we have family in california (some very near LA.) they are safe but report that the need for help is overwhelming. please donate what you can. thank you!
I know we should not judge based on appearances but man, he just looks like a dingus with that necklace on. And once again you've turned a perfect phrase, "All this shows that Zuckerberg has the moral fortitude of a mucousy tissue."
Dingus really did have to be Zuck, whose death has been mourned by the scientists working on his rat penis transplant. (Hey, he’s the one who says fact checking is bad. I’m just following your lead Mark.) Liars everywhere rejoiced at his decision.
Thanks again Lyz. Your place is an important community for me and I sorely need one, facing the dread of another Trump regime. Take good care of yourself.
I have already shut down and deleted Instagram, and hope to be done with all things Facebook by Sunday. ENOUGH! I am being public about this, and encouraging others to get off these platforms. There is BlueSky and Reddit, and LinkedIn, and I'll be good with that. Zuckerberg (and his $900,000 watch - don't forget that!) can kiss my m*therf*cking @$$.
LinkedIn is a cesspool. I have stopped being there at all. I posted on my FB and IG yesterday (and here as well) what my intentions are for pulling back and eventually leaving entirely. I joined Bluesky yesterday.
I deactivated facebook and likely will with IG as well. I'm sad about it because I moved to a new community recently and facebook is how I get information on a lot of local events. I'm wondering if you or anyone else who has left FB and IG have found a good alternative to keeping up with local events and happenings? I'm also trying to avoid having a inbox full of newsletters so this feels really challenging.
BlueSky does have some neighborhood groups, if your neighborhood is progressive. Also, there's the Citizen app, but I don't want that much negativity in my life. I'm just figuring out this stuff myself. Good luck and eff MZ!
Zuck can go to hell. Thanks for sharing your time with the women at the fundraiser. Now I can spend some time remembering my days fighting for feminism in the 1970's.
OMG I had forgotten about the Anita Bryant pie incident! Can we nominate her for a posthumous Dingus award? She certainly should be up for the Dingus Hall of Shame.
Zuck looks like every kid I went to high school in the early 90s who went through their "Bob Marley" phase. All that's missing is a pookah shell necklace.
Also: I think it's worth remembering that for a lot of the world--especially the global south-- Facebook *is* the internet.
THANK YOU FOR THAT MUSIC LINK!! Wowowoow. What a collab! My gut has been telling me to start watching music videos again, because music alone is not enough . . . something I did not think possible. But my 15 year old MTV self, she is in there, ready to dance and be amazed.
I got this tidbit too late to nominate (and it is also hyper-University of VA-specific) but I just want you to be a panelist at this guy's conference at UVA. Brad Wilcox is the director of the National Marriage Project and his book title gives me the ick - "Get Married: Why Americans Should Defy the Elites, Forge Strong Families, and Save Civilization".
How about you guys dismantle patriarchy and then we'll talk about "saving civilization".
"...the National Marriage Project, which will host a conference at UVA on April 8. Called “In Pursuit: What Do Marriage and Motherhood Have to Do With the Happiness of Women?,” the conference features “an ideologically diverse group of female scholars and public intellectuals.”
I don't even know that the last bit means exactly, but that could be you, Lyz! Please tell this man he can't make women get married just to save (his) civilization.
Thank you for a great Dingus call. Meta has joined X in the "useless, bile-filled social media" category. But it's been there for decades. Nearly twenty years ago I was subjected to a vile rant on Facebook from a former high school classmate who objected to me standing up (very politely. Too politely it appears) for reproductive rights. Nothing has changed; no, it's actually gotten a lot worse.
The Anita Bryant "pieing" is priceless. No doubt Trump would want to execute the guy today. After all, aren't gay guys like the prototypical crazy murderers who wipe out their families and whole night clubs when they don't get their way? No? The incident is so righteous. It reminds me of the 1985 photograph of Danuta Danielsson in the act of clobbering a neo-fascist Nordic Realm jerk who was marching through her town in Sweden. She nails him with her (large) handbag. Her swing form would make Juan Soto proud.
I wonder if Zuckerberg is capitulating to Trump (i.e., giving up his convictions out of fear of economic retribution), or is just emboldened, like so many other MAGA devotees, to express what he's thought all along (e.g., your body my choice). Either way, he's a great Dingus Award recipient, but maybe not newly spineless?
Well, Facebook did start as a way to rate the relative hotness of women students at Harvard, right? Zuckerberg suffers from arrested development and libertarianism, which unfortunately afflicts a wide swath of Silicon Valley tech bros, and we're all paying for it.
Nah, I think it's the result of wearing large sunglasses. He's barely got any colour; not surprising, as the colour of his skin, eyelashes and eyebrows suggests he's almost a redhead. Maybe he spent too long outside in Mar a Lago?! 🔥
I have maintained, from the start, that Facebook is The Man. I knew it had to be when I discovered my ex had created false identities to troll people.and nothing has changed my mind.
I don’t know what sweet corn dip is, but I’m gonna need a recipe!
The closest recipe I found was this! https://www.food.com/recipe/southwest-corn-green-chili-dip-381468
You are the absolute BEST!

You're right; we totally shouldn't judge, but I'm totally gonna.
May I present to you the Daily Show clip where Josh Johnson absolutely takes him to the woodshed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXM4Ds2YeCY
That is GREAT! I love Josh Johnson.
THANK YOU for this!
And, a $900K watch on his wrist. That is $200K more than the house I bought in 2015
It's $700K more than the house I bought in 2013. (The one benefit of being an Iowan) LOL! We could all live in that watch.
Alas, I live in Silicon Valley so $700K for a 1400 sqft house was a really good deal in 2015.

My first thought at reading “rat penis transplant” was, “Well, I guess he really must be lacking in that area…”

Re Zuckerberg/Facebook/Meta, seems to me it's way past time to ditch that medium. Ultimately it's no different than Musk's Xitter.
"Zuckerberg has the moral fortitude of a mucousy tissue." 😂😂😂
OMG I had forgotten about the Anita Bryant pie incident! Can we nominate her for a posthumous Dingus award? She certainly should be up for the Dingus Hall of Shame.
OG Dingus. First ballot Hall of Dingus Famer.
I had not seen that clip before. It looks like an SNL skit. Truly delightful!

Swing for the stadium lights, ladies.

Is it just my monitor and 55-year old eyes, or does that photo of him look like he's got "spray-tan goggles" like his new best bud?
Clearly, he's going for the Trump tan look

And Zuck did all that while wearing a nearly $1,000,000 watch! How far from the reality of earth do you have to be to wear such a watch?
