Iran going after Bsky is a genuinely funny waste of resources.

This is why you do not negotiate with terrorists

im so happy star trek ds9 enjoyers found me on bluesky. it is my favorite television show of all time and i cannot and will not ever shut up about how fucking good it is.

Two office workers are walking somewhere, one saying to the other "That guy Bill, he's such an idiot", the other says "He keeps ending business calls by saying 'I love you' like he's talking to his mommy." Behind them, unnoticed, another man, presumably bill, looks surprised and upset. We now see the man closer up, livid, furious, saying "I know what they think of me. Bill the klutz. Bill the idiot. They've underestimated me for the last time. I'm only using 5% of my true power." Bill stands with his fists clenched yelling "Witness me!" From offscreen someone else says "dude bill are you pissing?", as a small puddle of urine forms beneath Bill. Bill yells "YES!" as the urine rises, filling the room, up to his waist.

Antonymous/semi anonymous networks like 4chan and reddit are ideological petri dishes for the alt right - projects managed by, at most, seven people.

Buddy, I don't think I can help you understand the maze on the back of a cereal box.

Her platform already being palatable to someone as far right as Liz Cheney is not making the point you think it's making.

We need to start demanding specifics as the norm from politicians when they speak.

If someone is trying to sell you "We only disagree on 10% of things, why are you being so obsessive?" the question needs to be 'what is that 10%?', literally no other question trumps that.

I always enjoy when Backerkit says it's found a better address for me than the one I picked, and it's just my regular address but in all caps. It's like buying stuff from the Beastie Boys

Interesting

Oh you know how to read.

He opened everything up. The economy was more important than health. We were fucking there, dipshit.

eugenics is the official policy of the U.S. government (and it was under Biden too with his let it rip strategy for covid)

the Boots Riley discourse on twitter isn't going far enough imo. if you're actually a leftist, you shouldn't even be *watching* movies and television. the only way to actually be a Marxist is to live in a big tank like a guild navigator in Dune so that you can spend 24 hours a day posting

The comments to this are exactly what Bluesky is made for. Deeply anarchist, deeply nerdy, and deeply terminally online.

Cataphracts game paused at such a funny moment for me personally for reasons I can't talk about.

okay well it's like 300 for my hormones and 400 for my other medical supplies. please boost, I'm almost out of both.

My hot take is that in person dungeons and dragons and magic the gathering are both infinitely less bad for you than online gaming lol

Online gaming really is a plague to me.

my wife and i decided to do the hall pass thing she picked the mailman so i have also picked the mailman game on

One thing that rocks about birds is when you travel to a different part of the world and come across new kinds of birds that don't migrate to the area where you live. Multicoloured birds in parks in Argentina! Round bizarro world pigeons in Europe!

You don't know what words mean.

You’d better throw Paul Thomas Anderson’s THE MASTER in the trash while you’re at it, if you really are committed to the idea that a film produced by Megan Ellison is morally reprehensible

Hamilton, the musical, was state-sponsored propaganda.

dang teenagers refusing to do blow and get pregnant! what's this world coming to

I always thought Sun Tzu's "Art of War" was a little simplistic and obvious but it turns out yes, you do literally need to tell the Secretary of War "you need to feed your troops and keep them from being wiped out by preventable diseases"

SICARIO is a weird case tbh where I think there's a tension between the screenplay (which thinks Alejandro and Matt are cool guys) and the actual movie as directed by Villenueve (which clearly thinks they are the villains)

I don't think anyone who smeared Jeremy Corbyn as antisemitic should be listened to about anything. Never forget who did it and throw them and their opinions in the trash forever. Not out of any love for Corbyn, but because they failed a very easy test.

Or, hear me out, we're arguing about *exactly* the thing we're arguing about, and not just because it's not your topic of choice
