I prefer Mastodon but this is a fine “we have Mastodon at home” I guess.
A core conservative demand is being able to benefit from living in a society without incurring any obligations. A philosophy for infants
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 23h agoNIH Director Jay Bhattacharya: "We shouldn't be keeping kids out of schools because their parents have made different decisions than other parents" (Note that Trump is asleep)
keeping with the tradition of it always being some mediocre bum whose athletic career basically doesn't exist, reminder that Royce White and you have scored the same number of points in the NBA
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoRoyce White on Fox News: "I'm just having a blast in my feminine area. I never thought I was a woman. I've always trusted science and thought I was a man, but after further review, a strong look at my personal preferences, it would appear I am indeed sometimes identifying as a transgender woman"
I am extremely horny a lot of the time but I'm not sure Bluesky either wants or needs to know the details of that
Matt Ufford@mattufford.bsky.social · 3d 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.
SPREAD FAR AND WIDE. Multiple calls lately, looking for scarce books. "The cheapest copy online is $200!" Book prices are artificially inflated now due to AI purchasing 🚨 An INDIE BOOKSHOP can tell you whether the current price is reasonable or whether you should wait for the market to stabilize.
The Malazan comments section might be the only place on earth more gender segregated than Saudi Arabian spas

I think one or two of these cards in a set is fine. However, Universes Beyond sets, other than the very best of them, are nothing BUT cards like this.
Matty@mattyhotdogz.bsky.social · 5d agoOkay here is my problem with this kind of design. It means nothing on its own. It only has ludo-narrative value as a reference to something else. It is empty in and of itself. It forgoes its own story in exchange for a weak icon or index of another story that cannot stand up on its own.

Yes. We do not study the past with a view to feelgood vibes. Sometimes we encounter events and people that do that, but it is not the *purpose* of serious or just basically honest study.

I once got into a Twitter spat with Rod Liddle during which he asked me if I'd ever read anything and I said I'd start with his obituary but I was lying. I will not be reading it, he isn't worth the time.
This is apparently the single oldest non-photo image in my Photos library. My babies are super old now, but @hollyhefner.bsky.social and I used to quote this to each other all the time when they weren't. Thank you @katebeaton.bsky.social
What having French players on your #WNBA roster looks like.
I think it also revealed just how quickly a bunch of otherwise very hard problems can be to solve with global collective action. The fuckin Ganga was running clear water for the only time in my lifetime because for 2 weeks nobody threw garbage in it. The canals in Venice had fish.
Dave Andress@davidandress.bsky.social · last wk.Covid lockdowns demonstrated, in a deeply imperfect way, the possibility of large-scale social solidarity for a higher cause. That is a prime reason why so many powerful people want us to run screaming away from them into the comforting arms of selfish individualist competition.
Do they have any good flavors of bleach or do they all taste the same
You had to be an actual $3.1 millionaire to live like this forty years ago.
thinking about how ppl quit bosses but also the reverse- I know ppl who will not switch jobs because they love the person they report to so much plus in the current employment market a manager who won't throw you under the bus and stands up for you in the workplace is worth more than a salary hike
there is no reason to self police language around jk rowling. she commits atrocities on a level that even history's greatest monsters could not fathom achieving. if you acknowledge this, she'll go after you. if you stay silent on this, eventually she'll go after you. so just say it out loud.

even taking it as a good faith exercise it just feels like silly semantics because ok so what if it is just a social construct, so is race and you still gotta fill out that line on every form in this country and the current govt is obsessed with it as the determinant of all policy
Scott Bryan@scottygb.bsky.social · 2w agoChannel 4 has announced documentary “The Great ADHD Myth?” It “seeks to determine whether ADHD is a genuine neurodevelopmental disorder, or a social construct.”
Back in 2020, as a pediatric hematologist married to a physician, we signed up to volunteer in a field hospital for patients with COVID. We wrote our wills and worried about getting our kids sick. I posted about terrifying outcomes in kids and received death threats. Fauci is a goddamn hero.
I'm sad to report that this is absolutely flames

There are only three possible futures: a) everyone in the Trump admin goes to jail, rule of law partially restored; b) Dems retaliate in full, and maybe that's a deterrent; c) neither (a) nor (b), so lawless authoritarianism wins again, and when Republicans regain power they ramp it up even more.
Murshed Zaheed@murshedz.bsky.social · 2w ago“Trump has rejected disaster aid for Democratic-run states at the highest rate in the 47-year history of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.” Right now people in blue states are basically paying federal taxes as if they’re colonized territories of red states. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...
Everyone. Everyone didn't have that friend. You included, senator.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2w agoSen. Roger Marshall: "Who didn't have a friend who took this vaccine and had some time of complication? A stroke, a blood clot, a young man getting some type of heart inflammation. That's what destroyed the trust in the American people for our government."
