Holy shit.

The Milo stuff is the perfect picture of fascism. You think you're protected because you go as big as you can on racism, you spend years harassing the movement's perceived enemies, you even disavow your own sexuality. They'll still throw you in a cage over the tiniest disagreement already forgotten.

Someone needs to lock Matt Damon in his fucking house. You know how much money we've spent bringing his ass back home???

Happy Bastille Day to everyone, especially all my fellow guillotine enthusiasts!

Bluesky! Listen, the world is terrible and everything is falling apart, but you can do one good right thing by adopting kitties from the awesome Crits For Cats cat rescue (Elkton, MD), like bonded kitten brothers Hans and Franz or silly, charming cuddlebug Elena! Or helping spread the word!

Has anyone else ever had the experience of listening to a song you've known and loved for years on a streaming service and it just sounds like a different mix or something? Am i losing my mind??

I do not like The Who. I have a Who song stuck in my head. Fuck.

Clair Obscur is a cool game and all, but Jesus fucking Christ, it's like 31% cut scenes.

You ever try to code switch at work and fail? 😂

Lot of people on the right crying about the Virginia redistricting vote. We told you this would happen while you were celebrating the illegal off-cycle seat grab in Texas. Stop playing stupid games if you don’t want to win stupid prizes.

oh no republicans not your petard, no dont hoist no stop not your own petard bros

I’m sorry WHAT

Oh my fucking god, i just heard an ad for a new podcast from WaPo, hosted by Megan fucking McArdle. I can't avoid listening to that fast enough.

@whysophiewhy.bsky.social just want you to know, I was listening to the end of the latest Bastards and could not stop myself from a "Jesus Christ, Robert..." out loud.

Happy Henry Rollins Day to all who celebrate!

Look at this sweet, sweet boy

ICE commercial? GTFO

If you support the message behind this Super Bowl ad BUT you would prefer to support an organization that assists victims of sex trafficking while defending the rights of consensual adult sex workers, check out the Cupcake Girls: www.thecupcakegirls.org

I think there was a period in 1983 or so when Robert Smith was working The Top (with the Cure), Hyaena with Siouxsie and the Banshees, AND he and steve severin were working on The Glove. Just... What the fuck, man?

18, but possibly 19, because i have a *vague* memory of riding on the back of a motorcycle as a kid.

10/10 ICE protest sign

Still can't believe they immediately put the officers who killed Pretti back in the field. Even if the shooting had been justified (it wasn't), it's just incredibly callous and reckless -- to the public, but also to the officers themselves. Just a sociopathic dearth of humanity.

The letter from Bill and Hillary Clinton to James Comer explaining their refusal to testify in his Epstein investigation is really remarkable, not like any letter of this genre I've seen. It's signed by them, not a lawyer, and the arguments are not legal ones. Reprinted from their X account:

They don't have capacity to terrorize more than 2-3 cities at a time. Which means they rotate teams to new cities without relief. Which means consistent resistance by fresh activists in each new city will break them over time. Which means if you're city's not occupied, rest up and get ready.

My cats are goddamn cute.

I passed Vince Neil on my way out of the men's room at a bar in Roppongi in late 1997.

If Vince Guaraldi had known the actual A Charlie Brown Christmas assignment: "Compose iconic score that people will love forever," he could have been intimidated. Instead, "Write music for weird show CBS might not even air" probably freed him up to do his best work.

Merry Christmas, bluesky

One of the greatest regrets of my life is the time in 2017 or 2018 when i passed Stephen Miller on the sidewalk and didn't realize who it had been until half a block away, thereby missing the chance to push him in front of a bus.

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing. All from his movies.

My wife loads the dishwasher like she's the fucking Joker.

Back in western MA for holiday stuff. Hanging out with one of my oldest friends, and hearing about other people's relationships makes me really, really fucking grateful for my wife.

Going to end on one of the most beautiful commercials ever made with the reminder and a call to remember the small things. They make a big difference to others. Love all, help all. Go Jackets.

Back to the office for the first time since Oct 1, and yep, there are still National Guard troops in the Metro station...

Opening Bluesky for the first time in a few hours, and I'm at the stage of trying to figure out wtf happened.

Predictable but still amazing to watch people who spent literally years accusing every librarian, teacher, and trans person they could find of sexually grooming children suddenly throw themselves in with "actually it's ephebophilia"

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far. So much work remains to be done.

Towards the end of season 7 of my Game of Thrones rewatch, yelling "hats, motherfuckers! HATS!" at the screen

I know Maine coons are supposed to be the most dog-like cats, but it still kinda delights me when she runs to the door when the mail comes.

Slurp shit, Andrew Cuomo!
