my mom took tylenol when she was pregnant with me and now I post on a niche microblogging site everyday :/

Too late, Batman. Once this Tylenol floods the city's water supply, my wiki won't run out of editors ever again

so the Economist article isn't attributed an author. but someone in the replies of this 🧵 tipped me off that it was Jəsse Singal. & it turns out that it was, which in retrospect isn't surprising (as he's one of the ppl who would never answer this question):

Every new 4X game: "were so different from that stuffy civilization series!' Ok, what makes you different? 4X: "oh you know... Stuff. Look this guy's green tho!"

Conspiracy theorists about to have a real normal one

not to get too political but look at this

Apparently the last time there was a major rapture rumor, one of my friends left a bunch of clothes laying around at the park and set it up to look like some kids had been raptured. This is both funny and horrific to realize you're going to heaven butt ass naked

@eleanor.lockhart.contact the Great Khan of the Plains has quoted Andor. Truly a leader whose horde I wish to join.

Me: I want flat tummy again, I should be more regular about exercise Also me: lol what if I went to fat shack and got the heart attackinator 3000

Let’s see paul allen’s ahegao

A lot of people are learning that "embarassingly earnest and cringily dedicated to ideas like goodness and joy" make for really motivated comrades in the struggle for a better world

dudes rock

Ah but what if I refresh the skyline for a 78th time this morning, surely it will be suddenly bursting with interesting stuff the 78th time around

my favorite subgenre of Halloween decoration is “skeleton of things that absolutely do not have skeletons”

*mournfully shooting off a tshirt cannon into the sadly cheering funeral crowd*

big props to everyone who convinced the public that email server practices were the single most important issue facing the nation, glad we’ve kept that focus up throughout the following decade

The last guy in pop culture to yap about awakening the dragon got a pot of molten gold for a drink so perhaps it is the perfect metaphor after all

for all people mock it wikipedia is genuinely one of the wonders of the modern world

Warhammer is so funny man, on one side you have legions of undead robots with teleportation and shackled gods. On the other side you have a dude on a horse

Cut the hell out of my thumb doing stupid shit with a craft knife, ama

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win (h/t @miriamposner.com) www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

imo the idea (shared among both Helen Lewis and Shadi Hamid) is the idea that social media is a genuine public sphere when it's mostly just a place for Content. which is why so much of contemporary politics is basically fandom culture

So NATO is dead, yeah?

I am what the ancient greek philosophers called "sleebytired"

Cake voice: We are building a religion, we are building back bigger

Note the ability of the DHS director to exempt specific companies (and individuals or occupations) if it is deemed in the national interest. Yes, this is a reasonable exemption. Specific individuals, companies, and occupations are so critical we need them. It also is a pathway to patronage.

Hey what's the compliment of a decimation, where instead of losing one in ten people you lose nine in ten? Asking for a former employer

the Bush 2 speed run memes are real, huh?

I was reliably told celebrating political violence was cause for government reprisal and private sector termination.

america is ready for a president that’s a bulbasaur

Star Wars George Pearkes be like “Uh oh ITHOR: HORN WINS DUEL AGAINST SHEDAO SHAI ITHOR: YORIK CORAL PODS SEEN STREAKING TOWARDS PLANET ITHOR: FIRST SIGNS OF VONG BIOWEAPON DEPLOYED”

She's so dedicated to the lorge life that the treadmill is a nap spot instead of a treadmill

Hakeem Jeffries voted for Charlie Kirk Day but still isn’t sure if he’ll endorse Zohran Mamdani. This is why the approval rating of the Democratic Party is lower than Trump’s or the GOP.

Look I have my problems with Nat’l Dems in 2025, but we just can’t ignore the fact that the media is constantly trying (succeeding!) to bait us into a circular firing squad

It’s funny that the American media’s reference is a picture book for small children instead of, you know, Faust

Make sure to wish a librarian a happy Gerald Ford Trapped in The Penn Library Elevator Day.

Senate went nuclear and it barely made the news: apnews.com/article/sena...

hey so this is insane

in the future, everyone has their 15 seconds of being Rasputin

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

I gave my heart and soul to that place. Built entire sections for journalists pushed out of their home countries. When the writer I hired, Jamal Khashoggi was murdered by Saudi Arabia, they paraded me around as a symbol for press freedom. I put MY LIFE on the line to defend journalism and WaPo.
