*eyes pure white with prophecy* Capital Weather will be the engine of the timely local news publication that, in retrospect, will have fully replaced WaPo

“Is it Differentnow?” “No, it’s basically the Samenow.”

Its time to pull the billboard Its time to cancel flights Its time to change the line up On the fash state fair tonight

Europeans are going to be like "duh", but for Americans: get a kitchen scale, and use baking recipes that give weights. It is so so so much easier to stick a bowl on the scale, tare, dump some stuff in, tare, dump the next stuff in, tare, and so on…

You have to be zero tolerance. No "oh they will lose in a free marketplace of ideas" because there is no such thing as a free marketplace. You shut them down, you boot them, you drive them back under the rock. If you don't, you have functionally ceded the culture to them.

Trying to convince my children to get a pet frog named "Croak Monsieur"

the end of this made me laugh out loud. very cathartic.

I figured out what my retirement hobby is gonna be. In about 20 years, I'm gonna start a quaint YouTube channel where I teach people how to build websites "by hand" like Bob Ross.

When I retire, I want to start restoring and rewiring vintage lamps as a hobby. (not sarcasm)

Just completed open enrollment and health insurance for me + kids went up by $300/ month. I will now be lying in a dark room with a cold compress over my eyes if anyone needs me.

It is the glorious 25th of May. How do they rise up?

Just clients. And if anyone or anything tried to hurt them, I would rip its intestines out.

Re: Neverending Story

in the first episode of the series he hides a fugitive girl disguised as a man, bullies the king and sheriff into giving a shit about a murder, reminds the abbot that their duty is to care for the poor even when it’s politically inconvenient, and is late for church that’s my emotional support monk

KidA was still in the NICU when the ACA was passed. Since then it has cost over $1 million in treatments just to keep him alive to the age of 16. I know there was a political price to getting it through Congress. I’m grateful every day for the people who paid it.

Quick, check your health insurance policy: What's your lifetime maximum? What is the most money your insurance company will spend on you? Trick question: Obamacare banned it! The whole concept! Gone! Babies were maxing out their lifetime insurance coverage before Obamacare!

Abrego Garcia should apply for compensation from the weaponization fund

Fuck him up, Socrates.

Good morning to everyone who knows that 12% of US Senators represent states with populations smaller than the population of Montgomery County, Maryland.

It just looks like Pac-Man with teeth?

Good morning to everyone who thinks all main waiting rooms in Beaux Arts train stations named 'Union Station' and associated with Daniel Burnham should have seating for people.

They bought all of our choices, political, lifestyle and economic. But they did not wager the cost of our *refusal*. It is fascinating. Grim but fascinating.

When, as a society, we talk about true heroes, we really neglect talking about the old dudes on YouTube making videos about how to fix very specific plumbing or HVAC issues.

Many things are bad. This is great, and I want all of these people to become even more famous: youtu.be/OWD2EvNcTh8?...

This is Sprout and Granola. They are enjoying a day on the lake. Yes, the propeller hats are necessary. They're helping with acceleration, obviously. 14/10 for both (IG: nolatheiggy)

to be fair to Luke if I found out my sister had been adopted out to royalty while I stayed with Uncle Owen on a farm I would be a massive bitch about it

in a way, isn’t causing men to crash out before she’s even done anything just proof that Lupita is perfect for Helen of Troy

seems like a good moment to remind you all of the Good News: that there are various ways you can support billionaire free, independent, and/or worker run news media

"they could have paid people to do a job right, but instead they paid each other to have computers do every job terribly, and then they were sad the unemployed people didn't like the computers"

I got put in a bit of a Struggle Spot at work and my boss did the most amazing job of advocating for me.

this and the racism*. All of it, every bit of it, 100% of our situation right now. I will never forgive the people who made this happen, and the people who allowed it to happen. Never. *"and the racism" is additive to OP's post, not a critique of it

This has lived in my brain with hallucinatory persistence ever since I first watched it as a child. “Knife AND fork! Knife AND fork!” “All I ever wanted was a spoon, a spoon…” taking up valuable space every day, rent-free, for 40+ years.

Gonna also use this to plug some traditional Chicago suburban dancing

And this is why we should fund the humanities and arts. This person has made a piece of art that should echo through time and they should live comfortably from that

I’ve been trying my best NOT to think about this.

I hate that I think so many things come down to neoliberal risk shift, but I do.

whoever leaked that he’s panicking about leaks is the funniest person in the government

Live footage of faculty all over the world right now:

the thing that probably kept me going for the past 6 months has been being plugged into networks that is just average people in all of these cities trading information & resources back & forth without a single bit of performance or competition, just pure focused support & cross-community care

happy 9th anniversary to the day we watched Zendaya fall madly in love with Tom Holland in real-time

good morning to the dog throwing up all over the Supreme Court stairs

you kid but a version of the odyssey where someone gets lost as shit trying to drive back home through boston while having various adventures could be great

Kyle Rittenhouse already has a deep necrotized crater where his soul should be, so the effects of this bite shouldn't be anything new to him. For everyone else who lives in the Brown Recluse's native range--generally the Sun Belt--please make sure to be very careful when unfolding clothes.
