I love watching purists have a cow about that song. It's the band remembering they can still be a party rock band from Athens and executing flawlessly on it for a single. There's an optimism to that album even admidst its darker notes, and good ol Eleventh Untitled ends it optimistically.
"Stand." I know it's a silly little ditty with a hook. It's also full of good advice.
I'm like 98% an *ex*-hoarder until it comes to my Emotional Support Box of Power Adapters.
Labor Day protests tomorrow! @eastpdxindivisible.bsky.social event is before the big 50501 protest downtown, so it's possible to go to both if you're up for it!
somehow @faineg.bsky.social is not involved here...yet but think of how polls about ALF hog will go...
discharge papers obtained by the Sun show he was released with a list of "negative diagnoses" because it was "easier to list the diseases he doesn't have"
Too many guns pulled over shit too many times, and having literally seen guns over pizza in this life, you understand my answer.
(Yes, a Trenton tomato pie makes it in second as the crust is the same as what you'd get cheese on by default in Plymouth Meeting or at a cheesesteak place that inexplicably sells pizza and because food between trenton and dc it inherently slaps.
My east coast-west coast-great lakes coast solution is that they're all valid pizza inferior to New Haven style, with SE PA/South Jersey thin crust riding a hard second. Everything else is tied for third.
New York just declared war on the Midwest citing "excess thickness."
Whelp...gonna go ahead and take that heaping helping of eating my words about Mario Cristobal.
Homegirl loves her some corporate PAC money...
fashy white people get whatever they want by having a tantrum now or maybe the government would have stood up to them fucking once since 2020
Drazan literally ran on a Trump Good Trump Policies Including Racism Good platform for Gov. Why is anyone surprised she's gone off the far-right cliff? She was over it three years ago, y'all.
If you ever need help predicting what the policy of this administration will be, just ask, what would improve the lives and egos of the most painfully mediocre straight white conservative men imaginable, and go with that. It hasn't failed me yet!
i got some awful news for the OP there: the far left is brimming with Christians so that account isn't disingenuous it's just fuckin' lying. american west coast xtians often are kinda hard left but you don't notice it until they're high and talking about how Jesus would bomb a walmart.
I'm pretty sure the server felt disrespected and was being intentionally obtuse and playing with her food because a snotty flatlander doesn't understand Portland food culture. At all. Pay the .50. More of the real thing with real butter fucking rules ok?
A person I don't talk to anymore once made the mistake of sneering about how much more it would cost to get REAL syrup at a place that literally only serves...real maple syrup...it's why extra syrup costs fiddy cent. The server looked confused and asked if she needed sugar-free syrup or something.
you'll be AMAZED (/s) to hear this but every state has the same rule so why is Oklahoma so confused about this basic precept of the process of American jury service?
cis people who become disturbingly obsessed with trans people say this shit with a straight face and don't get how hard they're own goaling with moderates.
in her flip flops!! i love women
Oh yeah also we get real time info at their in-house pharmacies about what's in stock, given all those prescriptions, along with Costco and a couple of smaller local pharmacies being happy to help. I mean isn't evidence-based medicine a form of free speech?
I don't but for some reason my PCP's practice has decided to provide proactive prescription at any affiliated pharmacy. If you want a vaccine, you have a prescription! I actually did not think they'd have planned in such an exceptionally canny manner, but...freedom of choice, baby.
PHYSICAL. INACTIVITY. Do you struggle to get the recommended 150 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity per week? Yes? THERE YOU GO!! There’s your answer!
How about neither? Neither is good.
"it doesn't affect me" you say YET go ahead and nip it in the bud now. like when you stamp out transphobia now you're saving on homophobia later. it's a win-win. don't fuck it up. call, call, call.
This is a great time to remind everyone that EOs aren’t laws, the federal government doesn’t manage voting in this way, and it’s all a scare tactic and any reporting that doesn’t provide that context is enabling potentially lawless activity.
fuck naked and afraid let's make this reality show happen
Just saw someone refer to Cheryl Hines as The Marvelous Mrs. Measles and 💀💀💀💀💀💀
Stunning that five years into a pandemic that has killed *checks* 7,099,904 people, and people aren’t conscious of the influence of eugenics on government health policies
Disabled people have been warning about this EXACT SCENARIO since 2016 and raising the alarm that if Trump installs a fascist government *this is what would happen* We very literally predicted all of this. None of it is a surprise. People just don’t listen to the disabled so you are caught off guard
A review of Bon Bánh Mì by Erica, age *fortymumble*: The name is inaccurate. It should be called Très Bon Bánh Mì. 7-7 daily, 1747 SE 122nd Avenue, Portland. (If you go there, also check out El Grande Meat Market next door for lots of Mexican tasties past just meats. big nyc carnicería feel.)
joining the cult i see? it is an awesome cult.
When Yeltsin was too ill/drunk to be seen in public, the official explanation was: "The president is working with documents." Thank you for your attention to this matter.
btw the resurrected coffee people on fremont is like nothing happened. they even rehired a couple of old faces. I got a big-ass redeye oat chai and a coffee cake, rode home, and enjoyed the bounty. the vibe is even right, like an old pair of jeans you found in the back of the closet comfy.
