Clearly I am too old for a Mariners ALCS game 7. My heart cannot handle this.

To be fair husband is not a sports person at all, much less a baseball person… but his player is also one of my favorite chaos goblins ❤️

I finally figured out how to watch G7 without a cable TV subscription and was telling my husband all about the 1995 playoff series and that I hope Lou Piniella is in the stands tonight.

Turns out one of his D&D players had a warg familiar named Lupin Ella and he completely missed the reference.

It is absolutely wild to me that a Mariners/Cubs World Series is an actually conceivable outcome of this playoff series.

Rachael @r1v3tk1tt3n.bsky.social · 11d

I am so excited to read it! ❤️

I was bummed that they didn’t have the new @chucktingle.bsky.social yet, but I’ll just have to keep an eye out. Also my date was my husband in case any of my IRL friends are confused.

Went out on a date on Monday, dragged him to @thebookloft.bsky.social after (it wasn’t that difficult), and came home with four new friends! All authors I have previously read and enjoyed - @tkingfisher.com, @charliejane.bsky.social, @rfkuang.bsky.social, and @gradyhendrix.bsky.social

This isn't "one bad apple" shit. It never was. This isn't even a collection of rotten apples that has spoiled the other apples.

They were never apples. The fruit was always poison. All of it.

This guy is basically Ben Dreyfuss paying an addict to let him hunt him for sport,but he then monetises it and calls it entertainment to millions of people. Total psychopath.

Content creators tend to think any spectacle is defensible if they can say health and safety concerns have been attended to behind the scenes, but that’s not really it imho. Mr. Beast’s whole thing is that his subjects’ desperation for cash allows him—a wealthier person—to indulge his sadism.

@KillaKreww
MrBeast had a contestant TRAPPED inside a BURNING house to win $500,000 in his new video [link]

@MrBeast
This blew up, if you're curious obviously we had ventilation for the smoke and a kill switch to cut off the fires. We had professionals test this extensively and the guy in the video as stated is a professional stunt man. I take safety more serious than you could ever imagine.

Elon, fresh off attempting to incite race riots in England is now trying to incite pogroms against trans people.

A screenshot of a tweet from Elon Musk (@elonmusk) with the caption “This is a massive problem.” It is a quote tweet of Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog), who wrote: “Anyone who’s been in the trenches fighting these trans militants knows that they are inherently violent. On a level far beyond any other political or ideological faction. Deranged, deeply hateful, angry at themselves and the world. Suicidal. The threat they pose is very serious. …”

A screenshot of a tweet from Elon Musk (@elonmusk) with the caption “Seems likely.” It is a quote tweet of Aesthetica (@Anc_Aesthetics), who wrote: “I am now 100% confident that Charlie’s assassination was carried out by a radical left wing transgender terror cell. Let’s get into the evidence…” Beneath that, a tweet from Brooke Singman (@BrookeSingman) is shown, saying: “EXCLUSIVE: Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson lived with his transgender partner, sources tell me. The individual, who is a male transitioning to a female, is fully cooperating with the FBI. Sources tell me the FBI had texts and other communications between Robinson and the individual that helped FBI authorities solidify that Robinson was indeed the shooter.”

A screenshot of a tweet from Elon Musk (@elonmusk) with the caption “Terrorist cell.” It is a quote tweet of End Wokeness (@EndWokeness), who wrote: “Multiple trans people in the area posted on September 9th that ‘something big will be happening to Charlie Kirk tomorrow.’” The tweet includes a short video clip featuring a man in a dark shirt turning to look back while standing among other people in what looks like an office or police station setting.

A screenshot of a tweet from Elon Musk (@elonmusk) with the caption “Disturbing.” It is a quote tweet of Andy Ngo (@MrAndyNgo), who wrote: “Unmasking ‘Luna’: How I found the evidence confirming that the Charlie Kirk assassin suspect’s alleged lover is trans, anti-Christian and on hormones. Suspect Tyler Robinson allegedly killed Charlie while he was answering a question about trans shooters.”

Question
I'm sick and tired of seeing these thugs terrorize big events and am worried that they will try to interrupt Limp Bizkit's set. My gf (F19) and I (M31) are going to our first Lollapalooza and are concerned about the growing threat around the city

You likely would be, and it’s why we need stuff like UBI and universal healthcare. Turns out people are a lot more productive if they’re not worried about dying if they lose their job
