What strikes me as I listen to this today, is that this family very much reflects the "great" MAGA is trying to get back to. Perfect family breakfast, bridge and martinis in the afternoon, the "children's hour," a cigar for dad... absolutely burning the world for that ideal.

Today, August 4, 2026, is the setting of Ray Bradbury’s short story “There Will Come Soft Rains” about a fully automated house continuing on after the family who lived there and the world around it died in a nuclear blast.

building a world where the worth of a person is based on what they do (and maybe more importantly, the harms they don't choose to do to others) cannot rely on how much money people currently control or we're just going to build an echo of the current world

The implication that we need nice rich cis celebrities to stand up for our rights is essentially the same as saying that we’ve lost. We claim them for ourselves or we perish.

A white supremacist superpower has been ruthlessly and sadistically oppressing a nearby developing island nation – that’s never committed an offense against it – for decades. For absolutely no rational, justifiable reason whatsoever.

Most of the land in most farm counties is owned by 1-5 families. They run the place like their own personal kingdoms. There is SO much resentment and straight-up fury about this in rural areas. The fact that no political party's even really trying to speak to it is wild.

so many people seem very "there but for the grace of girlfriend go I"

the question everyone is asking today: will criterion be the ones to finally bring back fly me to the moon??

When straight, cis people say "don't shove your lifestyle down my throat" what they mean is "pretend you too are cis and straight around me and don't exist in public."

it’s all fun and games till you get caught fucking in the mouth of a taxidermied blue whale

If the bridge helps transport transphobia then it deserves to be burnt to the ground.

Rather than try to match human intelligence, or surpass it, it looks to bring human intelligence as low as possible, to lower the bar totally enough for an elaborate autocomplete to hop over it

burning books, burning billions, burning the internet, burning the environment, burning brains: total destruction of past, present and future. emperors demanding we be buried alive with them.

Burning books in order to better burn the environment, total civilizational death drive

people wonder why so many cave divers die and even though it is a dangerous hobby the real reason is that caves have gotten a taste for human flesh

Date: What do you do? Me: I'm a kleptozoologist Date: Isn't it cryptozoologist? Me, stuffing my pockets with lobsters from the tank: that's a common misconception

Interesting that, of the two arguably most prominent political figures of our days, one seems to want to recreate the New Deal and the other seems to want to recreate the Third Reich.

hey is it bad that "IMPACTS FROM WILDFIRES IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST, IMPACTS FROM A POWER OUTAGE IN NORTH CAROLINA, AND IMPACTS FROM A TROPICAL STORM IN THE GULF REGION OF THE U.S. MAY DELAY FINAL DELIVERY OF YOUR MAIL AND PACKAGES" seems normal these days? about.usps.com/newsroom/ser...

"It'll happen to you!" abe simpson, thirty years ago

have i spent 90%+ of my life using most of my energy struggling against whoever i am in an attempt to keep from appearing completely mad while subconsciously knowing what i am is a thing that many people would destroy for a variety of reasons rather than allowing it to exist in their perfect worlds?

I cannot scream this loudly enough. Art, especially trans art, is transformative and gives us the vision to create a culture and a future worth living in. No revolution without joy is a revolution I want anything to do with.

The good thing about our incredibly rancid culture war is that you can and should fight back (in part) by celebrating culture that you love. Especially culture that centers and uplifts marginalized people and rejects the miserable, joyless attitude that's at the heart of so much of our politics.

Too many people believe being a good person means simply means not being a bad person

A perfect stroke of Bluesky discourse, cleaving the left from the “left.” If your politics are giving a shit about people, you get the joke. If your politics are what you have all figured out in your superior galaxy brain, it’s basically Hitler.

Watch out artists, insta is now auto adding wrong labels to your art. Doesn't seem to be a way to get them to remove it. Just for the record, my work is 100% human idiot made, always has been, always will be. #art

Christ, this sucks. I went to check on mine and they've added the same to my artwork. Never used ai, never will.
