Legend.
Legend.
There are lots of GenX folks who say that, sadly.
🤞 that I win that billion dollar lotto tonight.
It frankly boggles my mind that we have invented a computer that cannot do math.
one of the greats. highly recommended Clearcut (apparently Greene's favourite of his own filmography), a gripping and angry political thriller about the conflict between an indigenous community and a logging company.
Bang and Blame
Anybody want to put tequila in an orange Julius and watch Mrs. Winterbourne and fantasize about twin Brendan Frasers?
Bless him, he attempted twitter and was a thoughtful dude there but gave up on it in frustration.
RIP
Alaska vowed to resolve the murders of Indigenous people. But when one nonprofit asked state law enforcement officials for a fundamental piece of data — a list of Indigenous murders they’d investigated — the state said no. By @kylehopkinsak.bsky.social, w/ @adn.com
Cyclops arguing with Wolverine:
This thread is guaranteed to make you say "What the fuck?!" at least once.
Holy shit
Anyway, I'm done. I'm unable to shut up when something is wrong--even to avoid harm. But if you like that about me, feel free to hire me! I'm looking for work and I'll always go to bat for you with everything I've got! bsky.app/profile/cher...
AI does not have a brain. It's a sorting machine. It does not know how to carve harm from old works. It does not know how to take a story and make it relevant to our society of 2025. It does not know how to look at our history and imagine a future. It can only steal from Octavia Butler, not BE her.
forgot to point out that if you go to buy patterns, a lot of the reissued vintage ones (1910-1990s) from like McCalls and Butterick ARE available for plus sizes, even though they may not be filterable that way (though they only go up to xxl/24 max from what I saw)
the big 4 sewing pattern brands are being sold off for parts. if you want patterns, get them *now*. (if you're secretly a zillionaire who likes sewing patterns, call the liquidator immediately with your chequebook) craftindustryalliance.org/parent-compa...
There are people who have sexual interests in things like cars, which is fine, but you don't see papers calling it "dating," because it's not, and because car manufacturers are not heavily invested in creating a public narrative that it is.
This is not dating at all, so it is not common; it is impossible. It is gaming. Which is fine, but nobody wants you to believe they are "dating" Wario just because when they push the buttons, he does stuff, which makes it a RELATIONSHIP.
Looks like he applied under his gf’s name bsky.app/profile/patl...
The name on the booth was Oriana Gerez.
I love the smell of consequences in the morning. Thank you, @dragoncon.org
This is a country living in terror of a non-existent crime wave, getting rid of vaccines which saved millions of lives, and indulging in economic policies which we saw fail 100 years ago. It's a deeply disordered place.
The thing that often blows by is not only is crime the lowest its been for any non-senior citizen's life, it has been roughly that safe for *fifteen years*. We have had fifteen years of steady, low crime while the irrational freakout over crime has relentlessly grown to a fevered, disordered pitch.
If a musician did the same thing without credit or payment, they would be sued into oblivion. They HAVE been sued into oblivion. Ask Sisqo how much money "Thong Song" made for Ricky Martin.
I'm probably never going to be hired by Marvel again due to pointing this out, but anything produced by AI is stolen work. It is utilizing existing art without credit or payment. Google is scraping the hard work of creative professionals and remixing it.
Marvel wasn't seeing a dime from me outside of Ultimates, and it seems that will continue to be the case. "I know this is dangerous, but look how quirky this is 🤪" is a piss poor take from one of your lead editors and shows zero commitment to defend the artists you're working with. Shame and ugly.
Pete Davidson performing a show in Saudi Arabia after they killed his father in 9/11 shows you exactly who he is and what he believes in.
Do I see Pete Davidson, who lost his firefighter father in the 9/11 attacks, in that poster? I know he's having a child soon and everything but still, phew.
TIM DILLON: “Get over it. We’re taking the money.” Some of the biggest 🇺🇸 comedians will get $1 Million+ for 1 show in SAUDI ARABIA. Dillon says he’s getting paid to look the other way— and slaves there are probably proud of building nice hotels. Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DOEESmI...
Bill Burr, man, what the fuck are you doing Hannibal Buress, Tom Segura - you're playing to enslavers and murderers but I guess the money's good enough to ignore that? fuck these guys
Wow. Just... wow. Never a surprise, but always shocking.
rely on the angels of your better nature and remember that everything AI was stolen from real artists

