Back in MY day we got mad and wrote a 100,000 word fix it fic. Fandom these days is SOFT I TELL YOU they would never survive the things I have seen

It's not that the story was poorly written (it wasn't). It's that they feel entitled to have their specific fan fiction be recognized as official storyline, and when that didn't happen, they got all up in their feels instead of going to therapy about it.

"Not everyone deserves to live here" is the literal antithesis of how San Francisco was founded. The city exists because of the tens of thousands of people from all over the world who flooded in over a few decades during the Gold Rush and stayed to build something.

“san francisco has literally devolved into an unspeakably horrific extreme liberal city” buddy who do you think harvey milk was? a conservative reactionary?

*looking at the worst post of my life* I must not post. Reactive posting is the mind-killer. Dunking is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face the Bad Take. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. When the TL refreshes there shall be nothing. Only I remain.

STOP FOLLOWING TENNESSEE HOLLER

Since this news source no longer acts like one—never gives source info, dates, etc on its posts, and just posts free-floating clickbait and ragebait—I really wish folks would stop sharing it.

These are very charming. I hope someone in the menswear industry hires you to do illustrations for them.

Hey California! Be careful this election because the big money creeps are trying to trick you (again).

If you thought the Shane Gillis monologue was bad, here's an English PhD to show you how no, it is so much worse. (It's too long for bsky, so you'll have to jump to TikTok) www.tiktok.com/t/ZPLSks4j5/

Highly recommend local hardware stores. You can walk in and within 60 seconds Some Guy with an encyclopedic knowledge of every single item in the store (who may or may not work there) will be able to get you exactly what you want and at least 1 thing you didn't know you needed.

The official U.S. Department of Education account posted a Columbus Day video set to the song L'Amour toujours, which, if you don’t know, is a random dance song that’s been song co-opted by Nazi groups across Europe, complete with new (nazi) lyrics. link in next post. x.com/usedgov/stat...

It’s like writing up an Epstein profile and ignoring his sex crimes

Dan Froomkin/Press Watch/Heads Up News@froomkin.bsky.social · 17h ago

Absolutely stunning that in the NYT’s latest major story on Elon Musk single-handedly trying to save the GOP there is NOT ONE WORD about how he is the world’s most vocal white supremacist and advocate of ethnic cleansing.

So they’re torturing this guy.

Yep. This is where I am right now. As much as I detest the encroachment of AI into literary (and other) spaces, I'm also getting tired of these articles that only seem to target BIPOC or Global South authors using fruit from the poisoned tree.

I disliked "Serpent" as much as the next guy but I'm not happy about this burgeoning genre of "Let's publish articles in major American glossy magazines taking a huge shit on every new award winner from a third world country based on nothing but vibes and What AI Said"

Oh Wow.

how is it 20 degrees hotter in chicago in fall than it is in socal

Jocelyn Leitzinger@jocelynl.bsky.social · 13h ago

Currently 88° in Chicago. In mid-October. We've officially smashed the 10/12 heat record of 85°, which was previously set in 2008 I've heard every summer going forward will be the coolest summer of the rest of our lives as temps keep climbing higher each year. Seems the same may be true of Fall

My kid has started a Letterboxd list called Killer Sweaters for films where the killer wears a great sweater and they've asked me to throw it out to Bluesky for more because "that's the kind of thing those weirdos like to do"

you can just look up the law and see if the order violates it, you don't have to say "according to"

before this is over i will not be surprised if trump cuts down every cherry tree he can find just to spite DC

Chris Geidner@chrisgeidner.bsky.social · yesterday

BREAKING: Trump administration cut down more than 500 trees on Saturday at the East Potomac Golf Course after giving less than a full-day notice, with more tree-cutting planned, so plaintiffs challenging the effort went to court seeking a TRO tonight. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The Puritans "left England for religious freedom." Bullshit. They were an extremist Christian sect everyone hated so much they'd been ostracized from society so the choice was to come over here... and promptly lay waste.

We seem to be moving towards REVISIONIST HISTORY OF GENOCIDE IS BAD, ACTUALLY today and I need Americans to carry that energy into next month when you face the truth that the Pilgrims were the WORST FUCKING PEOPLE EVER.
