Anyway, they should really add an automated β€œwhen any post gets more than X number of RTs, automatically activate reply and quote-tweet controls” setting

I would say β€œpeople do not know how to act on this website” but the sad and honest truth is that no one, anywhere, is being taught how to act period, and it is not a pathology unique to this dumb app

Really doesn’t take long for any post that breaks containment on this website to get completely unhinged replies that are totally inappropriate in any social context at all

A Texas Judge Is Suing For the Right to Ignore the Supreme Court’s Same-Sex Marriage Ruling The Court ruled in Obergefell v. Hodges that marriage is a fundamental right. Only Brian Umphress dares to ask the question: What if that doesn’t apply in Texas?

No really, Republicans are serious about undoing marriage equality:

A Texas judge is currently suing for a legal right to only officiate weddings for different-sex couples

This would empower state actors to selectively withdraw LGBTQ people's fundamental rights

I got to read an early copy of SUPERMAN: THE KRYPTONITE SPECTRUM by W. Maxwell Prince, MartΓ­n Morazzo and Chris O’Halloran - the same team behind ICE CREAM MAN - and it doesn't disappoint AT ALL. A great melding of creators, character, and story. It's out ten days from now, August 13th!

Extremely important.

And I just got a Mothership terrible scam text today, from a scammy PAC. So this is right on. Shut down the scam PACs.

I recently had a dream where I was cast in an audio drama that was being directed by Mike Nichols, but at the first rehearsal I did not have the script memorized and was screwing up all the line readings and embarrassing myself in front of the father of the modern American theatre

Did this today, because why NOT have access to a bunch of Nova and America’s Test Kitchen? And almost immediately, I found a multi-season show about Los Angeles history. If you can spare $60, it’s worth it.

I am not sure I will ever forgive Beck (or perhaps DGC Records) for allowing the 25th anniversary of MIDNITE VULTURES to pass last November without a vinyl reissue

The replies to this post, even on here, even moreso on X, are so depressing to me. We live in a world where cities have never been safer and a minority of people are denying themselves a lot of delightful experiences because they’ve gone mad online.

The unfortunate outcome of this journey is that I am the precise level of β€œreally good at MARIO KART” where in any casual gathering of friends, I’ll destroy everyone and likely cause hurt feelings, but if I try to play online, I will be utterly obliterated by Japanese 10-year-olds

I have now completed every three-star score, every P switch, every medallion, every question-mark panel, and every sticker (!) in MARIO KART WORLD. I… went a little overboard, maybe

An absolutely essential exhibit if you live in Southern California, and tbh it’s kinda worth the trip even if you don’t (plus, y’know, a trip to LA is a nice thing)
