America is extraordinarily radical in that there are tons of different ethnic groups here, and we not only generally get along with each other, but the law treats us all equal equally, and we all do the same shit like eat fried butter. What MAGA dares to ask is: what if we didn’t

Most hated politician of your life so far

My favorite records of 2025. More detail will come in my annual playlists in a week or two: screenofdistance.com/2025/12/01/b...

I'd say this is my favorite conspiracy theory except it's not a conspiracy theory, it's just real. That's not Melania, it's often not Melania; the real question is does HE know it's not

Has this man never heard of a turkey sandwich, it's kind of a famous food item

Just sitting in The Dube listening to Pictures Of You on the jukebox like it's 1990 or something

Powerful.

If you're in the neighborhood, we're doing the regular Thanksgiving Eve thing at O'Reilly's 🦃

One of my cousins used to try to make her 7-15yo children hug me when leaving family gatherings & it felt really rude when I contradicted her - about her own kids' behavior, no less - but nobody owes anybody a hug & also *I'm* not really a hugger

Please give me one show that explains nothing please

Amazing to learn that Isaac Chotiner can apparently just come for you in your replies. Like suddenly realizing you're swimming in open ocean

Once saw a man by the river doing a sort of Mortal Kombat stance, squaring up to a massive hissing swan & he kept shouting “I won’t fucking back down pal” at it, as it advanced on him, wings outstretched like a terrible, vengeful angel & sometimes it seems like that is basically the entire world now

Gender is a spectrum from just wanting have fun to being back in town, and to varying degrees, each of us contains attributes of both, which is a beautiful thing

In an era filled with tech dipshits who never developed emotionally past the age of 13 & use their wealth to become odious monsters ... ... listen to Steve Wozniak.

"They show what people are actually using AI for" - no. Not "people" - MEN. Men are doing this

Sure, but the article frames this as a “both sides” problem when the Republicans actually support young people in politics and provide pathways to advancement. Elderly Democrats block the advancement of young people and put cancer patients in committee chairmanships www.semafor.com/article/11/2...

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

So ACAB, absolutely, but wtf are we going to do about the speeding & the red light running? Downtown - all of High St, really - feels like a death zone

I am increasingly of the opinion that people who change menus and look and feel of computer software just so that you know it's a new version should be personally forced to play tech support to my mother for five months.

Baby, don't worry, it's not a worm defector.com/olivia-nuzzi...

This thread is fantastic, somebody make this happen

Yesterday, a Republican tried to give me holy water and Trump perfume because I’m “demonic.” Extremely normal stuff coming from an extremely normal party.

@talcotts.bsky.social oh I forgot to mention - I think you've been replaced (cc @twixlen.bsky.social)

Every time I see them on campus I am amazed that the students nearby are just, like, peacefully coexisting w these things. Sharing the crosswalks w them & whatnot. BACK IN MY DAY we would have knocked them over at the very least #kidstoday

Guys and Dolls is the show that is most likely to be wildly entertaining regardless of which company is staging it, up to and including 7th graders.

I think lots of men believe women; they just don’t think it matters

Oreoboros

Last wknd someone told me I look like Melanie Lynskey, which is pretty good on the pre-existing scale of Amy Schumer (true but ugh) to Maria McKee (thanks but wtf)

I tried to provide a simple guide to assessing which senators are ready and willing to battle back from Trumpist autocracy and which aren’t.

Why are they so dedicated to making humanoid robots? This upright design we've got is terrible, it was probably a mistake in the first place but we're stuck w it. Robots aren't though! They can be any shape, why make them have knees & balance on 2 tiny feet? Dumb

Kendrick, Joyce Carol Oates, Menswear Guy, and Isaac Chotiner are the Voltron of People You Don't Want Focusing on You

God bless Michael Shannon. '“I’m sure anybody who’s associated with promoting and selling this movie to the world is going to be horrified by everything I’ve said in this interview,” he agrees. “But I don’t really care.”'

Somehow I found myself on Larry Bird tiktok & it's the best, I laugh at every single story of him telling various famous basketball players how he's going to humiliate them on the court & then doing it

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.

One upside to living in Ohio is you don't have to worry about your senators caving in bc they're already about the worst fascist pricks you can imagine

The Witch of November runs through November 16 with performances at 7:00 pm Fridays and Saturdays, and 2:00 pm Sundays. MORE: columbusunderground.com/theater-revi...

My theory about Joyce Carol Oates is that all her bad posts are her charging up like Godzilla's spines until she lets loose with a radioactive blast that leaves the world's richest Nazi a pile of ash

Having now seen what he looks like, I want Greg Bovino to be tailed by protesters yelling "Hail Saint Nick" and singing Christmas carols

HAPPY FOUR SEASONS TOTAL LANDSCAPING DAY TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE

Holy shit, that's a great story and I will never again be performatively irritated by that awkward name.
