What it's like to be part of the Executive Branch in the US: youtu.be/yMxY0Lxo_ow?...

Delhi Caps won an absolute nailbiter - Sacrifice single to get Ashutosh back on strike (leaving only 1 wicket) - Pant smartly calling for an LBW review that was declined (being keeper and captain has its benefits) - Ashutosh hits a six from the first ball of the final over. That's drama, baby.🏏

More like "Swift Insecurity"

A merry IPL 🏏 to those who celebrate (let's see if this animates)

If you agree with this level of vindictive foolishness, you must fix your heart or die.

society erred when we removed the computer from its honored place in the home and ushered it into every part of our profane world. we must rebuild the temple of the Computer Room

It lives again! A coworker who has real soldering skills saved my sp404. 😅🎛️

Not saying mutual aid isn't good (especially when it is *mutual* and not a euphemism for charity) but the frequent advocacy to "get involved" in mutual aid to combat feelings of sadness and frustration feels like telling a depressed person to go to the gym.

the internet was a better place when it just looked like this

I'm still fascinated/embarrassed for the women who dressed up as Handmaids during the first Trump administration and can't help but notice their absence now. 🤔 Almost like they weren't a serious form of protest...

would be better if it at least said "Who gives a shit"

I was not prepared for I Saw the TV Glow... I'm shook by how personal this film hit.

Please enjoy these images of Violet enjoying a Brussels sprout

This is my entire life

(🏏)Always a little annoyed that the men's IPL is just called "IPL" while the women's is expressly labelled "W-IPL". (Same goes for big bash league) Like, talk about gender equality all you want but if one is just "The" and the other is "women"... It ain't equal.

Idk what it is exactly but the Roland D2 just feels like therapy sometimes

NEW: Mahmoud Khalil's lawyers have filed a request to release Khalil on bail. Khalil's wife, Noor Ramez Abdalla, submitted a letter to the court in support of his release. williamturton.substack.com/p/mahmoud-kh...

"JuSt Use DoCkEr..."😮‍💨

I mean, all conjecture aside it is at least clear from the 🍕gate emails that politicians and staffers have absolutely unhinged choices of phrasing and grammar https://youtu.be/51L2KjxH9gE?si=Q_1JjK5yJlr8M3_j

It wasn't "boycotts" that led to that, it was overall sentiment. Plus the inevitable realization that Tesla, among other companies is only big on paper and actually doesn't make or own anything all that unique or valuable.

Happy 311 day to those who celebrate. Here's one of my favorite deeper cuts https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=2-ZdrDOEKEA&si=6adknTFN4vVQ8saq (311 at their most Phish-y)

"if people don't buy a Tesla, they'll buy gas cars..." My dude, you know that EVs are more than just Teslas, right? Yet one more reason to destroy that company.

BlueAnon is so back

if you replaced these guys' inboxes with a woman sportswriter's, they'd commit suicide by lunchtime

Just reminded myself how hard the ending of Coffin Text Spell 714 goes

speaking with people about abolitionist politics really is just like "how do u see a world without prisons" "yeah i think we should just exile everyone who does harm" with absolutely no thought about what happens then when there is a mini-nation of people who have been excluded from public life

Gotta say, so far this season of Severance has been a bit of a disappointment. Lotta navel-gazing. The cinematography is exceptional, but I feel like there is way less momentum.

I wonder if "Dunkin' Donuts" is a sly nod to "dunking" one's donut into a cup of coffee. If so, hilarious

This is Palestine (going on 4 years ago). You never see this side of it in western media. (that is to say: happy) https://youtu.be/x9VYKrtziSg?si=mTEfnuAG0zPaNRfJ

Holding up a little sign that says “please stop” as the notorious serial killer, Illiterate Bob, stabs me to death

Also if the shit really hits the fan, permits, waiting periods and CCW licenses will be a non-issue

As tacticook girlfriend pointed out: a gun is a small part of any kind of resistance training: Mechanical skills, first aid, physical training, etc. are all going to be far more necessary for resistance.

@helldude.bsky.social has managed to personally make a sitting vice President go and tell the papers that he isn’t mad. Incredible.
