News bloopers were the only pure joy left in this world and now they’ve stolen that from us too!

It’d all be so beautiful if it weren’t so tragic but maybe that’s what makes it beautiful?

the market crashing right after all these media mergers have acquired enormous amounts of debt to push the agenda of the guy who crashed the market would be kinda hilarious, tho

The first Peanuts strip by Charles M. Schulz was published on October 2, 1950.

Four black and white panels of a boy and girl sitting on steps. 1st panel: Charlie Brown is approaching and the boy says “Well! Here comes ol’ Charlie Brown!” 2nd panel: As Charlie Brown passes, he says “Good ol’ Charlie Brown…yes, sir!” 3rd panel: “Good ol’ Charlie Brown…” 4th panel: Once Charlie is gone, “How I hate him!”

guy didn't get his peace prize, which he transactionally thought was his ticket into heaven, then got bad news at Walter Reed today and now he's in a "I'm gonna take the world down with me" narcissistic rage

Didn’t win a peace prize today? Well, maybe crashing the economy will make you feel better.

Experimenting with a new concept using @queermedieval.bsky.social’s Portland Frog woodcut. Embracing goofiness as protest.

A poster in green ink on off white paper. In the center is a woodcut style illustration of a protester wearing an inflatable frog costume standing up against two ICE agents. The text above and below reads:

I'm not even a baseball guy and saw that last Phillies play and was like, "Damn. That guy is going to be haunted for the rest of his life about that."

Heh, same. I love stories and storytelling, but it seems to short out something in people, I’m afraid. Especially now that companies have 0 problem with or regulations on adverse effects if it makes money.

Having just had to move back to Texas, I forgot that conservatives' favorite thing in the world is being nosy about other people's business; part of the whole social policing in deference to community hierarchy thing.

As someone who worked in entertainment, I'm starting to see the detrimental role it plays in creating socially acceptable delusion for too many people

This is what I’ve been saying! If I were an unprincipled rightest and couldn’t get a foothold here with rage baiting due to the block/lists, I would create contrarian “blue wave” bots to frustrate and dilute engagement.

Honestly, I think some accounts on here are ops meant to sow division by random drive by scoldings.

I don't know what I'm doing anymore. Where I'm supposed to be. How I'm supposed to be when I'm there not knowing what I don't know. But there's cold comfort that the 21st century version of a fascist doesn't know what they're doing, either, and enforcing plans is supposed to be their whole thing.

Some stories about my friend Kaleb, on the occasion of his funeral:

IT'S JUST DIFFERENT VALLEYS, THAT'S ALL

Kaleb Horton has departed this life, and for those left behind there is nothing that reconciles any part of what’s happened with what should’ve happened. He had a family, grieving now. He had friends,...

Drake sitting there reading about how good the judge thought the song was and how everyone really enjoyed it

The song contains lyrics explicitly accusing Drake of being a pedophile, set to a catchy beat and propulsive
bassline. "Not Like Us" went on to become a cultural sensation.

gotta admit I vastly VASTLY!!! underestimated how many human beings are willing to literally kill other people rather than simply say, "huh, maybe I was wrong"

They should send the national guard in to arrest people who mislabel cat pictures eg an “airplane ears” pic is clearly sonar ears. Go after real problems that real Americans care about.
