This evil shit needs to be shut down for many reasons, but even if you don't care about anything else, this right here should be a deal breaker.

I think a lot about the story Carl Reiner told: he’d have been a sewing machine repairman if not for a free WPA drama class. That led to other theater work, to Sid Caesar, to Mel Brooks, and all the rest. All because of one free class paid for by a government that felt the arts were worth teaching.

GREMLINS 3???

Have you ever been so snotty that you had to stick tissues in your nostrils just to get some sleep? No? Just me? 😩

THEY DIDN'T EVEN BOTHER TO USE A GUILLOTINE CUTTER IT WAS TODDLER SCISSORS ALL THE WAY DOWN

I'm ready for apologies from pundits and politicians who showed their bigoted asses and suggested we needed to abandon trans people in order to win. looks like "fairness in girls' sports" wasn't the unbeatable wedge issue you thought it was, was it? kinda makes you look like a dumbass, huh?

Why is the Fitbit app so annoyingly confusing 😭

Just woke up from a truly stressful war dream where one side was human and one side was...birds. TALKING BIRDS.

If you hear "1 in 50 Americans received food stamps in 1970 and now 1 in 8 do" and your first instinct isn't "damn you Reagan" but "should more people starve?" then it may be too late for you to fix your heart.

I am skeptical of shirt jackets, but I know one thing: people who call them "shackets" are going to hell.

just asking, what did Cuomos dad do for a living

There are plenty of folks online who 1) consider themselves progressive, and 2) say we have to sacrifice trans rights in order to win elections. They're full of shit. They say this not as strategy, but because they're transphobic assholes. I will not be countenancing denials.

i know it's hard to understand cause it's a lot of people that don't love nobody but themselves... but when you find the capacity to love beyond what you birth it's bigger than blood... It's bond!

My kids have called @mostlybree.kitrocha.com "Auntie Bee" all their lives, even though she is not technically their aunt. People are really out here reaching, aren't they?

I slept until 1 pm (I promise I'm gonna live!) but my Discord was ON IT today!

Oh hey, a reason to be hopeful: groves of American chestnut trees have once again become self-reproducing in the wild. Turned off comments so 12 people don't show up to tell me why this is actually very sad. Be happy, you assholes.

Melissa basically isn't even a hurricane anymore; it's more like an island-sized tornado. That is a legitimately terrifying concept.

Updated with an interview with Feeding Alabama CEO Laura Lester, who notes SNAP recipients get about $6/day, which allows most to get three weeks worth of food before they go to food banks.

Today, I hit a milestone: I finally managed to navigate the vocal transitions in Laid by James.

The most unrealistic thing about cop shows is that those characters actually solve crimes instead of just fucking everything up.

The dooming on this site is getting out of control. Every time you post anything about politics some rando condescendingly wonders how you can't possibly know that elections are over and all hope is lost. If you've completely lost hope, I'm sorry, but shut the fuck up, OK? You're not helping.

"I didnt personally see / experience it so it doesn't exist" is like 99% of shitty peoples takes on the world.

34 people killed in 50 days. Their guilt or innocence unknown, for an alleged crime that doesn't carry a death sentence. That's a lot of death. adamisacson.com/boat-strikes/

Reminder that in almost every single case so far where DHS claims someone assaulted an officer, when DHS officials have to show up in court and testify under oath, with video evidence and witness testimony also entered into the record, they recant. Because they made it up.

The amount of white men telling on themselves by either defending it or talking about how they too are Nazi interested unprompted is wild. There are actual OG Nazis that will die before admitting they are Nazis.

"Marines get ill-advised tattoos" Yeah, my husband has this hella ugly upper arm band he got near Twenty-Nine Palms in the late 90s NOT A NAZI TATTOO

Just saw a roofing business with a sign that said, HOT SHINGLES IN YOUR AREA. 😂

I got a weirdly packaged box of tissues. Every time I reach for one, two come out. I have realized I would pay extra for this feature.

😭❤️

It’s funny that the song “Let's Hear It for the Boy” is a woman singing about how her mediocre boyfriend deserves a round of applause and it was written by two men. And it’s catchy as hell. The perfect crime.

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."

Who has recorded your favorite version of Long Black Veil? I'm partial to Mick Jagger's collaboration with the Chieftains.

I just heard someone describe Hereditary as an art house version of Paranormal Activity. And now I can't unsee it.

It starts even before the kid is born. I was looking at videos on how to get your baby to burp/fart (for those who don't know, infant gastrics are made out of drywall dust and dreams) and next thing you know I'm getting videos about beef tallow as moisturizer and antivax lies.

Okay, storytime. I have had 2 C-sections in my life that left me with nerve damage. I cannot properly appreciate the sensation of pain in some areas. But I have physical symptoms of it--primarily sweating and restlessness. It doesn't HURT, but it's stressful on my body. So just treat pain, FFS.

The funniest part of all the billionaires are building bunker stories is the part where they’re sure the class hierarchy will survive the apocalypse.

My next book is totally gonna be about a heroine who can kill someone with her brain. Why? OH, NO REASON LOLSOB

D’Angelo, the neo-soul trailblazer and modern visionary whose three albums were all heralded as classic works of art, has died at age 51. Access the free article here: www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

The use of AI to marionette a woman whose tortured existence was spent trying to carve her own life and identity out of the space men forced her into is both damningly macabre and a surprisingly perfect encapsulation of the problems with this ghoulish use of technology.

I remember my aunt's landline number from my childhood. I do not actually know my own children's cell phone numbers.

lol “find your own instead of stealing” in defense of columbus day

As a physician who delivers babies, I can only say this is terrible and pregnant patients and babies will become harmed or die when pregnant patients limit visits due to fear of ICE kidnapping. Put another way: ICE's activities will cause fetal/pregnancy deaths.

Do you have access to a 3d printer? You can make whistles to help protect your neighbors pretty easily; this model on makerworld is public domain & 120db+ makerworld.com/en/models/41... for folks with Bambu printers Here's another on printables www.printables.com/model/65-whi...

Is this anything

Remember self-care. Sprinkle some joy in with the doom scrollin' and whatnot. I love you and there's absolutely nothin' you can do about it.

My column from Monday. Don’t call it “self-deportation.” Two immigrants living in Alabama were detained despite having no criminal records. They were coerced into leaving the country. It reflects an immigration system whose single goal is creating a class of people outside the law.

after millions of views and shares of my Portland Frog art. (thank you all🙏🏾) I got requests to highlight priests, and chickens, and Chicagoans, and T-Rexes, and more… all of us who refuse to bend the knee. so this is for US. 𝚂𝚝𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚃𝚊𝚕𝚕. 𝚆𝚎 𝚆𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚆𝚒𝚗.
