shot from The Simpsons; Homer is slumped dejectedly on the floor of a room in the nuclear power station with one hand stuck in a vending machine selling Crystal Buzz Cola and the other selling candy. a lab coat-wearing scientist stands next to them talking to a firefighter who's holding an axe. in the foreground another firefighter is looking at the scene from behind a line of police tape

isn't it interesting that at some point they added this to the moderation settings, and yet you can say any transphobic shit you want on here and it'll never get this label on it
Moderation setting titled "Unconfirmed", described as "This claim has not been confirmed by a credible source yet."

absolutely bonkers
screenshot of opinion piece in the NY Post on 5 Nov 2025 by Liel Liebovitz, headlined "Zohran Mamdani’s win shows how Jewish groups failed Jews by dismissing antisemitism on the left". article text reads: "For New York’s Jews, these are the worst of times and the best of times. The worst part is obvious: it’s not just that 1 million of our neighbors sauntered to the ballot box and cast their votes for an anti-Semite who missed no opportunity to stand with terrorist sympathizers and Jew-haters; it’s also that our very own communal organizations, groups founded specifically to prevent a movement like Mamdani’s from rising, failed miserably."

yet again rightwingers try to make an image that conveys something bad but end up making something that slaps
today's front page of the New York Post, with a full page image excerpting an old Soviet agitprop painting of a worker in red holding up a hammer and sickle emblem, with Mamdani's head photoshopped onto it (much too large). headline reads "The Red Apple", except the R is backwards, you know, like Russians do right? the letter Я? except that letter is pronounced "ya". "The Yaed Apple" according to the dingdongs at the Post. anyway the subhead reads "On your Marx, get set, Zo! Socialist Mamdani wins race for mayor"

"Of course I voted Cuomo. He was the only bloody one with the age and experience to really understand the needs of this city. Plus I hear that he was quite the hit with the ladies, which is something I can personally relate to, if you catch my drift."

I love @aesthr.com's audio visualizer idea. I'd like to see what I'm listening to as well, so reworked it a bit to get the audio title and artist out of the file and display them:

heard about a new browser called Quiche. turns out it's iOS-only so I'll never use it, but:
- some guy's solo project. having a bus factor of 1 for your primary interface with the internet is a huge risk
- guy's also a prompt fondler

are you even #Remembrancing if you don't have a whole road named for it, with a poppy next to the name, and a big poppy on top? now with added field of crocheted poppies as well. Folkestone truly setting the bar high here @remembrancewatch.bsky.social

the scene from Get Out where an older white man tells the protagonist, a young Black man, that he "would have voted for Obama a third time", except his subtitle is the text of the post being replied to with this image: "give it a rest dude. i've had queer friends since i was at least 5. i wrote under a gay black persona in a zine as a teen in the 60s. i've been the only straight dude in a queer performance art space & teased for it by the performer who i was there to support. i REALLY don't have time for yr BS."

are you in or near California, or do you know someone who is? please share this appeal for an 18-year-old who urgently needs a kidney donor.

I'll vouch for the source: a friend of mine from high school shared this on Facebook, Drake is his friend's son.
a poster titled "Please Help! I Urgently Need a Kidney!" it has a photo of a young person at their 18th birthday party with balloons and a giant card. below it says: "My name is Drake Fields. I am 18 years old. I only have one kidney! My remaining kidney is now in kidney failure! Can you help? Please call: 831-821-3493. Thank you! Please share on social media!"

@catsofyore.bsky.social from a magazine article in 1931. the American writer Sophie Kerr had a cat with an excellent name.

And as I write these words I hear Peerless Percy Perkins on the stairs calling to me anxiously: "Where are you, meow, meow, I'm lonely, I want to be with you, meow, meow!" I answer, "Here I am, Percy," and he comes in happily, waving his long black tail and purring with joy to find me. He leaps upon my desk and gets his play-string from out of my bowl of pencils. He is ready for a game.

when you finally get your hands on the Power Cosmic
black light poster by Jack Kirby. the Silver Surfer is standing over a squat muscular figure wreathed in uncanny flame, saying to him: "Thus, you shall suffer no longer!!" and the other responds "I'm changing--changing!!" the entire image is painted in wavy fields of psychedelic colors - the Surfer is glowing red on a background (space?) of pink, purple, and blue swirls; the changing man is covered in green, yellow, orange and blue flames. all over the image the dark areas are all pure black, picked out in Kirby's iconic black dots. extra text has been added to the image: on the Surfer's chest it says "hrt", and on the changing man's, "me"

hey remember when Pavel Durov, owner of Telegram, announced back in May that he'd entered into a partnership with Musk that Grok would be integrated into Telegram "this summer"? it's October now and he never mentioned it again. seems like someone else fell for some Elon Bullshit lmaooo
A Telegram message reading: 🔥 This summer, Telegram users will gain access to the best AI technology on the market. Elon Musk and I have agreed to a 1-year partnership to bring xAI’s chatbot Grok to our billion+ users and integrate it across all Telegram apps 🤝 💪 This also strengthens Telegram’s financial position: we will receive $300M in cash and equity from xAI, plus 50% of the revenue from xAI subscriptions sold via Telegram 💰 Telegram + Grok = ❤️📈🏆
