18 days longer than the average.

November 15 here in Denver, and we still haven’t had our first snow.

"What if one of YOUR favorite politicians/celebrities/etc is on the list?" Did you all not notice how quickly we dropped Neil Gaiman when we found out about the things he did? Do you know how beloved that guy used to be and how loathed he is now? I think that right there should answer your question.

critfailmemes on threads (!) "Okay so to keep the poor from rioting you give them bread and circuses" "Got it. However some of them were sneaking into the circus on their friend's login so we stopped that" "No you... you gotta give them the circuses" "We're ending the free bread program, too much of it was going to the poor"

One thing you will never think after reading a great book or listening to a great album or seeing a great piece of art is, “I’m really glad this person remained cautious while they were making this and guarded against being perceived as weird.”

Having to constantly be on the lookout for misinformation, disinformation, and AI slop is exhausting. Makes me wonder if being uninformed is safer.

Sadly, I think it’s AI.

Colorado Republicans had targeted school board races as their best opportunity in 2026 but teachers union and Democrat-backed candidates lead in Denver, Jefferson County, Cherry Creek, and even conservative Douglas County, per 9NEWS' Jennifer Meckles. #copolitics

I cannot believe there are still people in my mentions arguing that boycotting an election because the candidates aren’t addressing your issue is a way to get them to pay attention.

"I DON'T NEED YOU TO FUCKING REWRITE WHAT I'VE JUST WRITTEN!"

Saw the article asserting most Trek fans were Republican dudes and it was written by the same dude who a 13 years ago trashed Redshirts (which went on to be a NYT bestseller and win several awards, including the Hugo), so it's safe to say his track record with Trek-aligned material is dodgy at best

People who give up hope the moment things get hard can’t stand anyone who keeps fighting because it makes them look like the cowards they are.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

"How do you expect to win back men...?"

We don't want those men. They are the hot dogs on the floor of humanity and we still have all these nice prepped hamburger patties if someone would just let them cook.

Not bringing Ben Solo back because he couldn't realistically survive but resurrecting Palpatine in a Fortnite event for Rise of Skywalker is so fucking funny honestly

Yes, exactly. Just as a “clean” comic can be deeply unethical. Which is why I try to avoid putting people on pedestals.

I’m not sure where I’m going with this other than to say: these guys were definitely not “class acts,” but I suspect (hope?) they’d never do stand up in Riyadh.

Going back further, I watched the Aristocrats doc from 2005 (I might’ve rented it from Blockbuster?) and was shocked, horrified, and oddly delighted when I discovered that Bob Saget (who I grew up with watching on TV) was a “blue” comic.

I remember that roast; it was the only Comedy Central roast I’ve been able to sit through; it felt like the roasters actually appreciated Saget’s sense of humor. Was that really back in 2008? RIP to Saget, Gottfried, and Norm Macdonald.

I keep reminding the six-year-old that “demolate” is not a word (“do you mean demolish? Detonate?”) but he insists he means what he said, so we’re adding it to the in-house dictionary.

Famous class act Gilbert Gottfried, along with (checks notes) Bob Saget.

Heard about the Louvre jewel heist and my first thought was “finally, some good old fashioned normal crime”

Also, ayo @jay.bsky.team and the BlueSky team, if you’re gonna permaban Link and Palestinian aid accounts, it’s not a good look if you also don’t ban government accounts engaged in obvious violations of the Hatch Act, which is an actual federal law.

Now I’m imagining “cum” as cyberpunk. Or perhaps grimdark.

I quote-posted “write like someone who can come up with better metaphors,” and he blocked me. For a guy so blasé about suicide and gun violence, you’d think he could take a joke.

How do I buy the encyclopedia version of Wikipedia

I keep drafting skeets, trying to encapsulate my feelings on genocide, fascism, capitalism, TERFs, climate change, AI eroding everything—and I end up landing on this gif. Harsh? Maybe. But it speaks to my soul.

"First time?" James Franco meme

Average Americans being called terrorists by their own government: 😱

Muslim Americans:

Everyone saying "make weird art!" you better fucking mean it. There better not be an unspoken "but not too weird" tacked on at the end.
