Do you remember when the “concerned for the children” crowd went after online content about witchcraft because it should be 18+ since it could corrupt the kids?

Do you remember when the concerned for the children crowd went after Goth stuff for the same reason?

I do

They never stop at “porn”

I've spent a lot of time thinking about this fascinating exchange Colbert had with Dua Lipa, when she asked him about the role his faith plays in his comedy.

“It was a very healthy reciprocal acceptance of suffering,” he said. “Which does not mean being defeated by suffering. Acceptance is not defeat. Acceptance is just awareness.” He smiled in anticipation of the callback: “ ‘You gotta learn to love the bomb,’ ” he said. “Boy, did I have a bomb when I was 10. That was quite an explosion. And I learned to love it. So that's why. Maybe, I don't know. That might be why you don't see me as someone angry and working out my demons onstage. It's that I love the thing that I most wish had not happened.” I love the thing that I most wish had not happened. I asked him if he could help me understand that better, and he described a letter from Tolkien in response to a priest who had questioned whether Tolkien's mythos was sufficiently doctrinaire, since it treated death not as a punishment for the sin of the fall but as a gift. “Tolkien says, in a letter back: ‘What punishments of God are not gifts?’ ” Colbert knocked his knuckles on the table. “ ‘What punishments of God are not gifts?’ ” he said again. His eyes were filled with tears. “So it would be ungrateful not to take everything with gratitude. It doesn't mean you want it. I can hold both of those ideas in my head.”

when i think of Colbert, i think of an interview he gave to GQ when he first took over The Late Show, and had this to say about losing his father and brothers in a plane crash. www.gq.com/story/stephe...

This is Taco. He is the most relaxed little guy in the world. Mostly because he does not know about emails or the economy, but shoulder rubs help too. 13/10 (IG: tacofoxyhuahua)

can you just say there’s a rule?

Seems like a really bad time to cut funding for weather tracking.

fwiw, i don’t personally think that either doomerism OR toxic positivity is what this moment calls for; i think what we actually need to be collectively looking towards is a secret third thing (hopepunk)

it’s cool and important to give a shit, and to look for ways to help each other.

The Frodo and Sam meme, but in response to Frodo's "What are we holding on to, Sam?" Sam's response is "sheer f**king spite, Mr. Frodo"

Seen at @tamslick.bsky.social 's blog and frankly if I survive these deeply stupid times, this is gonna be how

An arch is stronger where the most pressure is. You are not an arch. Drink some water. Touch something soft.

They're bringing back dump shit from the y2k like war with Iran when we could bring back cool shit like Less than Jake

A graphic-style illustration of 3 sea slugs (known as nudibranchs). Dark blue bold rounded text below the slugs reads “Nudibranch Admirer”. The slugs are vibrantly colored with hues of blue, yellow, orange, and purple and are illustrated on a saturated light blue background.

I just think sea slugs are neat 💕

Aren't mobile homes also classified as vehicles, so if you dont pay it off, it gets repoed with all your worldly goods in it?

What's common knowledge in your field but shocks outsiders?

The global economy depends on an incalculable chum of obscure B2B SaaS applications with names like Pleep and RazorFire and if Pleep and RazorFire ever went down at the same time civilization as you know it would cease to exist

DONT ASK ME ABOUT SHAREPOINT I DONT KNOW ANYTHING NOW I HAVE TURNED MYSELF INTO A RAVEN AND I AM A RAVEN NOW

Post from Kevin Roose @kevinroose.com The NYT Magazine asked me and @caseynewton.bsky. social to open their Al issue by talking about how we use Al, why it's not going away, and how you can't bea serious critic if you're in denial about how useful it is. Bluesky's gonna love this one!

Everyone's dunking on this guy, as they should, but it's good to block "I'm just a bad wittle boy" clowns like this.
They want engagement, they want to make your life a little bit worse by pissing you off with their shitty yet absolutely unoriginal opinions so you read their stuff and share it.

You can return it right after tho, tear tracks and all. Costco is notorious for taking everything back. 😆

All weekend this has been in my head and if it wasn’t in yours before, I’m sorry that it is now.

time for my new favorite tumblr post

Holy shit Chuck Schumer just went OFF about Noem’s actions:

“Are the Democrats weak & behind the times? Does Macy’s tell from Gimbels? I’ve written a terse letter and as soon as we mimeograph a million copies everyone’s gonna wake up tomorrow and find one rolled up in their milk delivery!”

I told you we’d be back
