I remember when I worked on cape cod people would take out these tiny boats packed to the brim to get close to whales (I never went because I have a healthy fear of the things in the sea). I imagine that cruise liners would just be the scaled up version of this for Kaiju.

So every Monday there's a small protest I drive by outside my rep's offices (he sucks). Today I honked.

As an affirmed dog lover, I have a few things to say. (1) Dogs are harder than people admit. They take a lot of work. They need constant exercise and mental stimulation, especially those with working dog heritage of any kind. Dogs are hard.

the uptick in gen-z vs millennial content is 100% manufactured by conservative media owners trying to direct narratives away from how everything sucks bc of conservatives ahead of the midterms and beyond last thing they want is young people being influenced by millennials raging against the system

My mom blows up the family chat with this stuff. My sister is 39 and my nephew is 3. The fact that he can even recognize me (she lives on the opposite side of the country and so I've only seen him a handful of times) is wild! Conservative brain rot is crazy.

... I've always deeply wanted to honk (at both bumper stickers and protests) but the people pleaser in me has been like, "you will upset the other drivers. Do not do this."

No problem: your stuff is amazing. Specifically it was the Jack Burton print (because that is my catnip and I absolutely would have ordered it then).

... I'm asking this out of pure ignorance (because yes I am getting one or two more) but I grabbed a Godzilla print yesterday and was there a restock? Because I swear I didn't see some of the prints in stock then (not a complaint).

... I hate my phrasing here. Better way to put it: Engineers see a lot of black & white everywhere so fascism is appealing in its simplicity. Lawyers see everything in shades of gray so you can argue away the worst of fascism as justified/legal. As always: not all lawyers/engineers.

JD Sullivan @jdsullivan.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
It's the two sides thing (this is VERY simplified and reductive because character limits): Engineers think everything has a right & wrong solution and apply that everywhere. Lawyers both sides an argument. Fun fact: my parents were lawyers and my extended family? Lots of engineers.

Is it truly a crime if you were invited into it? Has this account turned into a fascist state where mom decides what is criminal? Do I chant MORE CRIME MORE CRIME every time there's a gonzo post? Can we truly criminalize free spirit? The answer is yes but also gonzo is just an innocent baby.

Man, I'm having a crash out but: I actually believe that people deserve a baseline of respect before they open their big stupid mouth and apparently libertarians believe that we should just do a murder. I'm so fucking tired.

I hate this so much... and I can't disagree with it. I -HATE- the idea of just tossing people aside but (and this thread is about the libertarian party of NH) what the fuck are we even doing? How can I an Nb pansexual talk to a Trump voter who probably agrees with the shit that was said?

The inherent problem with Canada’s defense strategy (lose instantly and spend the next two decades conducting decentralized guerrilla warfare and terror attacks across the entirety of the United States) is that it sounds insanely violent but also impossible to carry out. It’s really not.

... there's a whole field of non-generational AI out there that's really good at its job, and any scientist would be aware of this, and you're telling me that he decided to ask the shitty coding robot who sometimes moonlights as an even shittier lab assistant? TO MAKE A BIOWEAPON?

The worst part was it was the only store that rented anime, Godzilla, and old school Hong Kong movies and it had a surprisingly huge catalog of them. It was also dirt cheap which was probably why we went there. I think I still have the Godzilla movie I was supposed to return that day somewhere.

I was very, very young and there was this amazing tiny little video store my mom would take me to. One day we went there and she just gave me some cash and told me to pick out what I want. The new guy at the counter yelled at me when I went in: turns out It had turned into a porn store overnight.

Aliens is not better. It's a different approach to the same material: an action movie versus a haunted house tale. Saying one is better than the other is like saying a grilled cheese sandwich is better than a peanut butter and jelly. They're both sandwiches, but with very different goals.

Goodnight from Gordon Lams, increasingly worried about the instructions alleged voices from outer space are giving to his wife. Goodnight from Dora Mills, wondering what sort of man leaks tongues of blue fire every time he sings the Fathom Faith Missal. Goodnight from Hookland.

Okay this isn't specific for your area and is kinda sorta train-adjacent but: find a construction site. I randomly went by some guys fixing a pothole with my nephew once and it turned into a 45 minute stop. If there is heavy machinery you should probably just bring a chair.

Two things are dawning on me: • 1) 99% of media analysis video essayists, right or left, are—to the marrow of their bones—abjectly terrified of ambiguity, paranoid any gap can be seized by the other as ammunition in the culture war. The leftist version is pointing at…

Domestic abuse is the leading cause of mortality worldwide for women between 19 and 44, more than cancer, war, and road traffic accidents. Be shocked, but also try to do something about it. Donate to shelters, support relevant legislation etc.

The last time I hung out with my nephew (who is in fact the cutest nephew) he got irrationally angry that I hadn't shaved. Just poking my face and making angry child noises for a full three or four minutes.

Sadly for me: they already have someone who is going to adopt Tuna Fish despite the fact that she will one day be prominently featured on Nancy Grace.

JD Sullivan @jdsullivan.bsky.social · 11/08/2026
I just volunteered at a friend's shelter and they had a kitten with an emotional support can of tuna fish. I was told don't take it away because Tuna Fish loves it. Her only other love is violence. It was unopened by the way: Tuna Fish just sort of mauls it around the floor when she wants to move.
