“You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you?” *chuckles* I’m in danger.

incredible that for big companies, this is gonna be considered the 'uncompromising take'

this thread is essential reading on right wing and patriarchal logics that allow CSA to be largely permissible and why calling out the hypocrisy of conservatives doesnt work; AKA pedocon theory huge huge content warning for CSA; proceed with caution

“we only care about death threats from people who don’t mean them” is a hell of a position to take

this story was sort of lost in the last few days of the epstein news but it’s wild how many republicans appear to be pedophiles or okay with pedophilia

Watching people fight over a bear-shaped Starbucks cup is sending me into misanthropic depths I didn’t think were possible. Have some self respect, the billionaires are laughing at you.

"but if you ban cars from my street how will I get a sofa delivered?" Get the delivery guys to park in the loading bay at the end of the street and bring it the short distance from there.

Thiel Fellowship co-founder Michael Gibson says that, “There is an American renaissance waiting for us if we stop funding higher ed and abolish public schools” … 1/ x.com/william_blak...

a few months ago I said "having generative AI handle absolutely anything with regards to healthcare is a nightmare and should be banned" and a bunch of people made fun of me and called me stupid. anyways,

Schumer chose 8 Senators not up for election in 2026 to take the sellout "deal". They're hiding. The centrist Democratic leadership knows that the blue base hates these spineless cowards. They hope that we forget by 2028 or 2030. That we won't kick them out. Prove them wrong.

Folks, a pill to swallow: if current Democrats will cave to your healthcare, they will cave to your voting rights. If they will cave to you not getting paid for 40 days, they will cave to LGBTQ+ marriage. If they cave to stalling our airplanes, they will cave to destroying our National Parks.

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

The ability to convince capital markets to hand you a trillion dollars on the strength of obvious bullshit paired with the inability to get a single human to sincerely and spontaneously say they love you is some real punishment of the gods shit.

the people yearn for precedented times

just wanted to re-post this messaging that helped win an election

Let’s gooooooooo! We are so back, baby! Good job my fellow New Yorkers. 🥹

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day. certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Good morning Bluesky !

Damn girl, haven’t seen a ratio that bad in a while, you are setting a new standard.

The internet is collectively writing louvre heist yaoi and I think that's beautiful

The RIAA was suing teenagers. We had to sit through ⬇️ this shit anytime we wanted to watch a DVD. A whole generation shamed for using Limewire and torrents. Only for these silicone valley assholes to now find copyright infringement a necessary evil they shouldn’t have to answer for

I realized I’ve been sort of mourning the internet lately. It’s odd. This ‘place’ that used to contain a wealth of actually valuable information, and introduced me to many people I now call friends, and which paved the way for my career, has almost completely rotted away. It’s not coming back.

Believe it or not, if you want your platform to be both less toxic and more welcoming and inclusive, you do actually have to ban the nazis

The urge to give away all your possessions so you can live like an untethered nomadic monk clashing with the urge to hoard trinkets and treasures like a greedy dragon.

Too real

For the last few days Youtube has been trying so hard to push a bunch of right wing grifter channels at me. Idk why they are all mad at Emma Watson all of the sudden (I can guess), but I have seen an unflattering picture of her face in the thumbnail at least a dozen times now.

Babe wake up NPR is getting ratiod

I find it very funny Hades 2 is launching on bissexual week

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

Just a reminder that fics can be downloaded to read when the website is down. Everybody stay calm, no need to panic.

Anyway,

Eye-opening thread

I've never experienced an escalator failure because I'm pure of heart

ChatGPT: expensive, lies, steals from creators, bad for the environment Old Wise Owl: free, spiritually incapable of telling anything but absolute truth, inspires creators to create more, in perfect harmony with all natural systems

So… no rapture?

being online right now feels like being harry and marv just getting walloped by paint cans to the face ... except it is posts

It turns out that Black Mirror was not cynical and dystopian enough.

I'm jailbreaking my old kindle. Wish me luck, I really hope I don't brick it. 😩

i do not mourn the death of evil people

Someone shot up my kid's school today, and our governor is paying tribute to a guy who thought that is an acceptable price to pay for having the Second Amendment. Jared Polis has failed Colorado.

I still am fascinated by the fact that most of these people were the type to say they couldn't mask during a pandemic, but now they can cover every face hole at all times just to do fascist shit. Fuck these weak wastes of life.
