This fucking cat. He just walked into this PERFECT lighting the other day.

This fucking cat. He just walked into this PERFECT lighting the other day.
Take a break with some cats.
This is the line that Dems need to push. It can't be simply. "Political violence is bad" it MUST be "Political violence is bad and Trump and his ilk are responsible for creating conditions ripe for political violence"
Once again thinking about Macaulay Culkin walking into the Parisian café where the wifi password was “Macaulay Culkin” and the owner saying “I knew you’d come here someday”
i don't know what the source of this video is but I love it
ME CALLING FOR POLITICAL VIOLENCE TO SMITE MY ENEMIES: Haha, fuck yeah! Yes!! ME BEING TAGGED AS "UNIDENTIFIED SKULL #28" IN AN UNEARTHED MASS GRAVE A DECADE LATER: Well, this fucking sucks. What the fuck.
Hell yeah! That's one mean green mother from outer space!

Trapping young people in small towns is actually a policy pipe dream of the rural MAGAs, too, just from the opposite direction. It's a lot harder to keep your kid closeted if they can just run off to California.
I guess this has probably already gone viral somewhere but I am simply dying at this picture of a bear that looks like it hired a photographer to do a glamour shoot
What an expertly called shot
A National Guard report accidentally emailed to the Post says veterans and active-duty troops view the D.C. deployment with "shame and alarm" @alexhorton.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
Certainly looks like we scared the President away from Chicago. Fighting like hell works.
To expand on this, I think this is actually a defining moment in the first Bloodlines - it makes sense, mechanically, to give you a humanity point for getting lost in a crowd and feeling human, but it is also the game communicating how to enjoy it best: get immersed, sink into the ambience.
so much is bad right now but the AI stuff in particular is making me insane. a desperate attempt to smother all human creative labor at an absurd cost to the planet by some of the most short-sighted, rapacious, and pathetic people who have ever lived
The Home Depot skeletons have unionized and they're fighting for better bonefits
There's a small genre of song that's like "song created for a movie that is supposed to be a hit song within the fictional world of the movie." Have any been actual good-enough-to-be-hits besides "Golden" and "I Am A Man of Constant Sorrow?"
History rhymes, and we can learn from the cadence.
Gregory Bovino posting on X earlier about raids already happening in Los Angeles after the Supreme Court ruling dropped. "We are going hard in Los Angeles today and are hitting a location as I write this."
i can't deal w criticism of "peformative reading" when this is how so many people are spending their time
Alright, so I've been afraid to say this out loud, but I think after today, I can say it: In the first Battle of Los Angeles, the good people of LA County have prevailed. We beat ICE back. 1/
No raffle wins for me this time (didn't win the powerball either!) but I did buy some little things from the vendors. Most importantly a distressed labubu keychain because no one is immune to propaganda.
Went to a fun Utopia vs Dystopia Party last night. I, of course, prepped Utopia in my Starfleet uniform. It was a great time with good music and fun performances!
And it tastes really good! Definitely the best n/a beer from a worldwide brewery I've had.
Breaking my Shabbat media pause to bring you good tidings for The Jews: this bitch finally handed over the painting, they’ve also recovered possibly dozens of other pieces that may have also been in Goudstikker’s collection in nearby relatives homes. Good shabbos!
Look obviously it sucks, everything he does sucks, but Trump's dedication to 1987 Wedding Food is one of his only sincerely held beliefs. I am putting a bounty on a photo of the fucked up pasta primavera they're serving. You know there's shredded carrot in that thing.
OK, @bebeneuwirth.bsky.social, this is perfect…
Dismayed by the "I loathe Gl**ner but his arrest should scare us all" takes. The bar for arrest over a social media post *should be extremely high*, but a guy who's harassed trans people 19 hours a day for 8 years, telling his 600k fans to attack any trans women they see, clears that bar v easily?
as I've mentioned before, Washington DC policymaking is an oral culture that believes itself to be a literate one.
Immigration Policy Compromise Theory has been tested. GOP moderates tried after Romney lost, then got primaried by nativists. Dems tried it last year, with a bill that gave GOP most of what it wanted. They blocked it, then won the election. Reasonable concerns about border security this is not.
You ever think to yourself something like, "I should stop swearing so much, I don't want to be the kind of person who curses in front of small children." Then you remember who the president is and the entire concept of self-improvement feels kinda pointless?
