I got into this HVAC game for the action.
I routinely meet 16 year old chihuahuas now. This is truly the greatest time to be alive so far.
BeijingPalmer@beijingpalmer.bsky.social · 15h agothe whole 'nothing has gotten better' discourse is of course fucking stupid in a million ways, but I just wanted to note that average dog lifespan in the United States has increased by two years since 2000.
Wild to remember when Sawant had an actual important elected job *for 10 years*
The Loar Axe@theloaraxe.bsky.social · 13h agoSawant running on an evergreen campaign platform of "worst roommate in the Gen X punk house, but now it's the mayor's problem."
Tried to make the System of a Down "oooh Wah Ah Ah Ah" noise and discovered: 1) I can't make that noise 2) i CAN make a solid B+ turkey call
Kids these days don't know about Supertramp. Aren't having formative experiences finding an old LP of Breakfast in America, getting really into it, then being ridiculed by their peers. Culture in decline.
I don't even know what to say. This is real, this is true, so, like, thank you all, from the bottom of my heart. This took over 25 years to happen so if there's any lesson here it's either "keep at it, who knows" or "many people are divorced"
they should really have a 'stuff your body just Does sometimes' element of health class
People are trying to Will Stancilize Ken Jenn— I bolt awake, it's 1937. I'm a cafeteria worker at Bell Labs holding a ham-carving knife, and Claude Shannon is coming down the line with his tray. The future must not come to pass.
Best dressed man at the Farmer's Market today is wearing a hot pink shirt that says "COPS KILL DOGS" while intently inspecting stonefruit.
War now only occurs when the markets are closed is actually very cyberpunk

Matthew Downhour @matthewdownhour.bsky.social · 5d agoI like this brainstorm: greatest achievements since 1969. Number one for me: eradicating smallpox What else?
Most rural areas have a ruling class. And they want cheap unfree workers & to pass their fiefdoms on tax-free forever. It ain't rocket science. The fact that we're scared to talk about THAT, ime, is what's costing us a lot of rural voters!
Cheap hardcovers that bind with glue but have fake fabric backing to appear like they're sewn instead.

“since then I haven’t been in any accidents, or any accidents that were my fault” directly after “they keep bringing up that fatal accident I was in” is like a parody
Ned Resnikoff@resnikoff.bsky.social · 6d agoNot only does this guy refer to his own act of manslaughter as "MY trauma," he also calls it "the fatal accident I was in" as if a court did not find him legally liable for it. www.instagram.com/p/DbZgUOsC8_1/
And the runner up is Nick Cave playing Nick Cave in the same film.

This is the perfect LinkedIn post: "7 things killing a cyclist with my car taught me about falling back in love with driving."
Sam@samd.bsky.social · 6d agothis guy (doomloop dispatch) literally killed a biker with his car… and he’s posting on twitter how it just made him even more anti-bike lane. The NIMBYs are not OK.
I mean man it is hard to convey how scorned furries were on the early Internet. Bottom rung socially. And yet they kept on yiffing, until at last they will soon be the only representatives of humanity capable of speaking the language of God, while we stare in the window as rain pours over us. Woof.

DHS must immediately return Eduardo Aguirre home to Washington state. These cruel tactics to speed up deportations and remove due process must stop. Disband ICE.
This stolen money needs to be returned to blue states by the next administration with interest.
Murshed Zaheed@murshedz.bsky.social · 7d ago“Trump has rejected disaster aid for Democratic-run states at the highest rate in the 47-year history of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.” Right now people in blue states are basically paying federal taxes as if they’re colonized territories of red states. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

This was my exact experience re-reading Confederacy of Dunces last year. Me in 2007: haha this guy, what a weirdo, so many absurd hijinx Me in 2025: oh no, a book about the same type of guy who ruins everything else around me, and now he's ruining reading too
Dara Lind@daralind.bsky.social · 7d agobsky.app/profile/dara... like, maybe Ignatius P. Reilly was a more compelling character before the most influential public intellectuals in America and half of all mass shooters started sounding like him?
