When I first listened to Comedy Death Ray I didn't know that the "republican politician" they were interviewing wasn't real, and in my defense I feel like nothing they said back in 2010 was as insane as what the GOP are saying on a regular basis today

Every day when I drive home I pass at least 4 but up to a full block’s worth of cars essentially parked in the bus / bike lane on Roscoe Blvd at peak rush hour in the line for drive through In N Out and I don’t know why we allow it. All for shitty undercooked fries.

Tried something at the gym today (it went well!)

When I was in Portland what I saw in their windows was Black Lives Matter signs, which is what they really object to.

Live look of everyone who made free speech their pet issue over the last decade:

Ken Paxton’s plan

It Feels Good to Be Yourself is 20% off with the code BBW20 (through the 19th) and free shipping (today only). In my experience, seems like a book families get after their kids come out as gender non-conforming. Seems like it would be more helpful for those who haven't yet! Just saying!

twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

Ooh... free shipping at @bookshop.org today and tomorrow as part of their "anti-Prime sale." Includes preorders, so get your copy of Life After Cars. bookshop.org/a/9252/97805...

Thanks I hate it (flying out of Burbank on Sunday)

We’ve been watching some Extreme Ghostbusters with the kids and it’s weirdly good and weirdly woke? This episode is about a bunch of racist assholes desecrating a synagogue and the golem that protects it. 👀👀👀

Callie complained when I picked Wicked for movie night, but did she dance along with Elphaba‘s dance at the Ozdust Ballroom? Yes, she did.

Amazing how much my kids get out of this play area, which is simply mounds and a single tunnel.

Turned on Kiss FM in the car today and this was playing! Number 33 on the top 40, made my day!

The fact they jumped straight to AI actors modeled after women when, if I’m not mistaken, male actors are a higher labor cost kind of says it all doesn’t it,

history teacher in 50 years: So in September, that’s when the president signed an executive order criminalizing anti-fascism and saying all resistance would be crushed student: oh so that’s when the whole country realized they were living under fascism teacher: haha what? oh no lol not at all. no.

Every MAGA “Christian” is Beverly Keane and / or Kai Winn (pick your reference).

Was curious about JFK’s health so I asked google. TIL he was pregnant in 1960 but only put on 15-20lbs

Did Jess Sims just shut down Theo Von live on national television? "Do I get to see you again?" "No, I hope not."

Rumor is that Gavin Newsom is wavering on housing and might veto SB 79. If you live in California, please reach out to the governor’s office today: cayimby.org/call-sb-79/

“we heard tale of expanding the tent”

I’ve long thought that Portlandia was a net negative on our society, mocking (lovingly or no) people for trying to make the world a better place. It escaped confinement from the target audience and made things like eating local cringe. That’s bad!

They’re literally socially constructing gender out of sand and metal after a decade of tut-tutting about women being adult human females ONLY

My kid just burst into my room with her Yoto card and said "Can you give me the song that goes like this: (intense demon noises) da da da da da (intense demon noises) da da da da da?" (we figured it out): www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRpe...

Matthew 15:29-31: And great crowds came to him, bringing with them the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute, and many others, and they put them at his feet, and he healed them after verifying their citizenship status.

I'm sorry: "if I wish to see a virgin on-screen"?

Opinions on Insta were unanimous that seeing a matinee of Masquerade is in fact not lame, so I got a ticket for December -sandwiched between Ragtime and Spelling Bee (newly announced starring Lilli Cooper!!!). Only problem is I have no clothes that meet the dress code, so guess I have to make some.

I moved off of Google to Hey when it launched years ago because Google is evil and I’m just so… tired. Of all of it. Is there even a good email service out there? Good in all the ways meant by the word?

Just passed a bus with the signage “❤️ all aboard bus besties“ and while I think the loss of formality in 2025 society is incredible bad in some places, it really made me smile.

"Motor vehicles are also one of the leading causes of death in the United States, with more than 40,000 deaths annually due to crashes—roughly the same as 109 Boeing 747s crashing annually."

But also we’re terrified of the subway

👇🏽

Everyone's losing their mind that the Peloton All-Access price went up by $5/month (as if a spin class isn't $35/class) while I'm over here celebrating DARK MODE!!! FINALLY!!!!

Pre-ordered my copy months ago, but just pre-ordered another for my mom. @thewaroncars.bsky.social

ANIMAL KINGDOM except it's just Kate McKinnon holding a toothpick like a cigarette and explaining how various species fuck. www.youtube.com/shorts/1xJeL...

On Friday 18 blue state attorneys general BLASTED the Federal Trade Commission, telling it to back off trans youth healthcare and warning of an insidious attempt to reshape the regulation of medicine in the US. And nobody covered it. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

OMG! Mychal did it. Anyone who first caught this wonderful human gaining an audience on TikTok knew there was something special happening. What an incredible journey and story. Promoting reading and libraries is so damn important right now, and I can't think of a better ambassador.

I see car brain is an international condition. You wouldn’t know it from the below post, but the it was the scooter rider who was killed, hit by a motorist. And other reports say the motorist was drunk and fled the scene

A bunch of toxic LA NIMBYs are whining about SB 79, the amazing housing bill the CA legislature passed recently. It's on the governor's desk, and reportedly he's getting cold feet. Hey @gavinnewsom.bsky.social, please have some spine on the most important issue in your state. Just sign it.

The "liberals have to learn how to live with people we diagree with" line kinda stops making sense in a world where the central disagreement is whether disagreeing with them should be allowed at all

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

Trump to generals: "America is under invasion from within. We're under invasion from within. No different than a foreign enemy, but more difficult in any ways because they don't wear uniforms. At least when they're wearing a uniform you can take them out."

This episode made me think about how telling parents to monitor kids screen time is another example of expecting individuals to solve a societal problem - if we want to get kids off their phones we have to build a world where they have other options.

This one weird trick can defeat global fascisim, people hate it!

I don't think we'll ever get another sentence which sums up everything the New York Times embodies quite like "Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians".

1. There's a lot of confusion about this out there. Let me make it easier: There are two ways to keep the government open: The full FY26 appropriations bill for the entire year, and a continuing resolution to keep it open for a few months at current levels. Both are part of negotiations right now.