This is the largest experiment into manifestation to date.
...fucking gobsmacked. it was so damn funny. At a dive bar in Chadron, NE called The Favorite. Wings to die for, a bizarrely deep tap list, and if you leave your car in the lot because you drank too much FREE BREAKFAST THE NEXT DAY. The liberals were confused. They disdained jello shots, too.
and his justification was that the countries are co-equal and have exchanged territory so much that a significant portion of people could have claims both ways so full faith and credit means they were treated like Canadians who overstayed: please leave 3x before deporation, etc. the liberals were>
one of the best things i've ever heard in smalltown midwestern america was a white guy pointing out that it's literally impossible for a Mexican to be in the US illegally and that the US government is asinine for believing it. watching a couple of white city slickers looking stunned? PRICELESS
Then dont buy them. Buy number matchy bullshit which has worse odds and payouts. Like the solution to all lottery complaints is don't. I like my scratchies, but the social contract must be respected.
There is no mechanism that says only white Frenchmen can win any seat in France, nor any mechanism for that in the UK. Iran isn't comparable due to wholesale disenfranchisement. Or to be more blunt: We have a homeland. It's called Long Island. Good talk!
White moderates need to stop looking away just this one time. Prove Martin wrong. Prove my grandparents who have been preparing us for this all along wrong. Please.
Are you a fucking clanker, dude? It's not "to win an election", it's a permanent minority government where Muslims can never hold any actual power.
It takes me a solid 5 minutes to get through the $3 crosswords. But "for something to do?" Naah, I'm joping I won my 5-10 bucks which becomes burrito money at the end of the month when I'm broke.
No shit. In a permanent minority in government. There's a word for that...
Not playing yr "I'm more diverse than you so I can be a misogynist" game, dude. You need serious help. You can find that from many places, but parroting far-right horseshit spread by anti-Semites and then pearl-clutching when my fat ass tells you Muslims are people and going misogynist? Super GOP.
You're not from Australia. You're being an American Pretendian here.
Totally not a misogynist fuckup. Totally.
So are you saying Muslims shouldn't be allowed to hold elected office? Or in the US at all? Funny, your Trumpy nonsense (ps: Trump's an anti-Semite, you fucking dipshit) was specifically addressed by the Founding Fathers.
Neither Jacob Kornbluh or I are "online leftists", bro. You're either stuck in a bad lie, in which case block, take the L, and go pay $35 for a bougie drink downtown, or alternately you're just lying for the fun of it to troll.
Again, you just have ad hominems, and I do have a hell of a defense there against anti-Semitism, but unlike you I don't sit there dispensing which groups I'm a member of as a cudgel. Again: Why do you use misogyny so freely? Why do you feel entitled to do that just like Child Porn Jeff?
Me and Jacob Kornbluh agree:
So you're not Indigenous American, but instead Indigenous Middle Eastern. Got it. As to the Levant, that's a topic well above my pay grade, my rabbi's pay grade, my rabbi's rabbi's pay grade, etc.
That's weird, it says "removed post" Anyways, you seem to be full of shit and misogyny, which is generally what the fake-centrists of Portland have. And still can't explain why a Native American (i.e. Indigenous in the American millieu) is so petrified of Zohran Mamdani. Very curious.
And, again, misogyny from a supposed Democrat, who doesn't like Zohran Mamdani but won't explain why, but who threw their diversity credits out there rather than explain why their horseshit sounds exactly like Angela Todd and Jeff "CSAM Enjoyer" Church's white nonsense... Gonna delete again, bro?
And yet you're parroting what the fake "centrists" have to say and deleting, which totally is good faith engagement. I'm not playing games with someone who believes saying they're a registered Democrat is a defense against much anything. Indigenous and terrified of Mamdani? Interesting. Why?
Ah yes, the imagined conspiracies of Portland's "moderates" who are in fact not moderate at all, part 932802809298309:
The only way to stop a bad guy who's a fascist is with a .."Good" guy....who's a..fascist...?
If you are okay with this, if you think this is justified, if you think people living on the street have brought this upon themselves, if you think this is good leadership, you may be able to fool yourself that you care about others but you don’t fool me
"No, no, my upside down calculator is definitely conscious. See, it says 8008135--it has carnal lust, a feature of consciousness."
Yes, the burger at Killer Burger is named after him. Get it with an Impossible patty but keep the bacon, next fucking level. Impossible patties and sharp sauces and creamy cheeses go together so well it's magic. www.nationalww2museum.org/war/articles...
It genuinely melts my mind how so many allegedly smart people are willing to simply discard the utterly crucial differences between the embodied, organic consciousness of human beings (and bees, and dogs, and fish) and the networked, disembodied simulacra of such that is an LLM.
It bears repeating: WE DO NOT HAVE A FUNCTIONAL CDC ANY LONGER. WE ARE ON OUR OWN. We must work together and collaborate in order to survive this, or else we will perish.
NZ's right wing government is close to 3, say 4-5 in Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, a lot of other places we're kind of on the cusp of some recognition. the UK might be the worst right now.
