A silver lining to this is that the people saying it’s laying not lying are 100% fucking wrong
The year is 2035. Flock cameras are everywhere. You step out of your home and hear a voice coming from somewhere overhead, possibly close to the streetlight next to you. It's me. "Collar gap."
Imagine deciding that the first time you take a stand, it's going to be for this
Alexander Kustov@akoustov.bsky.social · 3d agoThis is the first open letter I've signed. I encourage all academics who still care about higher ed's credibility to do it. We're at a crossroads: if we can't uphold academic freedom even for those whose views are despicable, we won't agree on anything else. johnarmstrongmaths.com/openletters/...
Hey @merriam-webster.com, this is a surprising example sentence for "hale"! Also apparently it's from Sports Illustrated?
Selfishly, I’ve REALLY been enjoying his work over the past few years. LOUSY CARTER and IF THAT MOCKINGBIRD DON’T SING in particular.

The New York Times@nytimes.com · 6d agoDreyer’s Grand Ice Cream voluntarily recalled their Outshine Fruit Bars on Sunday, officials said, out of concern that five flavors of the frozen treats may be contaminated with glass. No injuries linked to the recalled products have been reported.
regret to inform you if you're in my mentions trying to argue with Bruce Campbell about what the Evil Dead movies should be, you sound insane
He’s on the money, of course, and speaks to a problem in the horror community where the genre has become something to endure rather than enjoy.
priscilla page@priscillapage.bsky.social · 2w agothat's right, Bruce Campbell www.mensjournal.com/entertainmen...
The Green Knight (2021) Lowery understands you watch Authurian stories not for the "real" story behind the legend but for "magic exists and everybody is weird and horny about it." A worthy traveling companion to Excalibur (1981).
Stephen Root is one of the very few actors who has Philip Seymour Hoffman’s ability to play hyper-powerful will-eat-you-alive guys and mewling human-flop-sweat guys equally convincingly. A true great.
Karen Geier@karengeier.com · 2w agohe's great in everything but I think OFTEN about that episode of NewsRadio where he has to read the english translation of the Japanese translation of Jimmy James' book and how goddamned funny it was and how everyone must have corpsed multiple times in shooting it.
There is nothing that specifies WHEN you joined Bluesky quite like this belief. This place started with Alf dick and nudes. It was... a time.
Matt Ufford@mattufford.bsky.social · 2w agothe discourse is wild, man. bluesky is like the least horny place on the entire internet, then one director was like "I cut nude scenes out of my sex movie" and INSTANTLY everyone demanded nudity. and frankly I'm here for it. let's see it all hanging out, baby. for art. respectfully of course.
Some people get really fired up about the third conditional
I did not expect MADDIE'S SECRET to be... one of the best things I've seen this year? (on VOD now)

Not sure how you’re a newscaster who doesn’t know how to pronounce “cyclosporiasis” at this point
Michaela Coel would just stare at the villains and they’d crumble into tears, try her

FACT: Grammar is more fun with psycholinguistics
Prescriptivism Must Die!@mgrammar.bsky.social · 3w agoNeat rare #grammar sighting in the wild: a resumptive pronoun! "A glitch, which we will explain how to make use of *it* later [...]" By standard grammar rules and most syntactic analyses, that "it" shouldn't be there. The extracted noun is supposed to leave behind a silent gap, not a pronoun. 🧵
I once got pulled over in Minnesota and was terrified the cop was going to think I was making fun of him when I immediately slipped into a strong Minnesota accent (I am not from Minnesota)
Kat Tenbarge@kattenbarge.bsky.social · last mo.People are making fun of AOC for having a slight southern accent while speaking in Memphis but they clearly don’t know the pain of habitually and unconsciously imitating the speaking style of the people around you
