30 Rock really is the GOAT TV comedy. Always Sunny comes close at times, but they were really cooking with this one.

The voters who swore a fatwa against society because they couldn't harass the Applebee's waitress are about to learn what real suffering is. Shame the rest of us need to go along for the ride.
Ah well, nevertheless
Senators chummy deference to each other can be enraging
I can believe it, my dad loved that show. Saw every episode and laughed hysterically during every one.
Can't wait!

Shout out to the QAA podcast for turning me on to her, any many other cranks, who inevitably seem to wield undue power and influence. Thankfully she seems to not be another example of that.
After two hours of review and rereading notes, I have successfully made progress.
I just finished my first lecture of grad school and whoof, nine pages of notes and a lot of undergrad topics I should review.
The fact that she was there with the late Paul Farmer and PIH speaks to me very highly of her actual commitmemt to do good
never giving the gravy chicken pizza a test run in the states is criminal. like ferrari building a state of the art engine and refusing to even try it out in a monster truck
It's ironic, Trump clearly wants to be a dictator, but he's unable to do anything to achieve that end besides over the top shows of force which probably undermine him more than help him.
I have a solution to everyone being mad at each other about the hated UK/US food discourse part infinity: y'all ever heard of French Tacos? This is what they call a taco. They're everywhere. And I need to drop some knowledge on you: …they're also good
Nothing like a later lunch on Labor Day after spending the morning cleaning the house with the wife
Say what you will about Bezos, he knows how to undercut competition to corner a market
Personally, I had a lovely bbq with the family yesterday.
I care for neither, "BlueSky is dying" nor, "British food bad" discourse. Tell me about your Labor Day weekend plans, already done something with family or friends, or is it coming later today?
Much like "crab", industrial music is constantly re-evolving from first principles basically anywhere where there's a bunch of metal and plastic laying about
Nothing quite like thinking about gender on a Sunday morning
I definitely agree, I just wonder if the binary notions of both can be shifted from the two circle model to a ven diagram model where there can be those overlapping ideals or if the model has to be thrown out with something new taking its place.
I also suspect most notions of maturity run counter to those "feminine" traits so the double negation connects maturity to masculinity, which is where someone might feel the need to fight back against that notion. There are a lot of assumptions underpinning this so I am very open to being wrong.
I think this is part of where the masculinity/maturity conflating comes from. If the masculine ideal contains notions of leadership and assertiveness, which I suspect it does for most, then feminity in contrast contains ideals of submissiveness and deference.
Very true, but I'm a bit of a masculinity/feminity abolitionist because I don't see why some positive traits should be relegated to one gender or another when ideally everyone would embody them, nor should there be these two baskets of traits that are at least implicitly pitted against each other.
I think there's something to the notion of masculinity being orthogonal to maturity, that it's possible to have one and not the other, but due to patriarchy they commonly get conflated
Gotta rise the stalks, grind the grain, and bake the bread
Good for the rest of the world
This is probably going to catch me some flak, but school shootings are quite rare occurrences and we shouldn't let the fear of them completely dictate what schools should or shouldn't do. If you want to stop them either ban guns (good luck with that) or turn schools into literal prisons.
We must return to the era of desktop centered computation
I'm not denying his talent as a writer, I love his work, but every time I hear him sing his voice is jarring next to the talent of the rest of the ensemble. I found this in the original cast recordings of both Hamilton and In the Heights.
Arthropods are a cruel practical joke played on biologists
No one wants to admit that the film further proved that the weakest part of any Lin-Manuel Miranda production is any performance by Lin-Manuel Miranda
They say America sucks due to all the reasons it's somewhat redeemable. If you're going to be a hater, do it right!
I've been offline basically all day, so did Trump die or what?
In a bit of BlueSky magic, my Discover tab had a post with a link to the SoundCloud of an old middle school friend who I haven't spoken to in years. What a fun little treat.
I picked up the book from the library due to this post and man, it delivers. I'm still early on, but the descriptions of white Southern notions of honor and racial anxiety could be taken from today. It goes to show how much of America today still exists in the long shadow of slavery.
Saying thank you to the two cigars I've had in my life
"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.
They probably consider the reasons they cut off people i.e. not being cishet, to not be, "political", but more akin to cutting off someone who's severely mentally ill
I feel bad for the median voter, they've been intellectually failed at so many moments. School, their parents, even their peers, just spreading incorrect or incomplete information back and forth. It's like an engine whose intake is attached to the exhaust, getting worse with every cycle.
It’s kinda wild that Harvard has those billion dollar endowments but the most consistent level of excellence it has gotten out of graduates has been comedy writers for Futurama
If there's one thing medieval history can teach us, it's that there's always more disposable sons to cause an international incident
I finished reading, "Here Comes the Sun" by @billmckibben.bsky.social yesterday and I cannot recommend it highly enough. A wonderfully deep yet accessible dive into the present of solar energy that left me hopeful about the future and our ability to combat climate change.
turkish deep state agent: go to the parking garage at 11:30 and Hakan will meet you with the briefcase eric adams: thanks. say…did you know the “hip” in “hip hop” stands for “homework is power?” turkish agent: you say this every time

