ë̈m̈, the pastel goblin 🏳️‍⚧️🐍

I wish you for a quiet, sane efficient and peaceful day with at least one surprisingly nice thing in it and that it happens today.

I honestly wish there was a way to mute images that don't have alt text. How are you a journalist and not using alt text. It's absurd.

100% thought that that was a picture of Jack Black on the left

i mean, holy moly, josie. that’s one hell of a glow-up

i propose that the election be a lottery,
chosen randomly from among the 40-50 year old women of america

if the winner seems excited to be president, you just draw again

i can’t imagine the results could possibly be any worse, and would probably be so much better

we could use someone who has felt disempowered

someone who has lived a life unshielded from consequences

someone who still has far more of a moral compass than anyone who has ever held that office

someone who knows what it feels like to be punched while she’s down and refuses to do that to others

it’s so telling, because punching down is universally understood to be terrible behavior

just the absolute worst assholes running the place. it has always been assholes running the place, but it is so much worse than it has always been

i think we should choose an average 40-to-50-yo lady at random

my wife made meatball hot pockets while I was out on vacation, because my kids discovered that Nestlé makes hot pockets, and they refuse to eat Nestlé

which, honestly, hell yeah

i love that my kids are straight-up woke

that’s because it always IS cis activists

and Tiny Em, who did NOT go to sleep early like she planned…

Hey everyone—I’m muting my posts about Sentona Games reneging on our contract and stiffing me for $24k. I just keep getting unsolicited legal advice that isn’t applicable, people “jokingly” suggesting violence, and unpleasant reminders of getting screwed over every few minutes.

HELL yeah

let us know what we can do to help

@dril 5 months ago not My 75 IQ ass struggling to review canned octopus wasnt the best but was good for i want it. thanks

My neighbor told me Israelis keep eating his Iranian leaders so I asked how many leaders he has and he said he just goes to exiled opposition figures and gets a new leader afterwards so I said it sounds like he's just feeding Iranian leaders to Israelis and then his country started crying

they desperately need everyone to use AI, so they can justify its existence

no way they’d paywall it, unfortunately

precisely, well put

this is entirely beside the point, but a whole bunch of people in this thread have no idea how French works, and are trying to insist that it should be spelled “targét”

don’t correct people if you don’t know what you’re talking about, damn

congratulations, but also can i say, that angle is absolutely WILD

even though my brain kinda understands how lenses work, there’s another part of my brain that is cracking up because i swear this is a picture of a 12 foot tall woman

(please know that I am first and foremost celebrating you)

ditto is genderfluid

yeah, very happy with my Costco membership

younger teen and I go there every week to top up on staples, and to get a very cheap and gigantic slice of honestly decent pizza

it is a little frustrating to, for example, not know if they’re going to have chili in stock, but it’s still worth it

the good (?) news is that they don’t seem to be inclined to go that route, so it is entirely theoretical at this point

let’s say target actually said “you know what? We were wrong, and we’re sorry” and they took action to restore DEI and brought back queer merchandise

if we say “lol, no way“, the only thing that they over (and other retailers) have learned is that if they screw up, there’s no point trying to fix it

OK, maybe I’m just tender hearted, but I feel like if target actually apologized to the black community and the LGBTQ community and started catering to those communities again, I would go back

i wouldn’t be happy about it, but i’d prefer companies to have an incentive to reform their behavior

Hell, yeah, sooz. get their ass

when I see myself shirtless in the mirror, my initial momentary impression is “what if Billy Idol and Cyndi Lauper had a baby“ and honestly, i don’t hate it

it does make me want to find/strike a pose, so i do end up doing all sorts of dumb things with my shoulders while i’m brushing my teeth

someday, when I am fabulously wealthy, I will hire you to eat prosciutto

it is possible that these singers are KINDA in on the joke and making fun of themselves, but this feels WAY too authentic to be a parody or anything like that

The Christian side hug is absolutely a real thing - when you want to demonstrate that you’ve got that agape love, and NOT that eros love

if you ever had any doubts about whether or not AIPAC took positions in good faith, they put out an ad accusing Kat of ~being a republican~

these are not just unserious people
these are outright dishonest and manipulative people, beholden to billionaires and clinging in terror to their fading power

OK, productive lunch hour. skull sorted, key configured and inserted, gardens reached

Hell, yeah, mother is the best

I have access to a scale (but nothing in particular to weigh), a kiln (but with nothing to burn), and a carved skull (which is not behaving as i’d expect) and a configurable key (which i think i understand)
