you can immediately clock WKRP fans just by seeing whose face lights up with these 10 little words: "As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly."
Calling peoples' employers in a rage because their tributes to Robert Redford weren't horny enough
it's so funny to see America's health insurance companies be like "look. If there's one thing we love it's denying you care. but we ran the numbers - and we cannot BELIEVE we're saying this - and it's cheaper for us to just pay for the vaccines than deal with you going to the ER."
This story, of equal or greater important to the Kirk shooting, is getting no material media coverage. The 16-year-old who shot two students in a Colorado high school on the same day Charlie Kirk was killed was a virulent white supremacist and antisemite. www.denverpost.com/2025/09/11/e...
That first one is calling my name
In no particular order: Reaper, Enlisted, and Almost Human. I mean COME ON, those were GOLD
We don't yet have any idea what the ideology of the Kirk shooter was. But we do know that the Denver school shooter was a far-right white supremacist. www.denverpost.com/2025/09/11/e...
☹️, just more and more ☹️
3/ None of this is normal. If Republicans continue to view themselves as Trump's employees, instead of an independent branch charged with checking runaway executive power, the damage to our democracy will be fatal.
Charlie Kirk spent his last days manufacturing a lurid panic about “Black-on-White crime” and his final post on X was a call to politicize a murder. He was not “practicing politics the right way.“ You can oppose what happened yesterday without pretending he was One of the Good Ones.
Remembering MN house speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their beloved dog Gilbert. Murdered in June at their home by a rightwing Trump-voting evangelist, who also shot another MN lawmaker and his wife at THEIR home, 9 and 8 times, respectively (miraculously, they survived).
Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."
And for their sperm count 🤦🏽♀️
Dearest @rianjohnson.bsky.social, looking for another Marvel alum for your next Benoit Blanc mystery?
what a humiliating way for don jr. to find out his dad sends birthday cards.
NEW: The Supreme Court has allowed ICE to resume "roving" immigration raids in Los Angeles, lifting an order from a district judge who found the actions amounted to racial profiling. w @joshgerstein.bsky.social www.politico.com/news/2025/09...
BREAKING: The Supreme Court — over the objection of Justices Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson — allows the Trump administration’s racial profiling of people working certain types of jobs in its immigration raids during litigation.

How long til civilized countries with public health standards quarantine or bar anyone they can determine has recently been exposed to Florida.
moar of this pls
Nobody is “grooming” your kids to be gay or trans but people ARE grooming them to be Nazis.
😂 the lucky ones do!
Said this on the other app but we rly need to normalize that growing up = becoming a person with the money to afford childhood interests. The idea that you have to suddenly stop caring about cute or joyful things when you turn 18 is the reason so many ppl are so fucking miserable for 60 years after
This, all day every day.
Concern over low birth rates was what the theocracy in Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale used to come to power.
Literal lol 😆
Bay of Fundy: World’s best and wettest rollercoaster
I love the smell of consequences in the morning. Thank you, @dragoncon.org
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
live your life in such a way that millions of people don’t joyfully await your demise
Weird that these mass shootings get narratively framed as random violence caused by an imprecise miasma of social pathology and not as independent contributions to a specific and highly organized political program.
remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature
Our 3yo had like a hundred fuckin questions about the rules & logistics & moral implications of how mogwais become gremlins, but ZERO questions about "sometimes people change from girl to boy" or "sometimes boys marry other boys" or whatever, kids dgaf, the problem has ALWAYS been bigot ass parents
A major obstacle for folks attempting to defend democracy is that a perfectly accurate description of what Trump is attempting sounds like hysterical conspiracy theorizing to a lot of people. We default to “c’mon, that can’t happen here”—which is exactly why it can.
Their memorials are history. Ours are political. Because as always, there are two sexualities - straight, and political. Two genders - male, and political. Two religions - Christian, and political. Two races - white, and political.
this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like
💚🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
I love you so much rn 😭🧡💚
I am this post
“Tearing things down doesn’t make it great again. It just tears things down.”
The absolute overlap of "This serves as a distraction" and "Treat it as a distraction" is stupefying. If I throw a dead cat on the table, it will distract you. Also, something will need to be done about a dead cat on the table. it can't be ignored.
i cant believe a country that has spent decades measuring success purely by the accumulation of material wealth has lost its moral compass
this is so wonderfully weird, give her all the golds 🥇
Trump has made no comment. The White House has found the time to post a video of the arrest of that guy who threw a sandwich at a cop, but nothing about a cop killed defending the government's own employees. Marjorie Taylor Greene, whose district includes parts of Atlanta, has also said nothing.
America is no longer descending into fascism. We are seconds away from impact Military occupation has come to DC. If and when military occupation comes to where you are, there are things that you can do. This article outlines some of them
😞
Once you understand that a driving principle of American politics is there is no such thing as a compassionate solution that's cheap enough or a cruel solution that's too expensive, a lot of things click into place.
lol, glad I wasn’t the only one
Trump's occupation of DC is an expression of the idea that every unbreakable law and unpardonable act of violence becomes necessary if you first establish that you and your followers are complete and utter cowards.
Wow! Seeing it in NYC!! And properly attired! That must’ve been amazing, back row or wherever. The best I could do was Bellevue, WA lol. Those were the days 🥹
Mid week mood check. Gif me, baby
the problem with “norms” is they’re just held together with common sense and a fear of shame. when people have neither, it all collapses.
EDDIEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! 💕💕💕💕
I wish I could see this for the first time again 😭. Like, remember how BLOWN your mind was?? I want that again.
Def not what I thought “flaming moe’s” was going to be (it’s way better 💕)
I’M COMING DONT START WITHOUT ME!!!!
Since the world is broken, let’s all watch Tom Holland and Zendaya to feel some joy again. Protect your peace, friends.
This is masculinity too
The 2024 election was the easiest open book test America has ever taken, and holy shit did we fail. I think about this almost every day. I can't help it. I am still astonished that this country is so filled with hateful, stupid people who couldn't slam their dicks in the door hard hard enough.
Raskin: In any event, if he really cared about public safety in DC… he would not have pardoned 1600 insurrectionists and violent cop beaters on his first day in office.
Sometimes Netflix gets it
Thank you for this gift 😂😂😂😂 and for showing me I’ve been mispronouncing “egg” all my life 😆
Your lower back is kind of a dick 🥺

Alright, Hitler, you're in. But I'm watching you.
Another way the Trump administration is trying to kill people worldwide.
The student newspaper. This fell. To the student. Newspaper.
Gonna be real with you, this feels like an advertisement for spiritual death
Bravo!!!! 👏 👏👏👏
AI filmmaking is peeing. It’s pooping. It’s throwing up. It’s a new kind of liquid coming out. It’s hated by the establishment. It’s what goes in the toilet. It’s wet. It’s what’s in the bathroom.
THERE WAS NOTHING IN THAT BROWNIE THIS EDIBLE IS BULLSHIT - oNe hOUr laTer-
Take care of yourself. May memories of her bring you comfort.
Why isn’t there a gif of Pinhead winking??
The was an old Soviet joke: -Why was our flight delayed by one hour? - One of our pilots saw the problem with one engine, but now it’s alright. - You changed engine in just one hour? - No, we’ve changed the pilot. That’s not a joke in the U.S. anymore.
Incoming TL cleanse!!
no cheating post your lock screen
Yes! Continued happy viewing. Really a bright spot entertainment-wise. Thanks for bringing it up. True to the op, I didn’t have anyone to yell about Shogun with when I watched it 🤷🏽♀️. Feel free to hit me up if you need some emotional support after ep9, lol
