Probably a mammal. Definitely a nerd.
Ilhan Omar keeping her seat despite the government trying to FUCKING DEPORT HER the unbelievable level of fascist fuckery they directed her way failed, and hopefully now the Blue Tsunami means there can be consequences for the perpetrators but whew, what it did to my heart to see her win
Taniel@taniel.bsky.social · 5d agowhat is one result that is really resonating with you? or the one moment from tonight that will really stick with you?
“I’ll smoke him by 7. Bet on it.” is going to go down as an all-time political line.
Washington state, what's up. You're one of the places that used to make fun of Texas and Georgia and the Carolinas and here you are, on a night they showed us the way, being a bunch of backwards-ass bigots mandating your daughters have genital inspections to play sports. What's up, WA?
Melody Schreiber@melodyschreiber.com · 5d agoAll girls in Washington will undergo genital inspection or DNA testing to participate in sports
My buddy in Japan has informed me that, since Blue Wave and Tsunami have entirely different cultural contexts, the Japanese press is referring to last night's US Election as the "National Scolding".
To the DNC and Hakeem Jeffries: Justice is vengeance in a cocktail dress. We bought her a few drinks last night. Let 'er dance.
Whenever people ask me about TX Dems, I give the the story about how when armed militia stood outside to intimidate club patrons at a gay club in Dallas, drag queens shows up with assault rifles to stand outside and the fuckers didn't come back. Make bigots scared again. That is Texas.
One big consequence of the midterm blowout by Democrats: John Fetterman went from potential kingmaker if Democrats had won a 51-49 majority to mostly an irrelevant outlier, as the only Democrat backing the (very unpopular) Iran war.
You don't have to sacrifice trans people to win, you dumb fucking assholes.
sort of poetic that twitter republicans hit peak anakin skywalker posting right before dems chopped their legs off and pushed them into a lava flow
I didn’t know about the second part!!!!!
Eric Michael Garcia@ericmgarcia.bsky.social · 5d agoIt was not a major headline, but one of the most important #CripTheVote stories: Virginia passed a constitutional amendment that would restore the right to vote to formerly incarcerated people AND people with disabilities who are under guardianship.
To everyone who has ever said that we should write Texas off, please accept one of the most gleeful "Go fuck yourself"s that I have ever posted in my three decades spent online.
God, how I wish Molly Ivins were alive to see this.
ok sorry i was looking through my star wars shitposts so i could make fun of the dorks who don't understand star wars, BUT it hit me that in this picture @skrishna.bsky.social and I took with Mark Hamill, he's posed like he's David S. Pumpkins and we're skeletons and I am kind of losing it
Also I know it is a particularly stressful week in the US, so here is an emergency lapful of kittens for you to huff.
pleasant old man from New Zealand attempts to find out why fans of a certain extraction shooter keep posting about “Marton”
IS SPHERUS MAGNA A TERRITORY OF THE UNITED STATES AND ARE BIONICLES ALLOWED TO VOTE, the greatest thread in the history of the forum, locked after 716378 pages
Josh Trujillo 🏳️🌈@losthiskeysman.bsky.social · 5d agoI stand with the Bionicle Army and that is why I’m voting today.
Look I know this was intended as a joke but this pitch actually rules
Adam Rogers@jetjocko.bsky.social · last wk.Bertie Wooster lost billions in a crypto hack (and forgot the password to his wallet). Now all she owns is a rundown private detective agency with a secretary who turns out to be weirdly great at solving crimes—the roguish Mr. Jeeves.
thinking about Patrick Stewart and Tim Curry and Dolly Parton and Catherine O’Hara and how many of the tributes shared after they died translate to something like “their art made me feel like I wasn’t alone in the world” it is hard to think of a better way to spend a life than that
Star Trek Online’s Galaxy line up for Sir Patrick Stewart has absolutely ended me this morning 😭
The one thing I've taken from the reaction of deaths of Dolly Parton and Patrick Stewart is how much love there is towards people who represent goodness, and how much meaning they bring to people's lives, shaping the idea of the world they want to live in, giving them ideals to strive for.
R.I.P. to Eric Bauza Out of all the actors who voiced the rabbit, you were the one who came the closest to Mel's original voice. You should've been around for 40 more years to voice him.
