I think people intuitively understand that democratic candidates tossing trans kids to the wolves is not only morally repugnant but also politically ineffective, otherwise they wouldn't freak out every time someone said they weren't voting for a democrat who did this

Having some friends over for my annual #OTGW rewatch so had to get crafty

Always ask this question.

People talk about "twiddling your thumbs" as if it were some idle time waste but idk if you ever actually twiddled yours but that shit legit slaps actually?

And ABSOLUTELY look askance at just about any scary-sounding claims involving voting machines. We’ve been using electronic voting machines for decades now and there’s no evidence anyone’s successfully used them to cheat. (That I know of.)

'Hell Chicken' is actually an elegant, dignified little creature, if you please. 🤓☺️ The recently described oviraptorosaur, Infernogallus. Qualifying as an honorary #Boktober. Ink and gouache on Fabriano Medioevalis, approximately 132 × 85 mm.

they are lightweights. everybody online has been yelled at by a teenager. didn't turn the rest of us into nazis

The idea that we’re supposed to pretend like this line of questioning isn’t utterly insane... I hope we end up looking back on this kind of thing with ridicule. To get it from a Young Republican plant in an audience is one thing, but to see it coming from legacy media as well is just revolting.

The only way you could have watched that video without being absolutely impressed with the matter-of-fact way AES dismantled and exposed that pitiful gotcha is for bad reasons

Best Paul Simon greatest hits, bar none

So much pearl clutching about "omg cannot believe /the Navy/ would do something like this," only headline I see is "man joins the military of a nation sliding in to fascism to fight the chief fascist's active wars of aggression abroad shocked when they do fascism to his family right here at home"

adult friend finder could have been such a great website but they wasted the name on the same shit a million other sites had. "dads in your area want to drill a few holes in scrap wood and drink three beers" imagine getting that popup

operator: 911, please state the nature of your emergency me: hey. why was liberty biberty beheaded operator: he constructed the forbidden fractal me: i don't know what that means operator: some 300 light-years from earth, there exists what you might describe as a "palace of time." the me: nevermind

It's funny how much the classic "roast a pepper directly on the burner of a gas stove" thing would sound like one of those fake viral food hacks that are all video editing and don't actually work if you had never seen/done it before...

“how do we win back trump voters in 2026” we don’t. we create an environment where admitting to voting for trump is so socially embarrassing as to render them completely inert. you don’t “win back” trump voters. you demoralize them into staying home. you make it a dunce cap

A monkey has a tail, but an ape has a story.

Supporting your vulnerable constituents is a demonstration of strength and principle. In 2026, that’s what ppl want

If you are a person who works in social media, and your job requires you to manage an account on Twitter/X, please ask your boss, in writing, to verify that you are required as a responsibility of your position to be on a platform that knowingly creates and monetizes child sexual abuse material …

“When a stranger sojourns with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong. You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God." Leviticus 19:33-34 (ESV)

Hot tip if you want to be a VIP to a late baby/early toddler acquaintance who you see often but not often enough to be one of their main people: Make yourself the person in their life who makes the best silly faces. Once you establish that niche they'll always be excited to see you.

I didn't know of him before my dad (who's spent a lot of time in the Eastern Carribean) mentioned his passing yesterday but been listening to legendary calypsonian Mighty Sparrow this morning and wow what an artist

Hang on gang, think I've made a breakthrough in why they call it "home plate" #baseball

"Transphobic publication posts bad list of TV shows." Sure

TFW you see a thirty minute "full live radio performance" upload for an artist you like and put that on to excited for half an hour of music and then it's a 13 minutes of music plus 17 minutes of the artist mumbling answers to the emptiest questions from a DJ with zero interviewing chops

Ahh yes, what a unique differentiating feature in the casual trousers marketplace

Man I love the Bay area
