I feel like they all run everything they write through ChatGPT now to make it sound like a Trump tweet. the random capitals, the syntax. this feels like he wrote it for MAGA and not to persuade a court

that deep, blue, bottomless soul, pervading mankind and nature

no one has ever written a more For Me Specifically book than Cat Sebastian’s STAR SHIPPED, which my Kirk/Spock book club is reading and currently losing our minds it’s SO GOOD you guys

Also wild how many people cite this moment as their turning point against Obama.

Again, people were very sure that the elite institutions and the people within them were totally committed to racial equity as a plot against economic equality. Multiple people paid to think and write advanced this idea.

This is why I have no patience for the pose of “no one wants to say the cops are good but I’ll be the brave person to do it,” it’s annoying and untrue.

What Georgetown Law Professor Randy Barnett is referencing here is Obama's 2012 statement that, if he had a son, he'd look like Trayvon Martin Feels absurd that a prestigious law prof is out here making posts with layers to the disgustingness!

sharks also are the invariable outriders of all slave ships crossing the Atlantic, systematically trotting alongside, to be handy in case a parcel is to be carried anywhere, or a dead slave to be decently buried

This is remarkable in its "Nope, we're not doing this again" lighthearted dismissiveness. Between this and Hakeem Jeffries's statement that Karoline Leavitt can "get lost," today felt like a pivot to a flat refusal to cede even a single day of the news cycle to Trump's manifest bullshit.

think this is in contention for "evergreen post"

The Artemis missions are about everything except the last thing, which is just a thing they say

Just purely from a craft standpoint, Trump’s speechwriter must be unable to write a reasonable sounding sentence anymore. Too much practice writing batshit Truth Social posts.

I walked nearly 16,000 steps today so I wonder if that will help me sleep faster despite being back on ADHD meds

When doing research for Burn It Down, my book on patterns of exploitation & abuse in entertainment, it was sobering--no, demoralizing--to read, every few years (for *decades*) a "Scott Rudin in a changed man" feature. Relying on Rudin & people who wanted to do business with him for that narrative.

Starting to wonder if people have confused my mentions for the actual Maine primary ballot

Someone responded to something I said on here today by citing Revelations. If you want to litter my mentions with unoriginal despair, quote some Cormac McCarthy or something. Show me you've read something good.

The border wall along the Rio Grande has been reconceived as a ballroom adjoining the president’s living quarters with la-z-boy recliner-toilets and gilded HD monitors on every surface showing Hannity and all sports predominately played by white people. We’re pretty sure taxpayers are gonna love it

Just checked stonk, stonk says ship normal now

So to sum it up, I as a Black Jew who is at risk during the ongoing Gestapo kidnappings in Maine: — am not allowed to criticize Janet Mills who refused to sign anti-ICE legislation — am not allowed to make assessments based on polling — am required to *canvas* for a low-chance candidate ok

now then, go and preach to ’em!

what if I go back to buying albums on iTunes and using an iPod from 20 years ago out of spite

This Magic-Pistons game has featured some breathtaking shotmissing.

I would love to ask Seal: "F/M/K...my power, my pleasure, my pain."

Oh no! How will we survive without people who don’t care about us?

camouflage in my heart I know that U would rather be with the A than with the O

Max is very concerned.

In a world where everyone is 12 an elected rep is really out here declaring she's tabling a whole tax cut bill for them because they let her sit in the big car and press the siren button

wait till you hear what Usha's astrologer says

Y’all be doing too much in my mentions

my book is still on sale on most audiobook platforms, including Libro.fm!

as my friend @caehawksmooredits.bsky.social will attest, it is purely a term of endearment

This coming Saturday, @roxanegay.bsky.social invited Kimberle Crenshaw, Mary H. K. Choi, Lauren Hough, Mira Jacob, Savola Nolan, Kelly Sundberg and me to join her for this conference on writing about your life at Rutgers Newark. Join us if you can. ce-catalog.rutgers.edu/coursedispla...

By fury they mean I've not heard a word on the subject from a local before this

if this strait doesn't open soon half of Asia is going to be as hostile to the US as they think Iran is

just the worst way to play Oblivion

nothing more "we had a real country once" than knowing that a burger chain ran with a mascot called "Evil Grimace." ban focus groups and bring back the guy at the meeting who sells all the ad men on his fever dream

Well, at least my dog has no idea what a ballroom is

I feel like every time I look at this dog he is bigger. How is that possible. He is not even nine weeks yet and he seems enormous.

This is such a dipshit post to out in the mentions of a Black Jew who actually lives in the area and before you put any more false words in my mouth let me tell you the only ones you need to hear from me: go fuck yourself

Let me clarify: No matter how smart you are, you will never, ever bring me around to your way of thinking if your way of thinking is “don’t bother pointing out when things said by elected officials don’t make any logical sense.” It’s no bother. I enjoy it. I could do it all day.

Cricket solves for the fans fighting each other for the ball problem by just making everyone give the ball back and then they keep playing with it because fuck you why should we pay for a new ball because you won't get your own

if clips of adults snatching baseballs from kids and handing baseballs to kids were banned, there would be like 3 baseball videos left

they are elected officials who think they have hereditary titles

This … does not make sense. If you choose to go off-campus, you cannot take your secure ballroom with you. Unless it’s one of those folding ballrooms, like a dog crate.

do I just not understand where the east wing of the White House is located

Great candid of the amazing Evelynn Hammonds ♥️♥️♥️♥️

Do it and no one gets hurt.

