Gonna laminate this skeet and send it to all my friends 🖤🖤🖤🥰 Put "the horniest thing I've ever read - The Evan Dorkin" on my tombstone!!!

Evan Dorkin @evandorkin.bsky.social · 3h

So, MOONFLOW by @bitterkarella.bsky.social was fucking wild: a sopping wet nightmare, a psychadelic psilocybin trip, a folk horror splatterfest spurting blood and other bodily fluids. Funny, sad, creepy and crazy. A contact high on nearly every page and probably the horniest thing I've ever read.(1)

A complimentary copy of the new book Moonflow by author Bitter Karella that I was sent. I finished the book last night, it's an extremely wild and trippy horror fantasy that I enjoyed very much.

I wish I had better advice than just distracting yourself til it passes

but maybe a snack and an episode of Hand Tool Rescue could work in the short term

Hard to watch images from war ravaged Portland where capybara, frogs, unicorns and pink dinosaurs are dancing in the middle of the night outside the ICE facility.

There's an idea in some circles that all we have to do to fix healthcare is get rid of the evil insurance companies and all of our problems will be solved.

There is no country on Earth with single-payer healthcare where the average doctor salary is $375,000. Not happening. Something has to give.

Bill McKay @mckay4senate.bsky.social · 1d

The doctor makes $200k a year because they charge thousands of dollars more for a procedure than they should. The health insurance CEO doesn’t want to pay it and tries to dump it on you. You fight with the health insurance over *who* pays the high cost and not *why* the cost is high.

Coonbaya My Lord @powdercuff.bsky.social · 1d

The doctor making 200k a year is not your enemy. The health insurance CEO making millions per year is. Let’s focus up.

Portland doesn’t need the military. Portland has its own defenses.

I don't really care about playing it, but man, what a trailer. Ahri looks beautiful and Ekko is cool as ever.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Mascot work for a 24-hour sandwich shop is a 24/7 calling for Sublo and Tangy Mustard! @aaronlong.bsky.social crafts snappy dialog & superb acting into a painful sitcom about two friends whose costumes & job are their whole lives.

Our heroes Tangy Mustard the pirate parrot and Sublo the hungry sub (actually two guys in mascot costumes) vainly attempt to drum up business by dancing outside the Subpar sandwich shop in the rain as their irritated coworker Katie watches from the doorway in the animated comedy series Sublo and Tangy Mustard by Aaron Long.

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

(RNS) — Last month, the Rev. David Black stood in front of a Chicago-area U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility and spread his arms wide. Adorned in all black and wearing a clerical collar, the pastor looked up at a group of masked, heavily armed ICE agents on the roof and began to pray.

“I invited them to repentance,” Black, a minister in the Presbyterian Church (USA), said in an interview. “I basically offered an altar call. I invited them to come and receive that salvation, and be part of the kingdom that is coming.”

But when Black began to lower his arms a few seconds later, the agents responded to his spiritual plea by firing pepper balls, or chemical agents that cause eye irritation and respiratory distress, video footage shows. One struck Black in the head, exploding into a puff of white pepper smoke and forcing him to his knees. Fellow demonstrators rushed to his aid, and as the pastor rubbed his face in pain, the agents continued to fire.

“We could hear them laughing,” Black said.

Not to be a buzzkill but it may be heat coming off the hill causing a diffraction layer in the air at the top. A mirage — the lights are real but not where you see them, reflected from lights in the valley on the other side.

They were adamant that it worked, and when I was there it DID work.

That there was no rational reason it *should* work is pretty much immaterial. What’s the alternative — things that don’t work? Already tried! It was at the bottom of the list! 😁

Joe Rosales @joeartguy.bsky.social · 1d

It involved some arm waving, high stepping and hooting. All techs present had to do it together. I don’t remember all the details after so many years but it was at least ten seconds long.

They had a good attitude about it because it always worked.

At my university computer lab when the networked printer would not work for any reason, the last resort was the Happy Printer Dance. This was on the resolution checklist, and was an actual dance the techs were taught. I saw them do it twice “to make the printer happy again.” It worked both times.

neongrey @neongrey.bsky.social · 2d

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

One of the more incredible stories out of LA this year has been how a taco review blog became the best on-the-ground coverage of ICE raids in the city.

They do a dispatch every day, follow-up on the kidnapped people (which almost no media outlet has done), and fact-check government claims.
