Jerks County, Pennsylvania cannot be real

posting is like letting the air out of a balloon that’s about to pop, it’s a necessity. it is is an escape hatch. it is relief that begets life.

content creation is like going to work every day to blow up an empty balloon. you’re sisyphus.

true Posts are born of time theft and/or unemployment, I thought everyone knew this!

ok i am not the first to say this, but after watching it, it's fucking wild that it's a CATO GUY going viral for this right now. everyone left of the CATO FUCKING INSTITUTE should be ashamed of themselves for not speaking so clearly and directly

Most of tiktok/reels/&c. isn't posting. It's the dominant social media right now, by a mile, but most of what's on there is Content Creators clocking in for their full time job at the vertical video factory. That's not posting. Those aren't posts.

there’s too many greenblanks man

Not the FIFA Peace Prize winner!

Another tough day for team “there’s no point in complaining about AI, just accept it.”

take it from a professional: make sure your kids are pissing on real hardwoods

perhaps you missed The Discourse but the smoking thing was a multi-day thing that prompted someone to deactivate temporarily to get away from the pile-on for suggesting it wasn't great to have someone smoking next to her baby on the bus. otoh I can't wait until landscapers go battery electric

"the heont for geauxlum"

saw this and instantly clocked it was maine before I looked at the caption lol

Guy who has only read about the ills of double-loaded corridors: Getting a lot of double-loaded corridor vibes from this..

the ONION م Cell Phones And Social Media Will Disrupt The Fragile Development Of The Growing Brain And I Will Not Be A Party To Doing So To My Own Children vs. No It Won't

the argument in my house last night

Making My Bloody Valentine fans even more depressed is particularly bad for morale on Bluesky

I mean, this is basically the problem where any rando speaking for leftists is an official policy wonk which affects the ground on
many issues

I thought using the term "terminally online leftists" was implicitly suggesting the small number of them but apparently not. in any case, I don't think this is an important on-the-ground issue it's just an annoying discoursey thing that happens on text-based social media apps (which we are on)

I guess I should point out my commentary is about online discourse, not what is actually happening on the ground. I'm not even saying it's a lot of people. It's just enough of them to be annoying online about it when certain topics come up. that's why I tried to frame it about clout.

oh I'm not saying it does. I don't think the tiny percentage of terminally online leftists who think this out of the tiny percentage of people who are online to begin with really has any effect on it whatsoever. this is an online discourse commentary, that's why I specified "online" leftists

we really do be living in a society

just saw a March 6 byline at the NYT so I'm happy to glad he's still out there, hopefully he just did a Poochie in the name of touching grass

it excuses their own antisocial behavior, yes, but it also has become a battle for "cred" wrt being a class ally. *I* don't think throwing a rock through the post office window is a problem but I guess maybe you're not anti-capitalist enough to see that 💅

I miss whet :(
