I've seen more people being angry about people not knowing what "Choosin' Texas" is than I've ever seen anyone claiming to like the song "Choosin' Texas." So I listened to "Choosin' Texas." I admit I may have heard it before, but I also may not. I can't remember it at all. This was three hours ago.

A world where a twist ending is repurposed as a video title. where a thing's climax has been removed, leaving an advertisment for the gap where it used to be. such things are commonplace in. the twilight zone

It’s mind-blowing that we have literal white nationalists in the White House carrying out unfathomably cruel, abusive, white nationalist policies, and the punditariat has spent the last two weeks debating if some people were too intemperate after a Black man was murdered by cops six years ago.

Seriously, what even IS "New England?" At least Ukraine is a real place, and not just a colonial vibe.

A load bearing mythos of pop leftism is that the Dems used to be good and for the working man and then embraced neoliberalism so the working man got sold out, instead of "white America as a whole turned on the Dems after the Civil Rights Act and began tearing down their own commons and prosperity"

Chemist: we've created a new, incredibly powerful compound! Reporter: what does it do? C: Not quite sure R: well how did you make it C: unclear, just kinda tossed some stuff in and then got it real hot

Anna: Takes criticism not well, possibly violently, depending on who's offering it and how much she cares about The Thing. But she will internalize it, both as self-flagellation and to learn.

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters How well does your character handle criticism? Are they easily insulted? Does their confidence suffer from a critique? Do they ignore or shrug it off entirely? Do they learn from it? #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

In case it wasn’t clear, I think there are a lot of mistakes and beliefs that people can change and — with effort and good faith — try to make right. Rape is not one of those. You cannot rehabilitate a rapist. There is no room for rapists in our movement.

Rewatching Buffy and there are a couple signs Joss Whedon sucked: Guy (Xander): hey i'm entitled to your attention and emotional investment Woman: No Guy (Xander): how DARE you, feel bad Woman: *feels bad* wow i didn't do enough to control his emotions

it’s so funny to imagine a silicon valley striver getting invited to a top-secret “ideas conference” ready to learn the Secrets of the Elites only to get trapped on an understuffed hotel chair for eight hours while a very sweaty billionaire rants about how the Actual Devil lives inside chinese RAM

He also called slavery a "moral abomination," so Thomas Jefferson also thinks Thomas Jefferson is evil.

You’re right! Thomas Jefferson trapped and raped human beings because he saw Black people as less than him and then sold his children. I’ve never done that!

Christopher Nolan, an important film director. "I, Christopher Nolan, will take Greek myths and make them serious and important." Me, a nobody. "Will you do that by turning the brightness right down, Chris, is that how?" Nolan *on the verge of panic* "No more questions. Important films to make."

JOKER: Not so fast, Bat-JERK! My LAUGHBangs will leave you BLIND as a BAT! BLUESKY BATMAN: Oof. Many people suffer from reduced vision. Not funny. JOKER: It's like, it's a pun. It's just wordplay. BLUESKY BATMAN: Sorry if I'm not in the mood for "jokes" while SCOTUS shreds our constitutional rights

"I wonder if the press will reflect—" No. Already no. Not on this, not on anything. We've cultivated a sycophantic, cowardly media run on click-based incentives. They're all terrified of losing whatever little relevance they still have with their access. They will not reflect. They will not change.

Andrew Lawrence@ndrew.bsky.social

i wonder if the press will reflect on how they have spent the last 3 weeks being led around by the nose, breathlessly reporting a worthless MOU as an inevitable end to all hostilities
