If you have to impress your friends with your taste in media for them to not judge you, maybe consider looking for friends who appreciate you more. But honestly as soon as you realize your friends judge you for things you enjoy, run. That's usually a bad sign.

Please watch this. The Senate killed a bill to ban state regulation of AI by a vote of 99-1 this spring. Now the industry - eager to stay unregulated - and Trump are scheming to shove the provision in the national defense bill. You need to know this, so you can help stop it.

This is your sign btw that you should call Mastercard

DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.

i'm pretty much set on a thesis statement for this paper, and i also think i'm going to write it to acknowledge Mike is a historian as much as he's a librarian.

if i see someone being casually transphobic, i'm just blocking you. it's 2025, we've moved past mocking someone for looking like the "opposite sex" and i know you can be more creative than that anyway.

"I know - I'll just TAKE OFF the ankle monitor! Why has no one else thought of this before? I'M SO SMART."

I have been putting this off for I don’t know how long, but I did it, I created a Tumblr account. Bottom line, this is where my target audience is so I need to be there too. If you are someone who still has Tumblr, come, follow me, help me reach my target audience www.tumblr.com/thedailyelm/...

I do not like your AI slop I do not want this worthless glop I do not read its overviews I don't care what Grok says is true I do not like it here nor there I'm tired of it everywhere

“The president of the United States just called for members of Congress to be executed. If you are a person of influence in this country, maybe it’s time to pick a fucking side.” www.huffpost.com/entry/chris-...

i'm writing a paper on Derry (from It), just because. (i have no idea what i'll do with it when i'm done.)

Nobody: Nobody: Nobody: Me: ISABELLA ROSSELLINI IN DEATH BECOMES HER

monica lewinsky's boss exploited his position of power and she faced literally decades of mass harassment, cruelty, objectification, and misogynistic jokes and here we are in 2025, comedians still use her name as synonymous with blowjobs, i fucking hate it here.

OK, here’s a deal. This is not the end. There are still votes to be had. So we have to dust off our jeans and take a deep breath. We still have votes to go. 1/2

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

anyway, focus on who's up for reelection in 2026 and 2028, find out who's primarying them, and vote to get them out. do you live in a closed primary state? if so, you'll need to be a registered Democrat to do anything about the candidates being nominated by that party.

Just a reminder that writing a book, being creative, in the current state of the world is heroic. Keep creating. 💜

CT Governor Lamont has announced that he will fund SNAP for November in full. When the federal government won’t take care of its people, Connecticut will.

Good morning! AI is being force-fed to you by a handful of billionaires who will lose a bunch of money if they fail to convince you that you need it. You do not need it 🫶

Reposting because, and I say this with love, some of you are going to see this and go “oh shit, I need to check my bottle” and then immediately forget about it so if this could affect you, go check right now before you even scroll to the next post, I mean it.

you're gonna be in a wheelchair a helluva a lot sooner than you'll be in a luxury yacht. talk about accessibility *NOW*

Cheney was so evil that him dying actually lifted a curse

NEW: Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee and a state assemblymember, will become New York City’s next mayor, The Associated Press reports. He will be the city’s first Muslim mayor and, at age 34, ties the record for the youngest person to hold the office. https://to.pbs.org/4ovh28q

this is a reminder that we dont have to settle for newsom in 2028

As I block someone on TikTok: If you use Generative AI, I don’t want your opinion on anything. It means less than nothing to me. Your taste is rancid with the corruption of billionaires and empty of thought and interest. You are alike in critical thought to a rock on a lake shore.

Do not be a doomer about this. Just call your New York friends and remind them to vote, and tell them to do the same. He is more popular and will win with good turnout.

Disability advocacy is not for the faint of heart. You lose friends. People get upset that you’re not hiding your illness . People expect things of you that you can’t give. There’s no grace when you get something wrong (which will happen). Everyone doing this is a warrior!

Trod on a rake on purpose to see if they do the thing they do in cartoons. Yes they do

i had a panic attack on Alien Encounter at Disney World, in 99. i thought i was actually about to be teleported, and i already had existential anxiety, so i slipped the restraints and ran past my mom to the exit. a cast member wrangled me and kept me company until my mom and sister got off the ride.

If ICE is showing up at food pantries, your work as white folks is to ASK US WHAT OUR NUTRITIONAL NEEDS ARE and help meet them. Whether that's sending direct aid, buying from people's lists, or you and your friends prep and deliver meals to Black and Brown folks in need

Disability and poverty go hand in hand. Anyone can become disabled at any time It’s not a moral failing. It’s not something you can “try harder” your way out of, and it’s an expensive existence You are much closer to being sick and unhoused than you are to being rich & secure

I am thinking of the people of Jamaica, and the many New Yorkers with loved ones there, as Hurricane Melissa — fueled by a warming ocean — grows into the strongest storm ever to bear down upon the island.

and finally, ppl deserve food. even if they don't work or aren't unable to or whatever. humans need food and they should have it regardless. no qualifiers needed.

A portion of every dollar spent on Harry Potter merchandise goes to anti-transgender campaigns.

Food insecurity is ALWAYS a political choice. Famine is ALWAYS manmade. People go hungry because of other people’s decisions. We have more than enough food for everyone, and enormous amounts of it are wasted—literally thrown in the garbage—on purpose.

If I didn't know better, I would say this just looks like a bunch of carrots.

ATTENTION! Chris here: Down to the wire. About to lose our storage and home. If we can last a couple more months here I can move us to an apt that is far more affordable/avoid sleeping in the car. Im going to open a new digital bundle tier for $105 which gets you everything in the shop plus bonuses.

Thinking about Ernest Hemingway and how he loved his cat, a polydactyl cat named Snow White, so much that he put it in his will to give all her descendants full run of his estate

Christopher Lee with his cat, Renfield.

Mom is on another weeklong trip, so Sneaks is once again constantly staring daggers at me and hissing until I Return his Mama

John Oliver is what liberals imagine Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert to be — a genuine critic of America’s systemic failures who stands up for trans people and other marginalized groups, while actually offering real actions and hopeful solutions.

if you enjoy my work in any capacity and would like to help me stay afloat amidst ongoing medical treatment as well as recover from (still unresolved) fraudulent charges to my bank account, I keep a tipjar here. no pressure, but it lessens the burden and keeps me creating. ko-fi.com/sabattons/go...

Fuck Columbus. And fuck Columbus Day.

We should be asking this c o n s t a n t l y.

I really need people who call Biden genocide Joe to understand that the deal that Trump just made was Biden‘s deal. But Trump and BB worked together so that Bebe wouldn’t agree to it under Biden. 1/2

I don’t think we’re talking enough about the fact that we successfully took back the frog. Like it has been a meme for the alt right for years now, and thanks to these Portland inflatable costumes, we’re taking it back

It cannot be made clearer. If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.
