Allow me to reiterate:
As an elementary teacher who has car line/crosswalk duty during dismissal, I promise every single day I am closer to getting hit with a vehicle than the ICE agent who murdered Renée Good.
mother nature put the weather on shuffle
It’s unbelievable right?!
semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003
when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out
If our parents ever told us how much effort it actually takes just to maintain the most modest standard of living while we all fall apart like chronically online nature valley bars we would not have believed them
Always remember that listening to music can be the entire activity. Put on headphones. Blast it through speakers. Close your eyes and just listen.
Listening to music is not a background activity. It can be the entire journey, and it's worth the time.
Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.
Let me be clear, in a wild goose chase scenario you would not be chasing the goose
The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon
We joke about the Torment Nexus and all that, but...
The truth is science fiction warned us endlessly not to let fear control us.
"Fear is the mind killer"

Silicon Valley claimed to love SF, then built a machine to amplify fear as a means to control people.
The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.
Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.
The people who need help are not the problem.
It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.
2025 feels like that late-stage game of monopoly where you just go round and round paying rent and utilities forever and nobody knows what the rules are anymore and everyone’s just waiting for it all to end except the one player who cheated and has all the money
I mean, it's a drag, and we're all really busy, but there's going to need to be some kind of revolution. Says Skeletor flying a flag with his favorite leader in it - himself.
I'm gonna be a terrible ghost because as hard as it is to get ahold of me now, just wait and see how fast I decline a ouija board call
Only 15 days? Woof.
Okay clearly I missed this chat but I’m SO INTO WHATEVER IS HAPPENING WITH THE ART/MATH COMBOS ALWAYS
I don’t think you’ll find yourself disappointed!
quick while the government is shut down let’s all switch to metric
I just saw that today's date (9/16/25 in America, 16.9.25 in the civilized world) is a series of squares: 3x3/4x4/5x5
Everything is terrible, but that's something cool about today that we can all enjoy for a moment. Math is a language of the Universe. I love when I hear it like this.

All of this thread.
Ours too. Love this for us
This is the only way I find out about anything these days
Yeah, it’s been interesting to me how completely unsurprised I’ve been by virtually everything that’s happened since January but also I can tell that a part of me has simply shut down and gone numb to protect itself
Honestly, someone should just “accidentally” start their stream
I got murdered so hard the last time I was there.
I’m okay now tho
We’re gonna wind up in some sort of @chuckwendig.bsky.social Invasive situation now, aren’t we. Cool cool. That’s totally fine.
We must unite against AI the way Shelley and Lovelace united against Byron.
Watching this video 10 times has significantly improved my mood.