Tickets just went on sale for my 5/27 event in London with @palfest.bsky.social www.southbankcentre.co.uk/whats-on/mol... My events have been selling out fast, so get yours before they're gone

your moment of... chipmunk

Fun exploring central Oregon with @sallyfisherprice.bsky.social today.

So I don't really understand the "delivery insurance" that keeps getting tacked on to various online orders, which promises to make sure that my order gets delivered. Isn't that...already not my responsibility?

...NOTHING? are you sure about that? surely off the top of your head you can think of at least a few things

your second moment of calm

the evil-blazing diamond, once the divinest symbol of the crystal skies, looks like some crown-jewel stolen from the King of Hell

I must conclude based on this story that these investors simply could not tell one black man apart from another. www.al.com/alabamafootb...

I think this is extremely funny because if you think ol FN ever said anything of the sort, you do not understand him at all

CJ Cherryh has announced retirement, everyone, raise your cups to a legend of the game. Thank you for your service www.facebook.com/groups/Balti...

a pox on every dry cleaner that uses safety pins to tag clothing

I'm biotic and it supports me so by definition it is pro biotic

What is even happening

Why does the broadcast have Triple J and Ja looking like an unhealthy couple?!

Somehow this skeet got me into some BlueSky vs Mastodon gang warfare and I’m like ???

As Gore Vidal apparently actually said on being informed of Truman Capote’s death: Good career move.

probably a good sign for my marriage and a not nearly as good a one for my game that my wife is who let me know the last two times someone was hitting on me

I’m reading The Age of Innocence for the first time and I regret to report that New York seems to have always been exactly the same as it is now

We got Dawgs in…New Hampshire?

regarding the recent posts by rep. marie glusenkamp perez,

I'm so upset I didn't think of this

Over four thousand reposts of a fake Nietzsche quote. Good job, everyone.

Signed Southern Reach copies now at Paulina Springs bookstore in Sisters, Oregon.

Meanwhile, speaking of Irving, I remember finally figuring out what the joke in In my coat? In your vest. In my shoes? In your hat. was. I think perhaps Mother Dreyer had to explain it to me.

Going back on ADHD meds means lack of appetite from increased focus on other stuff, so I have to make a conscious effort to cook and eat even if I don't feel hungry, otherwise I'll suffer later. I mitigate this by making things I really enjoy so I'll want to eat them anyway, and larger portions.

Got to see some old friends today!

Suzanne Collins is one of the most underrated writers of the generation

this man's bladder is going to explode on live TV and his whole obituary is going to be a manning angrily blaming him for stealing Arch's big TV moment

It is funny watching people respond to the idea people don’t have powdered sugar on hand when they want a breakfast strudel with “well if you have a food processor you can make some” like...

One earnest and sincere question I have for folks who position the restoration of "the social contract" as the way out of this: How can you restore a social contract among people who no longer experience a shared reality? This is not snark. I'm asking.

Are you a bookseller or indie bookstore customer having trouble getting HERE WHERE WE LIVE IS OUR COUNTRY due to stocking issues? DM me with the name and location of the store, the date you had these issues, and any other details I’m compiling reports for my publisher

People genuinely, seriously, think it’s more practical to suggest someone does a powdered sugar reduction rather than expect damn Kraft provides an adequate amount of glaze.

Fine,I'll fight michael tracey

the 1870s: “we’re so back”

After a hard day of killing people, it makes sense to let them kick back with a tax break

tmw you forgot a meeting and scrambled to log on like 3 seconds before then waited 15 min and left because everyone else also forgot the meeting

previous to that connexion, the short-warp goes through sundry mystifications too tedious to detail

I've read a lot of disturbing articles about how AI fucks with people's minds, and Jesus fucking Christ, this is one of the worst cases I've seen. The people profiting from this are our enemies and must be plainly understood as such.

this is an incredible plot, I need a feature film

Every morning I’m charged $20 for even thinking about a grocery store, which is why I cannot live without a ballroom

I’ve actually eaten stale powdered sugar, it’s not the same.

It goes stale very quickly all things considered.

I too am willing to give you a free ride to work since apparently thats all it takes for a special tax rebate from you

I relatively recently noticed for the first time that Irving Berlin immediately follows Folks are dumb where I come from They ain't had any learnin' with Folks like us could never fuss With school and books and learnin' and it's bothering the hell out of me.

three years on bluesky, two bloomfs met in person, one i hooked up with, and zero crashouts

!!! Like bro, you expect me to have some “confectioners' sugar” lying around?! They’ve locked down the CeraVe at my grocery store.

I have a better idea, let Skenes throw 1000 pitches at me and if one isnt a strike I get 100 million

Windows update

in my experience some 90% of "spot the AI" tips videos are people who don't know how to use grammar and punctuation thinking you must be a machine if you do

Julie Brown is a hero to everyone who was ever sexually assaulted. Michael Tracey could be a pig if he dressed better and took a shower. Don’t know that any more than that needs to be said

to be fair link rot long predates AI and NYC music history is not archived very well in general, but also yes search has been degraded

I hate talking about the ballroom bc I don't give a fuck about the White House and nothing there is sacred to me, but it feels obvious to me that allowing an authoritarian, who attempted a coup the last time he lost an election, to build a "top secret" military complex under the WH is a bad idea.

For a damn toaster strudel!
