Went to see @piperformissouri.bsky.social last night. She was awesome, of course. The Q&A was interesting as well, but one thing I noticed jumped out: every man who asked a question prefaced it with his own "expertise" regarding the subject of the question. None of the women did.

James Talarico is cute. Cute like: if I didn't know that Opie grew up to be Ron Howard, I could believe that he grew up to be James Talarico.

My vision of the perfect #SuperBowl, a thread: 1/3 Kickoff: the receiving team catches the ball, then the 22 players each walk into positions to spell out FUCK ICE. They stay there until they get word that NBC has cut to commercial. Player with the ball takes a knee.

I suspect the largest group of people that the SAVE Act would disenfranchise is married women who took their husbands' last names. Welcome to The Handmaid's Tale.

Ice beats ICE 2-0.

Literal trigger warning for this post. ICE murders a woman as she tries to drive away in Minneapolis.

I know that district is ruby red, but flipping it would be *chef's kiss*.

What do these companies have in common? -Cigna -Comcast -General Mills -Allstate -Marriott -Hilton -Walmart -Amazon -Microsoft -Meta All promised after January 6, 2021 to stop funding lawmakers who tried to overturn the 2020 election. And all have broken that promise.

Amen.

Sucks that the nation I live in is the one that isn't getting regime change.

2 is my most frequent killer. (This also applies to improv.)

From 2018 to 2024, the tax rate paid by eight major retailers was slashed from 30% to just 17.5%. The CEOs of those major retailers were paid a collective $1.3 billion. Meanwhile, the average worker at those stores was paid less than $32,000 in 2024. Nothing trickled down.

We’ve got some wins. We’ve got some hope. That’s not the time to ease up—it’s the time to tighten. A number of these companies would undo what landed them on the boycott guide. That’s leverage. That’s how we shape their future behavior. psychopete1.substack.com/p/psycho-pet...
