sapphling: sitting anti-kink posters down in front of a wrestling match and explaining kayfabe to them with the patience of a preschool teacher

sapphling: You see that one? He's called the "heel." He looks mean and says a lot of scary things, but it's not real and he's actually very nice. When he says "I'm going to break you in half" you don't have to be scared because it's pretend. These two talked about this beforehand, and now they're playing pretend together. Can you think of any other situations that might be like this?

sapphling: *screenshot of tag that says
#crying and throwing up when you tell me the undertaker didnt REALLY die and come back to life all those times*
no that part was real

I don't remember off the top of my head. I just know the tint itself takes like five minutes to actually noticibly change, and even then it doesn't do anything to stop light that isn't hitting my eyes from straight ahead.

I have some prescription glasses that are SUPPOSED to change tint to adjust for bright light, but in practice they work far too slowly to actually help at all.

I mean I have an eye condition that means my eyes are always absorbing the maximum amount of light they can and thus hate the sun with a burning passion, but that's just me.

That is genuinely disturbing they would push the protests so far down just to highlight the story of a single pardon case?

The top of two prominent newspapers’ mobile editions right now—and the reason that, despite growing up in New York, I always read @theguardian.com first (and rarely open @nytimes.com):

Political parties must shift immediately and dramatically to the left to avoid alienating these frustrated and abandoned young women. Am I doing this right?

19thnews @19thnews.org · 16h

Our recent poll found that women 28 and younger skew substantially more left than the national average. Nearly 80 percent of Gen Z women want abortion to be legal and seven in 10 want gender-affirming care to be accessible for trans adults.

Gen Z women are the most liberal group in the country

On issues like abortion and gender-affirming care, women 28 and younger skew substantially more left than the national average.

Game devs, always remember two things:

1) If you need a publisher, you'll know. Don't let a silver tongue convince you otherwise.

2) If you do have a publisher, they work for you. You don't work for them.

Mike Bithell @mikebithell.bsky.social · 18h

Look, it’s really straightforward to get a publisher as a new name indie in 2025. Simply do 95% of the work making and marketing your game, and if your metrics are trending towards almost certain success, a publisher will swoop in to promise the remaining 5%, deliver 3%, and collect 75%

notice the general mood of the timeline? how everyone is in a good mood and there’s a lot less misery and dooming? how there’s a lot of “we’re going to beat these assholes”?

anyway that’s why these events are important

I always imagined "indeterminate gender" to mean the researchers took one look at Lugia and went "...no, YOU try and find the junk"

To be fair, "Freaking out about something they just learned about that's actually been around for decades with no issue" is pretty much the TERF motto

I'm starting to suspect this new Pokemon game is finally made for sickos like me.

"I'm sick and tired of this life. I just want to smell Pokemon!"

"*sigh* Another day with being reincarnated as a Pokemon..."

"'Eyes! Aim for the eyes!' Those were my brother's last words..."

"Hey, for Water-type moves, do you think Pokemon use their sweat? Or other bodily fluids?"

A Dratini looks on, with a distinct look of "the fuck?" on his face.

The Dem base is now way, way to the left of its elected representatives, for sure.

Boomer moms are out in the streets begging Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries to get their shit together and fight back.

I think the lib politicians might have a problem if the dsa politicians are dominating the stage at these lib protests. the problem being that the lib representatives suddenly do not look particularly lib

the firehose is public, they can read every one of your stupid posts if they want to

bluesky posts have already been used in court

what you want to avoid is the vicious little groyper running their social media account sending your username to his boss and going “ruin this guy’s life”

If the government wanted to spy on Bluesky users they wouldn't need official accounts to do that, those are only here to get people in trouble for posting dumb shit at them

if you're going to a protest today I wish you luck. The only specific thing I will beg of you is this: don't use milk to wash out tear gas or mace. if you see a street medic with milk, yell at them until they throw it out. do not continue to spread lies about emergency medicine.

Pretty much every single one of these new government accounts is posting rage bait. It's possible (like 100% guaranteed) they are trying to provoke people here on purpose, so don't fall for it. Blockity block block block.
