It might just be me, but every time I'm watching Love Island and look at Ace, I see Bailey from Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.

Me this entire episode of Destination X after Rick and Shayne get a postcard of the Bridge of Sighs: YOU'RE GOING TO VENICE. PLACE YOUR X ON VENICE.

The way I've been getting thunderstorms almost daily over the last week at my new place. The mountains really said "you missed FL afternoon thunderstorms so much, so here you go." My old place was more in the main thoroughfare area whereas I'm more into the hills and surrounded by nature now.

I really need others to stay out of Black ppl's comments "correcting others' grammar" because you don't like "improper 'talking'". All it shows is that you're ignorant, so stay out of Black folxs' business.

Absolutely blonkers idea and like would also violate federal Everglades mandate Florida must follow by law. But what are laws at this point?

Good morning NYC!! It’s Election Day. It’s also hotter than a warlock’s nuts. So please go to vote with hydration, sunscreen a hat or a fan. Also, PLEASE do the right thing. Rank Mamdani #1 and DON’T RANK Cuomo! Send a message to big money interests that character matters, and their money

NANCY PELOSI: We must find the next generation of Democratic leadership. Young, charismatic and exciting candidates who can energize the party. People that voters love because they're not 80 years old and sold out to big capital. CHUCK SCHUMER (behind sniper rifle): Found one PELOSI: Take the shot

Mamdani should win but he's the latest example of the Democratic Party closing ranks to keep anyone young and exciting and full of energy out of the party - and then they spend countless millions on consultants trying to figure out why they're struggling with young voters

Update on Ernesto, an 18-year-old in Bowling Green, KY who was taken by ICE: “The Department of Homeland Security has blocked the release of Ernesto Manuel-Andres, despite a federal immigration judge ordering that he be released on bond, according to the nonprofit working with him.”

We're only going to get the results of the first round of the mayoral election tonight, so if you go out and rank Mamdani or Lander first, you'll be helping to give everyone a huge boost to carry us through the next week.

I don't live in NYC anymore, but as someone who did for 8 years, I cannot stress enough GO VOTE FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD!

This video gets at something really meaningful about his campaign: He really genuinely loves NYC & understands what makes this place so special.

Honestly, ready to make K-Pop Demon Hunter my entire personality.

UPDATE: The Los Angeles Press Club has filed suit against the city of Los Angeles and LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell in the Central District of California's federal courts over its actions toward journalists covering anti-ICE protests in recent days. /more

Good.

These scholars were ready to begin work at universities and institutions overseas this summer, but their placements have been abruptly canceled.

Trump appointees at the State Department are illegally blocking nearly 200 Fulbright scholarships, awards meant to send American professors and researchers abroad for educational exchange.

"Nat't Guard troops already have temporarily detained civilians in the LA protests over immigration raids, the commander in charge said Wednesday, but they quickly turned them over to law enforcement." Q for attorneys: if they said they weren't going to do law enforcement, how is this not?

The Environmental Protection Agency moved to roll back emissions standards for power plants—the second-largest source of CO2 emissions in the US—on Wednesday, claiming that the US power sector does not “contribute significantly” to air pollution.

I'm Zach Wahls. A sixth-generation Iowan and a new generation of Democrat. And I'm running for U.S. Senate to defeat Joni Ernst.

this is the New York Times both-sidesing actual science. "pro-vaccine groups" as in SCIENTISTS and DOCTORS

These 18 Senate Dems just voted to advance the crypto industry's money laundering bill: Alsobrooks Booker Cortez Masto Fetterman Gallego Gillibrand Hassan Heinrich Hickenlooper Kelly Kim Lujan Padilla Rosen Schiff Slotkin Warner Warnock

a must read thread as apparently getting rammed by a law enforcement agent vehicle falls under noem’s definition for “prosecution to fullest extent of the law” they only had a warrant for one person in that car & crashed into it as three people were inside it terrorist ass gestapo bitches

So much of why we are where we are is bc media execs decided to sell neutrality as presenting both sides of every issue as equally valid (for ex vaccine skepticism and scientifically supported vaccine use 🫠)

ICE fled the scene after ramming a car in Boyle Heights! ABC-7 in L.A. reporting what police said. They're saying there was an incident involving "a federal agent." "They fled the scene." "Hollenbeck Division is even saying they're investigating this, possibly as an assault with a deadly weapon."

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

Does anyone hate moving as much as I do? I'm excited to be in my new place but all my free time is going towards packing and organizing which means no work reading in the evenings pushing me behind. I'm ready for it to be over.

This is what private equity did to Red Lobster. They sold the land the franchises sat on to a holding company, then started charging each restaurant rent. Unsurprisingly Red Lobster went bankrupt.

Every one of these rich freaks is on a personal mission to remove functions of their basic humanity because they realize if people have any sense of basic humanity they will not be fans of rich freaks

SCOOP: Business leaders are paying as much as $5,000,000 to meet one-on-one with President Donald Trump at his Florida compound, sources tell WIRED, while others are paying $1,000,000 apiece to dine with him in a group setting.

I'm just going to leave this here: On January 5th, 2025 I paid $7.94 for a 24 pack of eggs at Sam's Club. Today, February 13th, 2025, I paid $9.24 for the same exact 24 pack of egg at Sam's Club.

if you need me I'll be shouting this from the nearest rooftop

The president does not have the legal authority to give any part of the executive branch a Get Out of Laws for At Least 9 Years card. More egregious that it's for something that isn't a real govt dept run by someone who wasn't elected nor nominated-and-confirmed. But illegal and wrong either way.

And now is the time when we see what companies REALLY gots women’s backs,,, the world is watching 👀
