Those were the days. Remember when we owned, say, adobe photoshop or premiere?

Subscriptions make me sad.

@skinnylatte

These two awesome ladies got the wedding they must have waited for so long. That makes me really happy.

@molly0xfff

They can cry but we won’t let them take it. Silly billionaires, go fight over who gets to carve up TikTok.

@molly0xfff

Is it once again leopards eating faces time?

@dalias

Yep.

I suspect we also just don’t have the requisite fandoms.

I see that the StarTrek fandom is somewhat represented here, but many other things, anime, games, music, etc. just doesn’t seem to have that same reach or critical mass (yet, I hope).

Whimsy. We need more whimsy!

More shitposting.

The “kids” in my circle watch Dungeon Meshi, Jujutsu Kaisen, and Arcane and I keep asking “who’s that? What’s that?”

And I realize I haven’t kept up at all with new anime. Oh wait, they’re also into Frieren, I forgot.

@skinnylatte @dicenbuttons

Agreed! That’s my current brand of decaf earl grey actually.

@mekkaokereke

All their policing boiled down to the willingness of a witness to come forward.

Interesting enough, a lot of the discourse we see online indicates that people wouldn’t have wanted to come forward.

Those are the dynamics that can make or break an investigation like that.

@skinnylatte

That’s just the worst. What an absolute muppet.

@mekkaokereke

We kept cooking over the weekend and now there are more leftovers. They’ve multiplied!

@inthehands @billyjoebowers

I like that. Save the true punch, in whichever form, for the fash.

@inthehands

I am thinking now is a good time for checking that mutual aid hashtag.

I’m also hoping to crowdsource information on businesses to avoid/ and others to frequent for ethical reasons. (Republican donors are on my avoid list)

A good/ bad list, if you will.

That might be handy in the future for further action. I notice that we all know businesses that are small and that we want to support, but we don’t necessarily tell each other about it and then everyone duplicates their research

@mekkaokereke

So true!
On that note: I found it pretty difficult to find information about candidates for our school district.

I guess that is a good thing, in a way, because nobody has done anything demonstrably crazy, but I wish I knew more. I am going by one article and two websites (2 candidates have a personal website).

City council was easier. We have some obvious anti-housing candidates, and they’re spicy, so they stick out.

@inthehands

Could we tell him to ignore all of Thiel’s previous instructions?

@thomasfuchs

It’s so weird and it’s pretty derivative, too. We’ve already had artists selling bodily emissions (feces, actually) in the sixties, I think.

@thomasfuchs

I wish I was the last one, because then I’d have a trust fund, but alas, no.

They don’t have me in there, and they won’t see me coming, lol.

@thomasfuchs

I can’t help it, this is pretty funny.

What do they want in a campaign rally? A dirge?

The elves lament for the fall of Gandalf, so sad and raw that Legolas refuses to translate them?

We know the stakes, and we’re still laughing, because the mangas make it so darned easy by being so creepy and outdated.

That’s actually a pretty good puzzle:

@thomasfuchs

Every time I see Vance’s little round face, I’m reminded of how weird and creepy he is.

His whole “you must stay in unhappy and violent marriages” but pairs really well with his “no abortion even for rape.”

I feel sorry for the couch and the dolphin.

@thomasfuchs

lol!

I’m having some Schadenfreude in my coffee today, as a treat.

@thomasfuchs

That tweet proves to me that journalists have treated Trump with kids gloves like a dainty little flower all this time before.

He’s not used the the ittiest bit of actual, real questions that might hold him accountable.

How terrible for a politician to be held accountable! Oh! Oh!

Trump is incredibly whiny. My god.
