Syl Says Spooky Stuff

TN07 is a story about gerrymandering: the GOP cracked Nashville into 3 districts when it redrew the 2022 map, destroying the Dem seat there.

Fast-forward: a section of Nashville, which just 5 years ago had a Dem representative, is now voting Dem by huge margins but it's been designed to not matter.

Mark Kelly: "For most of Donald Trump's career, bullying people has worked out for him, but not now, because I won't let it happen. President Trump is trying to silence me, threatening to kill me for saying this true, & he sent his secretary after me, & it's not going to work."

Come on, Middle Tennessee. Let's do this thing.

when Michael Phelps was dominating US swimming there was endless coverage of all his genetic advantages. His wingspan, the way his body processed lactic acid, on and on and on. Nobody, not one person, floated the idea of kicking him out of the sport for genetic advantages

Chiitan Knight will continue to spread his message until there are no more transgender people who are subjected to unjustified criticism and slander♡

Okay bear with me. My amazing friend Robyn (@haykebyr.bsky.social) did this amazing image based on my stupid ass joke. It's Miss Piggy photoshopped into some Sister of Battle armour, with the white bob haircut and a fleur de lys tattoo on her cheek and everything. Except she's got pink satin gloves on. The caption is "In the Grim Darkness of the Far Future there is Only Moi" because that's the whole joke. Thank you.

What they do to Black people they do to everyone

And yes this too was part of Black Lives Matter

It’s why they were terrified

And now …

I forgot to take a picture of the Edward but you can pretty much imagine it. 3.5/5 for synergy reasons, even though each bagel is 3/5 alone they contrast nicely.

Yelling in the public forum

homojave wasteland & @taliasturm Willow said something about Lee Harvey Oswald's 'little cowboy hat's and I had no idea what she was talking about and it turns out she'd seen this picture and thought he was wearing a ridiculous little hat when he got shot (Photo where guy behind LHO is wearing a normal sized cowboy hat but it looks like LHO is wearing it and it is tiny)

Are you someone who claims to be a “trans ally”?

Cool! Here’s your new test to see if you actually are a trans ally for real or just for “social media clout.”

Stop playing Fortnite.

This is your sign btw that you should call Mastercard

Categorically impossible because the minute I find that out, they're no longer my favorite celebrity

What the hell is happening in Pokemon these days (here for it tho)

1/5. Tastes like you told an alien about the concept of breakfast and it tried to assemble it from first principles.

The Andy as described

Part 2: the Andy. Egg and cheese on cinnamon raisin

3.5/5. The sandwich proper is 4.5/5 but you need all the pieces.

The Joe with tomatoes and capers (plain bagel salmon cream cheese red onion)

#BrueggersOdyssey day 17 double feature. First up is the Joe: smoked salmon bagel with no tomato or capers. Except they forgot to do that. But I disagree with Joe so I'm going to eat it and judge how it would taste without those.

loooove her

And folks, there's a lot of hate for this game, lotta, lot a hate. Because it uses its mechanics to, get this, subvert your expectations. It's a real fish outta water story, and they tell me, the player, the player is the fish! They're calling it "lewd narrative dissonants" Unbelievable, folks.

DONALD TRUMP FOVE MINUTES AFTER MEETING ME: There's this character, they're called heroes in the game, can you believe that? Not characters but heroes. I like that. Anyways there's this hero, H-E-R-O, named Kiriko and they're saying she's unfair. She's got a cleanse, can you believe that? Unbelie...

My favorite part was when he said "It's time to fetter, man" and then he fettered all over them.
