yes you fucking morons free preschool for everyone or it becomes just "free preschool for the poors" and then you call them leeches and ask for tax breaks when really we want free preschool for everyone because we want smart well adjusted kids why is this so hard? www.nytimes.com/2026/03/31/n...

Did you know there are actually two sides to the question of whether women are people?

"They say the idea is catching on." I asked some weird goofballs that no one hangs out with whether no one actually hangs out with them or if they're secretly popular and they told me they're secretly popular! Wow!

Restaurant websites that only let you view their menu through clicking "Order Now" must be destroyed. Sometimes we just want to look at the menu.

update 2 I think they’re starting a religion??

this was mine

update: the users have rebelled and declared a second omnichannel

Anyone who wants citizenship to be an inheritance linked to blood, such that out-groups can be unrepresented and exploited by the in-groups, is a fucking fascist and needs to be treated as such.

you don’t have to know much world history to look at this map and immediately see why the entire western hemisphere has birthright citizenship

to celebrate the holiday i turned my friendgroup discord into one single OMNICHANNEL. i think they like it too much.

monday

This story is insane. Married an American, arrested at her greencard interview, flown out of state, nearly killed multiple times when her diabetes was ignored and then mistreated. When she finally got out? Found out her credit card had been used illegally. www.daylightsandiego.org/san-diego-wo...

Spark Space offers shelter, electricity, and internet for students and remote workers, and they're expanding their services! Help them continue being a lifeline for their community by setting up recurring donations - even $5 a month is a huge help:

The NYT quotes a young conservative operative without identifying him as such. On the left, the NYT quotes him wondering why anyone would think Trump is different from any other president. And then on the right, is that kid's Substack insisting that Trump is different from any other president.

The Birthday Boy president. The only thing the Republican Party stands for is violence and making sure the Birthday Boy has his big boy birthday.

i want to get hired to work on The Pitt but my only duty will be to yell at whitaker's actor when he fucks up his american accent

mavis beacon did not teach you typing so you could make such terrible posts

I have no interest in this man’s problems

Hey, y'all! This is my photo, so let me provide context to this awesome piece: it's a reprinting of the Oberlin letter in a mag called The Luddite Dispatch, a publication of The Luddite Club in Brooklyn. www.theludditeclub.org

maybe? I think trying to guess who is bad by whether you like the art is never going to work great though, and retroactively being like "I didn't like this" is just a way of trying to make it about you

I dunno I think "were Harry Potter books good" is a completely irrelevant question to the moment. like, you don't need to avoid them because they're artistically bad, you need to avoid them because there are concrete, specific ways that interacting with them funds Nazi stuff

"Earthsea was better" sure, but if Ursula Le Guin was alive and funding Nazis then you would need to boycott her too, whether they're good books is beside the point

OBERLIN LUDDITE CLUB HOW DO I JOIN UR ALUMNI BRANCH

this is so pointless lmao. its basically like an extended edition of the movie. i think the wallpaper in the dursleys is the same as in the films

my childhood girly games

“clown event still possible” put that in your pocket, I can already tell you that this is the key phrase of 2026

imho theres a huge issue rn with people equating someone's morality with the media they consume. when JKR went TERF, people loved dropping "well, i've never liked HP" like a badge of honour. when the gaiman stuff came out, then came the "oh, you can just tell from his work"

i hate when people boil the problem down to 'liking harry potter.' its fine to LIKE harry potter, its when that 'like' becomes giving money to a person who'd do evil with it thats the problem

the airport really is the ultimate pressure point for senators, huh

some @hellgatenyc.com bracket choices i found especially heinous

@hellgatenyc.com making me choose between my two strongest-held beliefs in the Sweet Sixteen of the annual hot takes bracket, absolutely brutal matchup. hellgatenyc.com/march-madnes...

one of my clients gets emails from an Internet of Things substack and i think this same thing every time

Every time I’m in Union Square I think about how Tammany Hall, the seat of power for New York for decades, is now a Petco

"Cars are the most absurd means of transport in a city. They are parked 95 per cent of the time. It takes two tonnes to move someone who weighs 70 kilogrammes. And the denser the city, the more absurd it is."

i gave a 'talk' abt the franklin expedition tonite as a part of a thing my friends and i are doing, s/o to my partner for putting this together extremely fast after i summarized the victory point note

The nature of human rights is that they apply to, you know, all humans

fuck, I’m sorry, I can’t compete with this

What's scary about this story is the surveillance it hints at. This trans woman had changed her name, legally, but chose not to change her gender marker. She was apparently flagged in the DMV system as trans and her license was invalidated under a law that supposedly only concerned gender markers.

shockingly people are capable of simultaneously, 1. Hating their government 2. Hating the people who bomb and sanction their country, making regular life impossible and murdering members of their family, even more

"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school

Your opposition to war can just be that war is evil. it doesn’t have to be more complicated than that.

Additionally, I want to speak directly to Iranian New Yorkers: you are part of the fabric of this city — you are our neighbors, small business owners, students, artists, workers, and community leaders. You will be safe here.

american movie owns and more people should see it

They will try to tell you that murdering 85 little Iranian girls in their elementary school is a feminist act........

The West can recognize it was a mistake for Ukraine to give up its nuclear weapons because it left the door open to the invasion from Russia, but will not accept that countries like Iran and North Korea desire them to stop Western meddling and attacks.
