A more well-adjusted person than ever before
I’m glad the guy who sat next to me on a 12 hour midnight bus ride to Wilkes Barre and talked over my headphones while I pretended to sleep got a job
Ben Collins@bencollins.bsky.social · yesterdayOh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.
There aren’t a lot of artists that I would predict giving me the star-struck feeling but I’m pretty sure Chelsea Wolfe would scare the daylights out of me youtu.be/HHTn0kohjKI?...

The Dems could put up a thousand Joe Manchins and the GOP would tell everyone they are under the thumb of an Islamist Khmer Rouge that’s putting The Gay in geoengineered Gay Storms that make babies gay, at least the babies that are allowed to be born under the White Erasure protocol and so on and s-
The Bulwark@thebulwark.com · 2w agoThe vibes may be exciting, but if Democrats are going to win this year and in 2028, they must reject the DSA. If you’re tempted by a democratic socialist this year, think of what use Republicans will make of these victories, and ask whether you want to do favors for fascists.
Haven’t seen this old nugget in years and I gotta say, two separate weeklong destination vacations for a family of four costing 9000 dollars has me waxing nostalgic
brasidas@brasidas.bsky.social · 2w agoIncome - Taxes - Expenditures - Savings = 0 someone who is good at the economy please help me budget this. my family is dying
This is less about having a weird complex about children and more about having too much idle mental energy. Notice what other people do less and be happy.
Trump's Blood Clot@melvin-nodd.bsky.social · 3w agoI've never understood the urge to bring infants/children/the entire extended family to the grocery. We never did that, it's obnoxious & slows everything down for everyone. One person, in and out. That's all you need. If you cannot find one person in your life to be with your children for an hour...
Somewhere there is a big slider dial where you turn down one kind of job and turn up the other exclusively at the expense of the other. Just, jobs. Generically speaking, no other factors included.

My nine year old left the computer unlocked. I’m winning.
There really are people walking around among us who fart on dance floors.
A hundred *feet* is effectively right next to an animal that can run 40 miles an hour
Laurasaurus@laurasaurus.bsky.social · 4w agoEveryone is making fun of this poor man in the QTs and replies, but the article says he wasn’t doing anything wrong! He was in a place people are allowed to be in, over 100 feet away from the bison. Just unlucky.
I would bet that Platner ends up with some kind of Tucker-adjacent media deal after all this
One of the hundred lessons of Graham Platner is, if you come across a truly reformed shitbag who wants to redeem their story, you could offer them activism/service or you could offer them power. What they pick is important to pay attention to.
If you’re going to borrow the stupid and embarrassing monicker used by Heritage Foundation mutants, every single point should involve heavy weapons and prison ships.
alpha @omarsbigsister.bsky.social · last mo.Dems' "Project 2029" first major policy proposal: an online child safety plan — narrowing Sec. 230, banning social media for kids under 16, promoting phone-free childhoods and more. Already backed by Cory Booker, Mikie Sherrill, Randi Weingarten + Jonathan Haidt. LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
There’s something about the dichotomy of the America 250 party looking like a middle school science fair and World Cup visitors being like “Americans are surprisingly kind and cool and you have a lot going for you as a country” that’s driving me nuts
British people talking about Mexican food is sort of like Americans talking about motorsports. This is the most charitable way I can comment.
James Austin@jamesdaustin.bsky.social · last mo.Everyone knows that Mexican food is really a mid-level cuisine isn't actually that good, but big Taco rewards enough influencers well enough to false conciousness people into claiming they like it.
It's fun seeing the middle aged hardcore kids making pretty songs www.youtube.com/watch?v=hK5F...

I think Vance knows he’s on a plane going the wrong way and he’s going to keep his eyes wide open the whole way down
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2mo agoDOUTHAT: Let's be honest -- the tone of the administration is not consistently a Christian tone. There is a tone of aggressive uncharity JD VANCE: Tonal arguments are ways of, frankly, policing working class ways of communication, and covering them in elite preferences
Bombing to Lose: Origins and Impacts of the Hegseth Doctrine
“lie and say we have a peace deal so people will watch my UFC party” feels bad
This whole conversation has confounded me for years because it seems to have put “how to be a good man” as prior or instead of “how to be a good person.” We more or less have how to be a good person figured out. Make that the primary thing and the peculiarities of being a man sort themselves out!
Lindsay Beyerstein@beyerstein.bsky.social · 2mo agoThe positive vision of masculinity is just the positive traits from those traditionally coded as masculine (this is a shifting list, so you can pick your eras), plus whatever facial hair, flannel, and hobbies you think are macho.
Counterpoint: They are grooming teenage boys. Maybe not on an individual level, Asmongold deeply-troubled hoarder who can't physically take care of himself. But "Thinking girls are pretty is gay. Now hop into my private discord to learn how to be a MAN" is an... odd thing to say to CHILDREN
Gareth Watkins@garethwatkins.bsky.social · 2mo agoI'm going to need everyone to stop being such a mark for stuff like this. They have learned through years of feedback that this gets them clicks. It's an engagement strategy as contrived as anything a social media marketing agency could put together for a SaaS startup.
"Interesting" is several rungs up the ladder that right wing artists are at the absolute bottom of. If they start making anything that isn't deeply embarrassing on all counts then we can talk about interesting. Look at this idiot! This sucks!
Jared Holt@jaredlholt.bsky.social · 2mo agoThe problem is that “I am often scared and angry about social change” does not inherently lend itself to interesting art. You can be as technically skilled as the greats, but art with nothing interesting to say is just a commodity.
