Given that Secretary of Grooming Regs Pete Hegseth trotted out his "no beardos, no fatties" shit again today, I'm going to throw this back onto the timeline.

I have kept pretty quiet this year throughout #MinCup26 but I think now it's time to speak up. Don't get me wrong, I am not going to bad-mouth graphite, I am fond of graphite. My house is full of serious pencils from 8B to 2H. And I respect that graphite has been around for a long time, it is not

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

Ordinarily I wouldn't bother with the Rolling Stone writer (a woman, btw) who says that people who say they never heard of "Choosin' Texas" are just effete snobs, not my circus, but I just feel like saying that this is how Republicans think. The whole "everybody has the same experience and

I am going to repost anyone who says we will need a Truth and Reconciliation Commission, because that's what we are going to need. The damage done is too deep. And first we will have to convince these lukewarm Democrats who don't understand the problem. Or replace them, but time is short.

Once in a while it's good to take a break from the news. It's hard to capture this in ALT-text. It's a video of a brown and whit calf lying in hay and a tiny black and white kitten rubbing on its face and neck and rolling in the hay. The calf licks the kitten a few times.

I don't think this is going to make it to the Trending feed what with current events happening so fast, so I will just bring it to your attention because things that happen slowly also make a difference. JKR voted off the island by people she thought were her friends. In effigy, but still.

I want to use this repost to make the point that when the headline says "Post Office will not Deliver Mailed Ballots in Blue States" that's not really the US Post Office, that's a bunch of Trumpoid saboteurs who have hijacked the US Postal Service in order to dismantle it. The real Postal Service

I suspect many of you have already voted for Gonzo and your other favorite cat accounts, but for those of you who haven't, come on, yes it's beneath your dignity, sure it's meaningless clickbait, I'm just saying you should do it anyway.

Guys, let's take a moment here to celebrate. The right decision was never in doubt, but this is the Roberts Supreme Court we're talking about and they could easily have gone the other way and allowed Trump to decide who gets to vote in this coming election. It's still going to be a bloodbath

When I joined bsky I met and followed lots of furries, they seemed to own the place back then, so maybe some of them will see this notice and spread the word. This Fishtank sounds like seriously bad people.

Not gonna repost or call anyone out but at least half the people answering the "non-LOTR character who would resist the Ring" question are posting gifs with no alt-text and honestly, you people, it's not that hard to add a name and source and it might even let more people appreciate your suggestion.

This is a very interesting idea, I have to think about it some more but I think for social animals there are some natural forces at work that push toward cooperation and dynamic equilibrium and away from hierarchies.

It's good that Gonzo seems to be pretty solidly in the top 38, but we gotta get a few more notable cat accounts into that category if this list is going to have any credibility.

Yes, I agree that the whole 38 Best thing is pointless clickbait unworthy of our attention, but I did go vote for the cat accounts. A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds.

This is a basic truth, and it's encouraging that the House just voted Nope on an attempt to amend to Constitution to keep the SC at nine seats forever, because it means the Rs are seeing adding seats as a real possibility. We need people talking about it to make it respectable. And bumper stickers.

I have no prior commitment to either, so I read to see which mineral had the most convincing argument and this was the winner for me, but when I went and voted I discovered that anorthite is not winning this round despite being the objectively better mineral. GOTV, Team Feldspar. #MinCup26

This is the best non-paywalled summary I've found so far. It's no surprise that Hegseth is a preening ignoramus who should be impeached and removed from his position for the sake of the nation, what I find noteworthy is that these stories are coming out. Officers at this level do nor gossip and 1/2