"I'd buy that for a dollar" seems kinda middlebrow now
UPDATE: -City Whose License Plates Tell The Feds To Fuck Off, Invented Hardcore, & Is All A Short Walk From POTUS' Bedroom -City That Invented May Day Riots, Kept The Feds From Effectively Doing Prohibition, Brags About Doing Pizza Wrong, & Has So Many Guns that Spike Lee Made A Movie About It.
I think about Victor Garber's one guest spot on 30 Rock all the time. "You handled that pervert with aplomb. Very wool." is a line read that gets squeezed out of my mind grapes every so often.
You know that right wing meme when they look at a baroque church and are like “no one knows how they did this. We’ve forgotten how.” That’s how I feel about this 36 seconds of 30 rock
Reporters from across newsrooms in Chicago are collaborating to collect visual evidence of federal agents detaining people & using force in Chicago. Send videos to tinyurl.com/chicagojournalists, or get in touch via email chicagojournalists@protonmail.com.

Celia Bullwinkel’s new short 'Baby Bro' crashes the manosphere into the maternity ward, turning frat-boy misogyny into baby talk. Dark humor and biting satire combine in this adult-only, unconventional feminist film. www.cartoonbrew.com/shorts/bullw...
this is the most useful short-form video i've ever seen www.youtube.com/shorts/aALT9...
Swanboy might be the funniest, most bizarre, and inventive comic I've ever read. It's impossible to guess where it'll go because even the most absurd guess will seem mundane in retrospect. Words cannot do justice to the absolute madness that spills off every page. A great arc just ended, go read it.
Already seeing this reflected in TikTok videos across the city from the last ~24hrs; people are spotting unmarked cars meeting up in parking lots, some social media videos of traffic stops with federal agents (can't tell if ICE, but looks like it). Be aware of your surroundings.
Anyway, I got my double jab for covid and the flu along with some otc meds I wanted to restock for Wasteland Weekend because who knows how my body will react to the Mojave. Here's a photo of Tuxie for fun.
I post for the people who sit in their kitchens and eat lunch meat directly from the package, squeezing different condiments directly onto the meat slices before cramming them into their mouths, all while staring at the wall in abject silence.
Me: Trust me, I know how the AMA and insurance companies differ on this! Then we all laugh because this is healthcare in the US. Such a shame that There Is No Other Way.
Me, to my doctor two weeks ago: And remember to put in my Asthma Control medicine as one puff twice daily so the insurance won't complain. The Pharmacy Manager today: Oh yeah, you might not know about this but your insurance only allows a prescription maximum of two puffs a day...
i hope you kids have a good time with your shovel knight today!
Hilarious the Louisiana Gov and Senators are now asking Trump to federalize the Guard to take over New Orleans like supplicant subjects should. Let's remember. The Gov can do this any day of the week. That's what the Guard is. A state militia. Asking Trump to federalize them is some weird GOP kink.
i love washingtonians so much
The cats are mostly sleepy today, except Tuxie who claimed my groceries as his.
Right now there’s a lot of articles about how 2025 US total box office so far proves movies are in decline. It’s mostly bullshit. The real story of 2025 is original movies audiences want to see are doing individually far better than anyone expected, and studios seem to not know, or what people want…
I grew up in an area with a lot of Amish/ Mennonite people and a lot of small family farms, and one of our neighbor ladies had to boil milk almost as fast as their cow would make it. Almost every time I saw her at her house, she was stirring milk.
National Guardsmen now stationed outside our DC building confirmed that the only thing they can do if they witness a crime is call 911. The have no more authority than my office mate to intervene. Despite the handcuffs, they can't make arrests. They are very expensive mall cops.
It's seven years since we posted on Twitter about how kids kept coming into the library asking if we had any books about FORTNITE. We didn't back then, and we'd never heard of it so we tried asking what it was.
There's kind of no such thing as a scandal when you are as shameless as this administration is. There is no way to make people this nakedly monstrous feel bad or backtrack. It's all about whether the systems in place to check their power to be wantonly/illegally cruel create consequences or not.
Hi everything sucks here’s a video of a cockatoo playing with a puppy
I fear @priscillapage.bsky.social 's tweet from the old hellsite will be getting a lot of play this fall
think about how rotten your soul has to be, how broken your moral compass, to think drag queen story hour is a sign of social decay but snuff films of war crimes is exemplary, stand out, should be shared far and wide. these people are sick
Funnier than any joke we could write
A friend took this at a rally today and I barked laughing.
I enjoyed this. And what an infectious laugh. ❤️ "Reporter left speechless after witnessing Japan's new $70 million Maglev train in action at 310 mph"
Offer received and accepted, funemployment ends homies. I release my employment jelly to the wild now, thank you friend.
