There's no excuse for someone who's supposed to be representing millions of New Yorkers to say that the problem is "not enough Christianity" (though if NY lost senators every time one did something that should be disqualifying, we'd have nothing but a smoking crater where Schumer used to be).
One of those books where the first monster introduction made me sit up and pay attention. When river creature was shown as some sort of bizarre salamander thing rather than a standard fangly monster I knew I was in good hands.
someone on this app every day, for some reason: being rich and evil is like a MENTAL DISABILITY. rich evil people do things which make me think they have COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENTS. when i see a rich evil person i see someone who has EXPERIENCED HEAD TRAUMA. i am a progressive
What is #2026MMM 's official stance on the Pokemon fandom always preferring the mammalian starter?
I waited for so long to watch the show after reading the book*. It did a great job of keeping the interesting bits of source material while taking a well-deserved hacksaw to the rest of it.
*Most of the book. I gave up with 50 pages to go, at the "only you can repopulate my psychic race" reveal
Text from Bulbapedia reading "Salazzle, Toxic Lizard Pokemon"
inb4 someone tries to say Salazzle is an amphibian
We're all worried about the cute puppy going bipedal, but does no one share my concern that they're going to make the gecko sexy? Please don't make the gecko sexy. We already have a sexy lizard Pokemon and she's fabulous.
#2026MMM fans, did you know I’ve been proclaimed patron saint of the 15-2 upset?
I proclaimed it myself, of course, but that’s only because @mammalssuck.bsky.social and the Catholic Church won’t return my calls.
*[appears on the audience’s other shoulder]* Orrrrrrr you could pick all the 15-seed upsets you want! It’s always a good choice! #2026MMM
"I don't have a horse in this race" / "I don't have a dog in this fight" = normal
"I don't have a dog in this race" = sounds off but kinda makes sense, there's greyhound racing etc.
"I don't have a horse in this fight" = fucking hilarious
A meme template of a goose chasing a guy, with the goose asking "So in this scenario, what happens to people who aren't healthy? What happens to them, motherfucker?"
make them say the quiet part out loud
Why are genetics experts advertising with not only AI slop, but AI slop with a huge, obvious error in the structure of DNA

"The cops can drink as much as they want there...The bartenders serve them till they're blackout drunk and let them leave." Quote from a woman who was hit by a drunk-driving cop *while sitting in her living room.* This story from the @inquirer.com is a hell of a thing. share.inquirer.com/yynTQX

I think Mortal Kombat Guy should be a permanent fixture at midnight society meetings for occasions such as these
@miniminuteman.bsky.social does really good work making accessible science videos debunking this kind of thing, including extensive coverage of the "smithsonian hiding giants" hoax.
Anecdotal evidence obviously, but in my personal experience it’s overwhelmingly likely that the grad students did not ask their parents to do this (and even odds that they’ve already asked them to *stop*).
I saw a live birthed harbor seal pup for the first time in my life today. I thought it would be horrifying because I have a weak stomach, but it turned to UNGODLY CUTE very fast!
Using this thread for some moments in the minutes after. All shot on my z8, edited on phone for now. 🦭 🦑
Do I know any journalists or news outlets who might be willing to write an article about the months I’ve spent begging GoFundMe to release the funds I’ve raised? I wish this were more common knowledge so no one else finds themselves in this position. (Please boost!)
@unicornriot.bsky.social ?
Students, particularly black and brown and female and queer college students, were mocked and vilified by their parents and teachers and late night hosts and news media, and then spent the next 10 years watching as the problems they had recognized got worse.
Apologies welcome any time now. (3/3)
...in academia that would fester into the present attempted fascist takeover of universities, and for pointing the finger at abusers in positions of academic power who were known and protected for decades. (2/3)
A lot of acknowledgement these days that "the lefties were right", "the alarmists were right", but you know what else?
College students circa 2015 were right.
They put up with endless bullshit from the "adults in the room" about how they were stupid snowflakes for calling out inequities (1/3)
What really gets me is the gap between the fantasy world that was popularized in the 2010s, where college students were too coddled to understand that a university is a place for challenging ideas, and actual reality, where a university isn't allowed to "challenge" state-approved dogma.
Humans are mammals on money. Does that mean we get to watch an elephant maul Andrew Jackson? #Please #2026MMM

The Poisoner's Handbook: Murder and the Birth of Forensic Medicine in Jazz Age New York by Deborah Blum. Despite the title (it predates the "true crime" boom) it's actually a niche history/science read.
