I mean not a novel point but imagine trying to sell people on “public libraries” now
they are calling it the perfect summary of the "keep men out of women's sports" movement

To understand Kieran Culkin wife, one must ask: who is this venerable spouse? Does she have a height in meters? What proclivities may have driven her to be Culkin wife?
The spider that bit Peter Parker is also down there fighting crime. A moth stealing a silkworms’s silk. Bee trapping bugs in honey. He’s like I will dedicate my one-to-two-year lifespan to protecting the pile of mulch that I love lol. Mary Jane is a grasshopper.
Me trying to blow a medieval peasant’s mind: and the downloadable content for the game was actually already on the disc you were just paying to unlock it
Peasant(chewing the gas station beef jerky I gave him): I saw the cobbler’s wife kissing Satan’s asshole in the forest

Senator Elizabeth Warren introduced the bipartisan MATCH Act (Modernizing and Targeting American Controls for High-Tech Act) alongside Senator Roger Ricketts.
Just a random token of how bad this stuff sucks, Andy Kim co-introduced this, not Warren, and there is no "Senator Roger Ricketts"

Sometimes the hall outside my office suddenly and inexplicably smells like cookies; but sometimes it smells like exhaust fumes. There are no obvious reasons for either. I’m sure it’s fine
Not once in the 80s, 90s or 00s do I recall a politician urging the public to embrace email, mobile phones, texting, two factor authentication, online banking, air fryers, or to replace all their cassette collection with a CD collection.

It tells things.
as far as i can tell pope leo has never mentioned trump by name hes just like “killing people is wrong” or “concentration camps arent good” and theyre all taking it personally
CG businessman runs from a big chicken who appears to be standing still. Text: You can do it You can do it You can do it You can do it You can do it You can do it You can pummel fear (entrepreneurship makes you fast)

The super-rich are not worried about their car dying, or if they can afford daycare, how to feed a family & clothe growing children. They don't consider skipping a medication b/c of its cost.

I like bluesky because it feels so much like tumblr
1. barely works
