Either dad rock like The Eagles or Dire Straits or Toxic-Era Britney Spears. It is too loud. We're not allowed to sing along.

Made a reference to a coworker about how I have all these little codes and in-jokes with myself as a way of keeping myself amused and she asked for an example and couldn't even listen to the context for the example let alone the example itself
"Any panties are edible panties if you're Moth Man" (excellent Mothman cosplay ensues)
Totally! I wish I was that body-positive about myself
This young man came through with a whole sermon. “Even in the game of chess, they wanna tell us the king is the special piece…That n* only can move one space! The queen doin’ everything on the f*ckin’ board!”
Found out today there’s an anti-immigration (anti-refugees) march happening in my city tomorrow, and I’m pretty annoyed that I’m working and I can’t attend the counter-protest. This racist shit makes my skin crawl
This happened at the lingerie store I used to work at too during the one sale we had every year. We only had two changing rooms and some of those wealthy women were very self-confident and motivated to get that discount Pain de Sucre bikini or Aubade set!
Tribes of feral moms living in the wilderness of the Portland goodwill
Honestly the feathers make the vestigial hands make so much more sense
were baby tyrannosaurs just big emu chicks? Science can't prove me wrong
I found this through YT yesterday and I am intrigued by the bold silhouette and retro design choices. Probably the most interesting everyday-viable trousers design I've seen in years
Seems like you may need these.
During the European campaign of WW2, American troops would leave this character to let the NAZIs know that they were everywhere. Kilroy is beginning to pop up in public spaces. He is the call for & promise of liberation. He is hope. He is everywhere. Kilroy was here.
“Did Jesus not fuck?” post locked after 647 pages of heated debate
It was in Afrikaans and the art was different. Could have been a ripoff XD
Weird, my feed did the inflation furry thing as well. Def not within my range of interests!
When I was a kid I had a book that claimed if you put an X of sellotape on a balloon and then push a pin through the overlapped part the balloon doesn’t explode, just deflates slowly. Never tried it though
Eurgh, one of those days at work that are just frustrating and now I’m out I just feel anxious and sick :(
Reminds me of how multiple streamers have used the pineapple on pizza debate as a way to reset the chat when things have gotten a bit intense in a bad way
About two weeks after emigrating to the UK and joining a private girls' school at 11yo: teacher comes in and hears a comment from a student about how much they're sweating (had PE in previous lesson) and she rounds on the whole class and declares in high RP "Horses sweat, men perspire, LADIES GLOW".
The author is clearly the cousin on Colonel Aureliano Buendia
If you agree TERFs are a thick as pot dogs.. Adopt a potcake dog! They even fly them to you! This is unbelievably cool!
Apparently they have a major overpopulation problem and are actively adopting out all over the world!
…wow
I want to embroider this exchange on a sampler and put it on my wall
I know it is entirely beside the point, but I had to google ‘pot dog’ and now I know Caribbean Potcake Dogs exist
The real success story is this tradescantia zebrina bosse that a coworker gave me cuttings for. Unfortunately they were so over-watered they were essentially stuck in mud slurry, it was a touchy for a while if I’d save them. Lost about half the initial cuttings to rot. Six months between these pics.
I know this is a very unimportant post but I am relatively new to the plant parent thing and I’m pleased at how these guys are doing.
Moved my plants around today in preparation for autumn/winter. Don’t know what else to do with the bloodleaf as it has become too big for the window
This made my day!!! I love seeing people get creative. Who says life can’t be spontaneous like a musical? Part 2 in comments.
When I think about what AI can do I imagine some group of uni students splicing an AI into a jacked-up mod of CIV3 loaded up with a ton of historical data on demographics; the global economy; climate change etc. you can then interact with to simulate Big Questions. Not a chatbot plugged into Google
I wouldn’t say I’m super knowledgeable about choosing glasses/sunglasses, but isn’t this a bad shape for his face?
Sooo… that means in the UK if you’re giving someone the Victory-V sign you’re telling yourself to fuck off at the same time…?
