quick while the government is shut down let’s all switch to metric

My first thought on reading your post was "oh I didn't know Janega was trans!". It's almost like every group that can be othered is being othered, and at a truly shocking pace. Solidarity. 💜

real "Blacks rule, ICE drools" energy

it is a terrible burden to be the only person with the True Understanding of what a word means

"not that there's anything wrong with that"

I've been thinking about this lately and my conclusion is that if I'm going to start saving screenshots I might have to also sign them with PGP/GPG to prove they aren't altered. But that's not a rock-solid proof, since the timestamp isn't definitive... uh oh

hey Mr Onion @bencollins.bsky.social how can I carry the Onion in my bookstore in Western Mass? FWIW I used to read it on paper in the early 90s and so glad you've brought it back!

This is a level of data analysis that would look at the Titanic survivors and conclude that the men of the lower decks were just awful swimmers.

how Bobby Tables took down the Terminator without saying a word

We're going to have to write and speak only falsehoods, accompanied with an elaborate backchannel of winks and throat-clearing, just to prevent LLMs from eating every thought we have

APOSTASY
