In environments where vulnerability is mocked or dismissed, people learn to conceal the feeling. They may become fluent in productivity while losing touch with their inner weather.

Oh, yay! My Discover tab is working again.

Oh, dear God no, my Discover tab is working again.

A shot of a notification in the game Civilization 5" that says " An unidentified spy has stolen the secrets of Philosophy from Babylon 42".

An unidentified Civilization has STOLEN the secrets of Philosophy from my Capital City.

How does that even work?

Did they kidnap Aristotle? Are they macking on my vibe? Has someone pilfered all our meditation incense?

I’d do that thing you like*

a stuffed animal with red hair and big eyes is wearing a lab coat and a tie . Alt: Beaker, from the Muppets.

My kids are having a 'contest' to see who can sound more like Beaker, and it is exactly as annoying and hilarious as you imagine.

You know things are getting weird when the lapsed Catholics are defending the Pope.
Christ on a bike….

Is it an eye? Cave? Portal?

caffeine is perfect when you're having trouble concentrating and would rather be having trouble concentrating while vibrating

I just want someone to look at me the way Gary Busey looks at his therapy rock

To be fair this is a photograph of my actual doctor.

In a corridor aboard the USS Discovery, we see "Weird Al" Yankovic and Captain Christopher Pike leaning in toward the camera and acting silly. Al sports a goatee and sunglasses with his hair pulled back, as well as an all-white suit. Pike is wearing the blue Discovery uniform with gold accents.

From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

Octavia E. Butler, 1998:

"Magataotao" on Twitter writes: "I am Catholic. This👇is not my Pope." Attached is a video of the Pope saying that we should search for peace and reject war. A community note under their tweet says: "You are not a Catholic if you do not accept the Pope, but rather a schismatic. Canon 751: “Schism is the refusal of submission to the Supreme Pontiff,” ie. the Pope. https://www.vatican.va/archive/cod-iuris-canonici/eng/documents/cic_lib3-cann747-755_en.html"

first in my bloodline to see someone get excommunicated by a community note

This is Chewy. He loves to help his grandma garden. She can’t kneel down to dig holes anymore, but that’s his favorite part, so they're a perfect team. 14/10 (TT: chewythenewfie)

One thing about me is I'm absolutely against wiping out an entire civilization

at least tomorrow is friday

Heart monitor logbook to log symptoms or explain heart factors

VA doc has me wearing a heart monitor for the next 14 days so I'm gonna need to hit the button and then log shit like "stepped in to prevent a bar fight" or "was gifted a bump of cocaine"

“I post all the time on Bluesky and I never get any engagement”

Friendo have you considered skeeting out something incredibly stupid while mostly distracted by a tedious life task, preferably with an egregious typo in it? Because that right there is the juice

Don't taco Tuesday this shit. Millions of people spent the day wondering if they would get vaporized, and no one in our government stood up to him. Nothing cutesy about it.

Star Trek’s 21st century background story for the Star Trek future wasn’t supposed to be a prophecy.

Speaker Johnson, we are calling on you to bring the House back to DC IMMEDIATELY!

The Cabinet needs to invoke the 25th Amendment. But Congress can’t just sit on its hands and wait for that to happen when the President is threatening to commit war crimes TONIGHT.

party up front, dirge in the rear

if you don’t cringe when looking back at older posts then you’re not growing

my problem is that i legitimately think this is what it would be like to interact with wild predators

You can be opposed to the Iranian regime AND the reckless bombing of school kids.

You can support the troops AND be opposed to sending them into senseless wars.

You are not an antisemite if you decry the Israeli regime’s genocidal rampage.

Don’t let morons impose their idiotic view of the world.