I hope this was the entirety of their email response
saw this post on Insta from my friend Laramie, a queer horror writer (excerpt from SACRAMENT by Clive Barker), then opened bluesky to see Talia’s post, and I am feeling both things so deeply. you are fucking magic. we are magic. we are a hydra. chop off a head, ten grow back. I get queerer every day
Wake up new Menswear guy lore just dropped
this is just brutal and I'm old enough to know it's true
am I the only one seeing it
My exact reaction
The whole premise of this show is bizarre. Even more bizarre is it started crossing my feed after the assassination of Kirk, and when I scrolled down the playlist feed…
The UK’s Conservative politicians are pretty scary. At the same time Trump was undermining the US Boris Johnson was doing the same thing but in a more insidious style. Then a quick succession of Prime Ministers that tanked the economy, spouted hate speech about immigrants etc. Sound familiar?
Anyone else play Alt-Right Playbook Bingo à la @innuendostudios.bsky.social’s series while watching this?
Shows how strong my Christian conditioning is that at “None of those motivational things he said change my opinion about him” my brain started writing the parable part where the Christian realises everything they’re shown does undermine his words & he is not a righteous man but we didn’t get there..
this is great for two reasons 1, the obvious: brilliant deconstruction of how patriarchy tries to sell total emotional isolation as not just a side effect but a GOAL of doing masculinity correctly 2: the repeated mentions of Buffalo Wild Wings made me laugh so hard
Theatre performance is just practical philosophy but y'all aren't ready for that conversation
The mycophagist community is thriving like a mushroom after rain if my socials are anything to go by. I think a lot of people got into it during lockdown? Seems like a delightful community that values the weird
if you’re an isolated, angsty, strange young man, please know that you can become a Kierkegaard scholar instead of joining fringe online communities
My cat is so annoyed at me that I won’t let him outside in the rain.
The alien fleet appeared suddenly and entered Earth's orbit. A message was broadcast, in thousands of languages "Greetings! We are the Interstellar Mobile Library. We have 4096 ships, please suggest landing sites for all." "Yes, of course it is free, and for all people." "Why? We are a library."
As a futon I feel called out 😂
Bog mummy take the wheel
a clear winner for me is the "humans are all bags of soup" aka primordial soup dumplings (continues in link) www.tumblr.com/unsaltedslug...
I can't recall where this originated but I'll never ever stop laughing at it.
It is a big leitmotif in Money Heist but if they got it from there they badly missed the point of the show (quelle surprise)
tomorrow i will convince a magistrate to remove a suicidal trans teen from the terfy grandma and even terfier mom — and return the kid to the supportive and affirming dad [me] i intend to look good doing it someone go tell the menswear guy about my courtroom rizz [kicks by @moxiest.art]
Thanks for the tip! I'll have to research further, that situation sounds wild
Quick appreciation post for Jonathan Ajayi’s work in portraying Smee in Alien: Earth. His physicality is so well-observed; it is a delight every time he’s on screen
I’m stuck on trying to work out Zizian. All I got is Žižek?? Somehow??
If said with confidence, the fancy kids probably though that was a good jape
Please tell me a sociologist has some sort of study on the white guy grimace. I want to know why and how an entire expression became a placeholder for an actual interaction
This is what the University Of Buckingham just called ‘ideals of free speech’
And it isn’t statements like this. Who on earth asked a random U.K. university to weigh in on this at all, and in such a disturbing way?? University Of Buckingham has just thrown their full-throated support behind a man who was the mouthpiece of a fascist regime and regularly broadcast hate speech
The only person I’ve ever known who had a major watch collection was a bus driver. Dude just loved watches 🤷
It really depends how much someone cares about still making money out of the media. Something older and more obscure like this probably has a high chance of being fine
Ohhhhh dear
Very cool! You’re not wrong :D
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.
If you made a monochrome of Digging I bet you could float it at Disturbia too :P
Feel like Lucy & Yak would be all over these.
