just getting out in front of something: 150mg of weed is absolutely doable, once. on a weekend. when you don’t have any other plans. anybody purchasing a package of multiple 150mg gummies-particularly when the package’s suggested serving is 1-2 PER DAY-should be kept away from polite society
Hi, I’m Will Stancil. I hear there’s a small group of people on Bluesky who don’t yet hate me so, you know what time it is. Time to belittle Terry Pratchett.
Alien ant farm are a much better live band than they need to be or than you think they are
I mean I’m sorry but I do not believe Rod Liddle did any damage to “the institutional left”
Bluesky is a "liberal bubble" because fascist chuds can't get traction without algorithmic assistance and because people here trained themselves to block "debate me" trybois the instant they roll up
Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."

Nigel Farage just took a question from a 'journalist' at his press conference, who turned out to be his former chief adviser Raheem Kassam, who asks him why the media are being so unfair to him
I think my most genuinely unpopular take is that a widely held and genuine consumer preference for cheaper, lower-quality goods, not private equity, is driving the decline in quality of consumer goods like clothing and housewares.
in a way marvel movies do a good job of showing why certain PEDs are banned in professional sports
This might sound elitist, but I don’t think the people liking the Peanuts slop posts should have rights
Um. I loudly and performatively hated The Strokes during the period in which they put out their best albums.
Hot takes are annoying, tell me a strong opinion you had about music at some point in your life that changed
Imagine going on a date with someone and they brought up Anthony Fauci lmao

“can we fuck (in) it” truly the driving force of human nature
The only taxidermied blue whale in the world, 1865 CE, now housed at the Natural History Museum in Sweden. The public was allowed to enter the whale up until a couple was found having sex inside it. Now the whale’s jaws are opened only for special occasions, such as Swedish election days.
this is a reply to me saying somebody shouldn’t be antisemitic
“You have to shoot really fast, and the faster you go, the more you compromise quality” - wow, I can't wait!!!

One of my Crank Theories of Everything, at least of Everything in the Recent Past, is that we are dealing (badly) with COVID trauma we’d mostly prefer to pretend never happened.
The stuff about the wings absolutely kills me but the craziest thing about the Wendy’s bit is the underlying assumption that he could have picked any Wendy’s and it woulld have gone the same way www.instagram.com/reel/DbGREEE...

The morally correct response to “It’s antisemitic to call Netanyahu a war criminal” is “No it isn’t; that’s not true.” But some people are going to say, “Fine, I guess antisemitism has some explanatory power over the world after all.” And people who do this have to know that.
It’s embarrassing that the rabbi of Central Synagogue - one of the most prominent Reform rabbis in the US - is portraying Mamdani’s accurate description of Netanyahu as a war criminal as a sign of antisemitism. This is part of why young people take antisemitism less seriously than they should.
