the forced self-censorship gibberish we all have to do on social media now is having a devastating effect on the way people communicate with each other. nobody in a healthy society is saying "unalived"

Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

One of the great pleasures of True Grit is the faces everyone makes as they realize nobody has ever verbally destroyed them before like 14-year old Mattie Ross.

Grey-haired clerk seated at desk getting his ass absolutely handed to him by Hailee Steinfeld's character, who is glimpsed from the back seated opposite him.

Matt Damon's pompous Texas Ranger getting cut right down to size by Mattie Ross

Jeff Bridges as Rooster Cogburn getting fully rinsed by Mattie Ross.

Barry Pepper as Lucky Ned Pepper (lol only realizing as I type this the surname connection) somewhat amused at getting wrecked by Mattie Ross.

I did art modelling once and tbh I forget about it until something like this reminds me and I think “oh yeah a classroom full of people saw my ass and junk. There are multiple drawings of my ass and junk in the world”

"you're an art model does that mean you're NAKED?"
"yeah"
"whoa...those lucky artists;" ...buddy.

professorpineapple:

idk who started the idea that life drawing classes have anything sexy going on like. there's at least ten people in the room and we're all tired and covered in charcoal.
the dude in front who's staring at my boobs has been trying to get the shading right for 10 minutes. he's almost out of paint. he is crying.

Some people have suggested that I “need glasses”. No, text is too small and lights just look like that at nighttime

I've always been kind of fascinated by the sheer variety of mustelids, especially with how many different environments evolving into a long, skinny tube was handy. This is a marbled polecat with a range that stretches from the Balkans to northern China.

I have to get up at 6:30am for work 2-3 days a week and my first thought is also "NNNNNGGGGGHHHHHH"

My partner once said that in a better world he'd be a catty entertainment reporter like Joan Rivers and I think about that a lot

seeing a shitty take in a screenshot and finding out i've already blocked the person who said it feels great for the 2 seconds it takes to realise that pressing the "fuck off" button doesn't stop other people pressing the "look at this dipshit" button

I sincerely enjoy this parody RHCP song, perhaps because it captures that essence so well

The concerted effort by billionaires and politicians to manufacture and stoke hatred against us is absolutely the worst part about being trans, no question. but after that I honestly think the second worst thing is people wanting to talk to me about contrapoints

I went there as a kid and the thing that stuck with me is that they’re all like “war bad”, and then as you leave there’s a gift shop where you can buy little stealth bomber toys. Even as a child I thought that was weird

I'm sure there are others but at this point I remain blissfully unaware of them

Ailbhe @toastpoast.bsky.social · Sep 11

In my head they are:
- lil' Benny Shaps (the only one who's name I remember)
- the "prove me wrong" guy
- big head, little face (that's Charlie Kirk!)
- the guy who always looks like he just opened the curtains and saw a dog taking a dump on his front lawn

I gotta be honest once I deleted my twitter I mostly forgot which horrible little debate nerd was which, so it took me a while to recall which one Charlie Kirk was

so much is bad right now but the AI stuff in particular is making me insane. a desperate attempt to smother all human creative labor at an absurd cost to the planet by some of the most short-sighted, rapacious, and pathetic people who have ever lived
