My parents can NEVER know I still enjoy reading books about Jesus

I think there's more than ample reason for all of us to just kinda stop treating any action by the federal executive branch as binding. A senile old man is playing pretend, that's not our business

"Ugh, I can't stop doomscrolling. Twitter is a cesspool. Wahhhh, facebookkkkk." Delete it then. You won't.

It’s crazy how you can give the pharmacy a random combination of letters and numbers and your meds will go from $1200 to $35. But only if you are digitally savvy enough to go to the drug manufacturers website. It’s built to take advantage of non savvy people. American healthcare is so broken.

"Oh, that company is going public!!" And it's actually just repackaged aristocratic, oligarchical ownership of wealth

Periodic PSA: Facebook was initially designed as a MISOGYNISTIC ATTRACTIVENESS-RATING APP Have a nice day<3

This is actually just me planting the seeds of proof against AI usage. MY THINKING IS ALL RIGHT THERE. AND IT'S ALL. MY. OWN.

Your addiction to your smartphone takes on a different light if I say instead: "You're addicted to your government surveillance device." @techlore.tech youtu.be/jf2OyFVo9G0?...

This was the point in the bus thread where I started to wonder if it was a metaphor for this present moment in time.

Interesting that the working class is defined by not having a degree with no regard to income as well. White guy without a college degree who owns a multi-location auto dealer group: working class Woman with a degree who works two jobs as a teacher and a bartender: out of touch elite.

BREAKING NEWS: Despite my lack of job (or employability overall, really) I will no longer be identifying as "working class" So if you're a lowly poor, you can just unfollow 💅

ICE is using Medicaid data, including addresses, phone numbers, birth dates and citizenship or immigration status, to find immigrants. stateline.org/2026/01/20/i...

If you are: -a leftist -who does not like the DNC -and lives in a red district -that is rural or suburban I encourage you to check out your local Dems and maybe get involved. Red districts are often ignored by national Dems; you may have more influence to push left locally than you think.

jack asked if i would sketch up a poster to tell people in nearby neighborhoods about the partnership between flock and ring, and this is what i came up with. it can be printed on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper.

I’ve been writing Popular Information for 8 years, and this is one of the most important stories I’ve ever published. This is a humanitarian crisis that has gone unreported.

"Nothing announces the end of freedom. You just wake up one day without it."

extremely broad and alarming drone no fly zone designed to protect ICE agents just dropped. notable in part because some folks have used drones to film law enforcement abuses: www.404media.co/feds-create-...

If you can't criticize your own party's leadership for being inept + ACTIVELY HARMFUL to the cause of saving democracy, what the hell are we doing here? I don't owe fealty to Congress. THEY WORK FOR US. We loan them OUR POWER to govern on our behalf. If they fail us, we take it back. Democracy101.

who the fuck WANTS their posts to go viral, have you ever had that actually happen? it's like getting a winning pull on a slot machine if wasps started pouring out the bottom instead of quarters

So we only care about child trafficking when it's made up and DEEPLY conspiratorial. Got it. Remember when it was right-wing bread and butter to be fucking WILD about wayfair conspiracies and pizza gate AND FUCKING ADRENOCHROME Who the fuck let these people vote

Do. Not. Forget. THESE PEOPLE ARE IMSUFFERABLY INSECURE WEIRDOS. NEVER LOSE SIGHT OF THAT. MAKE THEM FEEL IT PAINFULLY.

Me when bots bother me more than a sycophantic Nazi AI that's being used to denigrate literal children

I love love LOVE going to box stores when they're restocking Pokemon cards or Onepiece cards, grabbing a bunch and hiding them in the store down low where only kids can see them. We have watched some kids discover them and the joy is contagious.

I'm a science-minded stoner with ADHD and insatiable curiousity. I don't just smoke weed, I LEAEN ABOUT IT. You don't need to talk to me like I'm in the fucking DARE program.

Few things more frustrating than the medical demonization of vices. I shouldn't have to feel shame about my lifestyle just because you think I'm too stupid or immature to make rational long-term choices for myself. Where's the harm reduction?!?!
