This isn't "one bad apple" shit. It never was. This isn't even a collection of rotten apples that has spoiled the other apples.

They were never apples. The fruit was always poison. All of it.

In light of today’s absolutely fucking deranged “I’m in a war movie” speeches by Trump and Hegseth, I give you the plaque at West Point.

This guy is basically Ben Dreyfuss paying an addict to let him hunt him for sport,but he then monetises it and calls it entertainment to millions of people. Total psychopath.

Educated a whole bunch of people I had just met about @chucktingle.bsky.social and honestly I feel really good about it.

It feels so fucking insane to be scolded about how leftists need to tone down our rhetoric while the world's richest man endorses this shit

Apropos of nothing

Distro * 🙄

Oooooh can’t wait for the foldable version to districts at FNB!!!

Totally just followed @tyang209.bsky.social bc of a Dirty Laundry episode w reference to why he didn’t work on the Biden campaign. #respect

Benjamin Franklin: Write down "no dumb fucks as president"

Alexander Hamilton: Stop saying that

Benjamin Franklin: I'm tellin' you. You're gonna regret not writing that down

r/Lollapalooza 3 yr. ago DaL 028 Join [deleted] I'm excited for Limp Bizkit, but I'm a little worried about Antifa... Question I'm sick and tired of seeing these thugs terrorize big events and am worried that they will try to interrupt Limp Bizkit's set. My gf (F19) and I (M31) are going to our first Lollapalooza and are concerned about the growing threat around the city

The philosophical justification for what’s happening in DC is basically this Reddit post

One cool way to solve homelessness that isn’t an authoritarian take over of a city is to give everyone homes

A book titled "Outdoor Pigs: How to Make them Pay."

those damned outdoor pigs can't keep getting away with this

You likely would be, and it’s why we need stuff like UBI and universal healthcare. Turns out people are a lot more productive if they’re not worried about dying if they lose their job

Good news: None of that matters and we have microwave lights again!

Bad news: It was a royal PITA to figure out where the in-cavity lightbulb was supposed to go, we blew a fuse (and thought we’d blown a $20 lightbulb), AND we discovered that the cover for the space where the lightbulb goes has broken flanges where it’s supposed to screw in.

Good news: We replaced both lightbulbs in our over-stove microwave (which is also supposedly a convection oven? But I have no instruction manual or shelves that supposedly go with it?)

We have reached the point in summer where I’m yelling “fuck you, dude!” At mosquitoes.

the idea that winning an election means you have a mandate to do anything you want needs to die in a ditch

The Hugo Awards (2026)

It's been a hot minute since I reminded folks to please list their 2025 SFF media faves in the Hugo Spreadsheet of Doom. Categories that need help, if you're into them and know the field: graphic story, editor(s), pro artist, all fan categories (sob), and the Astounding! #HugoAwards

Literally six and a half minutes left in the audiobook of Death of the Author by @nnedi.bsky.social and my mind has been blown. I did NOT see that coming!

“Guy’s multiplying faster than a Catholic rabbit” might be my favorite quote from any of the MCU… so far.

YOUR FOES WOULD SEE YOU SLEEPLESS: RESIST AND REST.

Ideally, a country should be led by a person that understands that other people are real.

what the absolute fuck is wrong with everyone in power.

I feel like it’s hard to have discussions on AI because very reasonable positions are being treated like they’re saying “all AI bad, good AI impossible.”

But we cannot have a reasonable discussion of AI without talking about who is making it and how.

The idea that pro-trans movements led to anti-trans sentiment is egregiously out of touch with reality. Increased LGBTQ representation led to historic shifts in public opinion toward the community. The aggressively bigoted and violent campaigns that lied about trans people are clearly responsible
