that alfonso guy

ahh hes just a dumb kid who wait a second hold up

“I don’t know what’s going on and nobody does” is such a telling thing to throw in there. I think everyone knows exactly what’s going on? Also why would your dad send you a hundred texts saying the same thing

"I just want to say, go birds, fuck ICE and free Palestine," "Hacks" star Hannah Einbinder at the #Emmys

I will say that I find it weird that a lot of people are like "this is the moment that will tip us into violence" when a Minnesota politician was assassinated in her home 2 months ago and someone literally shot Trump in the head last year. how exactly is charlie kirk the tipping point

I think if you listen to a podcast with fake AI people saying AI generated words you are functionally dead, you are basically a phone to me at that point

Iconic moment at the Downton Abbey premiere

That we have a cinematic universe with two scumbag grifters presented as heroes is distinctly American 🐀

happy labor day

My kind of union man

The Ghazal I Asked For After Larry Levis I will light novels on fire, hold them high, let syntax drip onto my chest, crisp like hot wax on skin, old burnt words I will collect texture, take scuffs from brick, pull hangnails Blindfolded, I will read like braille the world's hurt words I will lie naked on wet gazettes, osmose an aria from touch hope that it works; that on my skin there will lurk words What to do with these words; arrange them? Play Tetris with image, hold an adverb, flip familiar, overheard words? I will work from taste, find my way from zest and stale air I will sit at the edge of the bed. You will kneel: her words I will hold until the moment to make something worth something I learn to love pain, hope I have deserved or earned words I will pull the words from my skin. I'll bind and sign them Alfonso. I give you all I have, and now they're your words

I love to show up every day for my job, which is standing around holding the front of my tactical vest and getting told to choke to death by thousands of passers-by while 11 of my coworkers handcuff a roofer on his way to work. Every night I drive 80 minutes home, thinking about nothing at all.

Appraiser touching a coat. Caption: coat that if touched loses all value $0-$0

Model plane. Caption: plane from when people were smaller $22,000-$30,000 (in big people money)

A mirror in which you can see the photographer. Caption: photographer trapped in mirror. $5,000-$6,000

Appraiser and man both laughing, looking at some weird bowls. Caption: bowls that make you laugh $350-$500

I'm feeling grumpy, so in an attempt to change that I am posting these old fake Antiques Roadshow pictures that make me laugh

WELL I'M PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN
WHERE AT LEAST I HAVE AC
AND I WON'T FORGET THE BRITS WHO DIED
IN THE HEATWAVE OF '03
AND I'LL GLADLY SIT DOWN IN MY ROOM
AND ENJOY THAT SWEET COLD AIR
THAT HOT HOT SEETHE AND EURO COPE
GOD BLESS MY FRIGIDAIRE!

every 3 or so years the greater Internet finds their new “BOOKWORLD” to make fun of much like farmers would rotate crops in feudal times

this actually might be even more impactful than going on 400,000 hudson news tvs that have been on mute since 2018 and saying “sometimes which it’s the voters of politics whom this great nation of when it’s most of all”

I think what establishment democrats need to understand is that most of us hate them all very much for being so persistently useless and shitty in our time of desperation and it fills our hearts with hope and joy when someone who might not be those things beats them.

Ryan Coogler shouting out Michael Mann’s THIEF.

third amendment continues to pull its weight as the secret funniest load bearing cog in america's stupid machine

If you think a few people on bluesky asking you to support your claim is "getting attacked" you may need to reevaluate a lot of things

Still not hearing anything positive about the democrats, you're making this look very difficult

again, i get that it’s usually well-intentioned, but it’d be great to stop saying “hardworking immigrants” as it implies that immigrants should only be valued for labor, & specifically for citizens + the state, when immigrants should be treated well because we are, well, people

If anyone suggested I use "AI" for art or writing I would cave their skull in with a fire extinguisher

Idk who needs to hear this but ACAB includes YA authors

the guy in the snapdragon commercial who uses ai to generate a bedtime story to tell his kids demonstrates that ai is really useful for inventing new and astonishing ways to be a loser

No. This is somewhere to be. This is all you have, but it's still something. Streets and sodium lights. The sky, the world. You're still alive.

I'm irrationally angry that anyone would pick Glycerine over Doesn't Remind Me

You're telling my ass we can bring back a prehistoric wolf but we can't get Outkast back together and whatnot?
