The one where they go to the beach. Ross crawls into a beached whale as a prank. Phoebe, tired of his buffoonery, sings to it. Reminds it of the water it left. Of the water in what is left. In a shower of decaying flesh it returns to the ocean one last time. Rachel tries to buy someone's towel.

I was at a punk show in 83 where a skinhead jumped up on stage and gave a Nazi salute. The bass player hit him with his bass, knocking him into the crowd and 150 people collectively hauled his ass out of the venue and threw him in the mud. This was the right and only appropriate response.

Absolutely this. If fear and the perception of power are the tools of a tyrant, then we can't be feeding into that mechanism. Otherwise, it just beats people down further into complying in advance.

We call them "the Greatest Generation" for shooting Nazis.

Mhhhhhhhh

Ex NFL player @chriswarcraft.bsky.social protesting the inclusion of a MAGA acronym in the Huntington Beach library plaque at last night’s council meeting. He was arrested and cited.

It would really help if the cisses spoke up for us! If nothing else, it helps with court challenges.

Apropos of absolutely nothing, a commemorative Welsh mug on the occasion of the beheading of Louis XVI

God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. We need to fix this before mom comes home.

If you had a time machine, would you go back and give baby Hitler a tepid nickname

If you believe in science, then you believe in masking. We HAVE to promote masks as protection ALONGSIDE vaccines and air filtration. A comprehensive study in 2024 showed this to be true again! The only reason for refusing to mask now is conformity or stubbornness journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...

KRANGAROO

no one in history has bitten the moon [pulling my teeth and loading them into a potato gun] not until now

Elon Musk is the kind of idiot who'd watch Indiana Jones and still open the Ark, and I wish he would, because that nazi's face is not melting fast enough

Can never forget how much of what we’re going to see in the next four years was road-tested and normalized by the last four years.

Something you can do to stand against RFK jr’s attempt to make us all sicker is wear a mask when you share air with others. Resist mask bans. People who cannot afford to get sick have a right to exist in public. Masking will protect your health from him too.

Me? Well obviously I'm powerless to stop the horrible things from happening every day. Nothing I can do about those at all, I have no leverage at all. YOU, on the other hand, that's a different story. YOU have the power to give me $23

in america giant bodies of water can change their names, but trans people can’t

ATTENTION: here's a thorough, comprehensive thread about what YOU can do in your own way to help stop the juggernaut of idiocy from reaching full fruition; read it, share it, take action I HAVE SPOKEN

Ladies do NOT date a man who says he'll treat you like a queen he WILL declare himself head of the Church and behead you for not producing a male heir

I was thinking about the kind of idiots that would get on a spaceship to Mars flown by AI, learning nothing from 2001: A Space Odyssey, but that’s literally all this is: Morons letting their nazi cars pull a HAL9000 on them.

It's worth reiterating - Microsoft's own research indicates that use of generative AI degrades critical thinking skills and erodes confidence in unassisted decision making.

I got death threats for accurately describing GamerGate. I kept going with my work, despite the fact that I never had access to either the wealth or the elaborate security protocols of a United States Senator.

Just confirmed minutes ago: Elizabeth Warren will be joining us tomorrow at the CFPB. Details below. Please come if you can, and please do register because it helps with planning for crowd size. www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

KEEP CALLING YOUR REPS

Also, do NOT crop/obscure stuff using a social media app. There is no guarantee it's a destructive process or if the original gets saved to whatever site you are uploading to. On Twitter the stickers were just layered on top of the image when served. You could get to the original pretty easily.

Today’s still a good day to buy music on Bandcamp, since they’re donating their cut to help people impacted by the LA Wildfires. And my 31-track Jamuary album is now available: traiken.bandcamp.com/album/jamuar...

see what happens when you don’t prosecute motherfuckers for war crimes??

do you think that a tiny car has to be full of clowns to be considered a “clown car” or is a clown car a stand-alone entity outside of clowns that shrinks its occupants

A thing I'll never get about AI art. I never know if what I draw is gonna turn out the way I picture it. My skills aren't that reliable. But when it does, it feels great, because of the work put into it. It's why you do it.

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

If there’s anything we learn from the history of authoritarianism, it’s that once the authoritarian achieves small goals like purging the civil service & installing loyalists, they always just stop there and don’t go any further. Wait, hang on, I may not have read that book the whole way to the end.

If you want to help disabled people (and avoid becoming disabled yourself), one of the quickest and easiest ways to be an ally is to wear an N95 or better- in all public spaces.

Sometimes I’m too afraid to do anything, and sometimes I’m too angry to be afraid
