Adam summarizes my feelings exactly. (And not just about the article, either.)
Adam P Knave@adampknave.com · 2d agoI am gonna say something truly depressing here. I am glad I am getting older to the point of "Won't need to see where a lot of this lands because it makes me too sad to be anything but grateful for mortality."
This is true yes and also we know from experience if you give a single inch to any issue the radical center are crying about they will take it. So if we're annoying about it it's because fuck you that's why.
berserk@worstplace.bsky.social · 4d agoLeftists are glib about how upsetting it is to see someone suffering on the streets because 100% of people who complain about it follow it with "and that's why we need to turn homeless people into mulch"
It’s finally coffee day! Coffee Number One: starting things off sweet and instant with a Kopiko Brown coffee. Just to ease into things.
Devin Has Clean Counters in August@doctorteeth.bsky.social · 5d agoToday is the last day of July’s No Coffee Challenge and I have to tell you: I hated every moment of it. After the headaches subsided on Day 5, I still had multiple days where I was so tired and sad and just wanted a coffee that I nearly cried.

Betting is so unregulated & growing so fast in the US that it's creating a growing population of problem gamblers—Researchers at the New York Fed looked at millions of credit reports to show that debt delinquency jumps in states that legalized sports betting (and their neighbors)
The face of a man who loves his work.

starting to think the profit motive in news is just as damaging to society as the profit motive in health care or education or transportation or housing or food or... hmmm wait a minute

I am flabbergasted when anyone says they don’t like this movie. I know everyone has their own tastes, but the appeal of this movie feels simply undeniable.
Amanda/iamatrex@iamatrex.com · 2w agoSo @doctorteeth.bsky.social and I watched Ram Leela again. I think it's my favourite bollywood movie. It's fun and sexy and silly and drama, what more could you ask?! Also Ranveer Singh.
The death penalty remains an unbelievable moral stain on America. But that’s not my main takeaway from this piece. My main takeaway from virtually every piece about someone who’s terribly harmed others is that society should be throwing every possible resource at children.

"We have to make space for people who have abandoned bigotry and are trying to change their ways." Okay. Tell me why that space needs to be my Goddamned seat though? Dude set his own table on fire and you're trying to give him my chair at this one?
I feel like what makes Marvel fumbling the Blade movie extra wrong is that around 80% of guys have an idea for a Blade movie that, while terrible, would work for a Blade movie because Wesley Snipes would be karate fighting vampires during it
The four words that every Devin wants to hear? “Let’s watch RAM-LEELA.”
I'm watching in germany. The German commentators kept quiet for nearly the whole thing until suddenly the shot widened and we just hear with a German accent, "Oh, Miss Piggy"
Man, I know this cough syrup I’m taking is strong, I didn’t know it was “hallucinate Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem are playing the World Cup halftime show” strong
At the bar watching the football and as big a grump as I was about a fucking American-style halftime show at the World Cup I absolutely popped when The Muppets showed up. Then the woman next to me at the bar saw how I reacted to them and said to me in a strong Spanish accent “Who are those dolls?”

All the flawed wonder, all the stories, all the legendary writers and artists, that’s just so much shit to those people. I hate sounding so cynical about something that, dumb as it was, I used to really love. But that is what capitalism does. It turns your dreams into someone else’s fourth house.