My understanding is that it’s a name for a third gender that existed within certain indigenous groups that could be considered roughly equivalent to non-binary gender expression? As a term that’s been circulating in online queer culture for a while now and often misused
Penalising a creator for the ads on the platform they have less than no control over is a frankly buck-wild response. The Ad Centre is completely broken from a customer(product) perspective
Oh ew really? I only know of that island as a wedding destination, I know people who raved about how beautiful and cute it all is with the gondolas etc. 🤮
I don't know who needs to see this but in the 80s Jim Henson made a series called The Storyteller starring John Hurt and features imho the best adaptations of obscure or non-standard fairy tales ever committed to film. If you liked the Labyrinth/The Dark Crystal era of Jim Henson's work check it out
Am eternally confused by the impulse people have to bring their newborns to the library
It’s Nighteyes! 😭
but when will we get a commedia dell'arte video game
Support your public library. Defend your public library. Slay the enemies of your public library.
I usually try and move along from shit like this but it is so condescending to see this when you're not mentally 'normal'. Yeah I fucking wish my 30 years of chronic depression and suicidal ideation could have been fixed by a fucking shower. True, destructive hatred for yourself or others IS REAL.
I do IT support for a big org that is currently flipping all computers to Win11 and every day I like the OS less. Huge step back in utility. Combined with Office's AI shenanigans and general bugginess we have a lot of unhappy staff members right now :(
answer honestly & you have now made the exchange an exercise in ego, inflicting your state of being on the hapless Brit and violating a core tenet of social norms here. And there's very little leeway on these rules, if you don't learn and employ them you will. not. thrive here in work or social life
this is the dominant paradigm of behaviour I have to deal with daily. If you answer 'Y'arright?' with for example, 'Yeah fine' You'll often get another 'Y'arright?' because your rude ass hasn't indicated your symbolic interest in *them*, which short-cuircuits the whole exchange. However if you...
the question is quite a major social faux-pas, because it isn't a question, it is a noise the British make at each other to signify that they acknowledge the other exists but they do not care to know anything further. The whole mindset around it is so perfunctory & dehumanising that I despair that..
One of the most consistently infuriating things about English culture is the recursive greeting. Yes the correct answer to 'How do you do?' is 'How do you do?' but this is classist & archaic. The modern, in-vogue version is 'Y'arright?' to which the only correct response is 'Y'arright?'. Answering..
I would like to believe that they finally realized only a credulous fool takes TERFs mass-reporting anyone with a trans flag emoji in good faith and that "suspend first, ask questions later" is not the move, but keep me posted if you see any other trans or nonbinary folks suspended for this again
When very young I was introduced to the monster 'Ou Platkop', a creature as thin as a shadow who sneaks through the gaps in the window to hide under beds and if you stick a limb over the edge will drag you under and away. I have incredible sleep-proprioception, never fallen out of a bed in my life
One of those weird little books I came across as a teenager and think about too often is ThiGMOO by Eugene Byrne, not least because it is probably the most optimistic futurist Marxist story about true AI I've ever read and . (It is out of print but you can read it for free on archive.org)
SomeBODY once told me you only live twice
Great movie to watch with cats
My recommendation would be any anthology edited by Gardner Dozois as a good entry point. The guy had taste
“Form is never more than a *revelation* of content.” — Denise Levertov
I guess what I'm saying is, drop your favourite Dylan covers so I can listen to some Nobel-winning poetry without having to listen to the whiny misogynist who wrote them 👇
Sometimes I worry that, like Neutral Milk Hotel's In The Aeroplane Over The Sea, I need to bust through an early aesthetic repulsion to get to the point where I can start getting from Bob Dylan's music what fans do, but ITAOTS never made me want to throw my speakers out the window within two bars
Why are DMs only for soliciting sex or money?
back-scratches, massages, being-a-weighted-blanket-while-mother-naps, and eventually back waxer (father) were among my childhood chores growing up
