Nigel Farage has already won.

Octopus is the easiest thing to cut out of your diet on moral grounds because it’s basically never around, probably has dreams and emotions and tastes like a tire.

@dimension20.dropout.tv The minis for Toylight look so, so good! It's unnerving how they can look adorable and funny and lethal all at the same time. Amazing work!

@rincewind.run, sorry for talking like I know you, but I caught your post the other day about desert island bands and thought to ask: How are you celebrating New Chvrches Day? www.youtube.com/watch?v=3x2B...

Me choosing mango tangerine juice for daughter's kindergarten picnic: We're vitamin Cmaxxing. Gonna breathemog those phlegmcuck families.

I love @themountaingoats.bsky.social counterprogramming the Sunday shitshow by giving himself Posting Madness. Can't wait for @jcsalterego.bsky.social to sidle up and Virgil his Dante.

An idea for you, @democrats.org: Cut an ad that mashes up a couple times he's said he "hasn't heard about" something of grave national importance with this clip of him knowing more about Tiger Woods's condition than a Swiftie knows about Taytay's wedding.

Welcome to Bluesky, range of opinions, etc. and the image is the Sanjūsangendō.

Have been enjoying Bluesky until today. Can't we all agree that both Hasan Piker AND Hakeem Jeffries are dickheads who should be unemployed? What kind of Astroturfed infighting are we engaging in here??

A great thread on how simulacrum and hauntology work together to produce harmful imaginaries for bad political actors (and a conquered press) to exploit.

You got peanut butter in my chocolate, @realinfowars.bsky.social @marthakelly.bsky.social. I nearly wet my jeans laughing, which I understand I can sell for a tidy profit on your fine network.

Elon posted his slop video at 3:44am Texas time today, meaning it was long enough after Colin Hanks introduced a more charismatic version of him on Silo for him to have seen it. So either the show got too much right and he needs a distraction, or he thought this would make him the cool one.

I want to try (for the few who might see this) to capture the eyeroll we're all doing about "Woke 1." The false construct consisted of the social theory studied by the most educated generations, getting diluted when it reached a populace who hadn't read it, and then used by opportunists for support.

Know how UFC can make up that $30mil loss from the White House? Jonah vs. Zuck

Condolences to anyone with conservative relatives who will not listen to your explanations that Islam is not inherently communist, and that neither El-Sayed or Mamdani actually is communist either, but rather that individual people have unique views, and paths to them.

1. This could be us but you plankton. 2. (Because this is Bluesky and we're supposed to be the smarties) They inverted the chapter of Moby Dick called The Cassock.

@adashtra.bsky.social is now my go-to for Dropout takes. This article rules from start to finish. kotaku.com/game-changer...

Katy's cover of Genie in a Bottle is gonna be deeply felt and nuanced.

WSJ saying "Nixonmaxxing" has the same energy as Nixon saying, "Sock it to me," and is thus, itself, Nixonmaxxing. Odysseus will return in Nixception.

Simu Liu faces off against Channing Tatum, and it's just regular fighting? They had the chance to found the Himblorbo School of Dance Battle and instead courted the r/PowerScaling dorks? Abject cowardice.

I know there are thousands of "The REAL rot at MAGA's root" posts, but just to put this out there, in light of ICE's atrocities this week: MAGA's driving impulse is, "Why only one child for Omelas? Why not many, many more?"

People are invoking the Rule of Threes as if Alex Jones didn't just pop like a balloon.

legit question for people who didn't see this coming: who ties your shoes

Daughter: [incessantly hums YouTube trash her school friend played her] Me: Did you know music can also be used to make people happy? Her: ...No? #HappyFathersDay

Can God write a run-on sentence so convoluted, even He cannot punctuate it? #PhD #dissertation

You couldn't make The Office today because the sets are all Backrooms now.

It’s a pretty weird week when a guy who wants to be a trillionaire is simultaneously getting headlines for the economy-shattering IPO expected Friday and the racist pogroms he is accused of stoking — but these stories are viewed as separate and in no way connected or prescient of the future.

Can someone explain to me why the fuck I just got a sweaty ad from Chrome through Windows goddamn messaging?! Are Microslop and Google hooking up?

Just put toothpaste back in the tube, in case anyone needs any minor miracles worked.

I feel like the 17th century English space program run by Oliver Cromwell's brother-in-law has the potential to become a history meme

I'm convinced enough by this to incorporate it into any future considerations. At the very least, it reflects my own anecdotal experience.

Today's small joy: ibices is an accepted plural of ibex.

Met three of my academic heroes in two days. Thanks, #SCMS26!

This thread gave me so much context about the barbarian trope in games. They're portrayed as dimwitted because of a simulacrum, partly formed by shitty comedy!

Djinn: That's it? Me: Yes, just a small typo in the American Correction Association signage.

imagine if america had a functional mainstream punditry interested in writing about how right wingers leveraged false claims of oppression and censorship to hijack academia, comedy, and media in order to pummel the electorate with the laziest antisocial agitprop imaginable at unprecedented scale

Daughter has friend over for playdate, she asks for help opening her chocolate milk. I open the chocolate milk. She thanks me. Daughter, with the flattest affect: "That's why my dad is here." How's THAT for purpose, Jordan Peterson???

Does anyone know proper APA citation for the conspiratorial whisperings of a well-connected bootblack?

The new @contrapoints.bsky.social video presents an interesting argument that I think could have been improved with a discussion of Sam Peckinpah's "Salad Days."

@samreich.bsky.social If you do another Rookie crossover, can I humbly suggest: Paul Robabanko?

I am not generally an anxious person. So tell me why I just became convinced I submitted an extended abstract to a conference and completely left off the works cited list, when I absolutely did include that list? Have I reached a new level of "Did I leave the oven on?"

@inwadiwe.bsky.social, @umactually.bsky.social Just a quick note of thanks for giving us a glimpse of the No-Fall Action at the end of the Tag Team Episode. It's brought me that much closer to enlightenment.

Treating this killer article as a companion piece to @eruditorumpress.com's Neoreaction A Basilisk.

pretty sure he meant the other thing, grok, but very cool that those are your two things
