the real issue with the internet in 2026 is nobody talks about Domo-kun anymore.

Saw a post saying "I don't want NSFW accounts to talk about voting, just let me jack off" Buddy, NSFW artists and sex workers are being constantly attacked by a government of nonces trying to distract from their own crimes by pinning the blame on porn. They have the right to speak up about this.

"saudi arabia owns EA" is going to be the headline you see basically everywhere for this one but "jared kushner is about to use EA as a vehicle for trump administration bribes" is equally relevant imo

The SCREEN Act is not just another age-verification bill — it goes much further than anything passed at the state-level or in other countries. 1. The bill doesn't just target porn sites. It goes after *any* site that allows material "harmful" to minors. You'd have to scan your face to use Google.

Hey, you ever heard me (constantly) going on about Babylon 5? It's starting to air, in its entirety, on YouTube.

Broke: Star Trek says humans will abandon all religion in the future. Woke: Dune says religion will continue to be both a source of strength and a tool of control for oppressed peoples. Bespoke: Babylon 5 says we'll get MORE religions, and Jews will have to sort out what alien foods are kosher.

wow what a blessing to exist

Sometimes I see people bring up America's legal obligation to hear asylum seekers, but I rarely see people bring up our moral obligation The violence people are fleeing is 99% our fault. Our fucking CIA. Our guns. We owe them.

That's what taxes are, man. That's the definition of taxes. "You are subsidizing things you might never use" man shut the fuck up. My taxes currently subsidize like oil company exec private jets, you think I'm upset at low-income people eating inexpensive bananas?

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

I would like to propose the Taco Bell Principle When a person/institution Did A Problem, & IMMEDIATELY fesses up & takes proactive steps to solve it That's exactly what we want them to do? So how bout we let them live ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sarah Taber@sarahtaber.bsky.social · 3w ago

A quick word on Taco Bell: That's where we found the suspected lettuce, and it's not bc Taco Bell is gross. It's bc Taco Bell is REALLY GOOD at tracing product! Keeping track of exactly where they got their ingredients, & exactly what restaurants each shipment of ingredients went to!

Please stop assuming anyone remotely affiliated with the Trump administration or its related works are willing to operate in good faith. You are only legitimizing their nonsense.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez@ocasio-cortez.house.gov · 2d ago

There is pervasive corruption across our healthcare and agricultural systems that defy party lines. I meet with MAHA activists because a lot of their concerns are bipartisan issues that major corporations paint as partisan. The fight isn't left and right, it's top and bottom.

yup, we're co-opting capitalism's core machinery that just goes "unlimited growth" by just making solar the cheapest option

Rosly@rosly.bsky.social · 2d ago

So one of the core problems of this century is that the human population has doubled twice in the last 100 years. If renewables can see a similar exponential growth, sustained long enough, we might be able to make a serious dent in our greenhouse gas debt. In like, not that much time.

a thing that came out about yoon's attempted coup in south korea is that he wanted to send special ops troops into parliament on no notice and they were like "are you fucking crazy" bc in real life special ops are meticulously rehearsed and they didn't even have access to building floorplans

Mike Black@mikeblack114.bsky.social · 2w ago

Special operations don't mean going in all guns blazing. It means special planning, special care, fully briefed agents in possession of all possible alternatives. If you want james bond go to your library. But if you want a successful operation sit at your desk and think. And then think again

Summer in MN is unparalleled. Make it a full vacation.

These bans are ineffective for their stated purpose, but they *do* empower states to create ugly architectures of surveillance and control. This will not solve the problems that lead social media to be a festering malignancy on democracy, it just erodes our freedoms for no discernible gain.

I have, with my own eyes, watched my tax dollars in the form of missiles as they hit buildings inhabited by civilians. I'd much prefer subsidizing a grocery story I don't use.

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."

Guess who's getting rid of wind power!

Paul Waldman@paulwaldman.bsky.social · 2d ago

FYI the states that generate the most wind power are Texas, Iowa, and Oklahoma

At these prices, it ceases being gambling and becomes securities

"Dyfed, the Guiding Hand" - 16"x20" Oil on Cradled Board AD: Deborah Garcia This was the first time I've read an entire book to really dial in on a Magic assignment, but I'm glad I did. There are a lot of narrative details woven in throughout her design and the scene itself. #mtg #mtgmbc

never thought short form video would be able to capture a type of humor i can only describe as “the far side-esque” but this comes close.

This is a very relevant point Also, you will hate yourself for it if you scroll up and read where this thread originated. I am warning you now.
