This guy. He's exactly who you picture writing that sentence, isn't he? Like the textbook example of who has this sort of thought.
Professional headshot of Tyler Cowen, a famous right wing economist and columnist. He's a 63 year old white man in a dark blazer and light blue shirt with white pinstripes. He's wearing wire frame glasses with a double bridge and has short gray hair with a large balding spot on the crown of his head, except for a little "island" of longer hair right above his forehead.

I guess I have already encountered this prince
Screenshot of a Bluesky post by Imani Gandy where she is reposting and replying to an account that I already have blocked. She responds, "doubling down on the racism is an interesting choice." In her profile photo she has blonde wavy hair and a red and black shirt on.

Happiest birthdays to my guy! I adore you, Kim. One of the absolute best ever. ❤️
Black and white photo of Kim Thayil playing guitar onstage. He's wearing a graphic tee and his hair is long and hanging in his face and beard, while he looks down at his hands in motion. A color photo of a smiling Kim Thayil seated at an event wearing a black fedora (or similar) and a long-sleeve black button-up. He's holding a clear plastic water bottle in his left hand and a microphone near his mouth in his right. The logo for SiriusXM is visible in the background. His beard is mostly grey, but the moustache portion is still black.

It's still really painful to think about you and I haven't been able to listen to you sing without sobbing in 8 years. I just miss you a lot and I can't seem to accept that you're gone. I'll get there eventually, but hearing your voice will never be the same. Happy Birthday, Chris. 💔🕊️

Good thing this didn't come to me for advice. Because I would ask if I could treat Josie to lunch, high-five her, and maybe be her new bestie.
Screenshot from Slate's Care and Feeding advice column reading: Dear Care and Feeding, My sister "Jasmine" recently got married. The wedding was held in the town Jasmine and I grew up in (where my family and I live). Jasmine and her fiancé, "Tyler," arrived a few days beforehand. On the day before the wedding, they went with most of the family to the county fair. Tyler is hardcore MAGA and was making obnoxious comments about everything from women and LGBTQ+ people to the physical traits and appearance of random passersby. My 13-year-old daughter "Josie" was getting increasingly uncomfortable and angry. Then Tyler spotted the old-school bumper cars ride and challenged Josie and the other older kids and her uncles to ride them, saying he would "kick everyone's ass." They accepted the challenge, and Josie proceeded to destroy him. She rammed him repeatedly until she had him pinned against a wall, and even then, she refused to let up-she kept him cornered until the cars shut down when the ride's time limit expired. Tyler was clearly embarrassed, but that seemed to be the extent of the damage. The next day, however, he could barely move. He had to down some maximum-strength Aleve to get through the ceremony. At the reception, he couldn't dance with Jasmine, his neck and back hurt so much; they had to leave their own party early. And Tyler ended up spending their honeymoon in bed (not in a good way). He saw a doctor in the place where they were honeymooning, who told him he had a severe case of whiplash, prescribed pain medication, and told him to avoid strenuous activity for a month. Screenshot from Slate's Care and Feeding advice column (a continuation of the 1st screenshot) reading: Now Tyler and Jasmine are furious at Josie, and, by extension, me. Jasmine called me and chewed me out during their honeymoon. She said they hold my daughter responsible for ruining both the wedding and the honeymoon and are demanding my husband and I pay for their wedding and honeymoon, plus Tyler's out-of-pocket medical expenses! Jasmine went so far as to say that unless we agreed, we could forget about having them in our lives. I know that Josie did get aggressive, but these were BUMPER CARS! And not even the modern ones that don't do all that much actual bumping. Tyler knew what he was getting into. (Besides, IT WAS HIS IDEA!) There's no way my husband and I are paying for any of what Jasmine is demanding we pay for, and if she wants to make this her hill to die on, that's fine with me. The only thing I'm worried about is Jasmine igniting a family feud, as she is my mother's precious Golden Child. Any thoughts on how to prevent this? -Bumper Car Blitzed BIL

Still miss you so much. ❤️
A black and white photo of Jeff Buckley with his head tilted to his right, looking into the camera. He has a slight smile on his face and his expression is serene. He's wearing a dark colored pork pie or trilby (the top is cut off in the picture so it's hard to be sure) and his face has some light scruff.

