Dear Dem candidates, Don't tell working class people to eat cake. If their anger is misguided or comes from your opponent's misinformation, address it. Don't whine about your opponent's tactics; if it's illegal, report it, otherwise take responsibility for earning votes. I'm so fucking tired.

I have had a learning about a cool thing.

Wrapping up my first semester at of going back to college as a middle aged lady, and I am fascinated and horrified by how easy it is to spot the Chat GPT slop other students submit. I can even tell that someone tried to mix up the prompt a little, and has no idea how weird the slop it returned is.

Watching the constant spread of the surveillance state is so fucking exhausting. I hope there is, or will be soon, a robust resistance movement against it in Canada.

I want to shove this story under the nose of every person who has said things along the lines of "people need to do it 'right' and follow the law if they want to stay here." This makes me so angry.

I need this as a poster.

The theme song to Armageddon is stuck in my head and I need it to go away.

@profanity.accountant Okay what are my stats?

Get yourself a nice holiday treat and buy Jordan's books about horny wizards and their nerdy boyfriends solving mysteries.

This is good advice for anywhere that has had a leftist/progressive win. People want change enough to vote for change, but their engagement with government is vital to those changes. And most people don't know how to do that. The election is over, now the real work for change starts.

Way too much leftist discourse is polarized into denunciations vs defenses of Zohran A more useful & important debate is how to organize enough New Yorkers to win Zohran's agenda — and to counteract the inevitable pressures on him from capital and the political establishment

I was just looking at restarting Netflix, for the first time in a few years, for some holiday vacation watching. Wow. How many people are paying $18 to $25 to not have ads? Do most people put up with the ads in the cheap plan? I'm genuinely curious what the adoption rate is for each option.

Hard disagree. Pecan pie is disgusting. It's just soggy pecans floating in a gelatinous ooze of caro syrup, molasses, and eggs. More people need to examine the theological implications of apple pie as evidence that God has a plan. Key lime pie is good. I make a pretty good pumpkin pie.

License plate readers, or ALPRs, connect to a massive national database that feds have had their fingers in for years. As with everything, it's worse under the Trump administration. They can find anyone, anywhere, and have an algorithm that picks out people to target. apnews.com/article/immi...

For the love of God, how many more super blood moon solar eclipse alien space objects from beyond the solar system swinging by for tea is it going to take to FIX THE TIME LINE.

I have no idea how to interpret this. Maybe we'll get a bonus GOP Speaker ousting and subsequent drama.

Carrot's been going hard lately

Omg it's so baaaaad 😂😂😂 I'm all about dropping occasional weird paragraphs with meter and a rhyme scheme into prose, but you have to know how those things work, and chat, this ain't it. It's so broken up that she may not have done it on purpose and this is a zero draft survivor but who knows. 😂😂😂

A tale in three pictures.

Tell Claire how pretty she is.

Every single post in this thread made me angrier and angrier. THIS DESCRIBES TEXAS. If he spent a week in Texas shadowing any university professor, every item on this list would be checked off. Ask Thomas Alter, Melissa McCoul, and anyone facing A&M's new approval process before discussing race.

Exactly. This is a LET THEM FIGHT moment, where we try to get everyone else out of the way, then watch the show. If they want to come in, treat them like stray cats; quarantine them in the bathroom until they're vaccinated and confirmed negative for the really bad contagious stuff.

I am increasingly annoyed that the only genuinely new thing in iOS 26 was a conscious decision to make iPhones less accessible to people with any level of visual impairment. This was also an act of class war against aging millenials who can't afford Lasik.

I am so curious about how exactly the conversation went where they talked Trump out invading Greenland.

I am all about welcoming people who have grown out of whatever fucked up racist/sexist/phobic place they were in, but that does NOT make such people electable candidates for office. I have not seen a single defence of Platner based in good he's done, only a demand for forgiveness of a drunk Marine.

God help us, the Devil just freed Marjorie Taylor Greene.

My FB feed puked up a White House post of the JD Vance quote blaming the housing crisis on "30 million immigrants." The one he's being roasted over, with the sort of dressing that signals serious or profound. Black background, high saturation picture. But the proportions are off and it looks stupid.

I appreciate the recap, I've been studying for a test all week.

When people say that Wuthering Heights doesn't have anything to do with race or that no film has engaged with race, what they mean is that for them Romani people do not count and they also haven't been paying attention. I'm going to share a little material from a recent talk. Content note: racism 1/

This Day in Labor History: November 12, 1928. Workers for United Fruit in Ciénega, Colombia went on strike over the horrible conditions of their work and life. The response from United Fruit? Kill them.

The extreme anti-THC wing of the GOP may have tanked the spending bill 😂😂😂 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

He might the Decent Person model of Kennedy rather than the Deranged Weirdo model, but if this family will not stay out of politics, can we please at least go a generation or two with them being someone's chief of staff rather than the elected official?

Finding a random pill on the floor after friends leave: Me in my early 20s: huh, no one acted that stoned. Me in my 40s: oh God, this is a blood pressure med. Did someone miss their BP med? Is this expensive?!?(Immediately texts everyone)

My timeline just now.

KBJ threaded the needle thanks to CA1’s unfinished business. -if she denied the admin stay, the full SCOTUS woulda stepped in to override her. -if she immediately referred the case to the full Court, they coulda dragged feet. -instead she boxed them in to act quickly once she does refer the case.

A year and a half ago I was a chronically depressed house wife and increasingly weird hermit. I scraped myself up off of the floor for the presidential race because I had to try. Last month 2000 people joined our suburban No Kings 2, that I helped organize. If I can do something, you can too.

Someone please make the flashy explainer video for why Justice Jackson granted a temporary stay on the court order to the Trump admin to immediately pay SNAP benefits, preferably with an animated flow chart and a jaded puppet so it will go viral enough for everyone to chill.

#BREAKING: Justice Jackson has issued an "administrative" stay, temporarily pausing a district court order that would've required the USDA to continue using contingency funds to pay SNAP benefits. The stay expires 48 hours after the First Circuit rules on USDA's request for a stay pending appeal.

We had one side of our fence replaced, and this required cutting down all the hackberry saplings along it. I hadn't realized just how much shade they were creating. I need to figure out what native plant to replace the lost greenery with.

He keeps fighting to starve children, but maybe this is the end and he's lost the biggest leverage over Democrats in the shut down. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

America: Consensual Fuck Yeah

“He doesn’t have a mandate” are you fucking kidding? Dick Cheney died the day Zohran is elected he has the mandate of HEAVEN

Texas! You have 30 minutes to vote down these shitty constitutional amendments. If you've already done so, THANK YOU. Go yell at someone you know who hasn't voted yet.

Texas! You have an hour and a half left to vote. There are constitutional amendments on the ballot that need to be killed. This will make Greg Abbott and Ken Paxton sad.

Some of this stuff isn't actually terrible, but voting against everything the Texas Legislature voted for is a reliable shortcut.

TEXAS GO VOTE TODAY 17 Constitutional amendments. If you don't want to bother learning about them, vote against everything, I don't care. There is so much bad in there, we can make do without the good ones. Here's a guide if you do want to learn about them before voting. lwvtexas.org#gsc.tab=0

I cannot imagine a more propitious omen for this Election Day than that Dick Cheney has woken up in Hell.
