Eating raw cookie dough cuz it’s not even in the top ten of foods that could currently make me sick.
Eminently reasonable. Haters hate to see it.

If that’s 2 states, I’m for it. If it’s 1 state, I’m for that. If it’s this 'land for all' model, ... or whatever they decide." www.newyorker.com/news/the-new...
I grew up in a pretty Jewish area and haven’t faced much antisemitic harassment in my life, but one when I was 14 I attended a statewide math & science camp & when a friend there found out I was Jewish she GENUINELY asked if I had horns & a tail. So…
Kyle Clark@kylec.bsky.social · yesterdayDepicting Jewish people with horns is a centuries-old, dehumanizing, antisemitic trope. Democratic Gov nominee Phil Weiser is outspoken about his mother’s birth in a Nazi concentration camp, his family members killed in the Holocaust, and the threat posed by antisemitism today.

The one I can’t get over is it replacing COMMON words that FIT in the context with homophones of names from my address book (generally of people I haven’t spoken to in YEARS). No I did not mean the last name of a student I taught almost a decade ago, but good try!
John E Warren 🤠🐝♿️@floppyadult.com · yesterdayiPhone just autocorrected a perfectly spelled “how are you feeling today” to “how are you geeking today” in case you want a fresh example of how bad technology is getting.
As a writer I try to remember that the fact that something annoys me personally does not necessarily make that thing important enough to write about
First row balcony at the hockey game beats almost every loge seat.
Elizabeth Picciuto@epicciuto.bsky.social · 2d agoWhat is your favorite example of when the cheap version of a product is legit better than the expensive one?
Imagine thinking a person would risk alienation from friends & family, social & work repercussions, buy a whole new wardrobe, get surgery, change their whole fucking identity FOREVER just to…MAYBE play a women’s sport professionally? If you think people do this YOU are the one w/a grifter mindset.
I’ve been writing a counter narrative of shutdowns that has me revisiting media from that time. And let me tell you, the only other option was everybody die. So yeah.
Peter@notalawyer.bsky.social · 3d agoit’s pretty obvious that a lot of people remember that COVID lockdowns were unpleasant and from there just extrapolate that they were therefore bad policy
I am BEGGING people who care about Palestinian liberation to guard themselves against age-old antisemitic conspiracy theories dressed up as “political savvy.” The euphoria you feel believing these things is that of the conspiracy theorist, not of the righteous.
Joel S.@joelhs.bsky.social · 2d agoA shocking number of people believe, with zero evidence, that Israel is behind Moroccan migrants into Spain, which is just the Great Replacement conspiracy. Meanwhile, US Jewish orgs have declared war on Mamdani for accurately describing Netanyahu as a war criminal. www.haaretz.com/world-news/e...
What other movies can stack up to the murderer’s row that is the cast of John Patrick Shanley’s Doubt? Not just no duds, but all of them absolute pantheon-level, generational talents.
This is why I hate it when hotel tvs allow you to log into apps. NO! I will watch the second half of Goonies and the first half of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade while I fall asleep as god intended.
Brendel@brendelbored.bsky.social · 3d agoIt’s hard to explain but tv was better when you couldn’t watch the show you wanted whenever you wanted to watch it and most of the shows were worse and the TVs were worse and the entire experience was worse, that’s when it was better
If you don’t have at least one friend or family member experiencing the very stark & devastating effects of long covid (or who was taken by it altogether) consider yourself one of the lucky ones and shut the fuck up.
Elana Levin@levin.bsky.social · 3d agoLove to have a rando on here basically demanding to see my medical bloodwork results because they can’t believe that long covid is real. This is a proported leftist. There really is a problem and right wing people arent the only ones who are in denial. Have those conversations with people.

It gives the same energy as all the white people who came out to protest a weed store opening in our town with the argument that it was “too close to a soup kitchen”. Yeah I’m sure you’re REAL worried about unhoused people getting into a weed shop w/a security guard & buying $40 prerolls.
Kashana@kashana.blacksky.app · 3d agoLockdown people are so funny. They pull out their hair at the fact that schools were closed for five minutes, and then you ask them if they actually want to educate poor and minority children and they’re like of course not

Does Chaya Raichik maintain the same influence she did several years ago? Has she done something funny like succumb to AI psychosis or had any of her children go no contact? I truly wish only the worst for her. 
ALL I ask is that people who reject Universal Basic Income out of hand because “People need to work” interrogate WHY they believe this instead of assuming it as a starting point.
Damn, just remembered how I used to wear two bras for my improv shows in college because people would make fun of me for my nipples being visible on stage. Being a woman is so chill, man.
The term “heritage American” should feel so unsavory coming off your tongue as an American that you immediately reject the nomenclature out of hand.
Alexander Clarkson@aphclarkson.bsky.social · 4d agoAnother datapoint for the fascist radicalisation of institutional pillars of much of the American Right
As a hot adhd girlie married to a short-king-walking-green-flag-certified-wife-guy I can confirm that Zendaya and Tom Holland’s situation IS as fun as it looks.
The number of people who fully lost their minds during COVID and never recovered is staggering. We should actually count it along with the actual casualties in the toll of the pandemic.

Just thinking about, simply from a marketing and publicity perspective, all the fun videos come out after the Odyssey release of people who worked on it describing or showing how all the practical effects were done, and how an AI film would have NONE of that bump.
Chicago teen shares his experience in ICE detention centers: I am 18 years old and I just graduated from high school in Chicago. I was in ICE detention for 2 months and 10 days. They kept me in solitary for 2 days for no reason, alone in a room with just a toilet. They never let us go outside.
My crankiest middle-aged lady opinion is that “Classic Rock” is a static category of music that means “rock and roll from the late 60’s through the 70s”, not some moving target that’s just “whatever your parents listened to.”
