Free message for Democrats on taxes: We will use them to improve people's lives instead of killing people for no reason.

Man. The Democratic Party is cooked if their one big idea in this moment is tax cuts.

A YEAR

Thankfully, getting rid of legalized sports gambling won't require any analysis of capital. The left and liberals simply need to accept the doctrine of original sin.

Still thinking about the TikTok I saw last night where a Southern white guy tried Indian food for the first time and described chicken tikka masala as "It's like if you took a country Italian person and prepared it in a Chinese kind of way."

Starting to think they awarded this guy the FIFA peace prize prematurely

In reality, everyone else on the subway is actually trying to avoid the loud and annoying 14-year-olds.

MAGA sexism IS the same as the old patriarchy. Of course it is. Certain individuals, subcultures, or waves are inevitably more mask-off about it, but at base it's always the same thing. Sorry that some people had to learn this the hard way because they liked feeling edgy.

IDK, I'm glad someone was finally honest about it. People don't join the right because they believe it offers useful or correct ideas. They get a thrill out of shocking or being mean to people they don't like. That's all the right is.

This tweet, now almost a year old, is the first thing I think about every morning and the last thing I think about at night.

oh no, they're on the path to getting rid of the one thing we can hold over them as a country

Couldn't figure out why I was in such a bad mood today until I remembered I gave blood yesterday. Humors imbalanced af. Not nearly sanguine enough.

This picture makes him look kind of blue.

I'm giving blood for the first time and cracking up because there is a little cradle rocking the blood

Who do I know in San Diego? I will be there next week at the SDPL and I am afraid that I do not have enough people there. I will be talking about the Japanese American Incarceration, book bans, and what our current climate of censorship yields for us while simultaneous state sanctioned raids occur.

I am at a fancy Mexican restaurant in Manhattan and horchata is listed as a mocktail.

Can confirm the weather is good and life might actually be worth living.

Are they really and truly going to make me switch to Threads?

Can't believe they actually managed to one-up 1984 with the rarely seen "We have always AND never been at war with Iran."

Jessie Buckley was great in Hamnet, but I can't help but feel they missed a big opportunity to cast Anne Hathaway.

And just like that we’re back to “Department of Defense”

Unfortunately, “Yo brother, legal team confirmed we can’t work with minors rn” is an instant classic

Bringing this one back

The woman sitting next to me at Zone of Interest crunched her way through a box of M&Ms one at a time.

Misinformation about youth gender medicine spread by people who have a professional stake in it? You don't say...

I love that the first guy Googled him and then the second guy asked his mom for advice and SHE Googled him.

I've now had two random strangers subscribe my work email to their Substack, I guess in hopes of getting a book deal? Pro tip: This is not an effective way to get a book deal.

Was checking a spelling on Merriam-Webster, and I feel like I might have missed a headline.

When you click the "beautify slide" AI feature in Google Slides. NOT A JOKE

Why is this called "Oceans Calling" and not "Millennials: The Festival"?

reposted but i just wanna make sure that i'm a huge vouch for grace on this

On top of the depravity, it’s just a crooked market. A market that doesn’t stop insider trading has two kinds of customers: insiders and suckers.

If anyone needs another worst-case scenario to fear, last night when we were cooking dinner, the knob on the stove broke and the gas burner was just stuck on high. We had to pull the stove out from the wall with the flame still burning and turn off the gas valve manually.

"American innovation" now refers to making a kind of atrocity cronut by combining insider trading with war crimes.

We live in a world in which its entirely possible that Iran negotiations failed because people involved bet the under.

Forgot to post the picture I took of Casablanca while on a layover. Unforgettable, "here's looking at you, kid."

They don't *need* AI to make these decisions. But they *want* AI to make these decisions. Because the tech gives them plausible deniability--something to blame (other than themselves) when things go wrong.

In fact, given American policies on vaccines, guns, education, school lunch, access to health care, and so on and so forth, it would be easy to argue people overseas love their kids more.

if you dont have nukes and give us everything we want in negotiation, we might still kill you as late night television entertainment for the demented emperor

Correct but doesn’t go far enough—they are devoted to mass death. They’re in love with it

Once again, in actual democracies, people do not need to engage in permanent litigation & political mobilization to retain the basic right to vote, because none of the major political parties make restricting suffrage the central pillar of their policy platform. We also don't have to live like this.

Which is 112 more votes than the Libertarian Party

the party that wants to require ID to vote abruptly invalidating a thousand people’s IDs overnight seems like a pretty giant flashing red light

So this is the kind of move that would normally qualify someone for asylum. This is overt persecution of a minority.

The level of rage I have towards the New York Times that enabled this while blaming us for it is indescribable.

So this didn't work

They found him. He died. Another murder by our immigration goon squads
