it was like they really thought that i wanted to establish a role as the slightly rebellious white guy in their circle, rather than being there to talk shit to their faces.

back 2018ish i was at a longtime friend's party and i knew it was going to mostly be conservatives there, and after several drinks/hours they cornered me about being progressive like, "you don't really believe that shit, though, right?" and i was like, "are you guys trying to get me to fight you?"

"i think i see my dad..."

I believe there is no greater generational constant in USA than the high profile snake oil salesman. I bet historians can document trajectory changes in USA purely based on phenomena & gold rushes engineered by snake oil salesmen. ‘I invented a genie’ guy may be their crowning achievement though.

I can't compete with this. www.npr.org/2026/07/28/n...

Facebook could officially endorse Trump for unlimited presidential terms and the media would still resist calling it a right-wing misinformation outlet

...once a week meaning "one of those a week," not all of them.

i love a good steak, burgers, meatballs, beefy pasta sauce, and used to make them maybe once a week. completely unrelated to climate/health/price just kind of started making more chicken the last couple years. i think mainly because it's more versatile with "whatever i have in my fridge/cupboards."

“boy george admits he used AI to create his new pro-israel song” is now a sentence we can say

that's exactly it. if dems take either of/both the house/senate, they won't be able to pass anything good. obstructing shit is as simple as sitting on their hands. they will, in theory, have basically nothing to do for the next two years other than drag the administration for filth...

just realized that this song synchs up with the calendar this year... the fourth time this century, so far.

haven't seen it, but besides not mentioning wonder (egregious) or davis (perhaps innocent ignorance?), i am here to testify that funkadelic and parliament-funkadelic are absolutely not the same thing... and funkadelic is way better.

in my 20s/early 30s i used to occasionally make that the background on every shared computer at whatever job i was working at the time...

yup. there is a huge difference between "letting" kids have a "care-free experience" (like that's even possible) and "mandating" kids have the kind of experience you want them to. beyond the fact that what's she's doing is bad for *everyone,* even her stated goal is the latter...

if you’re an immigrant and unemployed, you’re a freeloader, but if you’re gainfully employed, you’re stealing someone’s job. They just don’t want these people to exist except as targets for their hatred one way or the other bsky.app/profile/heba...

not that graham didn't bring this upon himself... but holy shit these people have no shame or tact.

i can't stop thinking about this, but i lack the words to really explain how/why i think this is so gross. i guess one part of it is that trump single-handedly getting graham's sister appointed to his seat means his family is going to pretend like this isn't offensive or *extremely* weird...

beyond graham probably having better friends in life: i have a dearest friend/a handful of 1a-level friends. i have never wanted to "duplicate" them in this sense. if there's a service for me, i really hope nobody says, "all he ever wanted was to be just like his friend, brad," because i never have.

Turns out that food companies were only checking their food because the government told them to, which is exactly why we need government regulations.

Here's another example of the noxious trend we identify below: Stephen Miller claiming "all asylum claims" are "fake." What he really means is no asylum seeker is *worth caring about.* It's the same trick Musk uses with "zero" died from USAID cuts. (h/t @lastpositivist.bsky.social @mattortega.com)
