it’s no contest

What a time to be alive

these people are just so pathetically cruel

Congrats on Donald Trump for inventing the first Pyrrhic Loss

Cooling down after the gym and making dinner

True cosmic horror isn’t that the universe is hostile. It’s that the universe is indifferent. This holds true at the human level. We imagine monsters with malevolent aggression toward us—but in reality, the greatest horror on earth is other humans indifferent to suffering.

George Orwell described the appeal of the British Empire’s colonial service as a way for British failsons to lord it over subject people overseas the way they were lorded over back home. The antebellum South served that purpose as well.

Fetterman is doing tremendous damage to the reputation of the Big Oaf community. Big Oafs did not ask for this kind of toxic representation. Now we must lumber back into the shadows, hiding under bridges wearing our most somber JNCO jean shorts, drowning in both our sorrows & voluminous denim

mill's dedication: this is a jointly authored work a century & a half of male editors: mill exaggerated out of a sentimental fondness for his wife mill's letters: no, really, most of "my" work was partly by her, i really could not be clearer on this

I love the slightly janky lynx with all my heart

Carly Rae Jepsen having her baby means we can celebrate yet another saint today

If you want to appreciate the Sinners' cinematography win and learn a lot about technology and who it's for, reading up on how traditional film treats black skin is going to be really eye-opening if you've never taken the journey.

These Pernicious Gambling Apps Will Embed Themselves Deeper and Deeper Into Public Life, Disintegrating Social Trust In Unpredictable and Dangerous Ways vs. No It Won't

guys I don’t think Trump won the culture war

One benefit of still being on Facebook is being occasionally reminded of photos of me cuddling with my sister's cat who was reluctant to trust most people.

I'm sorry

Being a good partner tonight by encouraging my husband in his fitness goals and saying he's getting big ol bara tiddies

Okay it sounds like it's related to enrollments of *suppliers* www.cms.gov/newsroom/pre...

As is so often the case, this interview of former NYT editor Billie Jean Sweeney, by @davidforbes.bsky.social, is once again highly relevant to current events. Sweeney breaks down, in detail, how anti-trans bigotry's pushed from the very top of the company.

I've picked a good time to learn how to avoid Certain Kinds of Discourse

This is a CAT checkpoint. Show me the most recent cat image on your phone. (Bonus dog and husband arm)

gonna be fr I think media analysis is important of course but I also think we're over-indexing on the "let's figure out if this TV show is good or evil" economy

Good morning

Broken Social Contract

Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.” Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

Mom can you pick me up? Yeah theyre inventing new theories of value again

It is very funny that one of the only people, out of thousands of the ultra rich and celebrities who were exposed to Trump and Epstein's pedophilia, who immediately said fuck this and got out of there was the dude from 2 Live Crew

one thing that would be cool, when prominent creators turn out to be terrible people, would be if we didn't have to go through this performative dance of insisting that their work was never good in the first place.

Relaxing in a post haircut and brunch haze

it’s a good day to be a Bari Weiss hater

the practical effect of arresting lemon et al is to spark widespread condemnation, especially since these arrests will certainly be thrown out. this doesn't mean the action isn't a dangerous escalation, it does mean the white house doesn't know what to do but spam its only attack

Should I start posting thirst pics here on occasion y/n

Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics

New hobby unlocked

Cripes a’mighty people, Steven Miller is not staging a militarized ethnic cleansing and sending the border cops to murder people in the street to distract from the Epstein files. He’s doing it because he and Trump (and Vance and Homan and Noem etc) really really want to.

This place is morally superior to Twitter for reasons that don't need to be explained on here. But I think the sense that being here is a moral act in and of itself (it's not) gives a lot of people permission to lecture strangers about things that are dumb and also frankly none of their business

forget the long arc of history bending towards justice, I need the rube goldberg machine of inexorable consequence to endgame the kind of profoundly ironic yet blackly hilarious karmic downfall that would’ve had ancient greek theatergoers hollering at the chorus

one lesser awful thing about the Epstein files is that genuine crimes against a huge number of children are being morphed into fuel for the influencer industrial complex who don't care about truth or accuracy and just want grist for the content mills

"It is logically impossible to simultaneously be evil, corrupt, and incompetent" is an absolutely amazing take to have in the year of 2025

Not now, haunted Victorian shoes

...this might get me to watch it

I hate the online reaction cycle that praises a piece of art a lot and uses it as an example of what’s good about the medium but then the moment it gets awards or enough acclaim or fandom, suddenly we have to talk about how it’s actually not really that good and it’s overrated and always sucked
