Definitely looks lorez, like an updated Leisure Suit Larry title screen.

Perhaps they are daunted by the certainty with which you flaunt your vaulting prowess? Perhaps it maketh them feel small and limp of pole?

And ICE is gonna come bust down your door
Try to build a house no one builds no more
But I got a telephone
Kids are all scared and all alone
The bars stopped bumping, the rock stopped rolling
The middlе fingers rising, and it won't stop showing
Got some bad news
Thе fading of the red, white and blue

Horizon to horizon, nothing but mistakes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ @pewtergod.bsky.social · 1d

My sister in Nebraska sent me this.
Damn! #ZackBryan #ICE

TIER ONE: Americans who Donald Trump pedophiled with: They get shielded from prosecution for the crimes they did commit.

TIER TWO: Americans who brought Donald to justice for the crimes he did commit, they get prosecuted as revenge even if they committed no crimes whatsoever.

If you don't do something about American Landlord Incorporated, any new homes that get built are going to be snatched up by corporate and rented back to people at exorbitant rates, or kept vacant to drive up demand and thus prices.

How are those tariffs going to help the cost of building materials?

So she shot and killed her dog, and a goat, and skimmed money off a nonprofit like it’s no big deal.

Sure glad she’s not in a position of more power now!

Wait, you mean…?!

Love having Gary Oldman’s Jackson Lamb back with his crew of misfits. It’s a tremendous amount of fun! #SlowHorses #SloughHouse #Schlachthof

I love a bread company that achieves its stated promise of "30% less carbs per slice" by making the slices 30% smaller than other bread maker's slices. Perhaps love is too strong a word...*

Stephen R. Smith @stephensmith.bsky.social · 18h

Indeed it is!

Stephen R. Smith @stephensmith.bsky.social · 18h

Why? Does it add value? Does it clarify or make it better? Then don’t.

Let nothing be called natural in an age of bloody confusion, ordered disorder, planned caprice, and dehumanised humanity, lest all things be held unalterable!

I read “great lyricist”, and missed or ignored the living part, but you’re absolutely and sadly correct.

Sometimes the internet lets you connect, even in passing, with people you'd never have that opportunity with any other way, and that's kind of amazing.

I don't like walking around this old and empty house
So hold my hand, I'll walk with you my dear
The stairs creak as you sleep
It's keeping me awake
It's the house telling you to close your eyes
And some days I can't even dress myself
It's killing me to see you this way
