'how dare anyone discuss the character of this precious child who simply wants to be a core part of affecting the lives and deaths of hundreds of millions of people?'

Absolutely love this haiku by one of the school's fourth graders.

I'm as adjacent as the next guy

A common feature im noticing is rather than left wing populism being about a belief that the govt can produce material wealth via centralization its just about the idea that market constraints arent real

One hill I will die on is that even though there is value in our unique individual perspectives and life is a rich tapestry, there are objectively right ways to do certain things—especially in the realm of housekeeping—and it is bad and offensive to refuse to learn them.

Great. Now someone just has to imagine this film accurately, down to the minutest detail, to prevent it from ever happening.

Like yeah conservatives lamenting their inability to push their vision through art in the Taylor Sheridan glow up era really ought to hip people to what they’re actually calling for

The conservative-asshole-man move for so many years now has been threatening to leave a place or role where no one ever wanted them in the first place.

1. Decide to look at phone while eating even though I lose so much time to it every day. 2. Set alarm for 11:15 to keep me from losing too much time to it. 3. Turn off alarm so I can finish watching Columbo clip I've seen before. 4. … 5. It is now 11:41.

hope you brought urine!

The misogyny inherent in thinking men who betray and harm women haven't really done anything wrong is pretty damn stark.

🔥 take: The vast majority of our art is already pretty fucking conservative

The funniest thing about this is that Chris Nolan arguably made the most commercially successful right wing art of recent years with the Dark Knight films, and they're currently melting down at him for mildly unracist casting

We're ordering pizzas! Any vegetarians? No problem: we'll order one with mushrooms, red onions, yellow onions, green peppers, red peppers, black olives, green olives, tomatoes, artichokes, broccoli, pineapple, and spinach. It'll be great, you'll barely be able to pick up a piece.

Pleased to report that Jenny Lewis continues to rule.

I just wanna reup this take for, well, lots of reasons

Grogu has died. At the box office I mean. But also in the park across the street from me. I didn’t see what happened but I also didn’t help

Hi, I'm Julie! After losing my job I moved from North Carolina to be safe in Oregon because I am trans. I am raising money to finish the move. Please share and donate if you can gofund.me/60b1e917 #helpsky #fundsky #MutualAid #MutualAidrequest

paul mccartney: this is my most personal album yet, i will finally lay bare my feelings about the biggest moments in my life paul mccartney's album: ba da doo doo do oh yeah

Okay but like just because we are all awkward and annoyed at the thought of going to things, that does not render the basic idea untrue

I care less about the not-recusing than about a justice's child being a secret appointee at a major federal agency.

Did you see this??? An entire 50 PERCENT of Democratic voters under 30 want the party to MOVE TO THE LEFT on transgender issues. Comparing with other issues polled, it's second only to healthcare as an issue younger voters want to see the party move left on.

The important things is that men sexting multiple women who are not their wives finally have a political candidate they can relate to

This 100% ends with at least half of Lincoln's face sheared off

Wait wait wait, Platner is a creep who disrespects his wife? The slur guy? The mercenary? The guy who loved doing imperialist violence? Are you sure? The guy who pretends to be a working class common joe whose excuse for his nazi tattoo was that he's very stupid? That guy? No. Don't buy it.

It would be cool if a bunch of big entertainers threw together a show and also participated in a documentary about throwing together the show.

I feel like it's just gonna end with Mainers deciding that Susan Collins may be a Republican but at least she's not a shambling incarnation of nonstop annoying mess.

Their new girlfriend is women

I did not know this (never managed to play Zelda 2 for more than an hour)

I'm not sure we'll ever see freelance writing rates like the late 20th century's again, because the whole machine was broken by the internet. Web ads are not the revenue source that full-color print ads are + there's a surplus of good-enough comparable writing to read online, much of it for free.

Child asked if it's cheating to use a map to find all the shrines in Breath of the Wild, and I was pleased to inform her that looking up where to find things is a tradition that goes back to the very first Zelda game.

He-Man/Adam throwing his head back was iconic before the 4 Non Blondes video because my guy was always laughing his heart out. The show was never cool, but it trafficked in joy in a way Transformers and GI Joe just did not.

We fucking loved He-Man, who the fuck asked for a High Fidelity take on 40-year-old children's TV

If you can help, please do. And please listen to trans folk and give the support they state is going to be most helpful. If you’re giving to orgs, listen to trans folk and give to the orgs they state are actually helping. If you can’t give financial support share and boost stories.

Today marks six years since George Floyd was murdered by a police officer in Minneapolis. George was a beloved father, grandfather, brother, and friend. His life mattered and he should still be here.

Honestly, one of the funniest tweets I've ever seen.

Aw, man. Part of me always hoped he and Beth would end up together.

From my obituary: "He was a prolific extemporaneous songwriter, known for delighting family and friends with such instant classics as '(She Got That) Cincinnati Chili' and 'CPAP Machine (Gonna Make It All Clean).'"

You come to me, on the day of my son's wedding, which I am not attending

Her name is Lycia Naff and she later went to journalism school and became a central figure in breaking the Bill Cosby story! I wanted to tell you that because it’s such a fascinating career but it seemed weird to put it in the same graphic!

works great!!

Been thinking about this line and wondering whether the Black Album or the Grey Album (which opens with it) made it more famous.

this reminds me about how the scam email trainings I have to do like every month at this job always highlight "scammers add in a message of urgency to get you to click the link without thinking about it" as a key element.

Explaining to the fourth-grade PE class that if you worked hard at gymnastics in the 80s, you could travel around with other kids fighting crime with Mr. T.

Holy shit 😅

get in folks we’re building a world for incubating nasty brutish and short attention spans

This is essential to understand because otherwise you are likely to assume the solution is for liberal leaders simply to make the correct argument to persuade conservative voters, when the very idea that it's about the argument is itself part of the problem.

What fundamentally shifted is that American society was governed by literate values for so long that even literate people began taking them for granted. It really is as simple as: We did not understand how TV and, even more, the internet would upend the norms our country operated on.

I never truly understand bronies until, like, Pinky Pie or Fluttershy puts on ’80s workout clothes. 😰
