Tyler, maybe try flossing a few times a week, and also read a book. That might help your dating prospects. also, "round up" on the size of your khaki pants until you lose those 12 pounds. Also, don't be a Nazi. girls hate Nazis. just sayin!

sometimes I get caught in logistics, the "grind" enters and spreads in my mind, and I forget the whole reason we're doing all this, staying alive, is for love and art. Support artists. they're doing the actual work 🧡. By artists I mean anyone being true and creative. youtu.be/byCkyjXtKWs

kiddos are like, What was it like in the olden times? Gather round kiddos. Back then, people were earnest. and sang directly into the ear of the person they were hugging. youtu.be/VjEq-r2agqc

I remember 1976. My dear parents drove us to DC and our car did not have air conditioning. But we got there, and we saw museums and my Dad bought me a plastic fife at the Smithsonian gift shop and I played it all the way home in the car. happy birthday, America! 🎡

I genuinely grew up with the idea that the US is, yes awful. I know 😔. But I loved Civics class, where we learned about brave people who made it better. And family in the military. I'm not "patriotic" per se, but I trusted in a framework to improve. that framework is gone. we're grieving.

Hundreds of people have already gathered. We have active duty service members AND veterans here to join the Veterans Against Fascism. 7/4/26

why did everything today suddenly seem to become... worse?

That picture…

this article is excellent and worth your read. Sarah's poppin off and I'm HERE for it. Happy birthday, America!! 🎡

New article! Where is America going? On Trump's July 4 disaster, the stolen sovereignty of the US, the leftist primary wins, and the plan to merge the US and Israeli militaries. Also, Vanilla Ice: sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/stop-colla...

“America’s problems are solved problems. Universal healthcare is not some utopian fantasy. It is Tuesday in Toronto. Affordable higher education is not an impossible dream. It is Wednesday in Berlin. Sensible gun regulation is not a violation of natural law. It is Thursday in London.” 👏👏👏

apropos of nothing, I have a bottle of champagne in my closet for when it happens because there will be a run on champagne and I don't want to miss out toasting with my neighbor, who has sparklers to bring to the party. it says a lot about the current world that literally everyone understands this.

I don't like seeing the face of a convicted rapist all the time.

I can sniff out an anti-vaxxer mom from a mile away. She's like: "ohh! ok how was your week? ... ahhh, that's good! Also what is the ambient temperature where you keep your vitamin supplement?" FUCK OFF, Stephanie!!

normalize making out with your friends

Having a baby in the US this year? Their social security card will be stamped with the partisan "Freedom 250" logo of the MAGA-aligned Trump initiative. A little warning might have been nice, huh? If you can't hold it until Jan., maybe your baby will be... www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

my friends? calling Trump "Grandpa" as if "Grandpa" is a slur. I get it. but maybe let's please not do that? Personally, just in my life, my Grandpa is a lovely, fierce human. Let's please use precise language? I.e., that Donald Trump has Frontotemporal Dementia and is a convicted rapist?

new metaphor just dropped

re: Trump's conversation with Teddy Roosevelt. we all know he's horrifyingly dangerous as his malignant narcissism meets his accelerating frontotemporal dementia. This adds a 3rd component worth considering: Boomers' 'seeing is believing' media literacy (sic) + AI. youtube.com/shorts/nZ-ct...

Don't want to speak ill of the dead, so getting this Mitch McConnell take out now. He saw Trump with complete clarity, as a danger to America, but protected him anyway. Perhaps more than anyone, he had the power to end Trumpism, but chose party over country. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/jan-6-and-...

Yes the awful turnout at the "US state fair" is hilarious. But a sadder, darker truth is that Freedom250 is a money laundering operation. Excellent video from Rep. Huffman. and PDF of investigative report he mentions: democrats-naturalresources.house.gov/imo/media/do...

We uncovered how he hijacked America 250 – watch to see how. youtu.be/-ydXJ3HhXy0?...

do you think Ghislaine Maxwell's puppy is almost full grown now? Maybe moving from the puppy food, to the adult dog food?

I've posted about this growing problem before - there were a spate of articles a few years ago on how private equity firms are killing US veterinary care (& your pets). They've increased consumer costs by a billion dollars in the last 5 years. 🧵1/4 www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

MINNESOTANS!!! Jury nullification is legal and good. But you can’t talk about it while you’re doing it, and you can’t learn about it after you’ve been selected for jury duty. You gotta read up now! beyondcourts.org/sites/defaul...

I thought I was doing a small story on confusion over the sudden disappearance of water fountains on a popular South Mississippi biking and running trail. What I found was a bigger story about homelessness, the meaning people find in the things they love, public infrastructure and civic engagement.

Water fountains disappeared from the Longleaf Trace in June as the board that governs it grew concerned about how homeless people were using its facilities. Runners and bikers who use the 44-mile trail fear the decision could have dire consequences in Mississippi's summer heat. buff.ly/pBXSvrI

this countrys fetish for punishing those we decide are unworthy of help at the expense of all of us is so completely bat shit

WTF 😳

The FBI says that “anti-capitalist, anti-fascist, anti-government, or anti-law enforcement graffiti” can indicate a mobilization to violence and can be reported to the bureau, according to a counterterrorism report obtained by Prism through a public records request.

One of the more dehumanizing aspects of the BPJ decision is that Kavabaugh avoided using pronouns for Becky for the entirety of the decision and only used her initials. Not a surprise that the credibly accused sexual assaulter doesnt respect a teenage girl.

Trump: I see my two beautiful sons sitting there. I think I'm going to give one medal of honor to myself, one to them, and we'll have a threesome.

Yes. I miss the “nuance” of “unconstitutional bigotry against an entire class of people is necessary to my kid has a better chance of getting a hockey scholarship.” Clearly, the fault is mine.

wow, I had no idea 😨🔥. These so-called "clean burning" isopropyl alcohol fire pits are not uncommon, especially the fancy ones sitting on decks and patios. yikes.

Reminder - the tabletop fire pit you see at a friend's BBQ this weekend might be dangerous. Fire pits that require people to pour isopropyl alcohol or other liquid fuel into an open container or bowl and then ignite the pooled liquid in the same location it was poured could lead to flame jetting.

When do the dudes behind him start stripping to YMCA?

Stop teaching your kids they’re better than other kids. Stop teaching your kids to be assholes and racists. Stop teaching your kids to be poor sports. Stop teaching your kids they’re entitled to be in charge.
