i would say a crack has opened up in the centrist project and it is our duty to pound and pound until we drive a wedge deep enough to splinter it and toss it on the campfire

Subtweet Alert System fuck your borders. They’re imaginary lines drawn by assholes suffering from, at best, the narcissism of small differences, or outright sociopathy. Most aren’t even old. Just everywhere. Fuck borders. Emma Lazarus with the win, everywhere, every damn time.

Dick Cheney’s legacy is that he turned 9/11 from a national tragedy into a global disaster. He did so through a mixture of arrogance, stupidity and greed and blighted the last quarter century.

You didn't escape fast enough so, ok but they kinda are you see, because we have no idea how they reproduce! Only that at some point all freshwater European eels will convert themselves into being ok in salt water(!), cross the Atlantic (!!), to Bermuda (!!!) and we just have no idea what happens...

The billionaires can buy the newspapers and buy social media and buy attack ads, but they can't buy their way out of how much we fucking hate all of them.

Pretty sure this week is a punishment for something.

Dick Van Dyke has OUTLIVED Dick Cheney

lmaoooooo buy the ticket, take the ride

Reprehensible

can we finally stop worshipping these executive fuckfaces as some sort of godsent gift to humanity? they're not visionaries, they're assholes

"What should poor people be allowed to eat?" seems to be a burning question for those who aren't poor, have never been poor, and can afford to eat what they like, but want to keep poor people from eating anything that tastes really good. "No fresh meat," said Iowa, a few years ago.

I just wish I could communicate to sane people exactly how much work and effort goes into just staying on top of a severe mental illness, how little is left after you've burned the energy needed not to just spiral and spiral and spiral. And when that isn't enough....

My brain is really intensely resistant to work today and I just had the thought that sick days exist. Now my brain is full gollum.

Centrism is the belief that society achieved perfection around the same time as you became a homeowner

This quote is set to be on the intro slide of an undergraduate lecture, soon.

Academics in Assyria in the 7th c BC complain that admin is preventing them from doing research and teaching

Probably shouldn't have scheduled the vaccine boosters for time change weekend. My brain is all kinds of wrong.

"Person who dressed to the nines for the first date in a long time with her long-distance boyfriend, but then got lost in the maze of constant construction at Shibuya Station" x.com/dailyportalz...

The Cortylorhynchus considers my problems, nods sagely, and says, "have you tried basking in the sun about it? While being as spherical as possible?"

on halloween, if a strange cat comes to your door and then passes out on your stuff while looking like a drunk old man, you have to keep the cat. also this applies to all other nights

#HappyHalloween I hope everyone has a spooktacular day. I would like to show you my knitted "Halloween Sheep" cushion cover 🎃🖤🐑🧡 #halloween #spooky #Sheep #pumpkin #knitted #knitting #moon #spooktacular #knits

Remember the most important tenet of liberation work: listen to marginalised voices. If you actually want to help sex workers, listen to them. If they tell you that your movement to abolish sex work hurts them, pay attention! Otherwise, you're not helping them. You're just feeding your ego.

I'd like to see progressives grow a spine and talk about how good immigration is. Just because the narrative of immigration harm is manufactured doesn't mean it can't hurt you — as is obvious. If you didn't go into politics with the guts to shift narratives, it's the wrong line of work for you.

They literally ruin everything they touch

‘I will tear you shoes apart!’

I really don't think I'm psychologically ready for two months of xmas.

Yknow i think they shouldnt be allowed to revoke his titles cause the fact a prince can be a horrible person is why you shouldnt have a monarchy innit. What you mean “punishment“? He shouldnt have had a title to begin with this is about protecting the crown

i'm sure everything will be fine

Monsters walk amongst us.

Sharks absolutely get cancer, and people claiming otherwise are pseudoscientific grifters preying on the desperate. Even if sharks did not get cancer, eating shark would not cure your cancer any more than eating LeBron James would make you better at basketball.

Buffalo Hunter Hunter is exceptional.

Also horribly intrigued what Bending Spoons is going to enshittify from *AOL*…

JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing. Let me tell you two menswear stories related to this claim. 🧵

God forbid a woman try to revive Victorian beauty standards 🙄

But...

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

When cats are confused by or upset about something, they just smack the shit out of whatever it is that's frustrating them and I think that's beautiful.

Syphillis used to be so common and so destructive it would just destroy soft tissue on the face (and hands/feet), so people could AND DID form No Nose clubs so that they had a group of friends they could hang out with and just exist before it sent them into dementia and a horrible death.

10/10 headline. Some sub-editor just earned their Christmas bonus.

You see a guy who looks like a doge staffer, and you instantly know to stay the hell away from that little freak. You see a woman with blue hair, and you know she is not only cool but her mere presence drives those freakish dudes away into their podcast studios to whine for 3 solid hours about woke

what can I even say but *uncomfortably prolonged jerk-off gesture* ah yes of course this is the opinion that exactly this guy would have

You know when Terry Pratchett said 'It doesn't stop being magic just because you know how it works'? Yeah, he meant this.

For those asking how to support, here’s how: www.greenbootsgardens.com/get-involved

A symptom of this is how we’ve redefined “successful business” from “making more money than it spends” to “making more money than it did last year”. We’ve lost the concept of being satisfied.

I keep getting notified about positions as a "Nuclear technician AI trainer" and I'd like to once again state that this is a job that cannot be allowed to exist. No language model should ever have the "trained by real nuclear technicians" seal of approval stamped on it.

NOAA hurricane hunters flying aboard a P-3 Orion aircraft ("Kermit") are monitoring Hurricane Melissa as most aircraft steer clear. The storm poses a catastrophic threat to Jamaica and Haiti. The crew are among the many federal workers working without pay during the US government shutdown.
