Gross

@velvetvoicews.bsky.social is doing a damn fine job as lead commentator for the G1 this round.

Today’s headlines are overwhelmingly depressing. So, I’m going to fart. It’ll help.

I see you, Na’vi

I’m just relieved the scourge on our nation, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, will finally stop bankrupting our economy with its educational programming.

Is hilarious. Is hilarious. Is hilarious.

Beware Green Water!

How dare you be a relatable politician that likes normal awesome things.

He could have killed those cows.

WWE News: Triple H scheduled for White House appearance Before SummerSlam takes place this weekend, Paul “Triple H” Levesque will be in Washington, D.C. on Thursday for an event at the White House.

This is not the only reason I watch AEW instead of WWE now, but it certainly helps. WWE has always been a pretty unethical company, but now they're indefensibly gross.

Suddenly responsible for everything. Weird.

“Nothing exists before right now!”

Emil Bove is younger than me? Evil really ages a guy, I guess.

I feel perfectly safe living in NYC and have for 25 years. Any tourist who's freaked out by our city is welcome to go back to the far less safe place that they live. (Also, if you don't like NYC, but you've invoked 9/11 to make a political point? You can take a long walk off a short pier.)

Study May Undercut Idea That Cash Payments to Poor Families Help Child Development

Now test children born wealthy and judge their cognitive function, or whatever this is, you ghouls.

The total wipeout!

Just so’s we’re all clear, almost 3/4 of everything we buy from Europe is now 15% more expensive.

Just quoting him exactly, instead of paraphrasing him, would fundamentally change his coverage.

Headline says "Trump: Global baseline tariff will likely be 15% to 20%"

News should remind us that this disruption in econ flow *of entire world* is SOLELY and ENTIRELY at the whim on one single person. Not Congress, not any international agreement, just one person. Who also happens to be ignorant, petulant, grievance-driven, etc

Don’t Panic Lock Screen

It’s a wholly remarkable book.

Every non keyboard-centric activist I know purposefully protects their joy and rest so they don't burn out. Anyone who thinks you should burn out to prove something is actively making real change harder.

Tom Lehrer!

Lots of little kids at the Superman matinee, which was very cool to see. One boy in Superman pajamas loudly declared the kissing parts were gross. People are the best.

In a victory for the Trump Administration, everything just got more expensive.

RIP Tom Lehrer, your work stayed totally relevant for more than 60 years, I memorized much of it, you absolutely ruled, you made your entire body of work public domain, and you taught my wife math at Santa Cruz.

I didn’t know he was even still alive. What a singular weirdo!
