sold a large quantity of lumber to a guy who looked exactly like J Mascis but I know it wasn't him because this guy was super friendly and chatty

ok thanks for letting me know

you're confusing me with someone who has some kind of influence? I have very few followers on here and like 5 people who listen to me irl

also this is the same logic as "I support universal healthcare but I can't vote for a politician who demands it bc it might alienate an imaginary moderate voter"

say this to sam altman

AI lovers and especially ceos constantly lie in support of AI so as an AI hater I don't have to worry about what's true about AI other than that AI sucks and is bad and everyone who loves it is stupid

Quick question: During your years in congress, what has your party done to limit oil executives' political influence or environmental destruction?

All I've seen from you and Sen Baldwin is "this war is raising prices for Wisconsinites/costing tax dollars." Do you have any other reasons for opposing the war? Would you support it if gas prices were going down? Do any democrats still have any principles that aren't tied to money?

I think there is something to explore that many nations at the WBC have come showing what they love about their country (dancing, celebration, tradition) to represent the people while the American team has shown up representing and only celebrating the military

the second reason they can't allow violent threats toward the ultrarich on any platform is within a day that's all that would be on there. but of course there's also the first reason

I don’t think Trump and his people are capable of engineering “distractions,” I think the mind-numbing chaos we see every day is straightforwardly the result of giving the dumbest, cruelest, most corrupt, most selfish people of a generation near-unmitigated power

this is a wonderful lunch that I've enjoyed many times. but you have to be ready for the coworkers who claim that microwaving sauerkraut is even worse than microwaving fish. these people have never felt joy, have nothing to offer, and should be be ignored.

for me it's 1/4 my dear irl friends who I love and respect 1/4 history podcasts with an explicit leftist bias 1/4 lord of the rings audiobook (Rob Inglis version) 1/8 irl randos at dive bars 1/8 blusesky

when the kwik trip manager asked if I found everything I wanted and I asked why they were always out of regular red bull and he said because people drink it too much

Tammy do you think Donald Trump even knows who you are? If he's not threatening you and calling you names on truth social it means you're not doing anything to hurt him. Fight harder.

This would be a great fact to share during a presidential campaign. Any ideas for what a congressman might be able to do about the current problems and/or the current president?

When dems have the majority, republicans are somehow able to get a lot of what they want or at least obstruct the process enough to keep dems from getting much of what they want. When the gop has the majority, dems are powerless to do anything except wait for the next election. Make it make sense.

brb I have to go on r/music to ask "is this album worth a listen" and then spend more time reading and responding to comments than it would take to listen to the album

reading reviews or criticism is fine obviously but the phrasing "is this worth it" is a symptom of the same sick drive for hyperefficient cultural experience that gave us ai "art". engaging with something and deciding it sucks is an important part of the human experience! you didn't waste your time!

getting more and more aggravated every time I see somebody ask online about a piece of media or art "is this worth it?" is this book worth the money? is this album worth my time? is this game worth the storage space? buddy there's really only one way to find out and unfortunately it's the hard way!

This is also why it's funny when people get worked up about who the 4th or 5th starter or swingman should be. Every guy who's a current possibility for those roles will pitch significant big league innings at some point this year if he's healthy.

What will it take for you to demand impeachment and prosecution?

came down with a nasty cold/cough type thing and tested negative for covid. feels almost quaint. a throwback to a bygone era. might wear some vintage 2018 fashion to complete the ensemble. spin some Beach House.

jesus christ Tammy if you still think he's ever going to follow the law you should resign so we can have a senator who shares the same reality as the rest of us

My entire personal philosophy can be summed up with this tweet and this Brian Eno quote. No punchline

Mark I know you have a safe seat and I'm not a political consultant but with the election coming up it would be nice of you to do your constituents the courtesy of saying what you think should be done about anything rather than these constant "wow this is bad" posts

he's been illegally killing people, building concentration camps, raiding the treasury, accepting bribes, assaulting women and children, starting wars... why are you and your colleagues ignoring all of that and focusing on the price of groceries?

bluesky is mostly a website for journalists to argue with each other about who is doing journalism correctly. the rest of us posting our little jokes or cat pics is just filler.

Our planet is the native home of Fire, which cultivates trees for the oxygen it needs to survive. Everything else that happens here is a byproduct

This is how I feel about fireflies. That a living creature can create light at all, and then that it seems like it should be something I can only see in a documentary about a rain forest and not in my backyard.
