Yeah, the Leafs seem to have an at least five minute stretch were they just forget what they're doing every game. I know it at least applies to the Eagles in Philly because I have seen the meme.

Year after year, coach after coach, no one has been able to drive into the Toronto Maple Leafs that hockey games last sixty minutes and are divided into three twenty periods. Almost every game there's some part of it they forget to show up for.

Presidents don’t own the country.

It doesn’t belong to them.

It’s ours.

Never forget this basic fact.

It’s ours.

Never normalize dictatorial power grabs.

They’re NOT normal.

People are rightly pointing out that Marilyn was abused and exploited. That’s fair; it’s a division t way to treat her memory. But she was also a gifted comedian and the idea that slop will do her talent justice is ridiculous.

I don't know how many times to point out that is absolutely ghoulish and non-consensual and disgusting behavior.
To exploit the image of a dead woman who was also exploited in real life so you can live out your momentary fantasies of "what is possible" with AI is bad science journalism, also.
Sick.

"Lake Superior is a dry stretch of sand, and my electricity bill is so large it has to be expressed as an exponent, but damn if it wasn't worth it to watch a dead woman perform in film with stilted dialogue and a plot that is beyond non-sense."

I think businesses asking people to rate every single experience has furthered this damage. We shouldn't have this many opinions about this many things, and we certainly shouldn't expect other busy people to care if we do.

few ideas have damaged the average psyche more than ‘the customer is always right.’ it should be a little bit humiliating, being a customer. you should walk into any service transaction knowing that the other person, and not you, is in control over whether you get your treats

Having your captain and assistant captain in the box for a five on three at the end of the period is what hockey insiders call "Sub-optimal."

“No Kings” is great , but we really don't get a functioning democracy back until we internalize, bone deep, the instinctive response to this and every other statement like it: “I don’t care what that rich guy thinks.”

Make it your morning affirmation. Say it ten times at the top of every hour.

On your own posts you can mute for everyone. I was gonna let it go because I think you were making good points, but the other person started name calling so I shut it down.

AzAnsel @azansel.bsky.social · 1d

You'll be waiting a while because I am muting the replies of the person you're arguing with. Their attacks got ad hominem and featured a wild misreading of my post. So yeah, I blocked them because I don't need that shit on thanksgiving.

"Big pharma is putting mind control drugs in vaccines" and "Multinational corporations are manipulating law makers to price gouge on life saving medicine." Are both conspiracy theories. But one has way more evidence to back it up, I think a show exploring that dynamic would good and relevant

We talk about how our post truth world made the X files irrelevant. But I think they should have taken a different angle. We don't live in post truth world. Its still out there, somethings are still real, somethings are still not real.

When You Stop Caring: Justice Bath's clerk in the year 1250

The clerk finished recording an entry and began a new one. Suddenly, more information surfaced about the case but there wasn't enough space to write it. What should he do? 🧵1/3

A bald person in a blue tunic is holding both of his hands up in the air as if to say, "I don't know". The image appears in the margins of a 14th-century manuscript.

I guess my point is Atheists then were unwilling to grapple with the misogyny in their ranks, and Atheists now are unwilling acknowledge and address the harms it lead to.
