I truly don’t get the appeal of podcasts having to be video now. Podcasts are at their very best when you’re doing something else, working out or playing videogames etc, and no good podcaster has ever been someone who should be shown on screen that’s just not how that works. It’s a goblin job.

This is so good!

I have a working theory that Twitter and group chats are functioning effectively the same way Versailles did before the French Revolution. All the rich people are hanging out and cooking their brains, in part because all they interact with are other rich people with similarly cooked brains

It only happened once

Whenever I feel alone I try to remind myself that my parents are looking down on me with love and hoping that one day I’ll find happiness with a special someone, and that when I do I’ll finally let them out of the attic.

This is my blood I marvel at the design of our weapons. So sophisticated that they can transform any man woman or child into a terrorist. Writing in their flight between launch and concussion an entire alternate history of a life. Just as the cop’s bullet convicts you of a crime. Its presence in your body evidence enough that it always belonged there. A violent transubstantiation.

This is my blood

This is what Gen-X sounds like sometimes:

"In my day, all of the bubblegum had spider eggs in it, and we loved it!"

A huge group of people are in a giant hole in the middle of a rolling field. There is a large sign with an arrow pointing to the hole that says "HOLE." Suddenly the group's attention turns to a new hole, complete with a giant sign with an arrow pointing to it that says "NEW HOLE." One person points to the new hole and says "hey look! Someone made a new hole!" The mass clamours out of the old hole and makes a bee-line toward the new hole. It's chaos. One person, now situated in the new hole says "this feels like how the old hole used to feel." Another person nods in agreement.

forum wars took over the government. the 10,000-page thread spilled out into the streets. people are getting their doors blown open and hogtied so that nerds can win an online argument. they tanked the dollar and fucked the economy permanently to own you

Nobody seems to be talking about this! Even outside of all the obvious harms to them and their families, are their employers not furious to lose workers over this nonsense?

White House authorizes deployment of National Guard to Illinois Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker said there was "no need for military troops on the ground."

If this happens, those NG will be pulled from their civilian jobs—many without pay—to ALSO not be paid during the shutdown. They are going to starve these soldiers’ families to make sizzle reels on Twitter.

Hard to think of a topic more tailor-made to the peculiarities of Bluesky's demographics than gifted kid discourse - seemingly everyone's a former gifted kid who's exactly 38 thus is likely to now have gifted kids of their own.

I think yes, especially within the cohort of college-educated, cubicle-farmed normies who've been taught that working class == lower class. It's self-delusion, but I think it's very real for the "middle class" of Americans

WHAT YOU FAIL TO SEE MR POPE

I didn't live close but go through that area occasionally. Never found time to actually meet him, and like you I am very glad about that. And the worst part is that, looking back, there were signs I shouldn't have missed

That one was a fucking gut punch to me. I felt so dumb, and embarrassed too

Regardless, I know what you mean! There were multiple people back then who I liked and thought I was friends with, until suddenly it's like "oh you're a totally different person irl and holy shit." You thinking about ypms?

Did somebody go down recently? My Twitter gossip is years old at this point

Traffic stop in Benton leads to ICE detention, deportation risk What began as a routine traffic stop in Benton ended with a man jailed, detained by immigration authorities for a month, and now living under the threat of deportation —

Arkansas police pulled over an Indian GrubHub driver wh ois married to a U.S. citizen. They found a bottle of Opium-brand perfume, arrested him for narcotics possession, and turned him over to ICE, where he was held for 30 days.

He has now been stripped of his immigration status.

Pope Leo XIV Today, more than ever, we must return to the heart, the center of feeling and emotion, the locus of freedom. Though it includes reason, the heart transcends and transforms it. Only by returning to the heart can we undergo a true ecological conversion that transforms our personal Austin I reject this whole heartedly. What you fail to see Mr Pope, the Bible says

really enjoying all the people trying to explain the bible to the pope today

I for one look forward to our future immigration services filled entirely with men who somehow have a butt-chin but need a beard to fake a jawline
