No one on earth should ever accumulate this much wealth, not even our faves

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

This one. This is the piece I hope I'm remembered for. www.jezebel.com/when-surgeon...

so this is actually turning into a really good conversation about how to get your posts read on bluesky

I’m not sure we’ll ever fully comprehend just how close we came to a third Trump term and frankly, I won’t trust that it couldn’t happen until he’s gone.

As a bleeding heart liberal, I plan on taking a long, hot shower; followed by a short period of letting the tap run even if I walk away from it for a moment 💦

Things I have learned so far: *reposting yourself multiple times may be necessary for maximizing response *less reposts from strangers and more quote posts from you

It doesn’t fix things, but it really does bring me comfort to know how miserable some of the worst people are. Donald Trump tweeting over 200 times on Christmas. Billionaires fighting with strangers online during the holidays. Everything about Elon Musk

The fact they treat prompt writing as a coveted skill is such a tragic self-own and they don’t even get it. Society is being pressed through cheesecloth by illiterati.

Like no, dude, I don’t need a chatbot. I have an English degree. I can write my own emails.

Guys say women want alpha male 10-handsome bullshit. What women really want is down bad Bill Pullman chairmaker. (Just being sure everyone is aware of Bill Pullman in While you Were Sleeping. )

a lot of people don't realize that Christmas carols and traditions are actually folk memories of suppressed pre-Christian events, namely the end of the Third Age and the Fall of Sauron.

absolutely swimming in it, though presumably not very well

In the Little Mermaid Ariel doesn't know what a fork is but her Dad carries a fork all the time it is his entire deal.

I have some bad news for Latke.

Idk how I can have 15k followers and ZERO engagement??? For one, I’m not *that* boring??? And two, I genuinely think something is wrong with Bluesky’s algo.

I want to teach a j-school class entirely on how to deal with hostile subjects and 75% of it will be about how to write an excellent write around.

And to Tiny Tim, who did NOT die. He was unable to. He still walks among us, cursed to remember in a world where everyone has forgotten. He’s out there now, just beyond the light your lantern throws,

Btw, I am not often an openly, you know, *positive* person. But this is may be the thing about writing for the NYT I love most even though I’ve never had to benefit from it. They are not afraid of lawsuits. Their lawyers are small adorable bunnies but if you fight them they will nuke you

It looks like the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT was accidentally released in Canada. It'll be really interesting to compare this to whatever version Weiss might eventually release.

Why would anyone risk themselves to go on 60 Minutes after this? How can viewers ever trust CBS News to report fairly on topics this White House is sensitive about?

Edward R. Murrow is spinning in his grave right now

Once when we wanted to show the ineffectual dithering of The Good Place Committee, we had one of them say, "There are rules, procedures. This is The Good Place -- we can't just *do stuff.*" We almost didn't include it, because we thought it was a little on the nose.

I only eat what cave men ate, and I use AI for everything. I am the modern American man and see no contradictions here

San Francisco famously has never had a significant earthquake, so surely Waymo has no need to consider the public safety impacts in a major disaster.

Poor Mea got beaned with a dirty tennis ball tonight

"Has feminism failed women brought to you by bank of america" is my MKULTRA sleeper agent activation phrase

President Donald Trump came to North Carolina on Friday to talk about the economy. He ended up explaining how his wife organizes her lingerie drawer.

i really think there is legit political space for running on "we are going to dismantle ICE"

how to handle the what now

“The unemployment rate is so high because of all the people I personally fired” isn’t the home run defense he thinks it is.

* Number of additional unemployed Americans since January: 982,000. * Number of federal government job losses: 271,000. 🤡

this Kennedy Center situation is definitely a desecration…. but it also feels like a bit of a champagne problem next to all the mass internments, military war footing, and FBI rebooting COINTELPRO

simultaneously a good news story on McBride's deftness and a real shattering account of how many Democrats still need to get punted into a hole in the ocean www.advocate.com/politics/sar...

SCOOP: House Democrats suspected a few in their caucus would support a bill criminalizing gender-affirming care for trans youth So Sarah McBride reached out to Republicans Four Rs — Fitzpatrick, Lawler, Kennedy, Evans — joined Dems in opposing the bill www.notus.org/congress/mcb...

Look a lot of people were at the Lucifer Foundation's annual Billionaire Vision Brunch in 2011. I didn't talk to all of them. Some of us just find the work the Lucifer Foundation does to be interesting.

Reminder that naturalized citizens are people who jumped through every hoop, did all the paperwork, passed the test, and swore an oath to this country. They did it all “the right way” and still Republicans want to kick them out.

No matter how you slice it, US police officers are safer on the job and paid waaaaay more than other countries' police despite doing a…less than stellar job The question isn't more police vs. less police. It's why are US police paid so much while doing such little and such poor police work?

I asked @aoc.bsky.social about why she posted this tweet, and she said “because JD Vance is a goober, man.”

The woman the media is desperate to paint as a kinder, gentler Republican is displaying pictures of what she claims are topless kids in her effort to cut off their lifesaving healthcare and imprison their parents and doctors.

Lord, please never let me be hated by someone as skilled as that Vanity Fair photographer. Let all my haters be incompetent.

Sounds like your kids aren’t stepping on your doormat at all, Laura.

“Why were there no cameras in the building?” WHY WERE THERE NO CAMERAS?!? REALLY? That’s the takeaway here? Maybe some people don’t want to be surveilled every second. Maybe we don’t need academic buildings, especially, full of cameras. Cameras aren’t going to stop it anyway! WHY WAS THERE A GUN?

anyway I’m gonna go cry for a bit

just too much things.

every post is like i bet you didn’t know this absolutely wonderful thing about rob reiner and each one is different

Rob Reiner directed some of the most beloved movies of all time, including Stand By Me, This is Spinal Tap, and The Princess Bride. His production company also made movies like The Shawshank Redemption, Before Sunrise and Michael Clayton. The film industry has lost one of its titans.

Speaking ill of Rob Reiner, now that should cost you your job
