Something I've learned this year is being American looks such an administrative pain in the arse - all that having to file your own tax returns and manage your own healthcare insurance. I don't think my lazy, disorganised arse could deal with it, I'd definitely fall through the cracks.

Did you know that the ringleader of the Minnesota daycare fraud scandal is white? She was convicted in March of this year. Aimee Bock is her name. Anyway being white has its perks in a white supremacist country it turns out

DEPLOY TSAR BOMBA

*serenely watching the sunset from the porch of a picturesque farmhouse* This life — the wife life — is all I ever wanted. But it ain’t for everyone. Some folks don’t wanna be tied down. Some folks prefer solitude. Some folks are even gay fer fellas, and heck, I reckon they’re doin just fine

there should be a non-alcoholic beer that still gets you drunk. and it's healthy for you. and it's free. and everything will be okay. tell me everything will be okay. tell me they'll make a non-alcoholic beer that still gets you drunk

libsoftiktok is now the third most powerful branch of government after the president and supreme court

Learned the French gov has a systemic version of white lib colorblindness where they don't collect data on race/ethnicity bc Universal Republicanism *technically* renders idpol obsolete Which is pretty bleakly funny for a country who'd have "super racist" in its top 3 Family Feud adjectives

I have to admit, I also always had kinda the wrong idea about Norman Rockwell until I saw the piece "Murder in Mississippi" as a teen in art history class

Wave in Backlight — Peter Witt oil on canvas 80 x 80 cm

Under this framework the Fugitive Slave act- passed by congress- was more liberal than the Emancipation Proclamation, since it was a an executive order

It’s 1:45am and I don’t think that was decaf

Chappell Roan apologizes after learning that Brigitte Bardot was French.

US citizens don't want home healthcare jobs. Not because they don't care about the elderly. But because the jobs are underpaid, overworked, and exploitative. Take Sylvia, a mom I interviewed who took a home healthcare job because it was her only option, then left it as soon as she could. 1/🧵

"you didn't see that on tiktok??" my tiktok feed is goats making strange noises, daewon song skate videos, and Chinese steel foundries advertising phonetically in English to me

Palantir. Sauron. CyberDyne. Blackrock. Mr Beast Inc. Cerberus. Blackwater. Anduril. Citizen. Citadel. Gilead. Bain Capital. Darktrace. Oracle. Umbra.

I used to manage wine programs for movie theaters and I am in the extremely unique position to say with professional certainty that the answer here is a crisp Albariño.

None of this is designed in a way to actually protect children, it's all built to funnel your ID/biometric data to an outside vendor whose data security practices are suspect at best. But the point was never actually about protecting kids, it's 2st Century Puritans getting their laws passed.

I wrote my dissertation on the history of hardboiled fiction and I’m really getting a kick out of the reversal of rian johnson bringing christie cosy cat mysteries back to America as a rebuke on US libertarianism

i am actually pretty interested in the psychic violence suffered by the people carrying out crimes against humanity, but not while they’re still committing the crimes! that’s something i start considering decades after their institutions are abolished and the ground salted behind them

you get into warhammer and you find yourself saying stuff like: "oh those are the blood angels. theyre kind of vampire-coded because they have a 'blood curse.' their primarch is named 'sanguinius'" and you start to die of embarrament about liking this and then you remember "count dooku"

Chicago Pope implies a Sonoran Pope, a New York Pope and a Chilli Footlong Pope

A big reason we don’t have UBI is because it would be good for everybody. Most in charge are willing to waste a lot of money and resources specifically to immiserate people and perpetuate an underclass.

deadass?

post deleted but it’s abolish ICE now and always has needed to happen

“Bringing back LimeWire to illegally rip copies of reporting suppressed by the government is definitely some cyberpunk shit,” a Bluesky user wrote.

As president, I promise to make it so

The first thing ICE did when it was created was raiding meat processing plants in the Midwest and south to help quell labor disputes over safety violations and keep those who weren't detained from getting legal protections as many had kids who grew up locally and were citizens with political power.

Every Steely Dan fan is a 25-30 year old that wants to be a 50 year old that wants to be a 22 year old. Idk, i phoned this take in but I think it ended up pretty good.

two things are true: in a remote setting, on a dark night, the deep sky is a truly profound experience that has influenced human philosophy, faith and religion for countless generations and that experience got absolutely rinsed by the first RCA 10 inch television

If you want a perfect snapshot of how bad twitter has gotten: I posted these weenies on here and instagram and the comments were “oh looks tasty.” I posted it on twitter and it trended as an international conflict

This administration lied about the people it sent to an overseas torture prison. It lies about the people it’s deporting. It lies every day to gain political advantage. Not a chance in hell they won’t lie about huge swaths of people they suspect might vote for the other party.

Dying at this review of Richard Linklater's Slacker

See reading shit like this makes me reconsider donor status on my id ngl.

The bloody ghost of my ancestor Lt. John Bacon, shot dead by a redcoat musket during the Battles of Lexington and Concord on April 19th, 1775, appeared at the side of my bed last night and said anyone can be American as long as they aren’t English

the shit I care least in the whole world about is whether the story about the Earl of Sandwich is true. yes it fucking was. my man was playing cards and eating meat with his hands and then he said hold up check this out. you won't believe this shit. bring me some fucking bread & hold onto your hats

I don’t know why but this makes me laugh so hard.

Shout out to my road dogg Pot Bear

Texas Universities are now like police departments who would prefer to pay out the inevitable lawsuits rather than stop breaking the law

Over the last 20 years, from taking people’s aux cords in cars, to fiddling with jukeboxes to adding Enya songs to my instagram stories ironically, I think I have brainwashed myself into sincerely liking Enya. This is so fucked up.

tbt when my dog came across some porno dvd on the sidewalk and 100% knew it was porno

I wrote the captions on this video the night Osama Bin Laden was killed and it’s probably the most shared thing I ever created.

this is a lot of money but in a decade she’ll be broke and jobless

Looking at buying a new PC because RAM is going to increase in cost by like 1500% in the next year due to AI, only to see every pre-built advertised as being “AI powered”
