Jesus. Fucking. Christ. This kid wants to get out of detention in time for his school spelling bee. What the fuck are we doing.

Age of Attraction is Love is Blind’s dumb, shallow cousin.

The level of cruelty—it’s sickening and awful to talk about people dying like it’s a game.

Wrapping up this season of Love is Blind with the reunion episode. Christine and Vic are happy and charming as ever.

You can go to corporatecatfish.com and look at her white account's inbox compared to her Black account's inbox.

Just agreed to review this!

A DOGE staffer assigned to the National Endowment for the Humanities to flag grants for "DEI" tries to explain what "DEI" is. This deposition is part of a lawsuit by the @acls1919.bsky.social, @historians.org and @modernlanguage.bsky.social.

One, they wanted the content. Two, they wanted to get rid of women and Black people. Three, they wanted to install loyalists.

The battle between being an informed citizen and self-care has never been more fraught.😖

NO NO NO YOU DON’T GUYS LET ME PLEASE SPREAD THE GOSPEL OF FREE TAX USA federal is free, state is $16, handles even my chaotic freelancer taxes just fine, same step-by-step “designed for normies” kind of interface as TurboTax but NOT EVIL tell everyone you know www.freetaxusa.com

And this is why I don’t post photos of my children on the internet. It’s not so much that I suspect my contacts are creeps as much as I know a lot of them could easily be convinced into passing the photos to some creep.

Just say you want to vote for Platner cuz you prefer to see a white man in positions of authority. Be honest, cuz none of your other explanations make sense.

Black men vote Democratic more than any ethnicity and gender besides Black women and Jewish women. They're the most reliable Democratic voting demographic among men, and get little credit for it because there's so much focus on the loud (and annoying) 20% that insist on voting for the GOP and MAGA.

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

And I swear to you the Venn diagram of people who don't want gay characters in kids' shows and people who demand that antiblack cartoons from the past remain uncensored and free of warning labels is a single circle.

“A good leader welcomes questions. A bad leader demands loyalty.” Once again, I really wish that Law & Order: SVU was about space exploration in the future and was not copaganda. Legit good advice for discernment.

It's hilarious that "working class" now applies exclusively to the racist failsons of regional car dealership owners but every unemployed trans person is an "elite".

You also forgot we can't get the good sunscreen anymore

And we’re back to Love is Blind for the weddings. So far, it’s going as expected.

A man asked me last night what publishing needs to do for literary fiction to begin appealing to men again. I said, as nicely as I could, that, with over 2,000 books published every Tuesday, of which many would appeal to men, it’s not a publishing problem, it’s a men problem.

What if there was a mindful way to steal people’s art, pollute Black neighborhoods, and raise everyone’s electric bill?

Whew. I got the advice ages ago to thank folks instead of apologizing. So if someone is helping you because it’s their literal job, thank them for it instead - “I really appreciate your work to sort out this software problem for me, thanks!” A “thanks” feels better to the other person, too.

Children are watching Titanic of their own volition. 12 year old and 9 year old. Jack and Kate just met. They are riveted 👀👀

Should I make a regular poundcake, or improvise sort of lemon-lavender thing?

Has everyone seen Bridgerton yet? Am I allowed to spoil it yet?

Trans rights are human rights and if one of is ain’t free then none of us are.

Watching Bridgerton, and that dress is *amazing*.

Ok, the youths are right about using mayo on the outside of grilled cheese.

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

The way I knew what image he was referring to before I clicked through and saw it.

Back to Love is Blind and this slimy little man. Also, is she hot, or just blonde?

Watching Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse for the first time. It’s pretty great.

I keep thinking about people who downplay slurs but lose their fucking minds when you call them racist.

Breaking MS NOW: Agents with the FBI's elite evidence response team were delayed in reaching the scene of a mass shooting at Brown U. in December because there was no FBI plane available. Kash Patel was in south Florida at the time with one of the FBI's two available jets.

The woman has no criminal record and is unsure what prompted the threat of removal. She fears being deported to Iran given her father's military service and her Christian faith. n.pr/4rB8gap

I can't get over this number: in 2007, there were 360,000 newspaper jobs. Now, there are 80,000. "My local paper sucked!" Sure. What sucks even more? The void. "I get all my news from the Guardian!" No, the Guardian doesn't report on your town council, your school board, local cops.

Here's a short thread about some political and intellectual icons and their work at, and appreciation for libraries.

So there's a black girl scout troop trying to raise money to to to Europe but they aren't close to their goal as of yet. Please share this and buy some cookies if you can digitalcookie.girlscouts.org/scout/reagan...

Any black person being transphobic should genuinely be pointed at and shamed into the ground b/c when it happened to Serena Williams even my mom was commenting on how she heard those same things lobbed at Black women back in the 1960s and we ALL know those accusations go even further back than that.

Americans today describe a complicated relationship with the news. 🧵⬇️

This is well a good, but if you limit me to paper, I’m going to make a mess and I’m never going to review or share what I wrote down ever again.

“Eminent domain falls hardest on Black and brown communities, where political power is weakest… Black people make up more than half of the Americans who’ve lost property through eminent domain since World War II, despite making up at most 14% of the country, according to several analyses.”
