To lose one Republican senator may be regarded as a misfortune*. To lose probably at least two but honestly who knows at this point, looks like carelessness. -Oscar Wilde

Cheese. It is made of milk, which is gross, and it has gone bad, which is worse.
Brendel@brendelbored.bsky.social · 2mo agoWhat’s the most widely enjoyed food that you can’t stand, not because of allergies or anything but just because you hate it?
A blockbuster version of that Polish LARP about the inhabitants of a trailer park on the 4th of July.
Erik Hane@erikhane.bsky.social · 2mo agoOkay but What would YOUR totally gratuitous White House lawn event be, if YOU were the mad king of a dying superpower
Happy birthday, you pedophile war criminal piece of shit.
San Francisco Chronicle@sfchronicle.com · 2mo agoOn the eve of President Donald Trump’s highly orchestrated celebrations of his 80th birthday, protesters at S.F.'s Ocean Beach formed a human banner on Saturday, calling for the release of redacted files on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein that reference Trump. 📸: @joshedelsonphotography
I’m going to bed, but I’ll be up at 6am. Do we think they’ll still be building scaffolding?
important note: "you're wrong, dipshit" is not an ad hominem. "you're wrong BECAUSE you're a dipshit" is an ad hominem. as long as you get your facts and logic straight you can still dish out sick burns
CIS PEOPLE TIME TO STEP UP it’s once again time to yell at our bad government via online comment form the FCC is trying to make trans and nonbinary content require special ratings on shows GLAAD has a good writeup on it below TELL ‘EM NO direct link to comment form: www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings...
Tell the FCC that LGBTQ Stories Don’t Need a Warning Label | GLAAD
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is targeting LGBTQ stories. They are trying to control what you see on television. This government overreach is dangerous...

I found a secret hack for getting out of jury duty: just be mentally ill!
Please cite the deep magic to me. My memory is shit and I’ve forgotten most of it.
Louis@louisevans.bsky.social · 4mo agoPlease cite the deep magic to me, witch; I look forward to a productive conversation about the deep magic between a greybeard practitioner (myself) and an important new thinker in the field.
Cheese has, by definition, gone bad and you should not eat it. It’s gross.

It’s fun to pretend. Wring whatever tarnished shreds of bitter joy you can from this hellscape.
Micah@rincewind.run · 4mo agodid It Happen? no, of course not but the periodic weekend “maybe It’s Happening” rumor mill is an important mental health salve, carry on
I’m not saying I believe that It Happened but my morning tarot pull today was the King of Wands, inverted, so if it did Happen, you’re welcome.
Any actual pitch for a serious opposition party against the modern GOP has to go beyond promising to stop Trump and also include taking all of Musk, Thiel, Andreessen, Horowitz, Zuckerberg, and everyone else of their ilk's money, nationalizing anything useful they've made and putting them in a pit.
“Isn’t that the one about the trust fund jock who owns slaves and becomes a cop?”
Evan Urquhart@evanurquhart.bsky.social · 4mo agoI expect the Harry Potter show will be popular, at least for a while, and the extremism of the author will be minimized. If this comes to pass, I suggest practicing these phrases: "No, I haven't heard about it." "Isn't that for, uh, 11 year olds?" "So... you're really still into that? Uh. OK."
The size of the screen must be proportional to the size of the purchase. This is why millennials have such a hard time buying houses.
JP@johnathanperk.bsky.social · 4mo agoSomebody said millennials usually use their laptops (instead of smartphones) for major purchases, including booking flights. I can’t stop thinking about this.

I have a couple of bisexual jokes, but I can’t decide which one I should tell.
The Men Who Stare At Goatse@ohgodscrewthis.bsky.social · 5mo agoI have an autism joke, but it isn't funny because I didn't understand the exact context of the jokes that came before it or the innate rhythms of humor.
I’m increasingly less convinced we ought to have borders of any kind, but as long as we do, yeah, open that shit up, it’s just lines on a map.
Alyssa Long@measuredandslow.bsky.social · 5mo agoPeople keep saying “oh so you want OPEN BORDERS” as some kind of gotcha and like. Yeah. When I was a kid you could just drive into Canada. On accident, even. It was great, and I think we should do that instead of kidnapping children. Normalize being normal instead of being kidnapping weirdos
Today’s protest art is dedicated to the lady sitting next to me at dinner who interrupted my conversation about protest art to tell me she didn’t agree with us and demand we change the subject.
I have always known that my place in my community, my career, and my art is dependent on a cis man of equal or greater rank not deciding he has the right to assault me. I hate this knowledge. But I am not unique in holding it.
When world leaders and billionaires just can’t behave like adults, I remember all the life lessons taught to me by Star Trek: - bigotry is wrong - patience and teamwork can overcome almost any issue - SHOOT ANYONE CLAIMING TO BE GOD IN THE FACE - computers are all the same woman
