appropriating a black man's statement about racism to justify your antisemitism ought to summon a lightning bolt from on high but alas, god and irony died in a fistfight at the edge of a volcano

pictured: why everybody let Steinbeck act like that

this is also how every season of Ryan Murphy's FEUD ends

none of you are free from sin

I apparently am wildly out of date on the political tenor of South Africa

"Zuckerberg could ship a kilo of macadamia nuts about 200 times around the world before its greenhouse gasses matched those of a kilo of his local beef" Mark Zuckerberg's cattle are comfortably the worst choice by a huge margin, in terms of climate impacts: plantbasednews.org/news/environ...

what's fraying my nerves this morning

please enjoy clicking through on this exchange, dear readers

Cannot be overstated how much impact constituent calls & faxes have on *the narrative an elected rep is able to tell about how they vote* — if AIPAC is attempting to paint a picture of constituent consent for US support of Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza, we MUST counterbalance that with refusal

typical interaction with someone who says "USAmericans"

One under-examined part of the tech world and billionaires (and tech billionaires) is they have awful taste. They do not know how to have good taste. Taste as a concept is foreign to them. They hear others speak of a good thing and try to dominate it instead of appreciate it. Completely soulless.

"AI George Carlin" is actually @joesryan.bsky.social's activation phrase

ah, bree flag emoji, one of bsky's first great posters Like That

looking forward to reading the paragraph about Javy Baez who is my friend and every bit as good as ever (at being my friend)

yeah I like Dune II... dune II moms at the same time

take heed! the puppetmaster doth stalk these posts!

"passive voice" is quickly joining "oxford comma" in the pantheon of concepts subliterates memorize so they can cosplay as smart in random contexts

love dudes who think they're One of the Good Ones and demonstrate that by going "Well I've never seen that happen!" any time women talk about sexism, invariably followed by elaborating on how hot they find it when a woman does whatever she's getting sexism for.

I can never eat canelés because of that one book cover

everyone who is less online than me is a normo. a babe in the woods. everyone who is more online than me has a brain that is fully cooked. only I am the correct amount of online.

Gotta say this seems like the noisiest, least effective insertion point for an ad. You're competing with the in-store coupons, shelf placements, and your own products, all for a customer who just as likely has made their list already.

Good morning godless communists.

I always wonder if this is something education can solve

none of the substack news affects me thanks to my lifelong policy of not paying money to receive email

is now a weird time to say that Jo Koy is, in terms of sheer number of people who have ever paid money to see him tell jokes, one of the most successful comedians ever to live

hate to ackshually but "politically correct" was coined by lesbians who wanted to bully each other about fucking people without the express permission of the most obnoxious girls in the drum circle

conservatives seem to have replaced “CRT” with “DEI” as a catch-all vessel for their complaints about the feeling they get when someone makes them think about racism

@alexfalcone.bsky.social did you end up killing that guy or nah

Showing me the COVID wastewater figures isn't going to stop my from snorting sewage. I live to live, not cower.

Justy, Justy, big and tall, 🎶 Friend to creatures to great and small, (yeah!) 🎶 Justy, Justy, he’s our friend, 🎶 He’s got a smile that never ends, (whoa!) 🎶 Justy, Justy, now you know his song, 🎶 Come on everybody, let’s sing along! (yay!) 🎶 It’s Justy.

when's the last time Tom Cruise played a character who had a dad

once there had been a Rule you must always follow the Rule and your goodness as a person is measured by how hard you follow the Rule and how much you scold others about the Rule if they don't follow the Rule they aren't people and you can do whatever you want to them because you are Good

100 million infections with this level of hospitalization would be a huge W for immunity

We gotta start policing some of y'alls invite codes

say this three times in the mirror for the Hotdish Ghost to visit you

there's a huge swath of humanity - sometimes I worry it's a majority - who process encountering new information as "that weirdo tried to tell me something weird" and their only reaction is to get mad. these people should never have left their ancestral villages. society should be built without them

the Just Walk Up and Offer the Manager Firm Handshake squad has hunt-and-pecked their way over here now and I hope their grandchildren pull the plug and take all their franklin mint plates to the landfill

is there a gas leak on this fucking app

"excluded from protections" is such a condescending way to express total ignorance about an industry change those "very vocal" journalists thoroughly explained would hurt them terribly
