Desk job and gym membership was mostly the ideal dude life back in the Roman Empire too, as I understand it? Get off the frontier, find a nice granary job

Anyway, the traditional "way things were" so beloved by reactionaries was largely made up by some terrible 19th century hacks who even then couldn't ever hammer all the old stories enough to fit into their bullshit racist project.

The past is, blessedly, too goddamn complicated for that.

At root this is the most depraved thing about right wing evangelical Christianity: asking god for forgiveness is about meaning it and proving through your actions that you mean it, not “God whispered to me that I’m all good so shut the fuck up about it already lol”

Threads thread: thriller_instinct 3d Is it okay to bully 40 and 50 year olds who are on social media just for being on it, cuz like why are you here - 254 Q 3.1K G 28 746 corporateash 18h ••• My ICQ UIN is 7231680. That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned that you could see private conversations in public chat rooms when using Telnet instead of a browser on GeoCities. I can tell you the difference in audible dial-up handshakes between 1200, 2400, 14.4 kbps modems. I needed a edu email address to join Facebook after my university was admitted. We were here at the beginning. We made social media. You wouldn't be in my Top 8. I have usernames older than you. 852 Q62 G6 72

“I have usernames older than you.”.
Holy shit

I also do have a soft spot for Taming of the Shrew, as it is the first Shakespeare I remember seeing live. I was in elementary school and it was outside at the Washington’s Crossing amphitheater here in NJ.

Much Ado, Othello, and the Henriad (first one- I once got to see a 7 hour version of it with a lunch break)

I can feel social media staffs around the country going “ohhh we can eat off this for days”

This is exactly the kind of gossip + intense detail my autism yearns for

i cannot stress enough that if you know anything about how kristi noem found out she was fired you must tell me

An ADSBx map showing C104 heading toward Watertown SD

If you live near Watertown SD, I’ll send you $100 and the thanks of a grateful nation if you send me photos of Noem getting off the plane.

CNN: Approval for President Trump's East Wing ballroom project – from a government commission that oversees planning for federal buildings and land in the nation's capital – is delayed after it received over 32,000 comments from the public overwhelmingly opposing the construction.

I’m flying tonight and so excited to give her the finger if I spot her

There must be a word/phrase for voluntarily refusing to add new information to your worldview. I put my Samsung clamshell phone in a ziploc bag while canoeing in 2007 and the condensation messed up the speaker so it went "koff koff" instead of ringing thereafter. No way phones can go in the shower

There it is: Noem out, Mullin in

Bet there’s some folks inside DHS also very excited to show Corey the door

Now here's the reason why you should be down to the WNBA...

1) These women are brilliant. They went to D1 schools and paid attention
2) they have degrees. unlike boy NBA they actually came to school to get a degree
3) Well versed because that's what happens when you do the "book learning"

wild how the left gets framed as miserable and joyless when its just endlessly trying to stop the right trashing everything that fosters life and happiness on earth

If it’s one thing I hope regular Americans start to understand, it’s that all this cruelty is possible because the Administration can say it is enforcing a law that makes it possible.

Change the law.

Steve King 9 @SteveKinglA + Follow Wilders understands that culture and demographics are our destiny. We can't restore our civilization with somebody else's babies.

I'm teaching about early 20th century eugenics today and was reminded that 9 years ago Republican Representative Steve King was stripped of his committee assignments by his GOP colleagues for this post that simply states what is now bog standard GOP policy/rhetoric on immigration and "civilization."

Me to Paul Newman’s family at the funeral: may his memory be a dressing

gavin newsom is a very useful weathervane because he believes in nothing save the fact that he should be president

that he's making these noises about israel support should tell you how incredibly over it is for israel within the democratic party going forward

We will throw RFK Jr. in the harbor before we waste a perfectly good iced Dunks.

RFK Jr. wants Dunkin’ to prove drinking its iced coffee is safe - The Boston Globe The warning comes as Kennedy is leaning heavily into his agenda to improve American diets.

This moron has no idea how much of a third rail this is. If he goes through with a public fight with Dunkin he will never live this down. In the words of my people "fuck ya motha."

It’s interesting to see this discussion in another medium because yes, one of the shorthands for romcom screenwriting is “your protagonist is the villain in someone else’s narrative.”

It’s interesting that Talarico’s religious appeals are framed primarily as a reach across the aisle here.

In his particular case, I think that’s *part* of the effort come the general. But his slogan was “let’s flip some tables” — a theological argument aimed at the Democratic base, not Republicans.

This is what happens when you have a secret police working outside the law with torture camps. www.nj.com/middlesex/20...

Literally, we are so obnoxious you guys

“Oakeshott did not move to Dubai because she was persecuted in the United Kingdom, nor did she immigrate to flee censorship or imprisonment.

She moved, in her own words, for tax reasons, specifically VAT on private schooling - something that makes her, say it with me, an economic migrant.”

Get in suckers we’re doing 1915 again

Would love to see some systematic testing of this, but I would hypothesize that “AI is driving up your electric bill” works better than any other argument against it for persuasion, including “it’s going to take your job” and “it’s hurting the environment”
