It’s not even especially close. Superbad, Knocked Up, Blades of Glory, and Juno, so roughly the entire Millennial comedy slate, also came out that year

We washed our shower curtain and it shrank, and now it is exactly as long as it needs to be to reach the edge of the bathtub, and exactly as wide as from wall to wall. It’s entirely useless and we can’t stop laughing about it

People are going to die because of the pending insurance premium hikes. I know the terrain of discourse is inconsistent and goes through a tumble cycle every 24 hours, but I really think we need to hone in on this reality and drive it home for people.

As sad and exhausting as this deja vu is, I do think the way no one is actually falling for it is a testament to what satire and commentary from people like Jon Stewart can do. There's a whole generation of us raised on him calling BS on this and don't buy any of it for a second.

It will be very hard to dig ourselves out of the media hole we’ve dug, but I do think a meaningful next step after breaking up these monopolies would be to pass a law preventing a single entity to own more than, say 10% of a media company

don't see how it's controversial to say Paul Dano was too weak in There Will Be Blood... did you miss the part where he gets his ass beat by a eldery man and doesn't even knock 1HP off the old coot. could also greatly benefit from improved speed and agility

remember when you'd see weird pics online and look at em like, Wow why would anyone take the time to make this? it's not about A Meme, it's the death of expression and how cheerfully accepting it as a bygone conclusion, to the point that Making things no longer even occurs to you, is deeply pathetic

without birthright citizenship in the united states, you don't have a democracy and you don't have rule of law.

revoking birthright citizenship gives fascists free rein to purge the country of literally anyone they don't like. it opens the door to atrocities and mass murder. i am not exaggerating.

Look, I'm just gonna tell cishet white people right now--Newsom ain't the one. You got Walz and Pritzker out here. You do not need a Bill Clinton clone wearing Mitt Romney's skin.

I don’t want to vote for a Democrat who promises to get Trump’s voters to vote for them. I want a Democrat who wants to put Trump in prison

I hate Gavin Newsom with every fiber of my being, but I wish we could take his meme instincts and give them to, like, Andy Beshear or someone

It also never quite figured out if Charles Guiteau was tonally funny or tonally tragic, and ricochets between the two wildly

Trump Administration sees its chief foreign policy role as the backer of the far right international, all foreign policy bends to that aim.

The antidote cannot be pursuing far-right policy in half-measures like Starmer is or Biden did on Israel & the border. Internationalist solidarity or barbarism

this isn't fedposting, or shouldn't be. one of the penalties for what pete hegseth and general bradley has apparently done -- what bradley has admitted to -- is death. after a finding of precisely what he admitted to.

"the government should try, convict and then kill the secretary of defense for the crime he very obviously seems to have committed" seems like a radical thing to say, but -- no, it's not. it's the actual penalty for what pete hegseth, a man who ordered death squads to murder civilians, has done.

Probably so, but to not mark it as a change at all on the regatta packets, or to hold off on the draft packets until after the announcement, definitely FEELS calculated to avoid a backlash

In the new regatta packets, this change in the definitions is the only one not marked with an asterisk on the draft they released for public comment

@usrowingorg.bsky.social released its regatta packets for 2026, and quietly changed its rules to ban trans athletes from competing with their self-identified gender. They did this SHADILY as hell. They marked all changes from previous years with an asterisk except for this.
