Dear American Journalists: You can say the word "lies" or "lied". No one's gonna take offense (at least, no one that wouldn't be offended anyway).

Yesterday morning I asked myself "When was the last time the perpetrator of a high-profile mass-casualty event (shooting, bombing, car rampage, ...) not captured within a few days? Well, I've got my answer. Stay safe, Rhode Island.

Yes, Virginia, the Trump Administration did go to the Supreme Court to demand its permission to starve the poor today.

Please don't assault me with aromas of onion and mustard. I might get hungry.

May Dick Cheney's pacemaker rest in peace.

Or, in @charliejane.bsky.social ‘s case, Dad Funk…

It seems that the right will do *anything* to distract us from the Epstein files.

I sincerely hope that Charlie Kirk fully recovers from his injuries. And then decides to never be seen in the public eye again.

I never thought that the fact that I was a smoker in my 20s would turn out to be a heath benefit.

Seattle folks: please come to Gas Works Park this Saturday to make sure the hate gets drowned out by the love.

Hey Guitar Center - everything OK over there?

This is making me unreasonably happy

New retro playlist just dropped

Are you fucking shitting me

I want to believe it’s actually inscribed on an ancient scroll. Or maybe: golden plates!

Two types of people I'm not convinced are entirely human: Cirque Du Soleil acrobats, and death metal drummers.

"RFO: Cletus"

Finally de-Teslafied my household. I'm happy to be finally driving a car where I don't have to worry about people getting nauseous in, for multiple reasons.

A friend of mine recently got a renewed passport with the wrong gender marker, and (reasonably) doesn't feel safe using it. Really glad to see this victory, and I *really* hope it survives appeal. Thank you, @aclu.org !

When you’re in your car driving past protestors and want to show solidarity… short bursts of the car horn, please! #nokings

I cannot stress enough how much the anti-ICE protests are an overwhelming win for Democrats on social media. I’m seeing Instagram influencers who stayed silent on politics for the past year loudly sharing support for immigrants. I’m seeing podcasters who interviewed Trump talk about how wrong ICE is

Seen in Seattle...I'm feeling caw'ed out.

And y'all thought they would stop at abortion? www.nytimes.com/2025/06/10/u...

Taking a road trip to Portland; picked a parking garage closest to the hotel that’s got free EV chargers. The chargers:

Either that, or “relationship anarchist”…

Every time I say "That's a Polly girl", I picture her saying in the little made up doggy voice I always use "I prefer to be called an ethical non-monogamist".

Yes, we do, you ignorant ass.

"They'll be fine without hormones!" No, they won't. Many trans people can no longer produce their own sex hormones and will develop significant and costly health problems, up to and including premature osteoporosis. The rest will be tortured by the resurgence of the wrong hormones in their blood.

This is the most severe attempt to erase trans Americans' right to exist to date. And I'm sure that if this passes, there's more coming.

happy world goth day to those who celebrate 🖤

TIL: When the Original Star Wars Trilogy finally aired on Chilean TV in 2003, the network spliced custom beer commercials into the films themselves to avoid cutting to commercial breaks. these additional scenes turn Obi-Wan & Luke into raging space alcoholics who are constantly shotgunning booze.

In addition to all the other steps on the so-called relationship escalator, the comfort you need to be able to mercilessly roast each other to a crisp needs to fit in *somewhere*.

Week three of hearing aids: the realization that it's quite useful to be able to literally turn down the volume of the world.

Protip from a long-lost article I've read earlier on the topic: As a final question, ask the candidate how fat Kim Jong Un is. www.wired.com/story/north-...

Fine. More semicolons for the rest of us.

Just got hearing aids fitted. Hey kids: *please* wear hearing protection when you're standing in front of the subwoofers at the club. In other news, I can hear my hair.

Think I might bookmark this for possible litigation use, if the question of consent ever comes up.

What my various inboxes are full of. 👇🏻 Screw the so-called Labour Party; screw the so-called EHRC; and screw the so-called Supreme Court: you've not made even one woman safer but you're causing great cruelty to tens of thousands of people leading blameless lives.

C'mon, @washingtonpost.com . Trans women are women. Do better.

I feel like we're kind of overlooking the fact that the head of the Department of Health and Human Services sat in a Steak n Shake yesterday and basically said getting measles is better than getting a measles vaccine.

Supporting bathroom, sports and healthcare bans for trans people means signing on to a moral panic about problems that DON'T EXIST. When people say Democrats should "moderate" on these issues, they are suggesting that we legislate a group out of public life based on lies.

Your Democratic representatives, throwing trans kids under the bus as an appeasement strategy. Because those *always* work out for the best.

My sense of humor is so black that Anish Kapoor wants exclusive rights to it. How black is *your* sense of humor?

Remember that some of these prisoners have had gender confirmation surgery. They *will* be raped. Some will be killed afterwards.

Remember that in fear of educated Cambodians who might figure out a way to overthrow him, Pol Pot ordered mass executions for the crime of (checks notes) wearing eyeglasses.

We're expediting sex designation change requests on birth certificates. People born in WA who want to change the sex designation on their birth certificate can do so by filing a request with us. . doh.wa.gov/DesignationC...

Federal employees considering taking Musk's "Fork In The Road" buyout: Know that he stiffed thousands of former Twitter employees of their deserved severance payments. www.courtlistener.com/docket/67615...

I fully expect Musk to honor the terms of the "Fork In The Road" buyout as faithfully as he honored the terms of Twitter's severance policy when he fired half of the staff there.
