+1. Y'all, I am wiped.

The emudhra vulnerability is just so.... dumb. I can't get over it being just 3 to 8 bits for SEVENTEEN MONTHS.

A good ol' fashioned framing change.... 😬

On the next season of Widow's Bay...

@jtkantor.bsky.social I'm so excited to see my two favorite teams play tonight on my birthday! It would make it even more magical if you played CCR's "Have You Ever Seen the Rain" (for the bit). 🌀⚾️

These types of parents don't seek to love, guide, and teach their children. They seek to control them.

This is just a reminder that Wu-tang is for the children

Yes, America is hotter than ever. That's called climate change and it's a bad thing.

BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS SAYS TRANS RIGHTS, MOTHERFUCKERS

If you needed a sign to vote for Senator Markey today, let this be it. Right now, we must stand with our trans friends in the fight. We must vote for candidates who support them with their full chest... And that is Senator Markey. www.lgbtqnation.com/2026/08/dona...

As a millennial the Iraq war was when I learned America felt no responsibility for human life abroad and hurricane Katrina was when I learned it felt no responsibility for American lives either

One thing that's been bugging me today: people who claim Dolly Parton wasn't political. False. She was very political. Her art and life's work were about interrogating power + amplifying the powerless. You only think she wasn't political because she did this by example, not bullshit slogans.

Has anyone tried turning the earth off and then on again to see if we can reboot? There's obviously a bug in the system right now. 😭

Hey friends, I worked hard on this pledge intake program, so please use it!

It’s worse than this. Having been in the room with many of them (long ago, before I knew they were psychopaths), the tycoons who are left running the industry have an active contempt for ordinary people, including their own workers. They actively want to oppress, control and punish them.

Democratic Socialism: Myth Vs. Fact https://theonion.com/democratic-socialism-myth-vs-fact/

I agree that the tech backlash has a lot to do with the fact that Silicon Valley has pretty much given up on giving us cool things - and has trained us to assume that tech products that *seem* cool are probably secretly evil. I wrote about this last year:

Everyone should have a bestie who pulls up to the airport at midnight after your West > East Coast flight with a bag of rye chips, a small charcuterie platter, and some sparkling water. @muppetcryptid.bsky.social takes care of me. ❤️

Ah yes Palantir, the company making dossiers about everyone with known government contracts. That's exactly who I want tracking what news articles I read.

This game is Sox on Sox violence. #redsox

Come on Hunters! I believe in you. #wpbl

I think I'm a Meidlinger fan. #wpbl

What a game! #wpbl

I keep saying "gaaaaaaay" happily whenever anything good happens. I can't wait to watch the Hunters tomorrow!!! 🥰 I'm so happy to have a home team.

I might be crying right now... Maybelle Blair and Ayami Sato hugging warmed my frozen heart. #wpbl

The rural Indiana *county* I grew up in only had 19% of the population of the MA *town* I live in now. Louis Campagna of the Chicago Outfit had a farm there as late as the 50s, and there is still plenty of family there from my understanding

I'm hooked up to a VPN server located in Romania just so I can access Bluesky without doing the whole "age verification" rigmarole while visiting my partner in Texas. You can practically taste the freedom. And so on.

Ranch is basically just American raita.

Look I know we say this a lot, big joke, haha. But. Recession indicator

MASSACHUSETTS FOLKS! The MA House is expected to vote soon on H. 4746 the Massachusetts Consumer Data Privacy Act. This is a really good bill! Call your house reps and tell them to advance it WITH a private right of action so you can sue Big Tech for data abuse fftf.link/madataprivacy

Oh hey. It's Pride and I'm still here unexpectedly 41 years later. What a cool thing to be able to say

The House just deadlocked 212-212 on a vote to end the Iran War. Three Republicans voted for it. One Democrat, Jared Golden, voted against it. I have no idea what Jared Golden is smoking, but it must be some powerful shit.

the universal facial expression of people that work in tech 🫩

with zero sarcasm this is good government and we should do this immediately

Zhang Shan won the gold medal for the mixed skeet shooting event in the 1992 Olympics. The International Shooting Union *immediately* banned women from competing against men.
