~that 1000 year old immortal you dated when you were a teen, which seems a little weird now that you're almost 30 and have had some therapy!
~discussion of the likelihood that faerie dinosaurs existed???

I realize everyone knows this, but you'll note that what he saw was two survivors trying to flip a boat over.
Which is a thing literally fucking anyone in a shipwreck would do.
The other stuff he said was fanfic he made up about them.

Q: What did you see in the second strike?
Cotton: "I saw two survivors trying to flip a boat -- loaded with drugs, bound for the United States -- back over, so they could stay in the fight."

I don't want to be in an organization that doesn't allow women.
If you ask me to stipulate my assigned gender at birth to be in your club, (a) you're too f'ing nosy and (b) I don't trust you.
Women should be the default not women (AFAB).

Not gonna lie lads, it’s fucking bleak over here.
Trans people can’t fight this on their own, cis women need to start leaving and boycotting these organisations that exclude trans women.
I go where my trans partner goes, if she can’t go I don’t go. We all have to do this.

America does not have capital punishment for selling or smuggling drugs and none of these people were arrested or tried. There could have been mountains of cocaine in open view on the deck of the boats and it still would have been murder of unarmed civilians.
Rand Paul just posted this letter from the Coast Guard confirming that 1/4 of the boats they stop carry no contraband. The likelihood that Hegseth & Bradley ordered the murder of innocent civilians is very high.

There's a couple reasons so many IWW songs are set to the tunes of hymns and one is that the Salvation Army Band would show up and try to stop workers organizing by playing hymns to drown out speeches, so the Wobblies came up with words so they could sing along. SA has been trash all along.
It's that giving time of year again, so this is a reminder that no matter how they try to dress it up, the Salvation Army is not a charity.

Some folks have brought this up in comments, but just saying... maybe we should ACTUALLY PAY ATTENTION to the multitude of studies showing COVID infections (even "mild" ones) cause brain changes and ongoing cognitive decline. We've been letting our young people get COVID over & over & over again.
An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

I don't think that's a real man. I've never heard that name before in my life.
A fun bit I'm considering doing is telling @reenamccarty.bsky.social that every white man on a television show is Paul Dano and see how long it takes for her to call me on it.

Ahem. Sorry. I got a bit overwrought. I meant to say, we must demand the show return for a long-delayed season 4 simply so that I can see an in-universe rendition of Cell Block Tango, as I have some questions.
