Let’s face it, this is not true. He is just not cool or sexy enough for this to be true. Graffiti artists, do better.

Graffiti inside a portapotty that has a picture of a crudely drawn penis with some emissions and the words “Trump sucks cock & likes it in the ass” over a sticker of Trump pointing up at the words with the caption “I DID THAT!”

I title this screenshot “The Timeline Giveth” Wherein an answer is provided to offer a name for that tendency or group of people…

Two posts on the timeline: First, the OP’s post starting “I don’t know what to call the specific political tendency represented by RyanGrim [and the group of other recent male rape apologists]
…”

The second post from “William Shakespeare”: “A good riddance”

I tried but failed to edit this into an appropriate soccer/football style meme on my phone. But I trust somebody more savvy than I shall glorify this into a “Soccer law” meme anon

The tree law meme were the first panel shows a man upset about it cut tree, and the last panel has a crowd chanting tree! Law!! Tree! Law!

Limits? I don’t need no stinkin’ limits

The ios screen that pops up when a screen time limit is reached. It says “ time limit you’ve reached your limit on Bluesky.”

Then there are two options that say OK and ignore limit.

If you like, post one photo of a painting you took with your own hands

Ok, but this guy to his right is making up for it

The man standing next to Trump at the Knicks game with his eyes so wide open and his smile so tight but wide at the same time - like he could be excited or shitting his pants

Urgent Tech Help needed for my doomscrolling please: What setting got messed with to make it seem like THIS is the way alt text should appear?

The transparency of the alt text window in light gray with white text against a picture of a picture of black text against a white background creating an unreadable alt text experience

This is the latest progress on my lace knitting project - you can’t see how stunning the iridescent beads are in the picture but trust me, they’re like little drops of rainbow dazzle that make me weak in the knees

Ice cream is cool, also: please vicariously enjoy my root beer float from the other night.

It’s so cool, it has dropped an “o” and declared its sexuality. (Cool Ace, get it?)

Does it count if you made the meme yourself as a mothers’ day gift for your Family of Choice group chat?

Picture of man screaming, the man is protagonist from movie There Will Be Blood. The caption reads “Did you just tell me how to run my family?” and the words “Happy Mothers’ Day superimposed on the upper right corner.

What. the. ever. loving… If anybody can explain this one to me, I’d be forever grateful!

A label applied to my account it reads:

[as a heading]: From The Cave of Trophonius:
Crushed (Stampede of ducks)

[explanatory text below heading]
A manner of death, perhaps

I saw an author talking about meeting this author’s niece by happenstance at a book signing about their OWN book about dictionaries and I was like: Oh man, I have two books to buy now from one thread. I chose to spend my mother’s day leisure minutes reading this, it’s RIVETING

settings - content - then this thing. I really only look at my following feed when I want the algo to give me the random but selected from ppl I follow, so I do have stuff turned on for my own preference. I also tried to dm you the mutuals feed link!

These effing app surveys, even in the most utilitarian and mundane of apps! Popping up after being in the app a minute TO REVIEW AND MAKE REMINDERS?!? It’s like intentionally targeted to foil adhd people

The reminder app in ios has me asking to tap a star to review and rate it on the app store.

I almost cant follow the anti anti ai ai hate double triple negatives BUT I was not blocked and I am really looking forward to seeing the train wreck of what becomes of … this (labeled graphic for those who have this blocked already and don’t wanna see it)

A post from User Why about an hour ago that states, in pertinent part:
“Putting Claude in charge of reading my notifications and deciding what to do with them was a fantastic idea.”

I think maybe it’s in the name: Strips are about all it’s good for likely, and now that I know this I have regrets about not having the big one.

This documentary is amazingly memeworthy. It’s called Listers. It’s on YouTube. And I fear it may have started me down a birdwatching rabbit hole.

Picture of a TV which shows a man with a mullet and a mustache with the caption on top saying, “trying to call in a three toed woodpecker” and the caption on bottom saying “calling in a bird watcher instead”. The man’s expression has his lips in a circular sort of astonished grumpy face

I recently re-purchased an anthology I had when I was 15 or so, and am delighting in reuniting with these poems.

picture of a poem from The Best American Poetry 1993:

ADRIENNE RICH
Not Somewhere Else, But HerE

WHAT KIND OF TIMES ARE THESE
There's a place between two stands of trees where the grass
grows uphill
and the old revolutionary road breaks off into shadows near a meeting-house abandoned by the persecuted who disappeared into those shadows.
I've walked there picking mushrooms at the edge of dread,
but don't be fooled.
this isn't a Russian poem, this is not somewhere else but here, our country moving closer to its own truth and dread, its own ways of making people disappear.
I won't tell you where the place is, the dark mesh of the woods meeting the unmarked strip of light— ghost-ridden crossroads, leafmold paradise:
I know already who wants to buy it, sell it, make it disappear.
And I won't tell you where it is, so why do I tell you anything? Because you still listen, because in times like
to have you listen at all, it's necessary
these
to talk about trees.

#lingsky Wlingua users, can you help me understand what this icon refers to? I’m image-illiterate.

A screenshot from Wlingua app which has 6 square icons that show a number indicating progress. I have highlighted a green square that contains two overlapping green speech bubbles and has a zero where the number indicating progress would be. Nothing happens when I click on it, so no words available to indicate what that icon is supposed to connect to.

I never ever tire of being reminded of how old and lovely my own beloved mountains are. Steady. Tried and true. (Not mine, legally, but mine in my soul)

view from an appalachian mountainside in Shenandoah, just before dawn, where the sky is dark like the sea still and two “hills” (mountains! Very old mountains) hold hands bottom center to seemingly boost the very beginning orange light up out of the valley between them
