For like ten years, every winter I had to keep correcting people: No, I did not buy a leather trenchcoat because of 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘔𝘢𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘹, I bought it because of Spike from 𝘉𝘶𝘧𝘧𝘺!

Bingo, @jamestalarico.bsky.social 🎯 “Trickle-down economics is not a theory, it is theft”

Just flat out lying. This man is divorced from reality. By choice.

People are annoyed that Defeating Fascism isn't a tight 90-minute action movie they can fit inbetween pilates and their staff meeting, and so they're out here claiming all is lost, the fascists have won. And they call that "realistic" Read a book on fascism, Trump is still very stoppable.

The elections are run by the states. We've been having special elections this whole year and they haven't stopped one. They haven't even attempted it. Fascists win by convincing you they are unstoppable. They are still very weak. We've been reversing their wins.

Take notes!

No, you're not a "realist". Because a realist does not ignore or dismiss wins. A realist doesn't view a lack of total success today as abject failure forever. THAT is not realistic. Your impatience is the tell. You think because we haven't won yet, that means we are losing.

Claiming a PUBLIC post "broke containment" is like the guy we caught pissing on our front steps screaming we violated his privacy.

Don't be this (screenshot). The gay community is DIY. Atlantis Events exist because someone wanted them to exist. Just like the Pride Parade. Just like everything gay. The reason the spaces/experiences the author wants do not exist, is because he won't get off his whiny ass and make them happen. 🤷‍♂️

Is facts.

Yes, TurboTax, the thing that young women yearn to express through song and video are their intense love of doing their tax returns. Ladies, doesn't it feel great to be SEEN?

Age verification? 🎵As long as we got each otherrr🎵 We got the world spinnin' round in our hands! 🎶 Baby you and me, we gotta be, the luckiest dreamers who NEVER QUIT DREAMIN🎵

When you marry a himbo, he's now your husbo. #gay

If you are a bald man in the northern hemisphere right now you have probably been wearing a hat a lot. Funny thing, people's memories gave you hair under that hat! 🪄 So in a month or so, when you take your hat off, someone is gonna ask,"Did you get a haircut?" Work on you zingers now.

I refreshed my ginger, but it's a bit radioactive orange right now, needs a day or so to become less caffeinated.

I didn't watch anything, I was too busy doing drugs. How did the Halftime for Losers Show sponsored by Total Perverts USA go?

Part of the problem is so many people think art that has a sociopolitical or economic message is the exception, not the norm. They mistake it as a deviation, or even a "style" of art, rather than it's very lifeblood and purpose. Most allegory and satire goes right over their heads. For decades.

This week a whole bunch of Gen X and Gen Z magas belatedly discovered that Rage Against The Machine, Tommy Lee and Green Day are anti-establishment and pretty hardcore anti-fascist, which would have been perfectly obvious the whole time had they taken two seconds to think about it lol.

If releasing the full unredacted Epstein files will bring down the government, the government needs to be brought down. If releasing the files will bring down mega corporations and billionaires, they need to be brought down. Hold the monsters responsible & build back better.

Seriously Former ICE, The only road for redemption in front of you starts with spilling all of the beans. Leak like faucet. Sing like a canary, name as many names as you can. Best ending you can hope for is to help take it all down.

I do our taxes by hand with the paper forms. First in pencil. I've used free online tax software to check my math and then just delete the account/return. Then go over the forms in ink, send it through the mail. Not free, but pretty cheap.

Y’all. They are exactly like jails/prisons. Just bc some of you chose to look the other way before doesn’t change the fact that—this is what jails/prisons are like. This is structural; it is the very foundation of the US. If you need motivation for your outrage—it isn’t very righteous then is it?

Almost like getting a flu shot now. Never thought I'd see the day. (Pedantic: Poster goes on to clarify it is not ACTUALLY a vax, but the closest equivalent short of an actual vax. Forgive.)

The Vampire Lestat series will be a failure if we don't get to see him eat at least one boy band.

When someone is trying to get you to put in extra hours and days on something, I've noticed there's one argument that really just tends to cut them off at the knees. "I'd rather have the time, than the money" Most people don't have a retort for you saying the time is more valuable.

You are ascribing Thanos powers to a man who shits himself in public.

I wouldn't listen to anyone who claims this regime is unstoppable. As in "they won't let you have elections, win, be seated." As IF they are gravity. As IF they haven't been a clown show this whole time. Besides, talk to astronauts about how "impossible" defying gravity is.

Why is it so hard to get some people to understand: No, it is not worth my time to go to a store that's far away to save 1$ when the same thing is at the store I already go to. It will actually cost me more than a 1$ in terms of time and travel to get there and back.

Honestly don't have a problem with any of the trainings I have to do or have done. Quality and production values vary, but the knowledge is generally useful. I guess I'm curious and don't get offended by being expected to learn things every so often.🤷‍♂️

Took me awhile to Come Out to because of 90s sitcoms and comedians. TV Dads seemed to want to escape their families to hang with their all male group of friends. Comedians have a series of "the opposite sex is crazy/stupid/gross" jokes. I wasn't convinced men and women actually liked each other.

After latest release country should move on to Epstein trials.

My dreams of returning to the gym, because my Total Gym at home isn't really cutting it anymore, are dashed by Hubby's car trouble. Can't afford new member fees until we get his wheels fixed.

If it's a choice between you forgetting to thank me and doing this: "Hey, can you do XYZ for me, Please and Thank You!" I would rather you forget to thank me entirely. Shoving it into the request is clumsy, always awkward, obnoxious, and comes across as demanding.

This? Not helpful. Do NOT listen to talk like this. As if we can't stop them. As if we didn't just force them to give up Liam Ramos. We are making strides but because they aren't dramatic enough for some people, they post garbage like this.

You ever look at your microwave for the time and it just says END and you have a delightful mini panic attack?

90% of the people at your gym are way too focused on themselves to worry about judging you. I have personally fallen off the stairmaster, more than once, and continued going to that gym.

If you start up at the gym and feel bad because your body doesn't look like someone who's been at it for a few years (or many years) keep this in mind: At one point, they were you. Some of them looked just like you. Felt bad or awkward just like you. Yet here they are. So are you. Keep going.

How could anyone have ever believed that? Anytime you have a group that is forced to put money into a fund that they can never take out - the fund profits from that. Anyone who’s ever tried to get government benefits in this country knows citizens can barely get them - let alone the undocumented!

It’s ALWAYS the rich assholes.

We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”

I am a rebel. I wear a hat indoors all the time. Also, I am cold. Because bald.

Pay attention to news from saner countries? Canada will probably say something if there's another pandemic.

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

Couchfucking waste of atoms. What a weird creep JD Vance is.

#Chicago Gays, have you worked out at an Anytime Fitness? The hours are the selling point for me, but I'd like to hear if anyone's had issues with them at any of the ones in Chicago. ✌️

Good morning. Bad things happening in fiction does not mean the bad thing is being endorsed. Stop limiting your comprehension and imagination

YES. The senate democrats especially won't move until We MAKE THEM MOVE. They want to glide by on the bare minimum. And they will until we make them. Until we can replace them with real leaders, we will need to hound them like slacking employees. Because that's what they are. They WORK FOR US.

Liam and his father are out of ICE custody and WE did that folks. WE called and screamed and yelled and got in their faces until they had no choice but to let Liam and his Dad free. They didn't want to do that. WE MADE THEM. Stop acting like we can't win. We ARE winning. STOP EXPECTING A MOVIE.

Would it be THAT unfair to just assume the primary motivator for excessive wealth is consequence-free CSA?