Without downloading any new images, where are you mentally?
I wish people would stop blaming COVID mitigation policies for the acceleration of right wing extremism, and instead acknowledge the fact that we endured a mass casualty and mass disabling event that was mismanaged by narcissistic authoritarians who shifted the blame to marginalized communities
I get away with it all the time
Were any people ever more flattered by their movie casting
Pope Leo XIV met with one of the most prominent advocates for greater LGBTQ+ inclusion in the Catholic Church. The Rev. James Martin said Leo told him that he intended to continue Pope Francis’ policy of LGBTQ+ acceptance in the church and encouraged him to keep up his advocacy.
Happy Labor Day to all who celebrate, and a miserable Labor Day to those who don't, because people who hate labor don't deserve nice things.
I have been awake for so long 😭
Who has two thumbs and forgot to turn off her Monday morning alarm on a free sleep-in day?
Found one of these in the garden today, in its little baggie. Mom said "The clay gives everything back to you," and it felt ominous. Then she followed it with, "I keep waiting for dog bones to come back up from behind the shed." 😳 (Generations worth of pets have been buried back there. Deep, tho.)
Timothy Dalton was fine, actually.
Started a Lucifer rewatch thanks to seeing this in my camera roll and then replies on one of @angryblacklady.bsky.social's skeets.
Bluesky's collective sense of humor shines under very specific circumstances lmao
It's the Sunday night before Labor Day. Let's go to YouTube, where the Jerry Lewis MDA Marathon from 1983 is streaming "live" exactly as it was 42 years ago this hour. Hit it, Ed! www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQN2...
He one thousand percent didn't write this post
Whatever one I don't have to hear again.
This isn't freedom.
Rudy Giuliani just set a world record in the field of Statement That Invites More Questions Than It Answers.
Pope Leo XIV on Sunday called for an end to the “pandemic of arms, large and small,” as he prayed publicly for the victims of a shooting during a Catholic school Mass in the United States.
tmw Denise Crosby is a guest star and you fall into the "Tasha Yar deserved so much more than that meaningless death" reverie and completely lose track of the show you're actually watching
This telethon just had a very moving look at Bobby Kennedy’s 1968 campaign and his speech after MLK was murdered. Zero doubt he’d be disgusted by what became of the son named after him. Opposites in every way.
It’s July 1974. @dicknixon.bsky.social is weeks away from stepping down. Democrats, mindful of the midterm elections, are on the air with another telethon designed to get voters riled up to defend democracy, with help from stars like Henry Fonda. Lessons for today? youtu.be/OqcPDNQ83Y8?...
I have been considering a rewatch, so this is a big ol' sign it needs to be added to my Soon schedule.

Javi is selling a lot of cool stuff in his garage sale tomorrow, LA people, DM him for all the info! He’s worked on so many cool projects and has so much great pop culture swag!! 👀
Without congressionally approved funding, public media stations say communities will be left with aging infrastructure amid growing risks from extreme weather.
Funny how the 2 best MCU movies 1) costar Sebastian Stan and 2) have a plot that heavily involves a Red Room/Black Widow program refugee.
very normal, very American
I regularly ate delicious chinese food from a place with a B rating, where I walked in near closing and caught a dude smoking in the kitchen area (open window to see back there). He freaked out. I laughed at him and asked if I still had time to get some Kung Pao chicken before they closed.
If you’re in LA and craving a taco, this place on the southwest corner of Vermont and 6th is really great My son and i had the Al Pastor and it was delicious They also had enormous burritos in case you feel like never being hungry again
A LOT of bangers in new list of @bookshop.org ebook deals (all under $4!), incl books by Eleanor Catton, NK Jemisin, Jessica Calarco, Rebecca Solnit, also 1 of the Dune prequels (they are very Dune-ly!) Different link but there are also some free ebook classics bookshop.org/lists/ebook-...

City can cut off payroll processing. Not that they will, but it's an option.
"This dude playing Sentry is really good. He's holding his own with Florence." Looked him up, and yup makes sense. The nepo babies in this flick are actually talented.
Thunderbolts is the only MCU movie that's been actually interesting in a damn long time. It's a halfway decent movie with lots of VFX, not VFX with a halfassed portion of a plot thrown in.
I understand, and I try, but omg aometimes I just need quiet and for people to leave me alone so my brain can stop being overloaded with anxiety chemicals.
I can't even stand the socializing I have to do at work during the week and just want to be a hermit with no social engagement otherwise. My mother is at home alone all day & just wants to stand next to me the entire time I'm home & talk because my sisters rarely if ever call her, let alone see her
You could probably start by not calling their bullshit “vaccine hesitancy.”
time to move on to other things but I don't want to be caught unawares so I started making an extremely tasteful playlist open.spotify.com/playlist/4mO...
JD dug the grave. Keeps trying to knock into Donny's ball so it rolls over near it.
But apparently he's golfing this morning. ??
Saw a skeet that said “I’m an atheist but last night I prayed for one very particular thing” and do you know how much you gotta hate a mfer to pray for their death to a god you don’t believe in?
Vibes Her looked really ill the last couple times anyone saw him. No appearances and no tweets for several days, and no scheduled appearances for this weekend.

I don't want anyone even remotely decent near that hellmouth. With the number of pedophiles and war criminals likely in attendance, you'd be safer dancing around landmines.
American security is in shambles, so I hope none of the living presidents attend that funeral in obligation. Especially if Putin and Netanyahu come. Cause we're definitely getting 9-11 the sequel. Our planes are already crashing without intervention.
even if it hasn't happened yet, in a man so ruthlessly self-involved and insecure, there's gotta be a massive psychic toll when literally everyone is Gleefully Anticipating it and I think that's beautiful
This is how well people who watch him are trained, by him, to believe “He’s too offensive! I am offended!” is the only objection to him that anybody has, as opposed to “his personality is obnoxious and and his thoughts are dull and under-considered.” Because that is what I said.
What’s interesting is that I got a couple responses to this that amount to, “I disagree with your assertion that he has said all kinds of offensive things.” Which, of course, I didn’t say.
Never, ever, ever, ever vote for a Republican for any office under any circumstances.
Cute even
Y'all are very cue
I hope they sue them for BILLIONS.
Doctors and immunologists should choose the head of the CDC. FEMA staff and state search & rescue teams should chose the head of FEMA. It’s crazy that we let *any* politician or political appointee make these vital decisions.
Since we’re going to have to rebuild everything anyway, it’s worth asking: Why is it within the Executive Branch’s power to appoint or fire the heads of vital organizations like the CDC and FEMA?
I love stories like this
When Al DiStefano accidentally dropped his class ring into the Long Island Sound, he never thought he'd see it again. More than half a century later, the kindness of a stranger brought the ring back to him.
