#thegildedage season finale had everything I could have hoped for, except the absence of Mr. McAllister at Bertha’s ball.

I’m about to start a book. Wish me luck.

"I can't brainstorm without ai" "I can't draw without ai" "I can't write without ai" "Ai summarized it for me cause it's too hard of a read"
So what exactly /can/ you do? Because you sound fucking useless to me

I don’t have the words to express my continued—and now augmented—disappointment in this country.

It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes

Wall Street Journal headline and deck: "New York Shooting Puts Mamdani on the Spot Over Policing Views: The killing of four people in a Midtown office building rattled a city where mass attacks are rare and violent crime has declined."

I have had a @sonyplaystation.bsky.social account for over a decade. My son also has a PSN that I pay for with mine. If either of us are asked for ID, I will cancel both accounts immediately. I don’t NEED to have the time-suck of video games in my life, I CHOOSE to. I can choose differently too.

I 100% agree

I think there is also an argument to be made that they listen but choose not to follow through, opting instead to follow the lobbyist money.

I quote this movie daily. “Comply”

Here’s an idea: put your constituents first for once.

- Prioritize the Fight Against Climate Change
- Break with Israel and AIPAC
- Impeach and Remove Trump
- Raise the minimum wage
- Student Loan Forgiveness

Pick three, run with those agendas, get elected, follow through.

Hey Democrats, if you actually care about winning, and keeping your seats in congress, here is a sure fire way to victory:

- Support of a Free and Independent Palestine
- Universal Healthcare
- Congressional Term Limits
- Supreme Court Justice Term Limits
- Ban Congressional Stock Purchases

What they are doing is reading from the same tired-ass playbook of “vote blue no matter who.”

I’m tired of this bullshit country and these bullshit tech companies. If YouTube thinks I’m going to give them my ID just so I can watch Jacques in the Garden, they can kiss my ass. And Spotify, I will JackSparrow my music before I give you my ID.

Why am I crying? I’ve known how this story ends for decades. You were an amazing man, Uncle Walt.

Congress eliminated public media funding, and the president signed it into law. At a time of deep division, public media brings us together.
