Just a reminder that yes, Angel the Series included an episode where the title character was turned into a Muppet.

Yep I heard you regarding Israel but I have to vote for Affordability. Do you know how much things cost. Maybe you should've bought me groceries instead of trying to buy elections
Somehow things that would have been a background gag in a Verhoeven movie are now just real
The govt has fired *all* the immigration attorneys representing detained children and given a $150 million contract to a 26-employee law firm in Texas with ONE immigration attorney. @theyoungcenter.bsky.social's Child Advocates are now the last line of defense for kids in deportation hearings.
Amy Jo (AJ) Cousins@ajcousins.bsky.social · 9h agoWanna help? Become a Waymaker! We're running, walking, cycling 20,000 miles in September to raise money to get immigrant kids out of detention and back with family. Someone who kayaks to work is dedicating his miles to Waymakers! A salsa dance class is counting steps! It all counts! #BeAWaymaker

The good rule of thumb here is: 1) Most pre-modern complex agrarian societies had some form of slavery, often a range of forms of unfreedom and 2) These were almost invariably horrifyingly brutal.
I knew i could rely on Bluesky to remember Chairface Chippendale's attack on the Moon.
Coach Finstock@coachfinstock.bsky.social · yesterdayThis whole story continues to justify my avoidance of Nextdoor. Even if it does mean i miss out of the lost pet posts...

Forty years ago, in 1986, NYC suffered over 1,600 homicides. Homicides would peak at over 2,200 a few years later. There were 305 in 2025.
Constantine@ajaxsinger.bsky.social · 22h agoFood, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.
i should add- breaking the collarbone of a baby who is the granddaughter of a REPUBLICAN US SENATOR is not a bridge too far for republicans. max miller is the villain in this story but bernie moreno looks like a feckless loser, allowing his party to carry on this way. what a pathetic bunch.
as long as there’s no cost for lying to investors and shareholders, he will keep lying to them, and they arguably deserve it
Jesus Mary and Joseph. I have intentionally used AI three times in the last year. None of those attempts were fully successful, although two of them did save me some labor.

My dog has an INHALER. This would never have happened in 1983.
BeijingPalmer@beijingpalmer.bsky.social · 20h agothe whole 'nothing has gotten better' discourse is of course fucking stupid in a million ways, but I just wanted to note that average dog lifespan in the United States has increased by two years since 2000.

TACO TRUCKS. good local draft beer. Being able to take a picture of a homemade pie and send it to my brother in Chicago. Being able to go to a bar and not have to wash my hair when I get home because it smells so bad. CSAs and farmers' markets.

omg yes, that was the "Chinese" food I grew up with. It was actually kind of Polynesian. Chow mein and pupu platters and fried wonton.
chbarts@chbarts.bsky.social · 3w agoVerify your age (and, in my case, region) The only Asian places were the kinds of Americanized Chinese restaurants with bamboo chopsticks that came in red paper wrapping with a diagram of how to use chopsticks and the Classic Chinese Zodiac Paper Placemat
“Uber’s strategy recycles an old and ugly script: If a woman drank, if she rode alone, if it was late, if her memory is imperfect, then maybe she is to blame,” Ms. Engstrom said. “But those are precisely the circumstances when Uber told consumers its service was supposed to protect them.”

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.
derek guy@dieworkwear.bsky.social · 4w agoA 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?
You can see the very obvious throughline from “men could transition and easily dominate women’s sports” to “women’s sports are lesser and shouldn’t be taken seriously” to “women shouldn’t play sports” to “here are the acceptable life choices for women”

I did not work countless hours in an ICU full of proned patients and go back to my hotel crying because we lost more patients in a day than a typical week to hear a moron with a worm in his brain say that the ICU's were empty. I AM SO FUCKING ANGRY.
Dr. Lucky Tran@luckytran.com · 3d agoI worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

Alison Robin@alisonrobin.com · 2d agoThe only people funding Antarctic expeditions anymore are private investors from old money who belong to weird social societies. These rich guys are just obsessed with recreating some expedition from the 30's that only found a couple fossils. I don't get it.
Absolutely unbelievable how solar power has taken off worldwide during the Hormuz oil crisis. You don't have to hand it to him, but Trump may have done more to finally kick off a global civilization of effete librul solar users than anyone else in the West
