Watching 87-year-old Joyce Carol Oates windmill dunking on Elon Musk over and over again while he desperately insists that he has read To Kill a Mockingbird, actually (it's about how to kill Mockingbirds, duh) is the funniest goddamn thing I've ever seen

Being back at work after five days off is brutal. It feels like the ending of Goodfellas except I didn't do anything to deserve it

JCO proving what I’ve been saying for years when it comes to engaging with chuds - they don’t care if you think they’re stupid, or hypocritical, or evil (they’ll like it because they hate you). But if you find the way to accurately show how *uncool* they are, you can really really fuck with them.

there's a whole army of centrist freaks on here who think saying no to things that people want makes them the adult in the room even when the things people want are credible macroeconomic policy and basic human rights. literally a toddlers understanding of what being an adult is

This might have been true 20 years ago. Unfortunately it is no longer the case. As the people whose actual memories of war have died, we've replaced sombre remembrance with fascist purity tests and crass celebrations of violence.
One of the most precious things about Remembrance is that it sets no political tests.
It asks only that we "remember", and that we do so in the silence of our own thoughts.
It doesn't dictate what we remember, how we remember or what lessons we draw.
That's between ourselves and our conscience.🧵

At the point where I'm going back to this advice from shirtless Dan Harmon here. This is legitimately solid advice for chiselling your way through a first draft and I need that now more than ever.
I don't know why he's shirtless though

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.
Here's how to turn it off.