Uber should unban her account, see if that gets her off making policy
He probably could still do all of that if it weren't for the tariffs. The people would be more willing to accept it all if the economy was still humming along.
You're living through a major technological revolution right now and it has nothing to do with AI. The United States is in danger of missing it and getting left behind because our corrupt President wants us to be buyers-of-last-resort for fossil fuels owned by his paymasters in KSA and Russia.
Local papers weren't sustained on engaged readers, it was classified ads in the back. Craigslist might have turned out to be the most corrosive force to democracy we had in this country.
Spaceballs is my favorite Mel Brooks film, and only part of the reason is that I wrote my final paper for, "History and Development of Jewish Humor" in college on it and got an A
lmao
You want another Battle of Blair Mountain, because this is how you get another Battle of Blair Mountain
From gamergate to Qanon, 4chan's place in history is secured, m00t must be so proud of himself
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't a large proportion of the declining birth rate the severe reduction in teen pregnancies?
I too have this problem and the best solution I've found is to have the same thing for as many meals as possible so I don't need to make the decision of what to eat as often.
I envy their ability to unironically enjoy such potent cringe
Mine probably runs through Bernie Sanders
wild at the "Bell Riots" was the astoundingly incredibly naïvely optimistic version of the US and the 2020s would respond to the unhoused
Walkability, but also the fact that there are strangers everywhere I walk. There's something about being a minor part of someone's day while they're a minor part of yours as well. It's a constant reminder of the sheer mass and diversity that humanity has to offer.
Being a DOJ employee makes you a lawyer by proxy, like how owning navy short shorts makes you a mailman by proxy
I sadly doubt The Onion could afford him at this point in his career
At least they're not using the Q&A time to work out a professional grievance that maybe two other people in attendance know or care about
Absolutely laughing at, "The larger flat Earth community has largely rejected the results and accused the participants, including the flat Earthers, of having faked the expedition and of being part of a larger conspiracy to promote the spherical Earth model."
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fin... oh my god some pastor wanted to prove flat earthers wrong so he took them to Antarctica and got them to admit that their model was wrong using first-hand evidence lmfao
I got a flu booster today and it made me reflect on the sense of national accomplishment I felt when I drove to a public facility, waited in my car until my number was called on an app, and got my first covid jab. It's fucked the right gets to erase what a moment of technological liberation that was
Bluesky is dying cause not enough people are sharing one of the best videos ever made.
Every song is an absolute banger, and yet
Today's one of those days where I contemplate how the Spongebob Squarepants Musical was robbed at the Tony Awards
From your lips to Satan's ears
Every day, orange man finds a new way to be bad
"Bluesky is dying" Oh yeah? Then explain why this GIF always does numbers.
Give us a Eugenics War show following a rag tag group of unaugmented humans fighting against the augmented powers that be
Getting real, "vision of your long deceased family in heaven you see when you die" vibes
Further proof that the connections between Italian Americans and Jewish Americans runs deep
He did see Homelander and thought, "I wanna be like him"
I can understand Cody flipping because it looks like it's worked in his favor. Punk on the other hand has been turned into a 24/7 shit eater.
The joys of being a business owner
I've given up on asking people if they like to read, universally depressing experience
i said a while ago that "abolish ICE" was gonna be the median Democratic opinion by midterms this is but one survey but it looks like we're already there
Hell yeah
Surely Trump has commented on Evita at some point in his life
did they get tired of hitting on women in the idf on twitter?
4.5 of which will go to Mar-a-Lago members with no experience in the construction industry
Motherfucking wind farms…
Besides Cody, I can't think of anyone who is better off for going to WWE
Unfortunately Corbyn is the only elected official in the UK with agency, everyone else is an NPC and he should have selected better dialogue options
Solution, fingerless gloves
And this is for New York state specifically, correct?
They should develop a more normal delusion and tell people they're secretly dating Taylor Swift

New from 404 Media: a second data breach at Tea has exposed more than a million direct messages between users that we obtained. Discussions of abortions, cheating. The other data was older. This is as recent as *last week*. Hard to overstate how sensitive this data is www.404media.co/a-second-tea...
Ngl, large industrial sites have a certain majesty to me, just thinking about all the human effort and knowledge that went into designing, building, and operating them
"Boo hoo, I hate seeing an assembly of piping that took hundreds of humans many years to design" You fool, you absolute fool
My hot take on the aesthetics of electrical generation is that all forms, including coal power plants, have a beauty to them owing to the effort and genius that all large engineering projects require
When they're right, they're right
With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.
When they had a free weekend I watched the first two seasons of For All Mankind and man, what a show
Israel was a lot more popular when they were in the Nazi hunting business
