I don't think this defense will work for Mikey as well as it worked for this goddess.

Edmund Haley died 16 years before his theory about the comment that bears his name returned and proved him right.

Friends, if you're sure you're doing the right thing and you're really really sure, keep doing it.

Truly, that's the most honest answer.

Well, I had to go look. And regret it.

Yeah, look, I won't hang around social media forever because<gestures vaguely>, but I owe Google+ (of all things) a huge debt just for brining me Dan.

Has anything great happened in your life because of social media?

You're always a goddamn riot, but these sniper shots are to die for. 😎👉👉

(That pun happened by accident but I decided you'd want me to leave it in.)

Oh, really, Paycom? Built to last until AI automates you out of a job orrrrr...?

💯!!! My dad had (past tense) a frankly incredible pain tolerance. Wore it like a badge of honor almost my whole life.

Not every major joint has been repaired or replaced at least once, most of them twice. High pain tolerance seems like a bug, not a feature.

Hey @glynniscampbell.bsky.social, I hope you're doing well! I've had three reasons to think of you this week and realized I hate that I lost contact. If you're like to reconnect and hear how you came up in conversation three times in one week, DM me. 😀

Hotblack Desiato @joshuaunruh.bsky.social · 29d

I will NOT. But I *will* laud this as the genius it is.

Devastating. Nobody could recover.

Yesterday: Trans people are murdering right-wing shitheads
Today: What could have turned this nice, white, middle-class boy who is also a right-wing shithead into a killer?

Shame.

Hotblack Desiato @joshuaunruh.bsky.social · Sep 12

How do you people fucking look yourselves in the mirror? Shame on you.

It is. I recognize I'm out of step with the culture. And I'm comfortable here. 😅

It was actually really easy for me to do this within the requirements because I will apparently go to my grave thinking Grunge was A Mistake.

I don't know why I keep being surprised by centrist libs with fundamentally undemocratic ideas.

when a leftist says to a liberal, "you're just like MAGA" what they mean is "you blindly support evil politicians who harm vulnerable groups for their own personal gain"

when a liberal says to a leftist, "you're just like MAGA" what they mean is "you were rude to me on the internet"

Holy shit! I thought I was doing something wrong since I don't know as many Guys as I used to, but it may, in fact, be society's fault!

my father-in-law is a “I know a guy” Guy. sadly all the old Guys are aging out of the Guy Economy. Guys are fundamentally incompatible with Hustle Culture because it’s not about “winning” a deal, it’s about collecting favors and goodwill in a mutually-beneficial cycle. protect your local Guy Economy
