All the elected officials afraid to speak out should hire one of those mean girl middle schoolers to run their in social media accounts. Entertaining and effective

I think we need to stop and consider what we look like from the outside. It's not weird that everybody else takes this seriously, it's weird that we're trying to talk people down by saying dad's just like that and he doesn't really mean it.

It's a sign of the mass psychosis gripping the US that anyone considers this a lark. You can't laugh off an American president casually threatening to annex sovereign nations. Canada's treating this as seriously as they need to and we deserve whatever bad things come. Fuck us up, eh.

microsoft clippy, an anthropomorphic paperclip with eyes and eyebrows, with a speech bubble reading: "Mfer typed 'brocolli' [sic]"

Dear Media:

Halting all aid to Gaza is not "pressuring Hamas." Collective punishment is a war crime. Starvation as a weapon of war is a war crime. Withholding medical care is a war crime. None of this is remotely controversial actually. Israel is doing war crimes, not "pressuring Hamas."

Real bummer when your rabid dog bites you in the bum.

Exactly. MN media needs to ask Demuth, Johnson, and Plechash about this.

Chauvin being “innocent” is an article of faith for republicans in Minnesota. Be nice if MN media would ask Demuth et al about it.

Scene from Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country. We're on ship, it's dark, and we're in some kind of back section where you crawl to work on stuff. Bones is bent over working on said stuff, and Spock is leaning over him, also looking at the stuff Bones is working on. Closed caption reads, "I'd give real money if he'd shut up."

I keep having to tell people eugenics didn’t start with Trump.

It’s quite literally the foundation of America and needs to be discussed as such.

Bury Your Gays This program features multicast narration."André Santana brings a personable feel to this satirical sci-fi romp.... This audiobook is a fast-paced cocktail ...

"I don't respect the man but I respect the office" Nah, fuck the office of President, too. I don't salute Mayor McCheese when I enter a McDonalds, and I'm 75% sure he never committed a war crime

Birthday Presence It’s that time of year again! I made it all the way around the sun without getting killed by a faster or more efficient predator, which means I get cake. Birthdays are weird. Okay, joking aside, I’…

So. This is fifty. 💙📚🏳️‍🌈

As has become my tradition, I’m taking my birthday to ask you to gush about books you loved.

THE TROT CONTINUES thats right BURY YOUR GAYS is the WINNER of the LIBBY BOOK AWARDS best horror novel of the year. this is especially cool because it is voted on by librarian buckaroos. DANG WHAT A TREAT people.com/see-the-winn...

So help me christ I will hurl my flaming body at anyone who tries to raid a school, Jfc how is this someone’s idea of “making America great”?

If I have one regret about the last ten years of politics, it's that the stars didn't align for Hillary to say "walk tuah the polls", and if I have two regrets the second one would be that the current regime is indistinguishable in belief and goals from the nazi party

Dearest new Bluesky users, read Bree's thread. A new world of joy awaits you! Curate your joy by curating your TL.

Markwayne Mullin rips the white sheet off the truth as he argues that Hegseth’s lack of qualifications don’t matter because he will be surrounded by capable people. When the nominee is Black or a woman, no amount of education or personnel support is sufficient to prevent the right’s “DEI hire” slur.

Tales of the Shire just might be the thing that convinces me to try video games.

Who else is really looking forward to not watching the Inauguration?

Telling your employer to give you paid leave because they call you mentally ill is such baller shit lmao

Word of the Day is ‘uhtcearu’ [ucht-kay-aru, with the 'ch' as in the Scottish ‘loch']:

Old English for ‘the sorrow before dawn', when you lie awake in the darkness and worries crowd your mind.

After applying bird-safe film to the building, the 18 bird deaths at Chicago's Lakeside Center during migration season this past fall compared with 1,280 deaths in fall 2023 and 771 in fall 2022.

US Bank Stadium will need $280M in maintenance and upgrades in coming decade. The film costs ~$2M.

Gonna plug Chuck Tingle’s book “Bury Your Gays” here. It illustrates pretty clearly why corporations are not our allies (spoiler alert: it’s always about the money) and how rainbow capitalism is just another side of the exploitation coin
