Avery Rhymes-with-slow-churn

Right wingers 4 years ago were freaking out that they were gonna be censored by big tech, and now that big tech is actually censoring people they’re celebrating it cause the censorship is aimed at people they don’t like.

Don’t ever forget their hypocrisy

On this day 12 years ago, @kcg.bsky.social posted the “This is Fine” comic.

Mike's book "Jewish Space Lasers" explained the centuries-long history of how Marjorie Taylor Greene came to blame wildfires on fictional direct energy weapons instead of climate change.

Yesterday, Mike's house burned down from climate-induced wildfires.

Please buy his remarkable book.

Jimmy Carter was the best that this country ever made. May we all hold his spirit close in the days and years to come.

I was so happy when he was elected, because with a child's intuition, I could tell he was a good man, a humble man, a man who would put us first. Every act of his since then has proven that little girl more right than she could have imagined.

"Don't let his legacy die. Don't let this country die. Let hope and faith be your guardrails." - Tony Lowden, the pastor at Jimmy Carter's Baptist church in GA

Carter was the first president I really knew as a child (I was only vaguely aware of the man whom I thought was called "General Ford"). 1/

Believe me, we’re all imagining that event. Picturing the conga line past the casket is all that gets me through.

Please share/repost and add to this thread of local news resources for folks in LA affected by the wildfires in Pacific Palisades, Altadena/Pasadena, and more: 🧵

Democratic Party under Biden passed the biggest climate change fighting package in US history.

Republican Party under Trump lies about climate change and aims to increase pollution.

The Green Party says there's no relevant difference between those two and it's important to work against the former.

🥳 It's here! The slightly unhinged book that ended up twice as long as planned but somehow still got finished, the charmingly messy book that made these last few months not only survivable but joyful. 🎄

I hope it brings a much-needed smile or laugh to you, too!

I didn’t even know there was an adult MMR vaccine. Thanks!

Also be sure to get your shingles vaccine if you’re eligible ASAP because the second dose has to be 2-6 months after the first.

New Christmas book announcement coming within the next week!

Can I be added please? Thank you so much for putting this together!💙

oh this is genuinely one of my favourite topics of conversation, no one knows how eels fuck, it's one of the funniest things I've ever come across, absolutely adore the idea of a scientist going home in the evening and telling their spouse "nah, still wouldn't fuck in front of us :("

It was so moving. I wanted to give him another puppy.

Same. I’ll walk outside if it’s 20 degrees F but not above 80 with 80% humidity. I have an elliptical machine in the basement, but it’s no substitute for breathing fresh air and saying hi to birds, so I never use it.

Sorry to keep reskeeting these, but they’re so 👨‍🍳💋

Fact check: Wimpy did not say “I won’t pay for this hamburger”. What he said was “I’ll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today”

BIDEN: Donald Trump wants to win the election

NYT FACT CHECK: There’s no evidence to support this claim. The reality of consciousness has never been proved by philosophers, and therefore the other minds problem is only the first of the logical abysses barring us from any true description of desire

FACT CHECK: It is not “a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.” We spoke with Mr. Richard Hetherington-Jones of Thelfall Manor, Yorkshire, who has £2000 per annum and does not wish to be wed at this time.

I believe Harris and Walz are doing a rally in Milwaukee tomorrow night.

Look, the 70s were a deeply questionable time okay

I think it’s beginning to settle just the tiniest bit on these people that they’re stuck yelling out the window at a raccoon to drop the rotisserie chicken

Been waiting all my life for comms like this
