The great thing about roundabouts is you can go around as many times as you want to. Get a couple drinks under your belt and put on your favorite tunes. It's best after Dark.

I ain't that smart, but I'm fairly quick, and as someone who has traveled this great nation of ours for decades I am sure of one thing: from bloomingdales to burning man, every group I have ever met in my life is certain they have the "truth" while all other opinions are "ops" Every. Single. Time.

well this is certainly something

In 2026 or 2027, MAGA will create an American version of the Russian Orthodox Church. A denomination that gets precedent and privilege over the others. A "state sanctioned" religion. This will come right before he eliminates Congress and makes himself permanent leader. Who wants to take that bet??

This. This right here will be why I lose friends in 2026. Not because we disagree. But because I have to 'respect' them by stopping and making sure they understand what is being said. I'm sorry. I can't see things like someone who has no idea what the conversation is even ABOUT.

We need those who claim to be “left” to stop punching down on the disabled, covid cautious and immune compromised. Masking is resistance. It’s community care. The ruling class wants you sick and weak so you won’t fight back. Healthcare is being gutted. There’s never been a better time to mask

if when you hear me refer to "rural areas" you are picturing an English town with a downtown and then a bunch of single-family homes built around it in a sensible grid or whatever, you are not picturing what I'm talking about "rural" where I'm from is not transit-soluble.nothing is next to anything

few people have gotten liberals closer to comfortable fascism than Jon Stewart. maybe Aaron Sorkin??

Rodgers has become more immature as he’s aged. Have I got that right?

You know what, fuck it, I'm having a bit of current events as a treat: if I catch you posting weepy eulogies for this racist, sexist, fascist piece of shit who spent her time and money stirring up racial hatred because you had a wank to her picture in the 30s I am blocking your racist ass.

My girlfriend has never seen The Simpsons. If i get a pussy she'll watch it with me during recovery [insert Simpsons Golden Era reference my girlfriend won't understand] gofund.me/f032b760

much of fitness culture in the US was developed by people who literally entered sports and physical education instead of going to therapy and the attitudes around intensity and effort kinda reflect that. the smiling Jazzercise folks were right and your football coach / PE teacher was wrong

2nd movie complete and up on YouTube 3rd movie on the way completing this long form vid has been extremely difficult while switching 1) my DAW 2) my video editing software and 3) switching everything else to Linux, but... we're getting it 😎 #production #narration #YouTube youtu.be/zjY5gGanWCo

Just saw a senior in my field—who doesn’t acknowledge my existence other than to call my work “activist”, with no substantive engagement—liked the man’s post. Same senior who trashes women of colour in AI but co-opts their ideas. I’m so done with the leg lifting & men liking other men’s leg lifting.

Vicky doesn't allow for quote posting but I think people forget during BLM protests a teenager killed protesters and was not only not convicted but raised a hundreds of thousands of dollars for doing it.

do you know that trope where characters talk in a cagey way about Israel and it's funny because it's SUCH a touchy issue. Like this scene from Rick and Morty. if you have examples of this trope please let me know. is there a tv tropes entry for it lol I can't find it youtu.be/xCTTq0q4h-A?...

no ... no I did not *runs off to YouTube*

What a fun video game everyone is having so much fun

RFK Jr.’s changes to the vaccination schedule will kill thousands of American children. But my liberal neighbors handed out apples and raisins on Halloween. I have never felt more politically homeless.

Democrats actually do well in portions of the rural South, but that would require Politico to see rural Black Americans, which they don't. Democrats spy rare opening in rural America www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

If you think of replacement theory as a political ideology that creates policy, law, and political identity, a lot of what you're seeing and hearing in the discourse becomes intelligible and terrifying. Bigotry always tells on itself, y'all.

It does not come as a surprise, but it always amazes me this so-masculine habit of lifting their leg on other people's gardens. The widespread use in the academic context and the entitlement assumption that accompanies it are truly striking.

I get asked “who are you funded by????” a lot. The answer? YOU! Barring several grants from democracy or science focused foundations, @standupforscience.bsky.social is people powered! We turn your dollars into activism and I take this stewardship very seriously! Ask me anything in the comments!

"It is only 'gallows humor' if the rope is around YOUR neck... otherwise you're just part of the execution."

Until Trump began conspiracies about mail voting, Republicans were fully on board with GRACE PERIODS for ballots to arrive as long as postmarked by Election Day. They passed it overwhelmingly in KS, OH, & elsewhere. But now Trump hates it. So 4 red states—KS, OH, ND, UT—all banned it this year.

today was the first day I sent a text without punctuation a simple "how are you liking the city so far" and now I feel like I need to run off and watch Kpop Demon Hunters or something

bout time

Calling it now... In 2026 there will be a group that MAGA no longer consides "yhte". Idk if it'll be Ukrainian, slavik (hell my dumbass doesn't even know if that's the same thing), or what... but watch... it's coming.

Don't conflate radicalism, power, and militancy with mere violence. Militancy can mean organizing your community, building networks to exist and survive, to hide people who are being persecuted, to expose and hound the persecutors, and yes - violence at last, if necessary to protect those things.

please.. please read this It might save your life

"Early gender gaps condition future educational decisions and labor market and social outcomes. There is extensive evidence reporting the existence of significant gender gaps in mathematical and scientific competencies at age 15..."

fascinating

Oh.

Saying “what’s happening to Bari Weiss is Jew hatred” is like calling critics of Clarence Thomas racist. It’s an attempt to shut down discussion, not a remotely serious argument.

And now for some motivation from the Owensboro Burger King.

is that Batman??

Picasso and Warhol are still very much in copyright and these are copying their work pretty exactly… the thing AI companies promised wouldn’t happen 🙄🙄

Seasons greetings.

Mark Cuban's takes make a lot more sense once you understand he became a billionaire off what is widely considered to be the worst and most overpriced tech acquisition of all time. He doesn't understand how anything works, isn't going to listen to reason, and is just not a serious person at all.

there's not a lot of "unbreakable" records in sports - but Wilt Chamberlain averaging over 50 points per game for an NBA season has got to be in the conversation, right?

Absolutely no irony watching two sons of Italian immigrants - where Italians were deemed threat to Anglo-Saxon nature of America - achieving the heights of American cultural achievement and saying its a lesson in the danger of immigrants to our culture.

Remember all those years right up to the moment where my wife said she wanted a divorce, where I didn't have to think about my marriage at all because we had no problems whatsoever and I was the perfect husband?

Ya know, I'm no polisci professor or anything, but even I could notice these are all Republicans doesn't that seem relevant? That it is the same party that is currently attempting to publicly validate a Christian fascist regime? That's certainly... something... innit?

they invented a memory she doesn’t remember, because it never happened, and now this woman has to lie to her family on Xmas because everyone is looking at her expectingly and she doesn't wanna ruin their day This is a black mirror episode MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!

No one’s suggesting you’ve never helped anyone. With your resources I’d hope to God you’ve helped many, and I’m sure you have. But you condescend to people living lives you’re forever insulated from living yourself—you could choose to listen to poor people rather than lecture from your throne

Is there anything bleaker than a thin skinned billionaire seeking attention for profiting off pharmaceuticals at a lower market up than competitors like he’s the good guy?
