Look, I’m all for questioning the artificial fragrances and how they could be ruining us. To that end, I have long since evolved from Glade and only recently—like in the last year or so—parted ways with febreeze.

But I’m not trying to waft around in French onion soup. Like come on.

Wait, tell me more. If you want. I’m not knowledgeable and I want to hear you out.

Reason 3000 why online age verification laws requiring selfies or IDs to access content online are a BAD IDEA. Your data is not safe.

There’s a kids channel on curiosity stream. I’ve never watched it, but I appreciate that curiosity stream has more enriching content.

They don't know what to do with Miller

I wish the press would get on this; who are his supporters? Noem doesn't appear to be arm in arm with him, Bannon doesn't have the same influence, he's too young to be in there without somebody backing him, who is it??

I don’t think you’re centrist as long as the “nit picky” qualifier doesn’t get into serious values, like questions of whether due process is afforded to everyone.

a lot of people bemoan “purity tests” or nitpicking, but then the nit is whether it’s cool to trash homeless people’s things for an op.

If I say this in a cheerful enough voice, I can make this my daily affirmation, right?

This is so good

Just the coloring alone. This is “Villain Filter.” Looks like it’s a preview for a Batman movie.

Britt @desqatarian.bsky.social · 2d

Silly observation, but telling: look how dark this video is. I mean brightness, etc. This is not a scene capturing superheroes. This is the filter and these are the cuts that are used to underscore the villainous.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.
