One of the worst parts of American policy is we're obsessed with things they want SOCIAL consequences for, and how that interacts with material issues. Like, a lot of people who are pro-life are not actually pro-life but are just mad there's inadequate levels of shame for getting abortions.

Well, I hope they remember to register their pets on that post-Rapture pet adoption site that I just confirmed still exists. aftertherapturepetcare.com

If you would like to point to one major problem that led to why we are here, it is this. And what people tend to pay for more and more is opinions from people who are on the same page, and who utilize reporting from the last few outlets that do much.

I just realized that I might be dealing with my general horror over *everything* by buying dresses but also I think it's proooobably okay as long as they're second-hand? Also it's not my fault that every dress on earth looks fucking adorable with cream snakeskin combat boots.

I love this.

God help me, I stopped into a bar to figure out what to do with my nails and ran into a "2000s bar crawl." At 4pm.

Ok I'm sorry but who gets a Starbucks order to honor ... anyone? That's not a thing! It's not a thing that people do!

Ugh I just want things to be nice and not horrible so I can be shallow.

Mood:

They never cared about free speech. They cared about being able to say bigoted shit without any social consequences.

Heritage Foundation has released an absolutely insane policy proposal to label all trans people as domestic terrorists. It uses completely made up instances of terrorism and made up statistics but facts don't matter to them. They want us all eradicated.

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly. sbgi.net/tv-stations/

"And for all the concern about the First Amendment ... what about all the amendments that Charlie Kirk lost? Because Charlie Kirk has no amendments right now." - Kayleigh McEnany

if you want to understand tailoring, you only need to watch mid-century movies, when actors were dressed by tailors, not brands. in the 1944 film cover girl, gene kelly's suit drapes beautifully, moving with him, not against him. collar stays on his neck, even as he dances.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere. It means more power for them and less freedom for you.

hey so this is insane

The idea that this is any kind of "chickens coming home to roost" situation for the Left is some bullshit. This is, if anything, the situation we were trying to prevent. We did not use *the government* to stop people from criticizing us.

IT'S OFFICIAL: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York State, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and New York City have formed the Northeast Public Health Collaborative. The collaborative will issue their own vaccine recommendations and coordinate public health efforts.

Five years ago I went undercover and met a bunch of guys who love Hitler at Turning Point USA.

Honestly I'm just so grateful that RHOSLC is starting back up again tonight. I need this.

AND THE CATEGORY IS?

I went to the vegan jerk festival and they ran out of YOU.

I REALLY hope this flag is at half mast for an entirely different reason than I'm thinking.

ICE killed a father of three in Franklin Park a few days ago. They are snatching people at gas stations, at bus stops, and from their homes and cars, leaving screaming, panicked children in their wake. It is a nightmare, and when ICE has amassed 10,000 new agents, it could be the new normal.

Legacy media and cable news reduced Trump's aggression against Chicago to a question of whether troops would be sent immediately. When he said he was taking his fascist military spectacle elsewhere, those media players declared the situation over—while waves of federal agents attack our neighbors.

ICE has fired tear gas and pepper balls at protesters outside their Broadview facility. They are terrorizing immigrants across Chicagoland. The time to resist is now. It will only get harder as authoritarianism tightens its grip. Please pay attention to this struggle.

Ben Shapiro was on Bill Maher last night using this Guardian quote to say it proved without a doubt the shooter was liberal and then it turned out to be total junk. Very few people will see the correction. The damage has been done and the false narrative grows stronger.

If we are so goddamned fabulous at indoctrination, then why does the Right have no idea what we even believe? Like, if you ever listen to them talk about us, it is all pure speculation and bizarre things they made up, definitions of words they've changed to suit their needs, etc.

Lost in the discussion of how Charlie Kirk "did politics the right way" are the lives of the two victims assassinated at Florida State University by a member of Kirk's organization, Turning Point USA, in April 2025.

Y'know that Guardian article which cited an anonymous friend of Tyler Robinson claiming he was the only "leftist" in his family? It just got updated after the "verified source" decided he couldn't remember his "relationship" with the accused shooter well enough to be quoted

Post a pic of you that's not actually a picture of you

I am really learning that normal people know practically nothing at all about Groypers. I'll tell you, I have been wondering for YEARS how the Right has been able to get away with pretending they're the normal ones and we're all crazy. This is how.

Do they just tell you how to play the lottery at the store? Is it expensive? Because I'm kind of on a roll this week but also don't actually know how to play the lottery beyond scratch cards.

Do not forget that they did this. They ended up going after a random non-binary person as well as these two.

You know, I don't like to engage in stereotyping, but I really don't think this "gun-toting, cowboy loving" (according to his mom's Facebook) Tyler Robinson guy from Utah is a transgender woman or a "radical violent leftist."

Holy fuck. MAGA is putting people's lives in danger — claiming that a trans woman who looks absolutely *nothing* like the man in the picture, or that a man who debated him one time & also looks nothing like him are the shooter (and possibly also the same person! With a magically changing jawline!)

Somehow it's always angry, bitter men who go around talking about how terribly unhappy they believe women who take the pill/have sex/don't have kids/have jobs are. I have a feeling that this is probably because every time they try to talk to a woman, she tells them to get the fuck out of her face.

In case you were in need of some good news today — I got a $3500 Yves Saint Laurent dress for $59 and the *only* thing wrong with it is that the hem needs to be resewn.

You know, I said yesterday "Watch the guy turns out to be a Groyper" ... Kinda wondering now after seeing the shirt.

Gonna need to point out that I have yet to see a single "Remembrance of the Saint-like Charlie Kirk" article that mentions anything he believed except in the most watered-down of terms.

Certainly an interesting choice given Kirk's well-known hatred of MLK Jr.

Considering that the best "PR" move may actually be to paper the damned internet with Kirk's most horrific and disturbing quotes, to demonstrate what an absolute piece of shit he was. Because you know if it were reversed they'd be talking about the person had brought it upon themselves.

Charlie Kirk’s group, TPUSA, unfurled a “White Boy Summer” flag on stage and distributed WBS merch.

As much as I understand the impetus behind the whole "Don't say the name of the shooter, don't analyze their manifestos or dwell on their motives, talk about the victims instead" thing ... it has created a vacuum wherein the Right has been allowed to write their own stories about these incidents.

Fun fact: As a child, I thought that Oliver North's middle name was "Fucking," as it was really the only time my mom ever used the word in front of me (that I recall).

I may have exploded.

My cousin's uncle was just telling me that he heard he's not going to be able to get his Sicilian olive oil, so my assumption is that there are going to be a lot of very angry Italian people out there. www.npr.org/2025/08/28/n...

Was just saying the other day — I think dive bars are gonna make a comeback.

Somehow I just don't believe this is Actual Meryl Streep selling me "Korean Retinol Tea."
