Meet Pooh Bear. He’s found his chill spot in the Romantasy section with the Sarah J Maas collection: truly a man after our hearts. ❤️😍❤️ Some might even say he’s Poohfect.
Fucking over Russia was prescribed by Western economists who reduced the standard of living in the Wrst.
Or look at the inverse, the restoration of capitalism in the USSR led to a collapse in the standard of living that "had never before been seen in history, except in times of war." www.wsws.org/en/articles/...
Every once in a while I scroll the Discover feed and wonder why the space aliens don’t just blow us up
That's the bad thing about you commie types bitching about the vast improvement Elon Musk represents over the bad old days of a fully funded Securities Exchange Commission and laws against financial fraud. Elon would have been jailed ten years ago if that were were still reality.
Larry Ellison got his big break when he got hired on as the CIA’s first - and only! - “Databases Guy.” He wrote Oracle for the CIA. He loves to tell this story. Proud of it. For some reason he owns Columbia Broadcasting System and so I propose we rename it to: “CIA Broadcasting System” State TV

Oh great! The mandatory purchases of small, expensive wet meat treat cans he's going to impose on us, are going to wallop our budgets.
i have the best news, everyone. Chancleta has won every single election tonight, with approximately 99.8% of the vote. it gets better: you all did such a great job for him that he's decided any more elections in the future would only be pale imitations. so we're not going to have those anymore!
Goofy ass question: how fast could, in a laboratory setting, moths eat a sweater, at max speed? And are there labs around that have a critical mass of sweater eating moths that could supply enough moths?
Even with owning Twitter, literally sticking his thumb on the algorithm as hard as possible to model it in the image of a middle-aged apartheid pedophile, he *still* gets glimpses of the world outside his bubble. And each glimpse is just melting away his psyche.
mamdani's social media: NYC, today is a monumental day. I've slain Gorlax the Spurious, the beast who lived in the sewers and ate children and small dogs. every conservative thinkpiece article: Slaying Gorlax the Spurious might *sound* appealing, but what if you don't have children or small dogs?
Fellow academics: I know a Haitian PhD student who due to TPS termination needs another institutional affiliation not in the USA. Do you or someone you know have an avenue for them? If so, DM me.
Bay Area friends: would you consider opening your home to these two cuddly cats? A friend found them behind a gas station. Their sibling, a black cat, got adopted, but it appears no one likes orange cats. They are being kept in a bathroom for the time being and need a home.
A friend of mine found these three kittens behind a Bay Area gas station. They are tame, vaccinated, and incredibly affectionate. Unfortunately, she's unable to keep them and I'm trying to find them a home. They are at risk of going to a shelter. Bay Area people, are you open to adopting?
What's bizarre about the McConnell situation is that it's clear that somehow both parties have gamed it out and concluded that they most benefit from Undead Senator Who Can't Vote But Can't Be Replaced.
In honor of Obama's 65th birthday, the US government will drone strike a US citizen under eighteen on foreign soil.
Guys only want one thing and it’s disgusting.
God hunt us all, if we do not hunt Moby Dick to his death!
I don't think we truly appreciate the depth of the connections we make on social media until tragedy strikes someone we like and interact with
here's a fun lil exercise for cis people: how many articles would a publication have to print calling for your extermination before you would expect people who care about you to stop giving them money? and how would you feel if their excuse for still supporting them is some fuckass crossword puzzle?
Feds want unis: "reexamining admissions practices, hiring more conservative faculty, cracking down on student protests, combating grade inflation, reducing foreign donations and lowering tuition." Some faculty will fall for this nonsense. The bigger worry is that boards and presidents will.
It's disgusting that @abdulelsayed.bsky.social's campaign is being outspent 230:1 in some markets and is having the time of their lives lmfao.
Was nice knowing you all and no blindfold, thank you.
I think that people who self identify as snarky should be among the first to face the wall
Let's see venture capital bros try to conquer this Bluesky hero:
Yes..other half paddled a kayak dressed as a T-Rex this morning…
This doesn’t need to be a website for everyone! 80% of Americans have no interest in the Nazi CSAM website and if you can’t find a way to be profitable with a target demo that large you’re just another Silicon Valley dipshit