Another one! Now, I am top-tier! I'll bet I get an auto-generated rejection letter in a couple weeks. 😭
Screenshot from ChatGPT after I asked if I was qualified for a certain position. The text reads: Recommendation You're not only a qualified applicant but likely a top-tier candidate, especially if your cover letter and interview reflect your organizational strength, editorial sharpness, and adaptability.

This meme was made for moments like this.

FYI, Trumpet is giving birth or just finished giving birth right now. See the den cam for her on that page.

Screenshot from the settings of the Bluesky app, under Accessibility. It shows 2 subheadings: Alt text and Haptics. Under alt text, the option for requiring alt text before posting is set to on. The other option under alt text is displaying larger alt text badges. And the haptics option is disabling haptic feedback. Neither are set to on.

Should be pretty soon, pups usually arrive in April or May. Check out their live webcams on their site. If you're lucky you could catch the birth or at least the pups. I just looked and a handful of them are howling at each other now.

Completely forgot he'd been on L&O. Giggled through the whole scene.

Guess what shit show I won't be going to see. Listen, I fully accept artistic license, but Damon as Odysseus is beyond my ability to imagine. And don't get me started on the costuming here.
Side profile screenshot of Matt Damon as Odysseus in Nolan's upcoming movie. Text reads: "Matt Damon is Odysseus in First Image from Christopher Nolan's 'The Odyssey'"

The recorded version is on Spotify, but I shared a live version recorded at exactly the kind of shows we always went to together. So many memories. I feel like I am drowning in sorrow right now. I love you, dude.

Watched the Gladiator sequel last night and it turns out that my vulgar Latin is still pretty decent when I immediately knew what this said, even though it was on the screen for a nanosecond. I'm sure my professors would be proud.
A still from Gladiator II showing graffiti written on a wall next to a drawing of a person with a crown. It says "IRRUMABO IMPERATORES." There is a mob of cloaked men with lit torches about to walk past it.

After I came out of Target, this thing was next to my car. The looks on people's faces as they walked and drove by was 👩🏻‍🍳😙. A delightful array of derision, amusement, and confusion.

Waited my whole voting life for this moment. I finally got a sticker. 🥹❤️
Red, white, and blue "I Voted" sticker on a dark sage green sweater-covered boob. I drew a red heart around it and added 3 emojis: heart-eyes, party popper, and raising hands.

Had to look up "zios" after seeing someone use it in a context that didn't make sense to me. Honestly didn't know about the reference to Zionists. But we're listing obscure video game characters and an Indian computing test as options but not ITALIAN FOR UNCLE? Didn't even make the list. 😑
Screenshot with this text: "Zio" is a pejorative term for a Zionist, which is someone who supports the existence of a Jewish state in Israel and the right of Jews to self-determination in their historic homeland. Antisemites often use "Zio" or "Zionist" as a shorthand for "Jew". "Zio" may also refer to: • A prefecture in southern Togo • A 3G smartphone by Kyocera • A crossover vehicle sold in Japan by Toyota • A character in the video game Phantasy Star IV • The Zonal Informatics Olympiad of the Indian Computing Olympiad • A Japanese tokusatsu drama series called Kamen Rider Zi-O • A reconstructed name for the Proto-Germanic god Tiwaz • The name of an Australian politician, Laurie Zio

Happy 6th anniversary to the time my mom and I went to a Bills game and after an especially disappointing play, a dildo was immediately launched from behind us, sailed over our heads, and landed in the end zone, bouncing once. It was the very definition of Bills fandom.
Picture of a white-skinned dildo lying in the Buffalo Bills end zone. There are photographers in the foreground and a ref in the background walking toward it. It's circled in red and a laughing emoji is next to it.

The person responsible for this ad is a Tengen fan and you won't convince me otherwise.

Shop polish. Picture of Tengen Uzui's hand showing his alternately painted nails of pinkish red and chartreuse.
