The real-time reporting of South Korea today was far easier to follow along on Bluesky than X. It’s these moments that define these platforms. Bluesky really does have the juice.

Letting billionaires loose on the US budget is like, well, Donald Trump running a teen beauty pageant.

Do MAGA trolls get the same thrill when you just quietly block them without acknowledging them at all?

Family Thanksgiving always feels like eternity. Not in the way my family’s unbearable but the fact we eat at 1pm, are drunk by 2pm, & by the time I make it home at 6pm I’m baffled I still have a whole evening to fill & I’m too ramped from the festivities to just go to bed.

Class warfare is the only warfare where one side just hands the guns to the other, who then use them to shoot themselves in the foot.

Seriously though, for all the self serving post election analysis on what Harris should or shouldn't have done, has any major media ran anything noting sociopathic lying was apparently the winning strategy?

Surround yourself with people that listen to your nonsense and useless information, and can laugh with you or at you without being offended.

Taylor Sheridan is such an interesting writer/director because he has these shows that, on the surface, tend to be pretty straightforward, but they're just terrible people doing terrible things and the lowkey criticism is fascinating. But also it IS lowkey so a lot of people miss it?

Just a reminder that there’s an app available for your TV called PBS RETRO where you can watch all sorts of wonderful old pbs shows like Mr. Rogers and Reading Rainbow, you know, in case you might need that sort of energy right now

Every time I hear DJ! KHALED! I am morally obligated to mutter "Doesn't go down on his wife" no matter where I am or who's around me.
As you can imagine, my teenagers are thrilled every time this happens.

My superpower is I can tell whenever the coffee cups in a tv show are empty. Law & Order hasn’t seen a wet cup in 30 years.

Ran into an old classmate from high school who asked if I was going to the high school reunion coming up. It’s like my brother in Christ it’s good to see you but I don’t want to spend my free time surrounded by people from one of the most awkward periods of my life so far.

A LOT of artists are doing Black Friday sales this year. Like, way more than I've seen in years past. That tells me that SO many of us need people buying our art. Please please please buy from artists in the coming weeks and consider us throughout the year when purchasing gifts.
