A post on threads from user stephens_bens. It reads 'I'll always remember an interview with Steve Buscemi on Bulleye, Jesse Thorn asked him "As an actor with many decades of varied and outstanding roles across your career, does it ever bother you that one of the things you will most be remembered for is a 3-second gif in which you're wearing a backwards baseball cap and carrying a skateboard?" And without missing a beat, Buscemi replied "I'm carrying *two* skateboards." And you know what? He is.' Below that is a screen cap of Buscemi's famous "fellow kids" moment.

I never noticed this either.

It is nice to take a walk to get the bag of food

NFL offensive players: i just think we need to stop picking people from new mexico. i mean nobody any disrespect but football is an american sport.

NFL defensive players: carly rae jepsen is mother

sorry maybe this is an unnecessary level of stating the obvious, but sometimes when someone says they don’t think puerto ricans are “american,” it isn’t an opportunity to do a little civics gotcha & tell them about the insular cases. they just mean they think real americans are white.

you don't become a martyr because you were a saint, you become a saint because you were martyred

trying to imagine what kind of democratic party messaging would have resonated with this person and my brain just BSODs

Pantograph is building a "daycare for robots" where they can learn unsupervised. These low cost robot crabs are part of the solution. pantograph.com/blog/buildin...

Asking the ICE agent beating a guy up on the pavement to hold still so I can scan his QR code that he was required to wear instead of a badge that can simply be read

For a literal decade the official CBP policy has been “don’t stand in front of or behind vehicles” because the decade before that their internally commissioned studies found that agents were putting themselves in front of vehicles so as to shoot the occupants

really love thinking about how ICE is not only a recent creation and serves no purpose but also every presidency in my lifetime is far more restrictive and punitive on immigration than reagan, of all fucking people, was

thinking about the last grasps of people still going on about how abolish ICE isn't realistic or a bad slogan and picturing these guys in the 50s going "well we obviously just can't get RID of HUAC and it's bad messaging to say that's what you want"

Pastor: I said to this ICE agent, 'Take me, stop harassing her.' The agent got in my face, pointed a gun at me, and said, 'Are you afraid now?' To which I said, 'I am not afraid.'

This kind of thing does point out a real ethical dilemma: block or mute?

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

I am in some ways slightly more sympathetic than most to elected Dems right now as people scream Do Something at them, because there really, truly is not all that much they have the power to do at the moment besides yell

but if all you can do is yell, the yelling has to be higher quality

we should teach kids to read cursive but not to write it

any democrat who hedges on this should be screamed at until they quit tbh and if they don't, they should lose their next primary

i read this and i just see a lazy person with a skill issue

in a world without sauerkraut this is a correct take

I've waited 3 years to make this post

when gmail says "By Gemini; there may be mistakes" is it intentional that "by gemini" is an old minced oath, like it's where "jiminy" comes from?

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

Blanket censoring the word “gambling” is literally a pro gambling move.

Gambling platforms avoid the word for obvious reasons, so YouTube eliminating its use under the pretense of combating gambling is the best fucking cover a gambling platform could ask for.

It’s pretty disgusting.

to me a floof with such a pointy beak is equally kiki and bouba

Where I land on the Kat Abu thing is that campaign finance rules feel like they come from a different, West Wing-ier era of politics that feels incredibly out of touch with current jurisprudence on corruption of public officials and oh yeah Trump II

my awful nerd brain looking for anachronisms doesn't find much. what have i got? oh hoh hoh 650 area code??

freeze framing "milk" it's cool to see present-day castro business awnings like brand x antiques and orphan andy's which though not necessarily historically accurate are very believable to the period