I’m going to preface this by saying that I am not an expert. @aprildaniels.bsky.social has just published and excellently stated explanation of why this knowledge is important. www.aprildaniels.com/2025/08/tran... By my reckoning we currently fulfill 8/10 stages. www.genocidewatch.com/tenstages
Seven in the US, eight in the UK, and Australia over there asking why we're so bothered with all this and can we have our weird friend back. The massive failure of a transphobic campaign in Iowa in the US (losing a trump +11 state senate district by 11.something points) is heartening but limited.
Overslept? Check. Until 11:45 for a 1:30 meeting downtown. Didn't put my hair in a bonnet? Check. Actually had a cold Soylent? Good work, past me. Overslept because I was too nervous to get to sleep even after 40mg of THC? Yep. socks were still wet? mmmhmm None of it mattered. This is auspicious.
It's a very good feeling when your subconscience actively undermines you, hits all the things that should get you, and you land on your feet. No, I didn't want to pay for, nor could I afford, that $35 (with tip and like 5 min waiting and 2 stops!) cab ride. But I still made it 7 minutes early.
pretty goddamn mad about all the goddamn nazis
Having seen what "compromise" has meant in the UK, anyone assuming a Newsom run is a good idea, is a fool.
like do you think these dipshits don't get that the next step is no more women's sports because we have to keep these young fertile women "safe"? i mean, Trump is trying to abolish Title Nine, he's narrowed it via fiat more than once...
as someone who has been ass deep in repro rights since forever the "explanations" used for dictating cis women's uteri have jumped that 4th amendment penumbra of privacy to demanding excess information about trans people. you should have to be EMOTIONALLY 25 to be Governor. Gavin's about 13 rn.
ah yes, vital that we have housing for cars and not people
this includes ethnomusicology and history and theory of music programs.
Yep. Only the works of Anglo white people matter to this pile of dipshits. The cruelty, and the cultural erasure, is the point. UofC is run by weak milquetoast white liberals who aren't doing shit to stand up to the far-right.
There will be many casualties from UChicago ending ('pausing') PhD admissions in Humantities, but one which I am keenly aware of: this is close to a death sentence for teaching cuneiform in the United States (esp. Sumerian, Hittite, Elamite, Eblaite, Luwian) and it will affect the whole world.
The feds took cozca again Free Cozca Free everyone
So doing the same thing the far-right does without consequence. What's your point? Also, Trump lies about everything. He's not smart enough for a plot because this is how Mafia dons in their twilight go.
G-d willing soon enough we will never hear from them again. And seeing your bio, thanks for doing one of the most thankless jobs out there.
I'm curious who else you want to feed to the oven after trans people. And as part of the 92% club, respond carefully.
Yeah. It's a holocaust reference. The Proud Boys have a shirt about it, but they're totally not Nazis! /s
The Sweet Life of Zach and Cody (get it, they own an ice cream shop!)
So you can't actually elucidate what's too radical? Come on, you're parroting far-right horseshit. I can't see this as good faith engagement, but I wonder what the purpose of it is.
Alas no. Sadly. He's on the birdhellsite, @/kevinvdahlgren
A gun with "x million wasn't enough" on it is definitely a sign. At this point if a Caucasian is carrying a weapon with anything written on it, I've got my hand on my holster. It's a sign of very bad things every fucking time.
1. Most of these are far-right horseshit. 2. "stupid radical voices" please elucidate
#ThenPerish
NGL watching the Feds leave in a rented Nissan Versa is equally tragic and comic.
A progressive Democrat who was quite proud of her progressive views on reproductive rights and queer people being human beings. Didn't just win, didn't just win by a pretty good margin...overperformed by more than 20%. Overperform 20% repeatedly, and anything is possible.
Trans friends and family - I love you so much. We're going to get through this. Also a reminder that they target the racialized members of our community first. We white trans people must protect our racialized siblings, always.
White people did this. White people need to take responsibility for the far-right monster they've made and the horrors he does for fun. White people chose this path. And it's time for white people to sit down their lost-ass family members and tell them what REALITY looks like. No more excuses.
Change involves the white moderate not fucking it up for once and putting their foot down on their shitty co-worker or nasty uncle that jerks off to ovening people. There needs to be some sort of *social* denazification before the government can be fixed right now.
What I propose is that white people will stand up to their relatives who have gone off the deep end and believe George Soros and JINA are trying to "trans your kids" or whatever. When people are living in fantasyland, you don't bow to their fantasies. You don't bow to their delusions.
Yes. And they're dipshits. Good talk!
The one person I know who would be affected by that tax is screaming his little lungs out supporting Mamdani and I love it. He posted (sadly flocked) on Facebook about how many hours he'd need to bill to make up for it in a year: Five. Literally $1850 more in taxes a year.
There's Ms., is there not? Like...it's not 1953, folks.
what benefit is this @npr.org ?? you already lost your funding !!!! whomst do u have to appease !!!!
I think the refusal to do the obvious to protect children is state-sanctioned child abuse.
It's like a big marketing stunt, but instead of paying media a shit-ton of money, instead they made the choice to buy some medical debt and get free marketing. This is quite literally an actual, honest to fuck, win-win.
