I'm sorry, @netflix.com – you expect we're all going to pay HOW MUCH, per month, starting in May? 😄 That's cute, that you think that. I guess it's time to become one of those intermittent subscribers, who maaaaaybe pops back if big content drops, a couple of times a year.

Likely Top 5 in that category, for me; a genuine bop (that has unironically ever been stuck in my head.) Though certainly I haven't sat down and watched that entire movie in, like, probably over a decade? Probably more??
OK, but counterpoint: I've got myself a notion (and one I know that you'll understand.) To set the world in motion by reaching out for each other's hand… 🎶 IF WE LISTEN TO EACH OTHER'S HEART, WE'LL FIND WE'RE NEVER TOO FAR APART–
From what I hear from friends who work in food service and prep, DoorDash exemplifies the fundamentally Sisyphean-and-alienated nature of labor in our current flaming-dumpster capitalist heckscape: endlessly making and bagging meals to be picked up by joyless drivers and taken you-know-not-where.
I think as a lil' present for myself this No Kings day, I've decided to start living in the reality in which @realbillmaher.bsky.social no longer exists; I don't know or care whether he died or just vanished like the proverbial fart in the wind, but I'm through listening/reading to anything from him
We elected a greedy tyrant, twice. He gleefully allowed childish white supremacists to disassemble the civil service. Millions are suffering & dying, and we did this to ourselves.
Happy weekend! We're only at war on the weekend (when the markets are closed.) You are living through the End of Empire.
(2/2) Host Justin Roczniak talks candidly about feeling ashamed. About this war of choice, this aggressive warfare, our nation is currently waging in Iran, because of our imbecilic President and his administration. And it really spoke to me. That's how I am feeling: ashamed.
(1/2) I was listening to a recent @wtyppod.bsky.social (the podcast about engineering disasters, with slides) episode– the one about the Ambassador Bridge– and. They started off, as they typically do, with a current events reaction segment (‘The God Damn News’) and–
I understand that he's the President? But I simply cannot keep paying attention to coverage of what he's saying about Iran. His remarks are simply too disconnected from reality, and interpreting them for signs of meaning is for me a wasted effort.
Gosh we really are in a particularly Lügenpresse-coded moment of this New Fascist period, aren't we? Noticed that the people being informed about what's actually happening is, in fact, really bad for them getting away with it, haven't they?
Winning seats in the midterms isn't enough. I need administration officials to see the inside of a courtroom.
Celebrate the true spirit of the holiday by gathering in solidarity with your peers to stab a tyrant to death in such a way that responsibility for the act is fully collectivized and distributed.
Centrism Does (Not) Exist
Iran already had a fresh drinking water supply problem? There is simply no way to frame targeting desalination infrastructure except as an effort to threaten the lives and health of civilians.
So you admit: Benghazi was bullshit? So you admit Benghazi was bullshit. So you admit Benghazi was bullshit!
There simply are no Antichrists. That's all make-believe, and basing any foreign policy or military strategy decisions on it is stupid bullshit.
My copies of @catieosaurus.bsky.social's book The ADHD Field Guide for Adults arrived today! I say ‘copies’ because of course I accidentally pre-ordered it twice; I was excited! … Gifting the extra copy to my Mom would probably be too passive-aggressive. Right?
May 2026 have been DJT's Final State of the Union. Impeach. Convict. Remove.
Lazy & stupid US President authorizes murder of civilians (incl. children) because no one e.g. jingled a shiny pair of keys to distract him out of getting aggro at the Middle East. I am not arguing that we aren't the Great Satan, I'm just always surprised at how senseless the reality seems to be.
I'm pretty tired, but I guess maybe we should do some stuff, too
“That's stupid. Are you stupid? Or lying?”
I blearily go to post some half-awake lukewarm SOTU take, and am greeted with this dreadful news. Fuck this bigotry and fuck anyone who supports it– and don't vote for anyone who won't unequivocally speak against it.
Honestly, the fact that he claims tariffs should replace income tax, and no one cuts him off to reply, “nobody with any brains in their head thinks that will work, you dolt”.
It's not a magic spell, Mr. President; repeating “totally exonerated” over and over doesn't make it true, no matter how many times you say it (you stupid dying baby.)
It is February 17th, 2026. There are 142 weeks remaining until the 2028 U.S. Presidential election. I will not vote for Gavin Newsom. #NeverNewsom

Hey Democrats? I don't give a fuck about body cameras. Jonathan Ross filmed himself murdering Renee Macklin Good with the cell phone in his other hand. You are compromising for something that won't help (like I knew you would.)
And inspiring others! To also eff off and die!
Die, as the penguin died: alone & delusional.
