I already know a man that thinks Star Trek should be Star Wars and Star Wars should be Star Trek and his name is JJ Abrams and he’s personally responsible for most of the problems of the 21st century

Either Zohran is incapable of a bad picture or Republicans are so secretly in love with him. Every scare ad with him it's like " look at this cool guy".

Again the reason the Covid-era Expanded Child tax credit and proposals like Mitt Romney's to make it permanent didn't stick is because children can't vote and parents of young children are a tiny voting block. So when it didn't happen there was almost zero pushback in media or activist groups.

you could do it like a classic European socdem-Christian Dem compromise, we get free daycare, you get stay at home parent subsidy. if Republicans wanted to offer that bargain to, say, President AOC I guarantee she'd accept it in a heartbeat

They should put a little piece of candy under the plastic push-up part that falls off when you're out of deodorant

We taught our daughter to say "no thank you" at an early age as an alternative to screaming no and tantrums. She quickly learned to use it to try and avoid bedtime, getting in the car, and sharing toys.

Some friends are teaching their baby ASL as an early bridge to speech and they made the mistake of teaching her “want” as a concept. Now she wanders around the house signing “want” all the time as an expression of unfocused desire. They fucked up and made the baby invent the opposite of Buddhism.

This is Facebook-level posting. "Too many chemicals. Because of hormone." is typical vague posting. The ban on American milk has much more to do with cow health than it does human health risk. The cake thing is hyperbole based off a single tax case.

ShoeOnHead is basically millennial Bill Maher. Top priorities are being a reactionary atheist who hates the mainstream because it's cringe. When confronted on bad opinions they both react with edgy humor.

Shoe: "Until there's a Democratic Party that isn't prisoner to identity politics or isn't completely cucked by race grievance, I'm not a Democrat. And until there's a Republican Party that actually cares about workers and isn't completely cucked to a certain foreign country, I'm not a Republican."

In my college days the big thing was an ePortfolio on a personal site showing off your big assignments on the web. Or as I ended up calling it, the plagiarism machine. I had two instances of another student stealing my work from the internet and claiming it as her own. Stupidest idea ever.

I once worked at a university that gutted an entire (very popular and useful) learning center and replaced it with two guys who would teach you how to host blogs. every student had to have a blog. Every single one. Our syllabus had to mention blogs. We had to teach WITH blogs.

Things that are better in every way than what they replaced, yet people complain about bc of nostalgia: Buying movie tickets online. Self-checkouts. Fast food ordering through an app. Keyless ignition in vehicles. Wireless earbuds.

JJ@jjdotbiz.bsky.social · 3mo ago

"Why is it absolute hell to buy a movie ticket now?" is a very silly premise to me. Because, simply, it's not lol.

i'm tired of restaurants treating fries and tots as equally valid choices for a side. tots are an iterative improvement over fries by any metric we can measure. fries are a fully outdated technology. if you're still playing the fry meta in 2026 you're already behind the competition

Experts aren't always right. That's why I put my faith in morons who are never right

red pikmin should be rinsed and then soaked in warm water for several hours until soft. you can save the water for braising. yellow pikmin are best used for fast, high heat stir-fries. blue pikmin can be served raw after a quick rinse. purple pikmin should be kept intact to slowly absorb seasoning

The average Republican never thinks about any of this. They're too busy watching "triggered lib" videos, pro cop propaganda, and gun reviews. They believe the Democratic party is the gay woman party and the GOP is the alpha chad party.

Jessica Tarlov@jessicatarlov.bsky.social · 3mo ago

Your average Republican is pro-IVF, skeptical of six week heartbeat bills, against deporting productive, law-abiding immigrants, and for gay marriage.

Hot take: The traditional Mormon marriage rocks because it has no personal vows, limits the attendance to under 50 people, and keeps the ceremony to 15 minutes. Short remarks, relatively short "vow", and short congratulations on the way out. Only thing better is probably eloping at courthouse.

Kristi Yamaguccimane@wapplehouse.bsky.social · 4mo ago

Taylor and Travis’ wedding vows were supposedly 20 minutes each and as a wedding officiant that’s done hundreds and hundreds of weddings I don’t think you’re realizing how fucking long that is in wedding ceremony time.

He's actually describing why it's a racket, but putting the benefit on the wrong party. Insurance companies love this broken system.

Dr Oz on ACA "fraud" -- "Of the people who signed up, 40% never use the insurance. Let me ask you, John, you have health insurance -- do you use it once a year? In Obamacare right now 40% of the people ostensibly signed up never use the insurance ... we have a lot of fake people on the policies"

they should try having a cuisine that's anything other than (admittedly excellent) pastries, elaborate bird tortures, and "meh, add more butter and it'll be fine"

Genuinely funny seeing the Euros get so mad at this. Of course Europe has good food, but the lack of Mexican/Latin food is depressing over there. If you think Pace is a sorry excuse for salsa try any of their hilarious attempts.

The hand is labour. Elmo is capital.

Yes. The pattern is that when the real Trump starts to falter or do something that would result in lowering his popularity, they substitute a fake, imaginary Trump into their news stories who is acting rationally and normally, inventing rationales for his actions that he himself won't articulate

Chad Farrenburg@chadfarrenburg.bsky.social · 5mo ago

The media shields the average American from what Trump actually says, though.

To MAGA, masculinity only means the toxic and evil parts: exploitation, pissing contests, and general assholery. They care nothing about honest hard work, chivalry, providing for a family, liking women, or protecting the vulnerable.

Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò@olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social · 5mo ago

the most surreal thing about this era of open yelling about masculinity is that, if you grew up anything like I did, you were exposed to several sets of standards of masculinity and would be hard pressed to identify which of them the Paxtons and Millers of the world are living up to

"Talarico is a vegan." "Paxton pardoned a pedophile." "Uh, well, Talarico says God is nonbinary or something?" "Paxton pardoned a pedophile." "Um, Talarico is, uh, low T?" "Paxton pardoned a pedophile." "Talarico is going to institute sharia law!" "Paxton pardoned a pedophile."

Ferguson: "Just this weekend, I was shopping at a big home improvement store to buy a drill. I had to hit a call button and wait 15 minutes for an associate to unlock a padlock.
