“I was a piece of shit in seventh grade, like I very much am today”

Everywhere I’ve ever been, you could always just walk in whatever bathrooms there were. It’s not like they card at the door. The social stigma against being a creepy pest is all that ever stopped you, and that doesn’t change because trans people exist and need to use the bathroom sometimes.

this just played on tv with no audio and almost killed me

People always say: "if libraries didn't already exist, you could never create them today." Well, lots of the stuff MAGA nihilists are destroying right now is like that. We're not just going to put it all back in place when this if over. It's going to take *generations* to repair this shit.

FanDuel? Like when you play Kitana vs Jade on Mortal Kombat?

YOUNG MAN, there's no need to feel down i said YOUNG MAN, pagliacci the clown you can SEE HIM he is playing in town you should go and have a good time

Ursula le Guin, on the accusation that fantasy is an escape from reality

being obsessed with IQ is a good sign that you have nothing in your life to give you actual meaning. (also a good sign you have bell curve-esque beliefs about human equality)

Dear Mr. Musk, What we found out is that each one of us is 1. a brain 2. and an athlete 3. and a basket case 4. a princess 5. and a criminal. Does that answer your question?

explaining the year 2025 to the first guy i see after arriving in 1985: ...yeah and in the future if you wanna smoke weed you can just push the button on this apparatus 1985 guy: wait back up what was that about the coup? me: *coughing my lungs out for a solid 90sec after hitting a blinker* what?

Jack Reacher is the kind of autistic representation I can really get behind

From a FOIA perspective, "the entire federal workforce should write down and email what they did last week" is extremely funny

Jeffries: hey the GOP controls the government, absolutely nothing i can do, gonna work on my personal book tour Sanders: brb i am going to personally barnstorm strategic GOP house districts and try to peel off 2 votes so we can block Trump's cuts to Medicaid www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-...

Senator Mark Warner spills the beans about "the real story" of how the TikTok ban went down. Turns out, its passage had more to do with the Gaza war than China. www.kenklippenstein.com/p/tiktok-ban...

From @kateconger.com @rmac.bsky.social book “Character Limit”:

friend on fb called Mac McClung 'Good Will Dunking' and I spit out my coffee

Herman Melville's "Moby Dick" has perhaps the most memorable opening line in all of Western literature: "I hope you motherfuckers like reading about whales"

trump: we are going to save on social security by euthanizing everyone’s grandparents and replacing them with guys who respond “i’ve never had this problem” on tech support threads dems: the middle class did not vote for a gay president

“A far more transactional approach to corruption cases” is a world-case euphemism for “you can bribe Trump to drop your bribery charge”

haha that’s so crazy (pulling out a giant feather quill and adding your name to a book labeled COLLABORATORS)

Philadelphia Enjoys Quiet Week Of Super Bowl Victory Reflection

everything reminds me of her

Silicon Valley guy who feels intellectually maxed out by the cubicle version of Lost is such a funny concept. “this speculative fiction is dealing me sustained HP damage!!”

in what meaningful way can we say that the constitution is in effect when an unelected and unaccountable billionaire is wielding state power to unilaterally cancel congressional appropriations?

Drake is the all-time biggest loser of a rap feud and that includes people who have gotten shot and died as a result of rap feuds

oh god did you hear what yankee doodle dandy's goofy ass said while he was riding that idiotic pony into town today?? i made a rhyme to remember. pretty clever i think but it won't be my most enduring work or anything. it's funny but i'll never achieve a sort of immortality through it. but it's good

Guess we're just not calling shit.

even when it's nazis doing nazism, the press has to call them communists

for years I had been bothered by how often @fleerultra.bsky.social responds to texts with the little “haha” reaction. it felt cheap and hollow. but last week we were hanging out and I saw him laughing in real life as he sent the haha reaction. it was real the whole time.

This probably isn’t the developers’ top priority (although it should be), but I’d love to see the Bluesky app have an option to switch to the Julian calendar for those of us who reject the lies of Pope Gregory XIII

Whoever came up with “big naturals” must have worked in marketing

when you use detach quote, the detached quoter should hear the sonic-loses-rings sound effect

Mavs fans go extremely hard. From today's protest over the Luka trade via @bobbykaralla.bsky.social on the other site

I really don't think the process by which "we add more new jobs to an area but don't add more new housing" produces more homelessness is actually very counterintuitive or hard to understand and yet

the unemployment rate having been low recently is beneficial to most workers (including low wage ones) for direct and indirect reasons and also the rate of homelessness has gone up related to things like lack of housing in big cities. it’s two different somewhat-but-not-fully-related issues.
