PAST ME: ah, these two characters shall only speak in iambic pentameter; how frightfully clever.

PRESENT ME, THROTTLING PAST ME: it's like a fucking disease with you, isn't it? Smartest Boy in the Room Syndrome. Every little step has to turn into a jeté. #SecretProject

Okay gamers: I love giant robots but I hate the difficulty curve of most FromSoft games. Should I try Armored Core VI?

The fact that nobody seriously believes there is an institution in this country that will check the president—that we’re all just sitting here hoping that he gets distracted and fails to follow through on his genocidal threats—is the most damning indictment of our political system I’ve seen yet.

Bluesky users are mastering the fine art of blaming everything on "vibe coding" Use of AI coding tools has become a convenient boogeyman for any tech issues.

I guess BS has the juice now because there are articles based on people’s skeets.

Bible: In the end times there are gonna be charlatans who use my name to trick you into supporting evil and it will be incredibly obvious to everyone except you.

Evangelicals: This section of the Bible has always been mysteriously vague.

books: the rectangle that can’t send you push notifications. Try: books.

“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

"I can not believe America has becom--"

bitch, we have Andrew Jackson on our money. our default money. the only money the bank robot knows how to hand out.

It’s weird that congress has seemingly endless constant vacation time, it’s the way I assumed schoolteachers lived in the summer when I was a child. They’re parasailing on us.

It's not *that* kind of hornification, you pervs. It's about finding a dry, flexible surface and getting it sloppy wet.

seems like a good day to remind people that all posts and actions on bluesky are fully public, by design

blocks, muting, reply-limits, and please-dont-show-this are behaviors of the app that do not affect the underlying data

which, to reiterate, is **completely public**

The engineering management corollary of this is that token leaderboards are bad engineering management.

Come on then, and remove him.

The intelligence officials had deep expertise in U.S. military capabilities, and they knew the Iranian system and its players inside out. They had broken down Mr. Netanyahu’s presentation into four parts. First was decapitation — killing the ayatollah. Second was crippling Iran’s capacity to project power and threaten its neighbors. Third was a popular uprising inside Iran. And fourth was regime change, with a secular leader installed to govern the country. The U.S. officials assessed that the first two objectives were achievable with American intelligence and military power. They assessed that the third and fourth parts of Mr. Netanyahu’s pitch, which included the possibility of the Kurds mounting a ground invasion of Iran, were detached from reality. source: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/07/us/politics/trump-iran-war.html

And before we go patting senior US intelligence officials on the dick, it's worth noting that part 2 of Netanyahu's plan was *also* farcical, as the world can now see.

How Trump Took the U.S. to War With Iran

The Times is still garbage, of course, but it's a question of whether the garbage is an acceptable price for this level of access. Like building Boston's Back Bay on landfill.

Susie Wiles, the White House chief of staff, sat at the far end of the table. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who doubled as the national security adviser, had taken his regular seat. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Gen. Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who generally sat together in such settings, were on one side; joining them was John Ratcliffe, the C.I.A. director. Jared Kushner, the president’s son-in-law, and Steve Witkoff, Mr. Trump’s special envoy, who had been negotiating with the Iranians, rounded out the main group. The gathering had been kept deliberately small to guard against leaks. Other top cabinet secretaries had no idea it was happening. Also absent was the vice president. JD Vance was in Azerbaijan, and the meeting had been scheduled on such short notice that he was unable to make it back in time. source: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/07/us/politics/trump-iran-war.html

so you're saying your source was one of the people named here.

Conservative grifters aren't "suddenly switching sides", they're merely showing that they DO think long-term enough to know their grift is headed towards crossing a line where they'll be fighting over increasing shares of shrinking pie of conservative popularity, and trying to pull it back.

It is a matter of restraint and norms that Congress has not done this before. But all it takes is the political will. If you really, truly believe removing the president from office is the all-consuming existential priority, you have to be willing to not blink first, even if the pain is immense.

Normal Rockwell free speech picture.

All children are innocent and it’s proof of deep and far-reaching moral collapse that their murder is tolerated by so many.

Like genuinely, we do what people have done for centuries and work together to build organizations capable of standing up to the bourgeois controlled government. There are more of us than there are of them. Labor stoppages and strikes have the capacity to change what they do by pressuring capital.

there's a lot to quibble with on this statement starting with the moral model created by a bunch of slave owners but ultimately its correct in that whatever position of superiority we pretended to take up until now is firmly and laughably deceased

now the situation may be grim but we must always consider the possibility of a funny outcome:
-trump drops one atomic bomb to prove a point
-it's a dud
-iran recovers and reverse engineers the physics package
-nuclear armed iran!

"What can Democrats do?"

When the South Korean president attempted to declare martial law, South Korean lawmakers literally fought through tanks and military forces and climbed fences to get into their Parliament building to stop him.

So, you know, that.

The whole "absurdly dramatic framing of a game of chess" thing in comics gets a lot funner when you understand that the real reason it's such a frequent device is that it makes it less obvious that the artist is picking their angles to avoid having to draw the actual board.

Every person who has spent years saber rattling and pretending Iran was some rabid because it's muslim is responsible for this. The entire permission structure exists because of a multi-decade lie fronted by think tanks and cynical politicians yearning for a civilizational enemy.

Four headlines in which Marjorite Taylor Greene, Tucker Carolson, Piers Morgan, and Alex Jones condemn Trump for his genocidal threats to Iran.

Imagine being a moderate Republican and getting outflanked on decency, morality, and basic humanity by these four nutters
