I took karate for 6 months when I was 8 and got my yellow belt. I remember every single move so keep it respectful. Darwin (my buddy) in the banner. He/him.

His name at the kill shelter was Jacob, the foster tried to change his name to Snoopy, but no one knew what his name was 3 weeks before I got him so I went my own way. He's a beagle, so he's named after the guy on the boat of the same name.

Watching a lot of horror movies this season and I think, for me, the worst part about being brutally murdered by a supernatural entity is that I wouldn't get to be all smug about being right to the friends/family/cops who didn't believe me.

Why isn’t bell hooks’s writing around men and love not seen as a progressive text on how men can get laid, i.e., form healthy romantic relationships with people in their lives?

OK, this is wild.
In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them.
It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*.
What the HELL?

Bullshit Jobs is truly one of the worst books ever written, not just for the abominable influence it’s had on the world (the worst since The Population Bomb in this respect) but because of how incredibly poorly written it is

It's funny thinking back to the argument that Dems couldn't get rid of the filibuster when they were in power because they'd miss it once the GOP was in power.

It's remarkable to me though how many still can't see, even if they acknowledge this in reflective moments, they essentially organise their political life so much around resisting the smug moralists they are de facto agents aiding the political project of the authoritarian right. Bad centrist habit.

I'm currently watching the new season of Invincible and have been pretty good about figuring out who the voices belonged to so far in the series. I don't know what was wrong but it just hit me at the end of episode 4 that the narrator was @pftompkins.bsky.social. Yet another reason to watch.

The US airplane saunters up to the mic during Karaoke Night at the Golden Palm, a mischievous gleam in its eye. A familiar opening melody starts to play over the speakers. The US airplane belts out, "Tell me if you think it'd be alright..." The rest of the line is drowned out as the crowd goes wild.

The phenomenon of “leftist language policing” is 99% a product of centrists whining about it constantly. I almost never encounter it in real life and requests for vocabulary updates are typically non-binding guidelines for formal written documents.
This take is worth what you paid for it, but I think the language policing stuff has outsized political significance.

Being a kid is raging against the injustice committed against Dr. Frankenfurter by Riffraff. Being an adult is recognizing that they committed several crimes including murder. Being a grown up is realizing ACAB and if you don't kill the cop in your head you just love watching beauty die.
