there are breads that i enjoy making myself — any quickbread, sourdough boules and batards, flatbreads, biscuits etc. — but you’ll never catch me making a baguette or croissant at home. i live a short bike ride from three boulangeries!

Fellas, is marriage facism

Why does everyone imagine that what creative people want (and I use that term broadly to include most "skilled" intellectual labor) is to replace their creative process with a machine?

i am too poor to ever look like this and thank g*d for that

#MSH45 | Richard Lasher You've been at a job long enough to know a decent colleague to chat with. The more you get to know them, the more they share. What's fact or fiction? You don't know, but you listen. Then there's one story that's so over the top—a bona fide lie. But then, a photo appears.

"30-year-old conservative lawyer and activist who is Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel, which deals with federal employee whistleblower complaints and discrimination" cancelled his colleague's hotel room so she would be forced to stay with him. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

When prices were going up under Biden there was a constant deluge of news stories about it because the media did not like Biden and wanted him to lose. Under Trump there is not a constant deluge of news stories about coffee prices because they like Trump and want him to win

UMG: Get a load of this f'ing loser. Also buy his next album please.

Coooooool

after careful study, I believe only people born between 1975 and 1995 should be allowed to use the internet

Our kids are invisible on our streets in more than one way

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

Classic big tech. It’s not enough to destroy the planet, everyone else has to subsidize it too.

it should be a tell about what's happening in the media now that most mainstream commentators seem openly frustrated that polling does not blame democrats for the shutdown

The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

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

There are only two types of products and services now: outright scam and pseudo scam (where you're like ehh technically I got something in exchange for my money but cmon)

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day? Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

Supreme Court: of course states can regulate, and restrict access to, medical procedures if there’s a compelling public interest Colorado: (bans conversion therapy for minors) Supreme Court: no not like that, we only meant abortion

I will be silent no longer

Welcome to America

Idea: keep the inhalers, get rid of half a million cars per year.

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE Truth: No cars rammed ICE Claim: She boxed ICE in Truth: ICE boxed her in Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE Truth: She did not have a rifle Claim: ICE returned fire Truth: Only ICE fired Claim: She drove herself to the hospital Truth: Paramedics found her

It’s boiling in October because you’re using ChatGPT to write your emails, Janice.

Dunno man, seems a little misleading to write an article about Trump describing activity in Portland and Chicago as “insurrection” with a 33 year old photo of a burning donut shop taken in the 1992 LA Riots (sans caption explaining that) as the header on all your posts about it.

I cannot believe these lyrics from the new Taylor Swift album are real

bluesky: we give you moderation tools so you can make your experience here whatever you want, which is why we don't ban transphobes also bluesky: just don't use those tools in a manner that makes us sad

Robin Williams' daughter has some quality thoughts on AI slop

This, to me, is so telling. When proven wrong, Bari Weiss invites her critic on a podcast. The rotten fruit of the "debate" tree, the fetishization of debate as a conversation in which one "wins" or "loses," "owns" or is "owned." A side-effect of capitalism's anti-intellectual higher ed arms race.

They literally just fought a Supreme Court case for the right to racially profile. It was in the news!

Doing some back of the napkin math on the Free Press acquisition, I've determined The Onion is worth $2 trillion.

Taking an ambulatory but not-yet-verbal toddler anywhere is like agreeing to play full-court, man-to-man defense against a point guard who keeps trying to hurt themselves, doesn't respect any rules of the game, and screams when you try to stop them.

👇🎯 This is how governing works in literally every actual democracy around the world. If you don’t have the votes, it’s up to you to make concessions to the minority parties. It’s not their job to save you from your responsibility to govern by giving you things you don’t have the votes for already.

I'm sorry but how does this person have standing to challenge Colorado's ban on LGBTQ conversion therapy when she has explicitly disclaimed any desire to change a patient's sexual orientation or gender identity? How is this a real case? slate.com/news-and-pol...

i want y'all to hear me and hear me well.... i know this gone be difficult cause we American and we wanna try and see... but DO YOUR DRUGS AT YOUR HOMES

she kicked off that piece with claiming that Australia doesn't care about race or identity, as I remember. this is a country where 'Italian vs Greek' can still be a live issue in some neighborhoods

Back in the land of reality, here's what one of the Black people whose home was smashed into during the apartment raid last week said about his Venezuelan neighbors: "They were cool people." Mr. Jones, a U.S. citizen, was dragged out in handcuffs and held outside for hours.

I'm also reminded of the "whistleblower" report about abuses at a Missouri gender clinic, the author of which is now just a full-time anti-transgender lobbyist, that fell apart the moment any reporter tried to verify it

Never forget how easy it is to dupe these people. You don’t have to run anything resembling a platform for ‘divergent views’ or ‘a range of opinions.’ You just have to *say* you’re doing that and run the same right-wing slop you can find at 50 other outlets.
