Look right into your fire and ask it how it started and it will never tell you. Not that it doesn't know, it just doesn't believe it I believe I also believe life originated from rubbing two beliefs together, there that's two and this is a single-celled campfire

Animated Banshees of Inisherin remake starring Frog and Toad

Frog and Toad Bot @frogandtoadbot.bsky.social · 12h

“Maybe you are right,” said Toad. “Maybe Frog does not want to see me. Maybe he does not want me to be his friend anymore.”

Frog sits off on the distance, an island unto himself.

tried to watch the 'slenderman' movie but i could only see about 25% of it. maybe if your hospital scene is soo dark that viewers can't see the end of a hall you might want to tone it down a bit

The idea that the Reconstruction Amendments were for everybody is asinine.

They’re all lives matter-ing Reconstruction.

Y'all, I went to the movies tonight and 2 guys TALKED THROUGH THE WHOLE MOVIE, yelling racial + misogynistic slurs at the screen. So I wrote about it and the rise of the Plague of Entitled Men who are everywhere now, emboldened and multiplying in terrifying numbers. Read it at LaneMoore.Substack.com

White background with a quote about how the Trump presidency has brought out misogyny and violence, with a link to Lane's substack

Why This Nineties High School Punk Band Is Suddenly Bigger Than Ever

Everyone Asked About You broke up and went about their lives. Nearly three decades later, they're touring the U.S. thanks to some Japanese fans unearthing their old teenage music.

Let me get this straight.

They could have kept premiums from doubling, but they gave the wealthy tax cuts instead.

Then they shielded billionaires from being named in the Epstein files.

And now they shut down the government instead of giving us healthcare and the Epstein list.

i like that our government was based upon the idea that you couldn't blindly trust people, only for all their imagination the founders had no idea how bad it could be

Why the next generation of mRNA vaccines is set to be even better

Scientists are designing mRNA vaccines to produce virus-like nanoparticles, which should lead to a more robust immune response with even fewer side effects than either of these immunisation approaches...

If we don't get the ACA healthcare subsidies restored in a government funding agreement now, we'll never get them.

Millions of people will see their premiums double—all because Republicans gave billionaires tax breaks instead of giving us our healthcare.

Hold the line.
