It's important to be accurate with people's names, a slight error can make a big difference. For example, Suzanne Collins is the bestselling author of the Hunger Games, but Susan Collins is the Republican Senator who's going to get us there in the real world.

I used rosemary and mint Epsom salts in my bath, and now I smell like a lamb chop.

Whenever someone says "this politician/party is ignoring their base", there's a tacit belief that the party base is "me, people like me, and people who think like me."

I can't be the only person who wonders if Rep Jared Moskowitz is related to Fievel.

They're remaking Naked Gun with Liam Neeson. I suspect they just cast the actor with the most similar name to Leslie Nielsen.

fun fact for washingtonians: if you tap into the quoted thread, there’s a call script for patty murray. you can help her do her job by explaining the language of the budget bill that would strip healthcare from trans people that she’s supposed to be reviewing as a member of the budget committee!

"Sometimes you see two young children fighting like crazy. They hate each other, and they’re fighting in a park, and you try and pull them apart. They don’t want to be pulled. Sometimes you’re better off letting them fight for a while and then pulling them apart." --Donald Trump, 6/5/2025

British people are not any more transphobic than anyone else, "TERF Island" is just a statistical error. Transphobia Jo who lives in a cave and does 10,000 transphobias a day is an outlier and should not have been counted

Pride pepper.

What I wouldn't give for an app that was kind of like 2014 Facebook.

Has Amazon just kinda given up on selling stuff? My last 2 orders had ETAs, then were delayed, delayed again, and then they say "are you really sure you want it? If you cancel we'll give you a refund."

Stephen Miller is younger than me and I'm not sure how I should feel about that

I know I'm late to this, but The Bear is just Bob's Burgers for grown-ups, isn't it?

In human form I'm about a 6 I think. I'm a bit chunky and something about the way I speak/write seems to make people really defensive. As a spider I'm about a 2, a teeny tiny dancer who only bothers the deepest arachnophobe.

M'lord the peasants say you have given them the ick

me: forgive me father, for I have sinned. I am experiencing the shameful urges again priest in confessional booth: my child, homosexuality is nothing to be ashamed of. this isn't that kind of church. me, no longer about to admit that I was talking about miniature painting: ok good to know

even if you’re 100% certain that your political analysis is correct, making your entire brand being corrosive and annoying online might not be as effective as you hope. it probably feels good in a righteous fury way but come kickoff you might wish you spent a little more time coalition building

no shut up this doom won’t scroll itself

Ocasio-Cortez/Crockett 2028

I also thought this headline was from the Onion.

They're eating the checks! They're eating the balances!

Without downloading any new pictures where are you at mentally

what incredible cowardice, Seattle Children's Hospital. WA state law protects trans kids (and young adults you also serve) @governorferguson.bsky.social is your office going to intervene? www.thestranger.com/queer/2025/0...

Look, if you think the solution to our political moment might be a Republican senator “growing a spine,” I need you to go Google “Norquist bathtub quote” and have a good long think about the underlying goals of the GOP since Reagan. This is the moment they’ve been working for *this whole time.*

Working on a paper & a source I wanted was about pay equity and intersectional discrimination and was on the EEOC website. Except it wasn't. It was listed in Google results but it was missing from EEOC’s site. The Wayback Machine had it archived on 1/14 Hm, wonder why it’s suddenly vanished 🤔

Seems like the DOGE boys would be really easy to catfish

1/ OK, Democratic members of Congress in the US Senate. It’s time for some tough love. I am aware your pollsters and consultants tell you things like “the American people want us to work together” and “ focus on prescription drug prices in the economy.”

"Democrats need to earn my vote." Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, and Nancy Pelosi were going to be fine no matter who won. The people who suffer because Democrats didn't "earn" your vote are the rest of us.

The things leftists say do make sense, if you believe that the American people are 60% leftist, 35% liberal, and 5% fascist, and that The Big Problem With America is that the liberals have suppressed the leftist majority, seized all the power, and allowed the fascists to do whatever they want.

Aren't the oligarchs meant to prevent each other from getting too far ahead? Like crabs in a pot?

@corybooker.com hello I used to run the Wendy’s Twitter account and I am begging you to let me help you with the dems social media strategy, I will literally do it for free at this point

It would not surprise me if Vance tricks Trump into resigning once he's no longer useful.

If you liked $10 eggs, here's the sequel: $10 milk.

My hope is for us to all live long enough to be around to see a generation of trans youth who won't believe our stories about how bad things were back in the day.

If I were running a country, and I wanted my country to be a global leader in sciences, offering a fast-tracked political asylum to Anthony Fauci seems like an easy win.

This is all @peachytips.bsky.social 's fault. The crew of the pirate ship Crab Apple, press ganged into service against the Harvestmen. #silverbayonet #miniatures #wargaming

Finally watching Morbius, and it's genuinely uncanny to see New York Subway signs and posters overlaid on a London Underground station.

It's Inspector Gadget, but instead of a cyborg cop he's a cheese enthusiast. The dog is still the same though.

On behalf of the US-citizens-with-family-ties-to-South-Africa-who-have-been-prescribed-ketamine-as-an-antidepressant community, I'm sorry for how he's behaving, and he doesn't represent us.
