the thing i hate most about AI image gen is that no one does crude photoshops anymore, a tradition i will continue until the day i die

Trump: "Millions of American small businesses, including corner stores. What is a corner store? I've never heard that term. I know what a corner store is but I've never heard it described-- a corner store. Who the hell wrote that?"

@mayor.nyc.gov: "If you are a Mario Kart fan, government is Yoshi and philanthropy is the Golden Mushroom, that edge we need to beat Bowser on the Rainbow Road. To belabor this metaphor even further, Bowser is corporate greed in this scenario."

One of the biggest labor battles in the US is happening right now in Los Angeles, at USC, where our faculty-union campaign with majority support is being met by nasty, corporate-grade administrative resistance, and national press won't cover it.

Every generation needs its Galaxy Quest: a movie that, despite every individual element screaming that it can't be good, is actually good

I guess they couldn’t quite explain.

missed a call from the Crash Test Dummies this morning

Surprisingly, it’s a mummy. “WERWULF” is just what it has on its vanity plates.

Hey @jamesgunn.bsky.social now is your chance to get some amazing workers who are going to do their best work ever to piss of their old bosses.

I believe you mean “so badly”

For decades, birthday party clowns folded balloons and played games. John Wayne Gacy is taking a different approach.

Appropriate since snakes do not have arms.

"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.

In Korea, when the president declared martial law after midnight and erected barricades in Seoul, congressional reps from all parties ran into the streets, yanked ak47s from the army at the barricades, broke down the locked door to Congress, repealed the martial law order, and arrested the president

A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!

God help us.

Someone with the handle @velocity69.bsky.social is sharing a video with the caption:

"The highest quality video of the moon was just released…
so beautiful

* Artemis II"

It's gone viral, but it's not from Artemis II. If you've shared it, you might want to un-share.

A few have suggested that some aspects of this mission--joy, international teamwork, diversity--are being played up to stick it to the hateful attitude of the administration. But I don't think it's that. I think it's just that those things are essential to and inseparable from a mission like this.

As foretold by prophecy.

Imagine the delicious irony if he were to inhale it!

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

"go jump in a lake", "take a long walk off a short pier", "put an egg in your shoe and beat it", "go peddle your papers" these are just some of the violent, actionable threats journalists and academics face every two to three months on bluesky, or as some call it The Murder Website.

Ah yes, Matt Walsh, who was definitely present at the Civil War and is famously agenda-free.

Maybe it’s time for everyone to recognize that “normie“ is a label used for othering people on largely aesthetic grounds and not an actual, identifiable type of person.
