“Everyone should be allowed to carry a gun for their safety but the government can murder you in the street if you have a gun” is an incredible endpoint for the conservative moment

I feel like it’s very important to let @raaleh.bsky.social and @postoctobrist.bsky.social know that apparently the new Narnia movie is entitled “The Magician’s Nephew” which feels like the sub heading of a section in a Hindenburg Research (RIP) short report.

What happened today in Minnesota is quite literally what the far right in America has said we need the 2nd Amendment and endless firearms for: To protect themselves from an oppressive federal govt Now those same people cheer the murder of a woman within SECONDS of her encounter the federal govt

Only 18 hours until the rest of my family comes home from an extended holiday so obviously I’m using my solo free time extremely effectively.

What are we reading this summer?

Fuck I missed Clipse so much. This goes so hard in the most mature way possible. Kendrick verse on ‘Chains & Whips’ is really something. music.apple.com/us/album/let...

Or, you know, you could just keep it at a ‘No’ and count yourself lucky.

Really feels like the U.S. government is continuing to fail to heed the immortal advice to not immanentize the eschaton.

After spending a weekend with my 70 year old parents, 60 year old aunts, and 70 year old in laws almost exclusively for 48 hours I’m convinced there should be a law mandating an upper age limit for cell phone camera usage.

Have I been struck blind? My cursory viewing of the Apple OS updates across devices is being labeled as a “(massive) visual overhaul of the design language” by media but it literally looks almost exactly the same as it does now. Are we really at this level of corporate gaslighting?

Have we ever considered that eyebrows are the mustache of the eyes

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is an absolute masterpiece. The best “Final Fantasy” game in decades, and it’s not even made by Square. Sandfall’s debut game has some of the most insane art direction I’ve ever seen.

Folks, I figured out the tariff strategy. Wait for it…

Major Baader-Meinhof phenomenon vibes while sitting at home with a sick toddler who is watching Miss Rachel while I listen to Chapo Trap House and work and Chapo suddenly starts talking about Miss Rachel.

It’s warm out which means it’s my semi-annual reminder to trim my toenails.

my new theory is that once you have a certain amount of money and wealth you start to go crazy and detach from reality. that number is different for everyone. for me it's $20

Is there anyone funny on here? Maybe someone from FinTwit with market takes? An edgelord troll with good memes? Cinephiles with movie news? Trying to curate a feed of something other than “Dems in Disarray” / “Authoritarianism is here - This is why” type content and I’m finding it rather difficult.

The season finale of Severance had to be the most bloated self-important inconsistently written piece of admittedly quite stunning filmmaking I have ever seen and Apple definitely deserves to continue bleeding $1B a year on Apple TV if this is what is getting past the gates.

It seems we have reached the point in late-stage capitalism where it is eating itself in installments. gizmodo.com/doordash-par...

China M1 (liquid monetary supply) chart looks totally insane since they changed how they calculate it.

It’s funny to think about how there have been two astronauts stuck in space on the ISS for NINE months and it doesn’t even track as a back page news item. In the 20th century and early 21st this story would have lead the news every night with a 24 hour chyron day counter on CNN.

every damn time

@darksidetheband.bsky.social has become one helluva psychedelic Moriconi-spaghetti-westernized latin and acid jazz infused rock band. Incredible show tonight in Detroit, well worth the trip cross-country to see them in a room like the Masonic. Nancy Sinatra cover was 👌

My friends in Detroit have a real killer Airbnb game going on.

my quest to make my backpack as obscurely niche nerd referential is at an end 📦❗️

Fed this very good rare Vance into GPT and was actually surprised at the response.

Giving some colorful responses to my spam texts today.

every time a toddler requires my attention this is what i think of

Where can I find a parlay that Conclave wins Best Picture, the under on the Pope dying within 12 hours of the win, and Fox News saying Hollywood’s blasphemy killed the pope?

Wolf, whatever you say I will repeat In a Strange cadence Where you Never know when I will put My commas and periods.

Has anyone ever considered that vaccine skepticism is just a subconscious fear of needles manifesting as a false belief that keeps you from being poked with a needle

If a fiction writer wrote this, their editor would return it saying it was too much. A hat on a hat on a hat. But no, this is real. www.thedailybeast.com/rfk-jrs-runn...

Every year we are one step closer to Metal Gear Rex.

Perhaps it’s not a good thing that the entire S&P is balanced on the weight of NVDA earnings beats, and more specifically, on NVDA earnings beats which need to be so hockey-stick shaped each quarter that anything less is effectively a miss to the market even when it’s a beat.

How is it possible that the @democrats.org are still sending loser-ass text messages like this to voters and donors? Seriously? Your best attempt at clickbait is name checking the MSM, not once but TWICE in one message? Who is this for? People who are as old as the pathetic Democratic leadership?
