What’s your question you illiterate racist?

notably massachusetts simply added a new top bracket with 4% extra, inflation-indexed what "top bracket" means, and let 'er rip many, many "tax the rich" proposals here on the west coast seem like they're competing to be the earth's cleverest tax and are clearly much worse ideas than this

smoked meat vanishing into a human face, forever

Actually everyone in Texas is about to be vegan

alright this guy absolutely has scrambled eggs for brains

Man what

"coders who don't want to code" I'm sorry, literally everything we do as software engineers is about avoiding work.

There's a guy On Here giving it all "Actually Monstrous Regiment is about women disguising themselves as men so they can serve in the army, as has happened previously in history, it's not about trans things" and you have to wonder how some people make it through the day without being hit by traffic

cute girl on the bus: what are you listening to? (in my airpods) 𝐼 𝑙𝑖𝑣𝑒 𝑖𝑛 𝑑𝑎 𝑡𝑜𝑖𝑙𝑒𝑡. 𝑂𝑜𝑔𝑎 𝐵𝑜𝑜𝑔𝑎! 𝐼’𝑚 𝑑𝑎𝑡 𝑇𝑜𝑖𝑙𝑒𝑡 𝑀𝑎𝑛! me: Beethoven

As a relatively recent Baseball Sicko, one thing I am still grappling with is how to follow and enjoy a sport for 162 games when my favorite team makes me insane with rage on a daily basis. How do you guys do it and stay mentally healt—wait, okay, I see the answer.

"in general we are still commanded by people who managed to live through the years 1931-9 without even discovering that Hitler was dangerous" really hits

well well well, looks like the chicago pope everyone likes agrees with me bsky.app/profile/nbcn...

DON'T BELIEVE HIS LIES

We have *never* before seen consumer sentiment this low.

I’m rereading THE TWO TOWERS right now and he literally tells the Three Hunters—as an aside!—that he was doing a wizard arm-wrestle with Sauron

i cant find a legit source for this but reuters is saying theyre down like 1/4 on refining capacity

Accidentally slipped into my domme voice while dealing with a belligerent patient today and she immediately became much more agreeable 😵‍💫

You can always count on Donald Trump to handle a public health emergency

some jokes write themselves

Very excited, and I know airlines are very excited, for the only permitted international flights from/to the US to be into a potato field in Idaho

This plan is actively *insane.* Airlines cannot divert large numbers of international flights from one city to another; they'd just have to cancel flights en masse, causing enormous economic damage that splashed waaaaay beyond a few big cities that were the target.

[puts finger to ear] you're telling me nintendo makes games for children? wow

Kevin Hart is the first guy to get addicted to being in commercials for gambling.

I legitimately think we'd be in a second Biden term if he stayed in Afghanistan. It turned the media against him (particularly Tapper) and got him apparently negative goodwill among these morons.

i am once again begging the trump administration to end international travel in and out of every major city in the united states and see what happens

The Park Slope Food Coop vote to boycott Israeli goods PASSES, 67%–31%, with 2% abstaining. 4,551 pro-boycott 2,083 anti-boycott (6,772 total present)

so, that’s mcconnell and cornyn both basically out as top fundraisers for the GOP, who’s next?

*I have no prediction on today or Nov. Just a reminder: TX turnout is bad, primary turnout worse, primary runoff abysmal. (Total turnout in the 2022 Paxton/GP Bush AG runoff was 5.4%.) R primary + runoff voters tend to be further right than general election-only voters. *See above. No prediction.

What kind of music do you think the Bob Haney Teen Titans listened to?

free tickets require a ticketmaster account and are only available for the simulcast at the ellipse, ringside seats are only available for the military and people who pay $1.5M a seat, what a fucking disgusting and enraging scam, everyone involved deserves to die in prison

well yes! and?

I see people are grappling with the politics of my state again and one thing I will add that others aren't is that Cornyn had developed himself the reputation of a gun grabber in the state, which is a death sentence

It is with deep sorrow and profound love that we announce the passing of Sonny Rollins. The Saxophone Colossus died this afternoon at his home in Woodstock, NY at the age of 95. 1/2

fun is reactionary. frivolity is bourgeois. know the difference

Paxton is not a very good small dollar fundraiser, either, so unless he’s activating large dollar donors who would otherwise sit out (unlikely) he’s a bleeding wound for the institutional GOP money organs

What if taxing the rich works?

Need this

Say less stupid shit

My t-shirt, questions, etc

I just really want Europeans to understand that you can’t *grit* your way through heatstroke. Chicago suffered a terrible heatwave in 1995 and 700+ people died. Please figure this out sooner rather than later, I am begging you. It’s only going to get worse.

he is monstrously corrupt, right wing, a lecher, a cheat, and is now embroiled in a scandal where his office gave sweetheart deals to pedophiles

This is the best possible future scenario for democracy in TX. The GOP was very competitive in OR, WA, and CA in the 90s, but now is basically unviable in statewide races because their brand just became too toxic for a majority of voters and the GOP primary electorate refused to course correct.

For far too long, this country has been governed by people who were either unable or simply unwilling to post brief videos of themselves being bitten multiple times by snakes that they had just picked up for some reason,

this isn't even correct, bouncy castles are homes of the bouncy aristocracy, not the bourgeoisie

Ah thanks dude and hey [Mayor Mamdani code switching to perfect Huttese] good tah stuka u nenoleeya unko!
