We are in the midst of another racial reckoning. This one purging all the gains of the former and then some.

Cops are whiny titty babies and the owner of Please and Thank You is a bootlicker.

7am: charging overtime while eating breakfast 8am: break down a person's door, kill their dog, turns out wrong house 9am-4pm: DWBs 5pm: block rush hour traffic for no particular reason 6pm: kill another dog 7pm: ignore call about armed masked men kidnapping someone, assume it's ICE and totes legit

We didn’t think the leopards would eat the resale value on our houses.

An entire political movement founded on uncovering hidden messages in documents to discover the powerful secret pedophiles and meanwhile the powerful pedophiles out here sending gmails saying "Hi fellow pedophile when are we meeting to do pedophilia again"

Just googling the heads of every hedge fund and then searching for them in the Epstein files and almost always finding direct emails or messages where he says he met with them

I’m careful with “genius”—I’m even careful with “artist”—but Catherine O’Hara was both and we scarcely deserved her.

😭😭😭😭😭😭

It’s so heavy when you are going to get groceries and you find a car sitting with its windows broken out and it’s empty but still running and someone’s stuffed animals or pictures or papers are just laying all over the road. I have personally seen at least five of these in the last three days alone

there’s a lot going on in the world but our busted evil corrupt lawless police force has a new socials strategy that local media (not Tessa obvs) just thinks is so cute (look! an officer sledding while wearing his gun! heartwarming!) and it is making me ill

every time someone has asked me the last week or so about priorities it is rental assistance. please please please people need rent to stay in their homes. scroll down to rent relief funds and pick something www.standwithminnesota.com

BYE BITCH

A gentle reminder if you’re in an area affected by the recent winter storms…

And every one of these cases will ultimately be resolved by 6 fucking judges on the most racist and regressive Supreme Court in modern history.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

If you’re not from here, I need to explain this execution was on Eat Street, a commercial corridor of restaurants and coffee shops that literally everyone goes to. Normies, queermos, weirdos, neighborhood folks. Whatever that place is in your city, imagine ICE executing someone in cold blood there.

I’m so sick of people throwing their hands up and saying abolishing ICE isn’t possible right now. Abolishing ICE is extremely popular and calls to do so will only continue to grow, meanwhile conservatives manage to do incredibly unpopular things all the time because nobody stops them

I really hope this IU win closes the portal to the dark place the Cubs opened in 2016

This week, us northern hemisphere folx will have made it through the darkest ten weeks of the year. The light is returning!

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003 when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

What a year this week has been.

there needs to be a sex offender registry but for ice guys. you should have to go door to door when you move to a new area and inform your neighbors that you used to be an ice guy. they shouldn't be allowed with 500 feet of a school

ICE responsible for 100% of homicides in Minneapolis YTD

The woman killed by ICE was Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year old who was the mother of a 4-year old child whose father already died a few years ago. The Star Tribune talked to her mother. www.startribune.com/she-was-an-a...

HAPPY PUBLICATION DAY!! “My Parents Are Dead: What Now? A Panic-Free Guide to the Practicalities of Death” is officially out in the world. Grab it wherever books are sold! #books #deathpositive #outnow #estateplanning

Reminder for everyone operating at situationally-diminished capacity.

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

it's a harsh world out there and not everyone is going to give you credit for all the great stuff you do. but Sandal thinks you have done awesome this year. he doesn't know how you do it. he also doesn't even know how to open the refrigerator but that isn't important rn

And now for some motivation from the Owensboro Burger King.

Christmas season > Christmas Day. Always.

a very happy The Fellowship Sets Forth from Rivendell Day (December 25) to all who celebrate

A REAL ONE

1/ At bargaining yesterday, @propublica.org management said that they should have 100% discretion to replace workers with AI and would not commit to labeling future AI-generated content.

incredible things happening at the nazi bar

I feel like there has only been the worst news for the last 48 hours

Mel Brooks having to bury Rob Reiner is against all laws of nature and I’m not ok about it

Happy Hanukkah everyone!

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites. The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

All I want for Christmas is for the worst people in the world to experience some consequences

The real Turing test is that AI will stop using em dashes if you ask; humans will make you pry their favorite punctuation out of their cold, dead hands.

A thing we're launching at @salon.com is a weekly art-over-algorithm newsletter on culture and entertainment that isn't decoding the latest trends but rather looking closely at stuff that's (hopefully) built to last. It's called The Swell, it's free, and it starts next week. www.salon.com/newsletter

I feel like people make worse and worse trolley problems to try to deter us from advocating for more actual trolleys
