He/any. Unbuild walls. What's the cutoff for calling someone a media scholar?
Chicken breasts do not need shooters!! "there's a ton of things you can do with 80/20 ground beef" ok man
Mike Boylan-Kolchin@mbkplus.bsky.social · 2mo agoFine, I will do it. I will post cancel-able takes so that we don't have to talk about the stuff from yesterday any more. -The Yankees are the greatest baseball team out there -Chicken breasts are better & more versatile than thighs -It's OK to wash your cast iron pan with soap. In fact, you should
Watching the #WPBL games on the Disney+ stream and this Svedka AI ad they run just straight up has a topless woman in the background. Incredible times on this earth
My brother, if we win the Democratic Party primaries then we ARE the Democratic Party
Jaime Harrison@jaimeharrison.bsky.social · 3mo agoI say this with no ill will or animosity: if you hate the Democratic Party, then please don’t run for our nomination. Don’t use our resources. Don’t rely on our volunteers. Don’t use our infrastructure. Don’t ask Democrats to invest their time, money, and energy in your campaign.
I think the quality of the Galactic Racer game coming out should be judged primarily on whether the campaign mode includes the Ratts Tyerell Foundation
headfallsoff@headfallsoff.com · 3mo agohe was a great racer and a family man. he didn’t deserve to go out like this
Learning today that Minas Morgul glows just like a cop's gun when you look at it. If I knew that before I definitely forgot
My prediction for what they're gonna do tonight is they're gonna show Trump and Mamdani on the jumbotron in a split screen situation and hope that does the trick
Just finished Axie Oh's Floating World books, which were amazing! And of course I am participating in The Lord Of The Year @rangedtouch.bsky.social

Jack Jenkins@jackjenkins.me · 5mo agoTIL that there is an initiative to put a Christian cross on the moon by the year 2030. (Interestingly, this isn't entirely unprecedented: there was a similar effort in the Apollo era to put microfilm Bibles on the moon, but those were — to my knowledge — all brought back.) mooncross.org
An ersatz disalienation, or the spectacle of same, I think has a lot of explanatory power. Politically it would be entirely expected in a neoliberal system where the operating conditions include the replacement of actual mass political relations with the appearance of political relations.
Adam Serwer@adamserwer.bsky.social · 5mo agoYes. Blaming yourself in situations beyond your control is a form of coping with that lack of control.
no matter what the media tells you, it is perfectly fine for two men to consensually enter into a pete/goofy style neighborplay relationship where you sabotage each other's barbecues as part of an elaborate scheme or annex the part of their living room that is technically within your property line

Marc Normandin@marcnormandin.bsky.social · 6mo agoWas kind of weird how quickly everyone went "YEEES TELL YOUR STUPID BOYFRIEND HOW STUPID HE IS" about that Pacers video last night and even weirder now when the woman in question is like oh we just talk like that I love him lol
The really incredible thing is that "mantasy" appears to have been coined (this time around) not as a way to market the books to consumers but to pitch them to the executives deciding on the publishing calendar. It's like a word for everyone in the meeting to nod at each other when they hear it
Chelsea M. Cameron (she/they)@chel-c-cam.bsky.social · 6mo agoI have some really terrible news from Threads: (This “mantasy” is apparently “romantasy for dudes”)
That guy way over there picked up the letter from that guy's (way over there) desk, and carefully opened it. Two pieces of paper fluttered out, way over there.
They-Ra@xanindigo.bsky.social · 3y agoGonna write a novel in 7th person POV. All the story events happened to the protagonist’s sister’s wife’s neighbour’s brother’s best friend’s cousin.
Fuck, the jump cut at the beginning is so good

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.
Jesus Christ is this what my libertarian English teacher in high school was referencing that whole semester
TheHappySpaceman 🪐@thehappyspaceman.bsky.social · 10mo agoApparently, some people thought I was joking, and I don't even remotely regret to inform you all that this was 100% real.
Pointing to culture without speaking of the material systems of its reproduction is like examining a precipitate without mentioning the existence of chemical reactions. I happily join Ian in laughing at you if it gets under your skin when he calls you a child though, that's just good posting
So wait if I say USian on here my feed will just clean itself up a little bit?
My take is that freaking people out a bit with your post phrasing is the only truly ethical option when we live in a country where people just blithely vote for the next president every so often without even considering that nukes are a terrible invention and we just have a bunch of them all over
NPR@npr.org · 12mo agoA single nuclear warhead, of unknown origin, is heading toward the U.S. mainland in Kathryn Bigelow's new Netflix film. It's an unnerving scenario — but it's also thrilling to watch. n.pr/48przga
