I wonder if @robertjsawyer.com and @georgerrmartin.bsky.social argue over which version of Wordstar is better.

Honestly I'm all for normalizing people taking hormones for non trans reasons if it improves access for trans people

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

The CSA the world capital of CSA

@barbaratruelove.bsky.social #OfMonstersAndMainframes is incredibly cruel to audiobook listeners. We got a literal 5 minutes of someone reading 1s and 0s to us!

So it's officially sci fi because Karl Urban has short hair?

If you knit something like this you are obligated to make dot matrix printer noises to annoy people around you

Yknow what? I’ve been sitting on this for a decade because I’m not into punching laterally but I AM FINE with punching far right lunatics. Just a handful of short weeks before GamerGate started, Briana Wu, who I spoke to 0 times before this, sends me this *wild* ass email. 🧵

Someone on Twitter posted that they had run into Philip Glass at their lower Manhattan polling place, saying nice things about Mamdani. The campaign put this up as a quote-tweet within the hour.

Not just a White Sox fan but a Dune fan.

@marlo.ooo omg is this real and do you have it

This is why I am so happy teaching spec ed kids who mostly can't read.

I hate crypto, I hate online gambling, I hate AI, I hate pay-later, I hate subscription models, I hate the gig economy, I hate ring cameras, I hate drones, I hate self checkout. I don't want to come off as a luddite but capitalism's hold on tech sucks.

This is my cat and me

I feel like the real long term consequence of the new Pope is we are going to have to explain to our grandkids why people dress as the Pope at White Sox games

If only trans people were rich enough to bribe the US govt to leave them alone like Medieval Jews or Armenians

Guys maybe the people should crowdfund a plane for Trump in exchange for health care.

It’s notable that, in its completely amoral transactional way, the Trump admin is able to be more honest in some ways about the Israeli government than the Biden admin was.

"Masked security forces captured an opposition leader in the coastal province of New Jersey as regime officials continue their months-long crack-down against pro-democracy elements in the embattled United States. The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."

The funniest outcome of the new Pope would be popularizing Chicago Deep Dish in Italy

I also hope the new pope hates Illinois Nazis

Praying to God for the all-Canadian Stanley Cup final to mark the Great Satan's loss of prestige and decline.

Libs here are like China and the US are the same but then

An adaptation based on the boardgame Fury of Dracula rather than the book or a previous film

Me today: let's play The Internationale for the kids

Bro they lobotomized your aunt

Makes sense.

I need people to understand that Barthes meant "Death Of The Author" to mean that authorial intent should not be the primary lens by which to criticize and understand a text; it has nothing to do with "is buying a book by a bigot acceptable" it is about LITERARY CRITICISM

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

"Colton spent 18 days in the hospital, with 14 of them on dialysis. He also received five blood transfusions. "We know (the source) was romaine lettuce, but they won't say who supplied the romaine lettuce," Chris said." www.wthr.com/article/mone...

Good.

Kind of want a Jets-Leafs Stanley Cup as another sign of the beginning of the American Century of Humiliation

Guys, I love all of you, but the answer to RFK, Jr. is not that autistic adults hold jobs, pay taxes, and get laid, it's that everyone deserves to live even if they can't work, pay taxes, or get laid.

Someone just didn't pay attention to the entire history of Israel and the Likud movement

Reading @nathantankus.bsky.social articles and I can only fall back to RPG analogies to help comprehend the global financial system. I feel like in order for it to really make sense I need to be initiated into the right cult.

I just want to tip my hat to the crack team of White House economists who were able to discover--in just a few short days--that the U.S. is dependent on China for smartphones, computers and semiconductors.

I feel like all the crashing planes and helicopters is just a sign that the US has lost the Mandate of Heaven.

In The Lost Lands is one of the dumbest movies I've ever seen. It's a terrible pastiche of 2000 AD and Euro comics in Heavy Metal. Dave Bautista uses a two headed snake as a weapon. Its amazing.

@mark-carney.bsky.social let's talk about something important. Will you direct Health Canada to harmonize our regulations around spreads with other Commonwealth countries so that we are legally allowed British market Marmite and Australian market Vegemite?

I've been getting social media ads from Palm Springs trying to convince Canadians to come visit. I'm like abolish ICE and I'll visit.

the shift from “I never thought leopards would eat MY face” to “eat my face harder leopard daddy” must be studied

Hot tip: Shatta is going to be the next culinary trend because it comes from Egypt and Turkey where there's only a 10% tariff

It's gonna be an interesting next few years as Americans discover all kinds of new products from the countries with 10% tariffs

Hmmm but there's a ton of legal precedent in the US that says it is okay as long as they aren't white

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.
