I can’t say this enough — you don’t have to mutilate your language, and you do a disservice to important topics when you do so. This is going to be even more important as American authoritarianism accelerates.

Words included in my Nuremberg script: kill, murder, suicide, hanged, genocide, Nazi, holocaust, Hitler. The video is still monetized. Using bullshit algo-compliant words like unalive, sewerslide, mustache man, etc. is not just embarrassing - its NOT EFFECTIVE.

It’s wild to see Bluesky talking about local political candidates as if they’re not just your boring neighbors.

Instead of exporting right wing populism, the US should consider exporting norms around air conditioning. 91f in London is … hot.

Reminder when the court inevitably finds for Mahmoud in Mahmoud v. Taylor today: this was a really bad case, the people from the county made really dumb decisions and fighting it to the Supreme Court was just hubris. Total self own.

I for one am shocked congress wasn’t asked to formally declare war. The only other time this has happened was Libya2, Iraq2, Afghanistan, Yugoslavia, Somalia, Iraq1, Libya1, Grenada, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Korea…

I just hope today’s youths know that the real way to stop a for-funsies war in the Middle East is protest videos set to Op Ivy’s Unity. @reckless.bsky.social knows.

You break it you bought it

Is there a way to invest in yellow ribbon stock?

A pan-Asian punk band covering Neil Young in the parking lot of an abandoned Sears across from the state capitol is exactly the America I want.

Congress could regulate this but they won’t. It’s like watching a car accident happening in slow motionn

i've been trying to see what the right wing platforms (even outside of X) are showing people regarding the protests in LA and i am not sure it can be overstated just how much the AI slop is being used to reinforce the idea that downtown is a post-apocalyptic war zone

Is there any consensus on the maximum number of alarms a fire can have?

Is there any chance that in the process of blowing up our economy, we end up with the opportunity to buy the good prosciutto?

I miss the days when people posting “Tim Walz is a fascist” on this site would have been funny shitposting instead of echo chamber virtue signally defeatist bullshit.

Hanging out on the lawn of the state capitol while a Thai drag queen teaches us how to dance. Best state.

I guarantee that nothing in Clownfuck McGee’s life gives him as much pleasure as getting the proper plastic clips for the spoiler on my 20 year old Volvo just gave me.

Can anyone explain the weird noise floor on APT (Rose)? It’s not there all the time, wondering if it’s there to fool compressors or auto EQs or something? Pretty sure it’s not tape hiss 😂

@reckless.bsky.social one thing I really love about European ceos on decoder is that they’re much more willing to entertain the idea that they’re wrong, that the business might not pan out, etc.

Itchy boots, a Dutch woman who makes YouTube videos traveling solo around the world, is cancelling her US visit because it’s too risky. For context, this is a woman currently riding around Yemen. youtube.com/post/UgkxL4_...

What if the light rail just added a smoking car, so at least all the people smoking could go to one car?

I'm guessing this is implicit and deliberate comment by whoever does the web layout?

Scary stuff here.

Always good to spend a weekend in Vegas cutting loose* with the boys. *implementing poorly documented SDKs

I’m super excited for TikTokers to discover smuggling. “Hey guys here’s how you can pay for your trip to Europe by bringing back these six items”

www.nytimes.com/live/2025/04... An era of unmatched peace and prosperity comes to an end. It wasn't perfect, but the world will be poorer and more unstable in the decades to come.

Took many bags of books to the used bookstore. Only bought one book while there. Please clap.

Getting rid of most of my physical books. Cleaning out all the books from a poli sci major at the end of Clinton and in the early days of the global war on terror is quite a throwback.

Sucks that we’re moving to a centrally planned economy but I can’t buy a Lada Niva.

It’s just a fact that waffles taste better if you successfully remove all four wedges from the waffle maker as a single circle.
