LoTR)

@redcomets.net Have you seen this yet?

Logistics, not being "tough" wins wars. Hegseth doesn't seem to get that

Every time I’ve been forced against my will to see that stupid fucking photo of JKR & her cigar I’ve said “she looks like a cartoon villain” & I finally figured out which one

There is a vicious lie going around that filling out the FAFSA affects your benefits or tax returns. It is a LIE. Please share so this gets around. Too many kids are finding out they won't be able to go to school because their parents won't give up their SSN or tax information. Share!

anyone who's ever run a community above a certain size can tell you that you either ban like 20 assholes or lose 20,000 normal people. allowing 'different voices' is a losing strategy.

There is no appeasing fascists.

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

I'm reminded that what got us out of the Depression was socialist policies, a 90% tax rate on the rich and killing millions of fascists.

I like paying taxes. Genuinely. Not grudgingly. I can’t pave a road, I can’t build and staff a hospital. $200 in my pocket won’t pay for my kid’s daycare but if we all pool our money it might. I really wish someone on the left would be brave enough to be like, “Taxes are good, actually.”

Okay it's been a kind of doomscrollposty day but as a certified Oregon Trail Generation GenX I have to politics again, sorry.

AW YISS NEW BRICKY VID! Folks, if you've read this feed or dropped by my Twitch streams, you know I love Warhammer 40k. If you're even a bit curious about what the fuck I'm babbling about? You can't get a better, friendlier intro to the universe than Bricky! www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDIm...

A mountain bluebird has perched on the tallest frozen rose stalk and is just hanging out in the snow, being blue.

Children have particular rights under both US and international law. When you disappear children, lock them up, and deny them access to their parents, legal counsel and education, that place is no longer a "detention center." It is a concentration camp.

#startrek #startrekmemes This one is right in the feels.

I was just talking about this with my brothers, who are also both union men. One works transportation, one’s an electrician, I’m a screenwriter. Our common security doesn’t come from the nature of our work (they find mine hilarious), it comes from our common union membership.

Kurt Vonnegut man

So good. 🤡 @brendanvduke.bsky.social

Oh for fuck's sake

This. I keep telling people this, but being willing to take advantagd of results does not mean the result was sought or planned. Including unoccupied territories in the list won't help crash the economy. It's a mistake, not a clever plan. They don't know what they're doing.

Do y’all remember when, in 2022-23, American businesses claimed organized retail crime was forcing them to jack up prices? And how that was largely bullshit to justify price gouging? My prediction: it’s gonna get real hard to tell which prices are high because tariffs, and which because fuckery

Ah, that’s probably why he had a reputation for being “difficult”

Lots of people like to pretend our money doesn’t count, but look at it out there, counting

THIS. Productivity is up 81% since 1980. Hourly pay is up 29%. We could be working 25 hour weeks right now. The United States leads the world in billionaires. That was the choice that voters in the US made starting with Reagan and have made over and over again since then.