This is exactly right. 1000 AI generated Wattos will never be as interesting as the one that a human being chose to spend a chunk of their limited time on earth to create.
i met anubis in the realm of the underworld, big strong guy by the way, had a dog’s head, i’m not so sure about that. and he said to me, mr president, you’ve got the heaviest soul we’ve ever weighed down here. can you believe it? they’ve never seen a soul that heavy in all of duat
Hank Ketcham was, indeed, a gigantic piece of shit; this thread is a good primer on why. A little detail that wasn’t mentioned in the thread, but seems appropriate for Labor Day: he was vehemently anti-union while working at Disney and gleefully crossed the picket line. Again, trash human.
“These narratives around young people in ‘starter jobs’ or doing sort of superfluous work, or just work to get them through, can often function to lower young people's bargaining power and reduce the power that they have in the workplace. Unions can obviously help with giving them back that power.”
Men should have to apply to buy an acoustic guitar the same way you apply to buy a gun
Photo passed along from a federal employee from inside the Dept of Labor building, where a giant Orwellian image of Trump's face is now draped outside. Big Brother is watching.
Happy Labor Day! Solidarity forever!
anyway while you’re cracking your jokes about how much it sucks having to work your fancy job in my hometown this is what’s happening to the people who don’t get a summer recess from dc ❤️ bsky.app/profile/dcmi...
It’s finally Halloween season… Ready to celebrate with my McNugget Buddies!
"President Trump owes us answers about his health": weak, frames him as good-faith statesman, boring "What did JD Vance know about Trump's health and when did he know it?": interesting, carries implication Trump's health is fucked up as a given, implies scandal spreading throughout admin
Post a random picture or else everything will go bad in September.
my sister googled "fun things to do in Boston this weekend" and it told her to go sit on Storrow Drive and watch a bunch of college kids peel their rented Penske moving trucks open like tin cans
I haven't thought about this Cave Johnson bit in a minute but man, if it ain't an eternal mood. youtu.be/Dt6iTwVIiMM
Realizing that none of the feelings of alienation I've experienced over the years have really prepared me for future alienation or given me tools to help others navigate those moments is kind of bullshit. I am calling shenanigans on life.
The lies' laughable implausibility is a feature, not a bug. They're not trying to convince discerning, skeptical, fact-based people. They're trying to give supporters a fantasy that validates their feelings and creates a sort of loyalty test, while flaunting the absurdity in everyone else's faces.
If there *actually are* “mind viruses” then LinkedIn must be one
We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.
Los Angeles: share this. Fuck ICE.
hi, cis folks! this is present day reality for UK trans folks. it’s outrageous someone should have to have taken this journey to live as themselves, participate in society, & be with who they love. hi, cis americans! this is a future trans americans see that starts with “we need to compromise.”
Ya best start believing in cyberpunk dystopias... YER IN ONE!!!
replacing Batman fight onomatopoeiae with old midwestern brewery names
my father-in-law is a “I know a guy” Guy. sadly all the old Guys are aging out of the Guy Economy. Guys are fundamentally incompatible with Hustle Culture because it’s not about “winning” a deal, it’s about collecting favors and goodwill in a mutually-beneficial cycle. protect your local Guy Economy
Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”
"No, no, my upside down calculator is definitely conscious. See, it says 8008135--it has carnal lust, a feature of consciousness."
And it's off through the tubes! Fly little story!
conveniently ratio'd for either legal or half letter size, so you conveniently can just print it out on any printer if you like, whose going to stop you (not me)
Remember how if a kid choked on a little plastic toy they used to stop selling the toy
this is a watto if it was Paulie from the sopranos
I finally read computer scientist Joseph Weizenbaum’s 1976 classic “Computer Power and Human Reason.” This book deserves a massive revival in our current age of grotesque and largely thoughtless AI creep into everything:
Slept on it then just took some passes at it. Subtracted some words, added some others. Lookin' good. Did a read aloud pass and man, words are good. Not to be a pretentious Sorkin kind of guy about writing and spoken words but man, you get that rhythm and pitch going... Hoo baby, that's the stuff.
Happy birthday!!!
Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it will ask “do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.” Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment. No questions asked. No proof required. Pass it on.
mom said it's my turn to spiral
it remains genuinely shocking how much Trump 2.0 is anti-treatler - making everyone’s hobbies and small pleasures worse and more expensive - and how little this has impeded his authoritarian consolidation because the elites don’t care
