It's just fascinating to me how the Bluesky team keeps taking active steps to look bad. They don't just randomly step on rakes. They go into the shed, lift the rake off where it's hanging on the wall, carefully place it on the grass, and then step full force on that motherfucker.

I got put on that list after taunting the script that compiles a different AI Blocklist prompting the moderator to manually add me and quoteskeet it with a joke. Honestly joke's on them if their advanced algorithms can't detect someone with "avowed Luddite" in her bio as an AI Hater.

GHB is truly yhe Quaaludes of our time.

I think we're due for a Legally Blonde reboot where Elle is targeted by the state for her integrity and spends the whole movie outsmarting cops. Call it "Illegally Blonde."

A golden retriever has both paws up at a bank teller’s window.

“Are you the branch manager?”
“Yes I am, how can I help you?”
“I would like two branches, please.”
“How would you like that?”
“Two big sticks, four little sticks.”

Low key wish I could just headcanon this as the real Quinn plot from "Is It College Yet?" but her Machiavellian power plays would never let something as trivial as a boyfriend influence her career trajectory. She would just leverage instagram fame into becoming Speaker of the House instead.

This movie is healing the wound I sustained watching the Quinn plot in "Is It College Yet?" Brownie points cause I went to a Harvard Feeder.

Reese Whitherspoon in Legally Blonde sitting in a Harvard Lecture hall surrounded by dweebs on laptops taking notes in a heart shaped notepad with a pink fuzzy pen. Yes I'm doing my nails while I watch it.

The statistic that fhe average advisor has been fired by 40% of Labour PMs is inaccurate. Firesded Pete is an outlier and should not have been counted.

kinda fascinated by how the real big sea change with Claude etc is you can ask it a question how you would a person and then somehow you stop treating it like a person because I know y'all aint believing half of this shit if a person said it

The GOP has spent a decade resurrecting Jim Crow-style voter suppression and now run domestic terror campaigns on election day but sure "Biden Skippers*" are the problem.

*Latest Fad

RFK Jr. is a guy who was meant to commit a series of themed animal crimes in Gotham City with the ultimate goal to “eat the Bat” before being subdued and returned to Arkham.

There's a ton of places I will never shop but the only one where I feel like I'm truly *boycotting* it is Starbucks. The rest of the time it's either smth I wouldn't buy anyway or a "oh, there's three options here, and I'm gonna pick one of the other two."

I do get an odd kick whenever I hear about a Right Wing fervor saying people *have* to buy a product I would never consider buying regardless. I participate in so many boycotts simply by not buying very many things. It's beautiful.

Comic: Types of Board Game. [Each panel has a person, a person with a ponytail, a person with shoulder-length hair, and a person with a white hat seated around a table with different board game and pieces on top.

i'm not crashing out. i'm crashing in.

The advent of Vibe Coding offers a whole new set of opportunities for hacker orgs to take credit when tech companies shoot themselves in the foot.

Omg finally a proper successor to Raddit. That was a significant chunk of how I found music in 2013-17 but a Reddit-side update made the autoplay significantly less functional and the devs never really fixed it.

I'll be honest with you, people don't like Keir on the door but it's not over this Mandelson thing. They don't like him personally

Great news boss, this Mandelson stuff isn’t cutting through on the doorstep because they already think you’re a cunt

Hey, chat, how can I support SA survivors while too brittle to do crisis intervention? This shit is so horrifying and so normalized and I really really wanna be helping other victims but when I reached out to a local advocacy org abt clerical help I didn't get a reply.

horseshoe theory is real. leftists almost got kat abughazaleh elected into congress and now it comes out that her boyfriend owns infowars…

If they did it again it wouldn't absolve the LAPD of their mountain of sins, but it would be a nice start.

The RFK Assassination was an inside job. The evidence is circumstantial, but look at everything else Daryl Gates did and tell me that the LAPD deserves the benefit of the doubt.

It will surprise approximately 0 of my followers to know that the earlier Trans!Hunter S Thompson Doonesburyposting caused a multi-hour meltdown about my ex. The post will stay in the Doonesbury thread, tho. It's too weird to not note.

Y'know what, recriminalize it. Apparently we can't trust it with people who aren't cool enough to break the law.

Honestly I think it says something very good about the type of crazy Hunter S Thompson was that these two very different pastiches of him in very different artistic statements can both get genderswapped and you go "that makes sense. It's bad trans rep, but nobody's pretending this is gender anyway."

1981/11/3-4 [Zeke Brenner in his hospital bed recovering from having been shot by Duke being held at gunpoint by crossdressing Nurse Duke] Zeke: Duke! What? How? Duke: I told your guard he had a phone call. Bright fellow. / Zeke: Duke.. please.. let's be reasonable! Duke: Listen very carefully, dog breath, you're going to pick up that phone and call the police. / Zeke: Sure, Duke. What for? Duke: You're going to tell that detective you've decided to drop all charges and you're going to tell it to him very calmly / Zeke: Calmly, you say. Duke: Right. You're even going to throw in a joke or two Zeke: Lieutenant O'Malley? Hi, it's Zeke Brenner. / O'Malley: Yeah, Zeke, what's up? Zeke: Well, Lieutenant, I've been thinking it over, and I've decided not to press charges against Duke. / O'Malley: What? Zeke: I just can't, Lieutenant. Duke's been too good to me, almost like a father. Try to understand.. / O'Malley: Stall him, we'll be right down. Zeke: What can I tell you, Lieutenant? I just love the guy. [Transcriber's Note: this sequence more directly prefigures Heath Ledger's crossdressing Nurse Joker, but I'm rolling with the Venture Bros comparison cause it's more absurdly niche]

1981/11/5-7 [Nurse Duke smoking at the edge of Brenner's hospital bed] Duke: Nicely handled, kid! I appreciate your dropping the charges. Zeke: Well, to be honest, Duke, I'm glad it's behind us. We've been friends too long. / [silence] / Duke: Well? Zeke: Well, what, Duke? / Duke: Aren't you going to offer me some of your medication? Zeke: Oh, Gosh, where are my manners? What's your pleasure, Duke? [Nurse Duke has taken off her hat looking out the window serving a Betty Friedan-esque look] Duke: You know, Brenner, it's a shame we couldn't have worked this out a little earlier. Your getting shot has really set back my plans to.. oh my God! / Duke: The whole parking lot is lousy with black and whites! That damn guard must have called them! / Duke: You better get down there and tell them you've dropped the charges! You hear me, Brenner? Brenner? / [Just outside the room] Zeke: I think your cleanest shot is from the nurse's stand. Proto-SWAT officer: Thanks, kid! We'll take it from here! [Duke on a payphone, still wearing her wig, now in trench coat with legs that could kill even more reliably than Duke can kill Zeke Brenner] Duke: Is that you, Honey? Honey: Sir! Where are you? / Duke: Out at the airport. I just got in.. Honey: I heard about your gun battle, sir. It's in all the papers. / Duke: It is? Honey: Yes, sir, according to the police, you shot up an entire intensive care ward, putting four patients into shock. / Duke: It happens, Honey, can we meet? Honey: That would be nice, sir. I understand you've grown your hair.

Hunter Gathers after having undergone complete medical transition because Brock Samson's one rule is that he doesn't kill women...

Sonuvabitch what do you mean Doonesbury walked tone deaf trans!Hunter S Thompson so that Venture Bros could run tone deaf trans!Hunter S Thompson?!?!?

Legitimately incredible news for anyone with "Alex Jones Replaced By ChatGPT" on their Bingo cards...
