Brazilians recommending not to amplify right-wing talking points by dunking and quoting, as a winning strategy Next day, my tl is full of people dunking on rfk jr I literally would not have seen the bigotry if it wasn't for y'all repeating it. That's exactly what the Brazilians were on about!

You’re gonna want to see what the BlueSky guys have decided is too intolerant for you to read.

Brazil going the way of South Korea. Basically around the world women are desperately trying to keep power out of the hands of incredibly stupid fascistic grifters while men keep trying to hand it over. Men are an embarrassing cringe gender.

I started here, travelling from thread to thread---no end of retweetable observations. But it seems cleaner just to share where I started and let you explore on your own. Have fun!

no matter how sure you are that these guys have broken a whole bunch of laws, you aren't nearly as certain as they are

Grateful for zoo social media accounts for animal videos you can trust

I was talking to the neighbors about how nice the weather has been, and they were like "but it's always cold on Halloween. And usually rainy." The forecasted high has gone from 56 to 64, but also the chance of rain has gone up 30%, so lol

We threw away most of the Halloween chocolate last year, because it all tastes bad now

This story absolutely rocks. A little grim, but also just a blast to read throughout.

I have to do the two hour "manager" workplace harassment training even though the extent of my power is only to do system actions in Workday; I am not even allowed to approve time off exceptions or bonus amounts. It's very unfair

If James Talarico loses next month blame it all on me. I live in New York and have nothing to do with Texas, but I have ignored his what I estimate is approximately 433 texts asking me for money. So.

Has to be said that a great thing about Lula is he is a champion grade hater

Alli DeJong@allidejong.bsky.social · 2d ago

Lula closing this election by saying that no sniveling nepo baby who never worked a day in his life was going to stand there and call him Nine Fingers when he lost his finger WORKING and how dare he insult the workers of Brazil… was about the sickest thing I have ever seen in my life

the way my eyes lit up. please do this. i've been through a lot and i deserve a treat

Gas stoves are absurd. What do you mean I'm cooking over an open flame like I'm a gd pioneer? And the ovens! Terrible!!

Got a last minute slot for family photos tomorrow and am realizing that my husband has no plain polos. Everything has a novelty patch, either authentic or aftermarket

*taps the tampa bay rays on the roof* see, there's your baserunning problem. rays don't have legs.

So many AI flyers in the What's Happening in [village] FB group that I saw one that wasn't and thought "hell yeah, that's a Canva template if I ever saw one"

If you play the extended edition of fellowship of the rings tomorrow at exactly 8:35:38am at exactly 10:00 a.m. gandalf will say "You are in the house of Elrond, and it is ten o'clock in the morning, on October the twenty-fourth, if you want to know."

My kids have election day off (plus the day before, for parent teacher conferences) and my daughter said it's because the schools are polling sites. My school was too, but they just put up little signs directing people to the library. It is a very different world now.

Every time I see a video with Mamdani, I think, "I can't believe I respect a man who wears a ring on his pointer finger"

I know this is campaigning because they grow apples is Michigan, but also you love to see when they just nerd out about something

For fuck’s sake

American has this too, which is fun because until a few months ago we didn't have 1:1 devices for my family, so my son would watch my phone and I would read on my kindle (if I remembered it) or just rawdog the short flights

Welcome to whatever era of kayfabe capitalism this is!

Maybe you should focus on what your VP’s real name is.

Apples are just astonishingly better than when I was a kid and what you'd get at the grocery store were either mushy red delicious or lemon-sour granny smiths.

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

I haven't put on false lashes since I had to start wearing reading glasses and quickly gave it up as a bad job

Unwrapped the Xanadu cd I bought on Amazon literally before my now-teenager was born (it came with a digital copy) to play on my new cd player

found out that my mother in law decided she was aggressively pro trans rights literally by going, I don't know anything about this but everyone who is against trans rights is also against free school lunch, the issue I know and care a lot about, so this must be the correct way to feel about this

Googling "what jobs don't make you use AI" on my work computer. Autopredict thought I might be looking for what jobs don't crush your spirit

Apparently our middle school has a "fist bump Friday" with the village police department where they come greet the kids on their way in. Me: what he hell? Email continues: Students are welcome to enter Door 1 if they prefer not to interact with the police officers. Me: Heck yeah!
