Best description I can make of Bluesky is that it is a Twitter analog divided nigh evenly between joyless people that cannot take anything without dreadfully grave seriousness, and people who are incapable of taking anything seriously.

Now, I'm not going to pretend that I'm some sort of scheduling savant (the most scheduling I've ever done is the employee schedules for a month at a restaurant)... but if I was the WNBA, I'd have answered "What should we do about Game 6 of the Finals" at some point before Game 1 tipped off.

The Dark Tower Between My Legs.

As far as the Atlanta Falcons and their new logo background goes, it seems quite obvious to me that any similarities to Nazi designs are completely unintentional (it's quite literally their logo and colors from the 1960s slapped together). That doesn't mean it still isn't funny as hell to dunk on.

I can somewhat understand an instinctive defensive crouch on the topic of immigration from the left. It has historically and up to very, very recently been a topic the public has strongly supported the GOP on. But that is not the case right now, and we can't be afraid of it in this moment.

One thing that I find that has helped me navigate Fortune's Weave is to accept that I can't (and shouldn't) try to do everything in every chapter.

Painful reality is that this is true, honestly. Ask yourself, how many lives have been ruined by being an abuser, and how many lives have been ruined by being homeless?

One man refused to disavow his desire for a theocracy governing the United States of America. And it wasn't El-Sayed.

The goal I have for the next two years is to stop the bleeding. That's all that any left-leaning Senate and House majority could really do with all the other roadblocks still in place. WHAT they do in the next two years will be less important than showing they are doing SOMETHING.

This is artistic beauty. I will not accept any debate on this matter.

These are important bills to have on the record, if you will. The important thing is to NOT get angry and bitter and jaded when they obviously can't be passed right away.

Lately, when I hear someone scream "freedom of speech" in a public venue, they really seem to mean, "freedom from consequences."

“They are lucky that what Black people are looking for is equality and not revenge.”

The modern GOP base is just people who suck and want to force everyone else to pretend they don't suck.

On one hand, I don't want to drag LeBron just for playing the white man's game (and frankly playing it well). But... geezus, at some point, It's not mean to ask if there are ANY lines he's not willing to cross.

Even if you want to ignore Rowling's transphobia, you also have to reckon with her antisemitism and her racism.

Just gonna throw this out there, but "Free Palestine" and "Death to Israel" are NOT synonyms, no matter how much some terminally online twats on social media want you to believe it is.

I am both intrigued and terrified.

Hey, I can see all y'all out there, thinking, "You know what would be cool? To pull a muscle in my NECK." I'm here to tell you, it's not cool. Don't do it.

This is the result of decades of being told your shit don't stink, and in fact actively rejecting anyone who might tell you differently.

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

This is a completely fair take. Even when we don't actively try to, just passively accepting the privilege is complicity. That, in and of itself isn't the sin. The sin is refusing to extend that privilege to others and perpetuating the systems of oppression.

This and I think we're seeing the realization that a lot of rules of etiquette are just the hangups of people with power and privilege who insist the world cater to their peculiarities.

This is what we get when we demand our politics entertain us. We want reality TV in Washington D.C.? We can't be astonished when get reality TV characters.

Leda: I just wanna do all sorts of dirty things to you... Tialla: Hands off! Cai's not like that! Cai: Now hold up, let's not be hasty. Tell me more... Fortune's Weave character dynamics are top tier.

It's kinda funny how Trump is railing on Canada about immigration there when Canada (like most of the developed world) is positively elated that the United States is taking attention away from their draconian and heartless immigration policies.

A huge part of the problem is there are no small number of Zionists and antismeites who REALLY want those to terms to be synonyms for their own self-serving reasons. Mr. Marshall is neither, but it's easy to drag him into those fights by virtue of his online presence.

You mean... like the agreement that is already in place since the 1950's?

To be fair, Christopher Walken is probably the closest nature has come to the "Ultimate Man," so this tracks...

The people forming these cults need to stop reading my post-apocalyptic books like they are instruction manuals.

I find it both distressing and amusing how many people are astonished that the billionaire class uses cryptocurrency to fund their criminal lifestyles considering that was and is crypto's original and fully intended purpose to begin with.

Donald Trump is living their best life, and they live vicariously through him.

I'd argue it did... but at the same time, what we consider "slop" has also changed. A ton of people definitely looked down on blogs at the time they were ascendent. Those same people would probably look back now and think "Jeez, we had it pretty good back then after all..."
