This might be the coolest one I've seen yet from this account (although I won't lie I also love the ones that are just spiderwebs across the camera lens).

My friends I think it’s getting to the point where we may have to start cutting off friends and family who use Liberty insurance. You voted for this. Nobody forced you to look at those ads and say “I want that company to be repsnsible for my financial safety.” It’s indefensible.

I read this book as an educator when a bunch of teachers were adding it to classes. At the end I was like “the whole book is basically ‘so yeah all these poors are at fault for their own situation except my grandma who is the magical exception’.” Couldn’t believe it got any other interpretation.

I think everyone should see this incredible picture of Dolly Parton: it’s by Stacie Williams (asterosperma on Instagram) and it’s called The Queen of Appalachia
A stunning screenprint image in a style which is part folk art, part religious icon. Dolly Parton sits on a throne-like wooden chair, surrounded by garlands of flowers and leaves. Orange butterflies (I think they are monarchs?) hover around her head. Her hair is huge and golden, and she is wearing a long, sweeping orange gown, which is turned up over her knee to show off her brown knee length high heeled boots. Two black bear cubs play around her, one on the floor and one in her lap. Dolly stares calmly at the viewer. Her right hand is raised in benediction, and in her left she holds a ripe strawberry which she is feeding to one of the bear cubs.

soooooooo... I'm running a third detroit sports account. I did ask for a survey earlier this year on the red wings account and I'm announcing the presence of @notdetroitpistons.bsky.social right now! I intend to start sometime in september, so that's probably going to lay dormant for some time.

but wait. what's this? a FOURTH ACCOUNT? yep you heard it right. if you have not gotten the very obvious clue from earlier today, I'm also starting @notlions.bsky.social! with the next season right around the corner and coverage looking a bit bleak right now, I might as well do what I do best.

A quick word on Taco Bell: That's where we found the suspected lettuce, and it's not bc Taco Bell is gross. It's bc Taco Bell is REALLY GOOD at tracing product! Keeping track of exactly where they got their ingredients, & exactly what restaurants each shipment of ingredients went to!

Been loving this World Cup but ffs camera men can you back up 3 steps so we can see all the excited kids with the players during the anthem?!? No one needs to see the players’ faces from point blank anyway! The kids families however would love to see them!

You think it ever occurs to the editors behind these sorts of pieces that their readership might be MORE interested in a piece where the paper PUSHES BACK on misinformation and asks these rubes for their reaction to hard evidence being set in front of them? What audience would they LOSE w/that?

Haven’t seen anybody comment on this yet but Draft Kings unveiled their version of the “bet on anything in the real world!” Market very recently. Will be fascinating to see if they run it like their other markets (“30% profit boost on any congressman to be accused of aaault in May”!)

To what extent is today's debate about the article questioning the legitimacy of a certain band's rise to popularity really a proxy debate between people who love them and people who were eager for an "objective" reason to "prove" they're actually bad? Discuss.

I wish I had screenshots of the exchange back on Twitter where someone asked if Jamie and Cersei Lannister were siblings or lovers bc the sequence of replies was the funniest thing I’ve ever read. “You’re not gonna believe this…”. Anyone else remember this? I feel like it went a lil viral.

I wish more people who try out gambling knew that there are literal websites that can estimate the value of a given bet (they do have a "fair value") and what they often reveal is that even WITH a profit boost from one of the promotions on the big betting sites, the bets have negative value.

Hello, looks like independent publishers should beef up our books coverage. If you're into the idea of joining the @flaminghydra.com collective and writing a book review each month (800-2000 word range), please send us your ideas and some clips to hello@flamingydra.com

No that I'm some influential follower of others or anything, but if you post or repost the clearly AI'd photo of the "ICE shooter" into my timeline I'm both unfollowing you and reporting you for dangerous misleading information. Being angry and wanting action doesn't excuse dangerous choices.

I’ve seen a few people reposting and commenting on this and just generally making fun of him but more specifically…a TON of services are now digital and you can reserve a spot before you show up and…it’s just massively upgraded since even the 2010s. Like it’s a flatly inaccurate observation.

Netflix just endlessly bad at live streaming. Lions broadcast didn’t even pop up after cowboys ended I had to search for them. Clown show stuff. And while I’m full of Christmas cheer this ridiculous opening of players tackling presents is dumb even for a football promo.
