I mean, I get it, robot. Existing is exhausting.

We built a team of young Black, Asian, queer, and trans staffers at Teen Vogue, and they deserve the world. They are passionate, whip smart, and incredibly talented. Many of them are now without jobs — please consider donating to their GoFundMe: www.gofundme.com/f/help-laido...

Seattle! Check your ballot!

SEATTLE!!! We’ve now taken the lead by 91 votes! 🤯 This thing is certainly not over! Over 1,000 ballots have been challenged, so if you haven’t tracked your ballot yet get on it! Our trusty volunteers have been working hard to "cure" ballots so they count! We're so close!

Is anyone else just THE MOST GROUCHY today?

I received this email about Democrats caving to end the shutdown from one of the SNAP recipients I spoke to:

I'm a SNAP recipient... for the last month I was tightening my belt, doing my best to eat cheaper and eating less so I'd have a little left over to help get me through when payments were cut. It was all for nothing. Fuck the dems who supported this.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

These 8 Senators sold us out to Trump: Hassan King Cortez-Masto Shaheen Kaine Fetterman Durbin Rosen Understand This Fact: Chuck Schumer is behind this. None of these 8 are up for reelection in 2026. Schumer asked them vote yes—they agreed. He's such a coward that he folded and won't even own it.

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office. If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.

Ruby encourages you all to find a spot of sunlight and curl up in it.

That episode was so fun! Loved it. Thanks for hanging everyone! Hope you all have a great weekend! #TheLastDriveIn

Loved that! #TheLastDriveIn

Ruby tapped out, but I'm sure the movie is giving her weird dreams. #TheLastDriveIn

Trust me, the men are not going to be of any use here. #TheLastDriveIn

I would watch these opening credits for 2 hours. This is beautiful! #TheLastDriveIn

"Giallo" has mistakenly become a catch-all name for Italian horror.

BLOOD AND BLACK LACE is a first time watch for me. #TheLastDriveIn

THIS IS A BAD MAN!!!! #TheLastDriveIn

I'm going to start using this voice whenever I have to talk on the phone. #TheLastDriveIn

Now I want to be rich, but for entirely new reasons! #TheLastDriveIn

Don't disagree with any of this but it feels like a weird conversation to have without Goblin. Once Goblin got involved, shit got real. And weird, but that's why we like it. #TheLastDriveIn

Hahaha! Love Darcy with a whistle. #TheLastDriveIn

Giallo Convention! #TheLastDriveIn

Hahaha! Computers are wild. #TheLastDriveIn

I hope the cops laugh at him for getting trapped in a vestibule. #TheLastDriveIn

"I know you're bleeding and dying, but tell me how to open the door!" Most dude thing ever. #TheLastDriveIn

The last couple weeks have been a lot, and I really need a Mutant Movie night. 💜 #TheLastDriveIn

Giallo Time!!!!!! #TheLastDriveIn

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market. This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

Give this a home!

4 Hours until Joe Bob!!!!! #TheLastDriveIn

Yes. This. Say it louder.

The correct headline here is "Trump administration begs courts to let him keep starving children and elders"

Happy FRANKENSTEIN on Netflix Day to all who celebrate!

The United States is currently suing the United States to prevent the United States from feeding American citizens.

On this day in Horror History, CHRISTMAS EVIL was released in 1980.

Some great replies to this, too – fun browsing ⬇️

Good morning! AI is being force-fed to you by a handful of billionaires who will lose a bunch of money if they fail to convince you that you need it. You do not need it 🫶

THE STEPFATHER and WHEN A STRANGER CALLS BACK star Jill Schoelen stepped away from Hollywood in the middle of a prosperous career in the '90s to take on the ultimate role. Now she's back and ready to take horror by storm, with multiple projects on the way as revealed in an exclusive chat!

[P} My wife got us a couple pirate costumes for a Halloween party; mine ended up not arriving in time. A real shame, because my costume came with what is truly and unquestionably The Worst Hat There Has Ever Been.

Thread!

Seattle area people, if you're in need of a warm, dry place with a hot beverage (Sinus Relief is a banger pick right now) and a snack, Friday has you COVERED with the shop's pay-it-forward program. There's an open no-questions-asked community pantry, too. Donate or resupply, this is communitea!

I don't drink coffee so not crossing this picket line won't be difficult for me, but the rest of you should probably be prepared to caffeinate in an alternate fashion

Tip: don't let anyone steal your joy today.

And this is why the corporate class shut down Teen Vogue.

As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed. The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.
