The Roughin’ Man!

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

All cis people on this site should be nicer to trans people facing existential threats I think. Just imo

what does it say about the national party that there are candidates running on the dem ticket buying ads saying that some people are technically subhuman without reprimand or even comment. would you abide that for any other group or is this one special

steam: this game you've had installed for two years but never played has an update. we'll download it next week me: no you'll download it right now motherfucker. and i will sit here and watch it download. steam: so you're gonna play it? me: fuck you

Never dim your light just to make others comfortable. Being trans and unapologetically you is powerful🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 Shine as brightly as you were meant to 🌈

Happy Spooky Lake Month Eve for all who observe.

LGBT souls exist🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 No special permission is needed. Not understanding is no right to harm. Show courtesy, then step back. They want ordinary human things: laughter, love, and growth beside those they choose. To trans families — let’s keep smiling. Let’s fill the world with Love🌈

Dear Democrats, You will never be able to triangulate your way through racism/sexism/transphobia, because pushing a lighter, politer form of bigotry is always a lose-lose proposition. The bigots want the uncut stuff, while normal people aren't drawn to cowards who sell out. Stand your ground.

One of the worst parts of the Trump 2 admin (besides the paramilitary death squads, acceleration of wealth inequality, gutting of America’s scientific and medical research institutions, a near total rollback of the VRA, etc. etc.) is that the worst people in media get to fail all the way to the top.

In a theater? ‘Cats’. No question.

“Health officials have so far struggled to narrow down how the parasite is spreading.” Man, if only there were some Agency that could monitor the safety of our Food. Also, they could monitor Drug safety while they’re at it, as a treat. Oh well, it’s a mystery we’ll never solve I guess. Avoid food!

Just a heads up for whoever needs to hear it that it’s not a coincidence that the areas of the city and surrounding suburbs with the highest black population are the ones most frequently downwind of airborne pollutants. This is true in many cities in the US. Rare to see such a stark example though.

Some takes on last night’s primaries…

Rest in Peace Ron Spears. Responsible for so many pieces of artwork that got me hooked. One of the goats of the game.

You used to go to websites and they would have guestbooks that people would sign like it was a bed and breakfast

thankful for the re-release which made this film watchable by modern audiences

Honestly, as one of those “X-ennials” who grew up during the digital transition, I wouldn’t mind all that much if we just went back to doing everything analog. Every passing year these days makes digitizing everything seem like more and more of a mistake.

happy 9th anniversary to the day we watched Zendaya fall madly in love with Tom Holland in real-time

i am not 100% sure whether @wesaketchak.bsky.social is the original maker of this mash-up but i am 100% sure that it is brilliant and was crafted for my enjoyment particularly

Man it would be really great if Youtube didn’t *immediately* throw The Boys spoilers at me the very second each new episode gets uploaded.

This is exactly how you go from concentration camps to death camps. Throw a bunch of people into extremely close quarters, don’t worry about sanitation so preventable infectious diseases just *rip* through the population, and then withhold medical supplies and care.

How many years have I stated that beans are an excellent source of protein? And furthermore, digga-doo.

How it feels doing literally any task right now.

NOT NOW IRON CHEF BOT

Dear Apple: What exactly is the point of telling me to check my exercise rings when they just reset to zero ten minutes ago?

the party that wants to require ID to vote abruptly invalidating a thousand people’s IDs overnight seems like a pretty giant flashing red light

"Another glorious day at Milan Cortina for the Olympic Games! I'm Buck Laughlin, joined by Trevor Beckwith—Trevor have you ever driven a Milan Cortina?" "...I, I don't think—" "Great mileage, needs a roomier back seat. Gas grass or 'uh-oh,' nobody rides for free. Trevor Beckwith, your thoughts."

What is this stolen valor?

I've been thinking about this sign for 6 months. a phrase I'll treasure forever. a metaphor with boundless potential

Only 1000 holes to go.

If I had a nickel every time I’ve seen a @dropout.tv regular cast member selling insurance during an NFL ad break, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, etc., etc.

Starting the first episode off with a *real* bang considering how the last collaboration between Courtney Love and Marilyn Manson ended.

they should build the star wars bacta tank. it doesnt even matter if it works i just want to float in a warm goo tube for a few hours

please don't show me nate silver's opinions or thoughts or face

“Harmless”

Welp, just found out that my grandfather who is in his 80s probably has bone and prostate cancer in addition to the pneumonia and various infections he came down with recently. So naturally he’s a lock to be the next Democratic nominee for our House district.

It’s possible that I’m missing stuff, but I don’t get the sense that the people complaining about the injunction decision “don’t get it.” As if, once given all the details and walked through them by law professors, they’ll see it’s not so bad. I think they get it and agree with the dissenters.

Soldier on the moon. How did it get there.

Judging by the replies this post is accumulating, I’m eagerly awaiting Bob’s upcoming NYT guest opinion article about being “bullied” off of Bluesky.
