i stand corrected: bsky.app/profile/mtsw...

just to be clear since I guess it confused some people; I am agreeing with mtsw! I was amplifying in talking about the relationship to autism, not disagreeing.

One of my favorite examples of this is actually a tristate area one: in THE SOPRANOS, Tony refers to Christopher repeatedly as his "nephew" but they're actually nebulously-defined cousins - the show eventually made a running joke out of refusing to explain the family tree. bsky.app/profile/mtsw...

None of this is correct. Good thing we have a steady hand on "nuclear"

yup, and it’s even worse this time because we do actually have a program to help with this problem and the people running things are deliberately not using already appropriated money to keep it going while they illegally shift other money around to pay the military

There were thousands of individuals who bravely resisted the Nazis and tried to help their fellow human beings. And they did if fact save a lot of lives!

But the Nazis still killed MILLIONS.

“we bribed the people running the torment nexus to turn it off for five minutes using our life’s savings”

there are going to be a lot of stories in the next couple weeks about the generosity of ordinary people in helping their fellow Americans and all of them will be wonderful and none of them should be necessary

we don’t have to have a government this cruel and capricious

I seem to recall 'I was only following orders!' not working as a defense at Nuremberg either....

Those soldiers know right from wrong. They took an oath to uphold the constitution not some fat ass five time draft dodging bum. There will be a day when they & yes he will be held accountable for their actions.

Please wake me when white women listen to black women. Thank you.

I have no idea what this means. If they were one issue voters, a luxury black voters are unable to be, then to hell with Dearborn. If Gaza was your only concern then I have nothing to say to you while the country you currently live in burns to the ground.

I for one don't get the stigma against antidepressants. A large segment of society takes them. If anything it means you're seeking professional treatment!

I'm gonna hazard a guess right now-not a whole lot and people who watch Fox are living in a total fantasy world.

I’ve been thinking a lot about a new kind of polling I’d like to see. We have polling that measures public opinion, which is obviously important, but I’d love to see a little more empirical work on public knowledge: what do voters know about politics and policy?

But what does it mean to "drop them"? If abolishing the death penalty is unpopular, should blue states reinstate it? Should the next Democratic administration leave Trump's no-one-but-white-South-Africans refugee policy in place? (Because anything else will be an increase, and thus unpopular.)

At least four strangers asked me this weekend why I was traveling and when I told them it was to finish my book, none asked if I was a famously reclusive author they might’ve heard of. So, yeah. It’s bleak out there for a word baller, fam.

JUST HIRE A HUMAN GRAPHIC ARTIST!

2. Silver lining is that's actually pretty likely given how hated Donny and Pete are by the rank and file!

Seriously we all know the AI bubble is found to fail sooner or later but honestly the sooner it happens the better.

I don't care if you finish ASOIAF. Just finish this and we're even.

still thinking about that Amazon VP admitting unprompted and of his own volition that they didn't do even the most minimal market research on what Steam actually is before trying to compete with it

The Worst Democratic Appointment of My Life - Lawyers, Guns & Money Yep, Biden really had his pulse on the nation--depoliticizing everything through having Merrick Garland as his AG was a real winner! Acting on a mix of principle and caution, Justice Department offici...

Our best hope at this point is a rebellion by military officers against Trump AND Hegseth.

He's gonna drop a nuke on some innocent people in a boat in the Gulf of Mexico or something and give his supporters in Florida fallout disease isn't he 🤦🏻‍♀️

If there was anyone sane left in the Cabinet the 25th Amendment would have been invoked ages ago.

But Donny of course has surrounded himself with lunatics, fools, and con artists so here we are.

Nope. I wasn’t a joking.

2. Meanwhile two intelligent films defiantly aimed at Adult audiences; One Battle After Another and Sinners have both been hits in no small part because their themes were timely and relevant!

🤷‍♀️

Adult Upscale Films Box-Office Failure Examined A recent feature piece over at Deadline has gone into the underwhelming box office performance of original auteur-driven adult films in recent months. The big reveal in the piece that has got everyone...

Not to say the crisis of diminishing audiences for Adult Films isn't real....but I can't help thinking a BIG problem for After the Hunt was a movie about how MeToo went too far is a tough sell when we have a convicted sex offender in the White House.
