😌 Should this be my new profile pic

Toledo 💔

I am frothing at the mouth

what gets me is the fixation on the cheesecake part of the joke and not obama comparing trump to saddam hussein

before the election, doing dogpile coverage on Trump's heavily documented and extremely plausible rape allegations would be Political and therefore improper. after the election it's time to turn the page, let bygones be bygones, look forward not backward, bsky.app/profile/hoff...

:(

Yes.

Will anyone—anyone at all—ask Trump about the rape allegations published in an official report by the House Judiciary Democrats? Or will he continue to escape accountability for his violence?

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

I sold $16K in Pokémon cards and it fucking sucked aftermath.site/pokemon-card-s...

As appalling as it is to ask an AI assistant for anything, I don't want the fact that Dazzle is an embarrassing nickname for a computer to get lost in the shuffle. We should be mocking her relentlessly for that too.

I think we should get to put him in a pit, and then a decent person should be awarded his academic position.

The wizard ponders his orb.

🫠🫠 YEAH

🫠 yeah

For the first time I listened to an audiobook all the way through! Please send me prizes and trophies and little treats, thank you.

Have we considered seizing the assets of anyone caught actually sending money to these miserable little dweebs

Honestly I could really go for one of these right now.

"You won't debate me because you can't beat my IDEAS"—no, loser, I won't debate you because your ideas have been considered and rejected and no longer warrant debate, and the very act of engaging in debate frames you as better than you are and your failed ideas as worthy of anything but contempt.

A lot of us GenXers and early Millennials got irony poisoning in the 90s & learnt a brand of "Doing The Thing But Ironically," and had to unlearn that behaviour. And some folks never seemed to get the memo.

As we approach the midterms, remember that the Alt National Park Service is a merch sales operation claiming without evidence to be a group of federal employees, and is not a genuine source of news about elections of any kind. Please get your election info from a local, reputable source.

Consider taking that energy you're tempted to spend castigating trans people for venting and using it to yell at the campaigns instead, maybe

If anyone's conscience needs salving after a round of grudging utilitarian voting, may I highlight: tractionpnw.org/give/

"it's more the replacement of morality with disgust that bothers me." ❗

I am once again begging Americans to understand that speeding/red light cameras which only do anything if someone is speeding/goes through a red light, *are not the same thing* as Flock-style ALPR cameras.

“Waaaaaah, the government wants to surveil me while I’m driving a 4000 pound death machine”. YES! And that’s GOOD!

They should make a database of everyone who gets mad at a post like this and permanently strip them of their driver’s license

Ultimately, it feels like the entire modern conservative movement is driven by "I got everything I said I wanted, and now I'm angrier than ever."

White Christianity has nothing to do with the teachings (good or otherwise) of Jesus; it’s about exclusivity, predestined supremacy, goodness achieved without having to pay, forgiveness by proxy, and the eternal punishment of everyone else for the crime of noncompliance. It’s a spiritual gated HOA.

I did like that

I simply will never understand why people want to deprive people of access to things that make rehabilitation possible, such as housing, then act outraged when they do things like working in the illegal economy to survive after they've been pushed out of conventional society.

I treasure the memory of watching Cats with my family, my sainted mother, @rainierrambler.bsky.social, growing very grave during the Gus the Theater Cat scenes and then turning to me and saying solemnly "this movie might be any of these actor's last movie." 😔

The first time I try will be half-ass I promise

Okay I finally did it 🦅

Parallels abound!!

And how!

to put sugar on my tongue

I was so moved by this Christian dad’s response to a despondent trans kid whose father wouldn’t support their care on “Christian” grounds. It’s never OK to use Christ as a weapon of hate. God is love. 💗 www.reddit.com/r/cisparentt...

If this were really an issue on any scale then Meta would be selling a product where these parents could get Whatsapp messages from an AI version of their estranged kids.

Crying, screaming, throwing up, etc.

This is such a good point.
