I absolutely loathe how I no longer know if something is an actual story or if it's just chum from the Outrage Slop Bucket. Like, was the Converse ad thing a real story, or did the Meta algorithm feed me a million posts because I clicked on one post? A week ago I couldn't escape it. Now? Crickets.

There is no bottom for these losers.

So much care has been put into ensuring the people you’re “arresting” are not just nonwhite, but are various shades of brown. They don’t even have real faces but the White House was sure to get ten different skin tones, so every nonwhite group is well-represented www.whitehouse.gov/arcade/rio-r...

These articles are really tiresome. The truth of the matter is that Paw Patrol is basically fine. Marshall is clumsy, Rocky hates water, yadda yadda. Also, your kid will grow out of it really quickly, so worry about something more important, like the "goodnight nobody" page in Goodnight Moon

About thirty-five cents worth of Canadian Tire money. 😎

For a junk drawer to legally qualify as a real junk drawer, what is the ONE absolute mandatory item it must include? Old keys -- no one in the house knows what they're for but no one will throw them away . . . just in case

I know I'm missing some, but so far in 2026 conservative media has decided to freak out over: • the Super Bowl halftime show • a figure skater's hair dye • a film's casting choices You know, the *really* important stuff.

For a second I thought this was one of those street performers who dress in silver and just stand there...

Hoodlum 🇺🇸@nothoodlum.bsky.social

This monstrosity, the Charlie Kirk Monument, is set to be unveiled in New York’s Times Square on September 10. It was handcrafted by Italian sculptor Sergio Furnari. I give it 20 minutes.

Jfc, I hate this future.

Marie Claire actually left a prompt from an AI in one of their recent articles. While there’s still some great journalists and publications left, this is utterly shocking. No wonder I’m trying to pivot.

MLB has gotta nip this in the bud - any alterations to that game's approved uniform will result in an automatic ejection and possible suspension. This cowardly hiding behind scripture shit is embarrassing. At least Yunel Escobar didn't pretend his bigotry was principled.

McCovey Chronicles@mccoveychronicles.bsky.social

these assholes didn't deserve this many words written about them

The thing no one warns you about before becoming a dad is all the weeping you'll do once they're born. Try getting through a recital performance without tearing up...it's impossible.

I’m so sick of former bird app takes, I want to hear everyone’s parenting hot takes

Not a book, but I really hated The Waste Land.

allison@jurymgmt.bsky.social

wait great idea. real haters only: what was everyone’s LEAST favorite book you read for school. mine was fuck ass great expectations. F YOU PIP I HATE YOU

So, what are the odds he had no idea what "no quarter" means? Guaranteed this dummy just thought it was something that sounds badass.

Matt Novak@paleofuture.bsky.social

Hegseth: "We will keep pushing, keep advancing. No quarter, no mercy for our enemies." No quarter is the refusal to take prisoners and instead just execute everyone. It's been considered a war crime for over a century.

This is maybe the best prompt thread ever. I want to rewatch all of these now 😎 (The correct answer is "Ronin")

Mad Scholar Frights@mattzollerseitz.bsky.social

What's the single overall best car chase in cinema history? One that almost has everything you would want from a car chase? It's not a bold or original answer, but I think I have to go with the French Connection

He'll die, but we won't forget.

Trump: "Canada gets a lot of freebies from us. They should be grateful but they're not. He watched your prime minister yesterday. He wasn't so grateful. But they should be grateful to us. Canada. Canada lives because of the United States. Remember that, Mark, next time you make your statements"

This privilege really became clear when Trump was openly musing about annexing Canada. It threw my equilibrium completely off and I really had trouble going about my daily life. It made me see my students, many from places like Iraq, Syria, Palestine & Egypt, in a new light.

Schnorkles O'Bork@schnorkles.bsky.social

I have decided that the greatest mark of American privilege in comparison to the rest of the world (and a privilege that I find myself thinking more often then not) is the desire for politics to be boring and not a life or death struggle ~all the time.~

interesting! here's a video i took yesterday of federal agents ramming community members with their car

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

JD Vance: "Ramming an ICE officer with your car -- that's what justifies being shot ... the reason this woman is dead is because she tried to ram somebody with her car and that guy acted in self defense"

Such a small, pathetic man.

Trump: "Ilhan Omar, whatever the hell her name is. With her little turban. I love her. She comes in, does nothing but bitch ... we ought to get her the hell out ... she's here illegally." The crowd in Pennsylvania then starts chanting "send her back!"

With relatively little time spent thinking about it: -Debaser - Doolittle -I Wanna Be Adored - Stone Roses -Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana -Rock and Roll Star - Definitely Maybe -Bring the Noise - It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back
