I see people causally bring this up so I gotta say this then probably delete it in the morning: You don’t get to pretend you don’t support Elon musk while also continuing to be active on the Elon musk app. You support him and his beliefs and his causes. Even if you don’t like it, you do.

This, more than anything else, is policy that would make the biggest positive difference in every American’s day to day life. Every single person in every American city would be happier with this. But we don’t even sniff it because the auto lobby works day and night to make sure we don’t.

To carry 50,000 people per hour in each direction, a city needs a 175m wide road for cars. Even if those cars are electric. And then there’s all the parking. OR a city can move A LOT MORE people in a lot less space, with A LOT LESS public money, emissions, pollution, noise etc. Choices. Simple.

You’re crying because you’re sad. I’m crying because Florence & The Machine’s masterpiece Ceremonials didn’t get its due when it came out and honestly never did. We are not the same.

I hoped this went without saying but if you’re letting your kid watch ai slop you are permanently destroying their brain and should be charged with child abuse

And it lands on exactly this- If you ask “what do moderate Dems stand for?” The answer is: “Nothing Republicans don’t already stand for way more” Moderate Democrats are JV Republicans. Americans don’t want to stand for half of a philosophy. They want politicians who will fight for a better life.

Van Jones missing that people mobilize and vote for something positive. Doubling down on asking people to vote “not that!” against Democratic Socialism as well as MAGA Fascism doesn’t work. Give people something they are voting FOR. Inspired people. That’s the lesson lost from Obama.

You really expect people to “roll up their sleeves and start organizing on the ground” for the values of “we don’t hate rich people, cops, free enterprise, the west” etc? Nobody is passionate about this. People are passionate about opposing fascism and an affordable life. That’s why DSA is winning.

I’m crying

We’ve reached the 50% point on toilet lids being soft-falling, making every new toilet a wonderful guessing game, which is exactly what everyone always wanted

Hey I did the hot ones challenge (and I’m fairly good w spicy food) and lemme just say- all the celebs are underselling how intense da bomb is. They’re very prepared and practiced. But it ruins your day.

It’s the incinerator scene again but no one comes to save them

Longtime Woody actor Tom Hanks has said Toy Story 5 has "one of the most heartbreaking scenes" the Pixar movie franchise has seen in its 30-year history. https://bit.ly/4u0S4jb

There’s so much talk about gerrymandering and zero discussion about how the idea of representation based on arbitrary geographical lines probably isn’t the best foundation for democracy at this point. Let everyone run nationally and the top 535 get into office. Badda bing badda boom

🛑 WARNING 🛑 The 3 singles Broken Social Scene have released from their upcoming album suggest it’s going to- 1. Be their best album since s/t 2. Be a top-5 album of 2026 3. Include the Song of Summer I recommend getting into it now so when it becomes ubiquitous everyone knows it started with you

Not much to add just saying I’m loving the X-Files discourse around here recently

Novelty Cistern@noveltycistern.bsky.social

*extremely long sigh* so at one point skinner says that the only reason they keep the x-files around is their case closure rate is like 95%. but we see a ton of cases that don't get closure in any real way so there must be HUNDREDS of cases where they're slam dunking serial killers ten minutes in

We need to reframe “tax the rich” into “recirculating the 1%’s money back into the economy” People act like when money is taxed it disappears. No! It’s moving again instead of being parked with one person who could never spend it.

This is a great video to explain why it’s good to specifically increase taxes on the rich. But the way you know it’s effective is from seeing how angry it is making awful rich people on social media. More of this, please, Democrats

I actually enjoy the sometimes rickety behavior of bluesky. It’s not much but it’s ours. A mostly Nazi and bot free platform for the freaks and geeks

Our team received a report of intermittent app outages at about 11:40pm PDT on April 15, 2026. They worked through the night to mitigate a sophisticated Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack, which intensified throughout the day.

It’s important to remember among all of this that Iran wasn’t doing anything. They were arbitrarily attacked because the president was desperate to distract the public from the growing realization that he is a pedophile.

I think Ryan Gosling is an excellent actor. He was excellent in Project Hail Mary and he’s excellent in everything I’ve seen him in. I’m glad to be alive to enjoy his performances. This reads like he’s holding me at gunpoint but that’s not the case, I really just love his work.
