Probably because it would involve confronting that you politely laughed at these jokes, slinked away uncomfortably rather than confront them, or maybe even joined in. Easier to pretend they only exist in the shadows and you’re shocked & aghast when this shit comes out

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

People still think they don’t need to read black thinkers to do their work. They’re wrong and their work is worse for it.

The really funny thing is that this was literally the third question on the scavenger hunt Zohran did a few weeks ago! It's not obscure knowledge at all!

You sit, according to the polls, on the cusp of a historic political victory. You would be the youngest mayor in a century. You’d be New York City’s first Muslim mayor. You’d be its first democratic socialist mayor.

I wouldn’t actually be the first democratic socialist mayor.

Who would it be?

David Dinkins was a member of D.S.A., he identified also as a democratic socialist.

Thank you for the correction.

Very welcome.

And that's kinda the only mystery left about the Original Dragon, I feel?

Now, that's not to say we can't have a Unova Legends game. Because we have ANOTHER mystery to answer:

Why is there a desert ruins in the middle of New York City?

No, seriously. Why? Explore that. Literally.

Syogren @syogren.bsky.social · 2h

My hot take on a Pokemon Legends game set in Unova is that...as much as I'd love one, it really CAN'T be about the original dragon.

The whole point of the original dragon, I feel, is that we don't know what it looks like. Revealing what it looks like cheapens it.

Once it was there. Now it's not.

“Young adults aren’t having enough kids” bro I’m employed full-time with a damn PhD and I’m struggling to afford both groceries and rent.

I love kids but I can barely afford my pets.

Want us to have kids? Try UBI, rent control, universal healthcare, cheaper child care.

Paypal is now playing harder ball on artists, going after anyone even mentioning commissions.

Artists, send invoices. That way, no one has to say what the money is for on Paypal's paper trail.

Customers, SAY NOTHING about commissions. Just say "thanks" on donos.

Everyone: INCREASE THE CALLS.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Basma. Basma was a makeup artist and did eyelash extensions before the war. She lost her home and the tower she worked in was recently destroyed. She has 4 children Tulin, 9, Malak, 7, Kamal, 5 and baby Maryam who is just 9 months old.

This is my character from a Star Wars tabletop, Odell! Their preferred Force technique is Misdirect, making them the prime candidate for this particular meme reference-
