As a 10 year old I’d grab my sister’s hand and slap her with it, saying stop hitting yourself, stop hitting yourself. The day I stopped my parents bought me a gun for being a peacemaker.

Trump, nodding along when not nodding off: “yes exactly.”

I’m not sure any politician right of Bernie Sanders advocates for this kind of police accountability and transparency. From the feds down to Mayberry.

Yeah in v.2 they patched out the Reflection Conundrum and initiated a 9-step build crafting system called Executor’s Liability. Gaming hasn’t been the same since.

I’m gonna keep making up gaming stuff bc these are sick band names.

I can remember stacking hamburgers and making a bunny-shaped rapping guy dance.

Now game titles are longer than my weak college papers that I wanted to make sound impressive in advance.

He looks simultaneously like the one guy in high school that’s still wearing a black trench coat after Columbine AND like he’s been sleeping in a coffin surrounded by Eastern European dirt for several centuries.

No matter what age he is he always looks like the roughest possible version of it.

Oh and that’s why urine comes out of the vagina hole, also a medical term I learned on Discord and puke-chan

I, a man, assume that’s what ovaries do and I will argue with you about it all day. Let me change my pfp to a frog real quick and we’ll get started.

I would spend Friday afternoon pulling quotes from books at the library and then assembling them into critical arguments in two hours *while* using the words “cromulent” and “embiggins” at least once per class per semester, then party all weekend.

They invited me to grad school. In English.

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.
You people couldn't hang with real slackers.

a thing i've been thinking about a lot is how, when i started researching my book (2016), "antifa" was the bogeyman of neo-nazis. now it's the bogeyman of the white house. the math here isn't hard to do.

Well, they can, they just try not to say it plainly.

Ah yes, Game of Thrones, the show that repeatedly showed the folly of cooperation and the effectiveness of isolation and ethnic purity.

Or they’re doing exactly what they want to do, knowing a corrupt SCOTUS and a partisan DOJ won’t give a damn.

I got disabled 8+ years ago, forced to lie down all day. Went deep into Destiny. I feel you: I got a half dozen homies who would stop what they’re doing to help, and vice versa, because we spent time together shooting aliens in the head.

One called 911 from 1500 miles away the day I died. He knew.

Declaring war on Americans is the Constitution’s second definition of treason, after aiding the enemy.

Nathan Kalman-Lamb @nkalamb.bsky.social · 1d

This is truly horrifying.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach…with Antifa."

When Zionists try and argue, I always ask “define Settler in this context.”

Not a single one has ever addressed the question.
