Yes every conservative social media site becomes a tropical rainforest of school shooters and Ponzi schemes but did you know that there is a left-wing social media site where people are rude to the nation’s center-right political pundits

Challengers, but with pickleball.

Yes, you could buy it direct from the source *brand new* and *whenever you want*, but have you considered spending an extra $2 to have the frustrating bonus experience of coordinating a meetup with a stranger???

you just know this shit ruined the scribe’s day

Not no.

All because a memory resurfaced from 4th grade when a kid in my class was selling the coolest, most beautiful pens I’d ever seen that he got from his mom who I think took business trips to China for some reason.

My teacher had a cream colored one with Egyptian hieroglyphic motifs on it.

Today’s hyperfixation: googling pictures of fancy pens from Asian brands that were popular in the mid 90s.

Just waiting for the day that @michaelhobbes.bsky.social and @notalawyer.bsky.social do a bonus deep dive podcast episode about the Rationalist community.

what’s- what’s the good way

UPDATE: killed his wife with a bat, loaded her body into his car and sloppily staged a car accident. He was found guilty, but only sentenced to 8 YEARS, and was out in FIVE. I googled him and he’s now in prison for selling fraudulent canine cancer drugs.

A real Cinderella story.

Another choice quote: “A beautiful mail-order bride, her millionaire husband, and the gardener… As unusual a love triangle as you’ll ever find.”

Just stay out of Gilead, June. Jesus.

There are three key facts in the Holocaust Encyclopedia produced by the US Holocaust Memorial Museum. This is the second key fact: What distinguishes a concentration camp from a prison (in the modern sense) is that it functions outside of a judicial system. The prisoners are not indicted or convicted of any crime by judicial process.

This, from the Holocaust Memorial Museum.

The people who whine about ‘cancel culture’ being threat to free speech have been extremely quiet about the illegal detainment and deportation of people who protested on behalf of Palestine. 👀👀👀

New seasons of Severance, White Lotus, Hacks, AND The Last Of Us all airing within 3 months of each other does feel almost too good to be true considering the state of the world.

“Great size”

The devil went down to WeHo

If AI art were arguing on its own behalf, it would just gesture at this.

When Nick Cage gives up eternity to be with you and you go die in a bike accident it’s called an Iris goodbye.

For the first time in the history of soft pretzels, I just received enough cheese sauce to fully satisfy every bite. Nature is healing 🥰

I invited friends over to play Mario Kart 64 today. We ate cake and battled and for a brief moment we were twelve again. 🥹

Like a prize fish!

Yessssss! Just made my Caprani dreams come true. Negotiated the price down a bit, and am picking up this 70s Danish beauty this afternoon.

“Do you have anything in a Frazier?”

Why the FUCK isn’t this real.

Been watching Seinfeld while on the treadmill at the gym and I want Kramer’s coffee table book of celebrity coffee tables (that turns into a coffee table!) SO FUCKING BAD.

for a week or so during the election Vance was reminded by interviewers that he had once compared his running mate Donald Trump to Hitler. Vance assured us that he had changed his mind - but really seems like he changed his mind about Hitler, not Trump
