Lmao apparently people near me are freaking out about a non binary teacher And I am watching the entire community come together to dunk on the much smaller group of transphobic dipshits and it is DELICIOUS The local newspaper even snarkily wrote about them and I am CRYING

Anyone want to see an adorable baby shrimp I managed to get a photo of? Love something, love someone, then back to the rage.

Some of these names are surprising...

LFG!!!

Folks! This newsletter is very good.

You can do this. You can do SOMETHING.

i think it is ok to reiterate that the victim as a us citizen. yes, noncitizens are equally entitled to human rights. but also, it's important to illustrate how ice isn't about immigration at all

Human brains feed off of negativity. Negative thoughts are easily digested and play in a loop in your mind all of the time. The reality, however, is that there is also A LOT OF GOOD happening every single minute. You have to do more work to pay attention to the good but it's worth it.

There are more of us than there will ever be of them.

We must film and post every single thing these thugs do in public spaces. Pull out your phone and hit record. Use a long lens if you've got one. Every angle covered, every masked face in closeup. A detailed visual record will matter.

losing my mind at the "she should have followed directions" people really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?

One guy tried, unsuccessfully, to blow up a plane with a bomb in his sneakers, and everybody had to take off their shoes at the airport for the next 20 years. Chatbots have a collective body count equal to Richard "The Night Stalker" Ramirez, and they're trying to put them in schools.

There is no global authority that can police the United States. The law restrains us only if we choose to be restrained. When Congress refuses to act, when courts stay silent, when we bomb nations and announce colonial rule impunity isn't an accident. It's policy. This is empire.

Taking it from snatching latines off US streets to snatching them out of their own countries.

it is incredible that the entire high level legal apparatus of the United States is "anything that helps people is impossible, anything that kills people is permitted"

So, this should finally put to rest any delusions that there are decent people left in the US military who will stand up to illegal orders and protect democracy. The US military is now more likely to kill US citizens rather than help them. They are not our friends.

living in this country is like being awake on the table

Three million people live in Caracas, five million in the metro area. It's one of the densest cities in South America. Remember this in the morning when they try to spin this as anything other than a cold-blooded attack on a major civilian center.

Jesus fucking Christ

I get the irony of reposting something aspirational from a guy with "Disillusion" in his name but I need to increase my chances of that thing

Despite what we are often told, this line from Mamdani’s inauguration speech is what true pragmatism actually looks like: “Beginning today, we will govern expansively and audaciously. We may not always succeed. But never will we be accused of lacking the courage to try.”

we wouldn't need a new year if they didn't keep making them shittier and shittier all the time

Happy new years from aus! May all the corrupt people in power have justice and accountability held upon them for once For once Please

I got this text message today and my phone decided to show me just the sender's number, so it felt like a rando messaged me about my aquarium snails. My brain still doesn't want to reconcile it as being from my husband. Imagined a ramshorn snail overheard my plans, crawled around on a phone...

Ohhh I hate that gamifying sleep is starting to make me itch to fix my sleep habits. All the negative side effects? NAH. Number go down? *laser eyes* I'm cooked (but also will succumb cuz I DO need to fix this)

Hey you know what this year fucking sucked.

The correlation between companies named after the Tolkien legendarium and their CEO/Founder being a chittering skinwalker fingering his own taint at the idea of draining the planet of all its resources and then fucking off to a sealed dome in New Zealand while everyone else suffers is extremely high

A pair of happy hammerhead sharks (ca. 1735 Edo period Japan)

This atheist is gonna come right out and say Bob here is The Best To Ever Do It

😭 I love Utrecht so much

You can pretend to have your shit together if you want. They don’t really check

Reminder that we are a year into aggressive ICE raids and concentration camps, and there’s not a single example of local cops protecting people against this violence, kidnapping, or death.

iOs switching the search bar location to the bottom of screen has me almost replying my searches as comments to random people's posts. I am become boomer 😭

Starting wars for oil we don't even want to be reliant on what the fuck

We're not supposed to be this angry every waking minute. We're not supposed to live a life in stasis, waiting for the next Truly Fucked Up Thing to occur. These "Current Times" are not normal, they are engineered by the sycophants & henchpepople of psychotic dictators. Do not accept any of it.

seattle when?

UPS supposedly got my "RFID tracked" package all the way to my city in WA then sent it back to CA and now has to reroute it. This is the level of garbage I'm going to expect if they privatize USPS and enshittify it.

If any of these people wanna pay me to teach them how to use BlueBeam, I can make up some rates.

Both times I have been shamed as a caller on a radio station it has been because of Santa Claus and most people have never been shamed on the radio at all.

Me seeing anything Pacific Rim related after the first film.

if they had just shown it on 60 Minutes nobody would have seen it

Minneapolis/St.Paul ice goons got two full car transporters of new vehicles today. They must be anticipating friends to join them. It’ll be a chilly Christmas party and they’ll get an icy reception. Folks, it’s time to charge up the batteries and make sure your winter gear is dry & ready to roll.

Hear me out: a Katamari game where the levels are based on other video games. You could roll up nurses in Silent Hill, demolish a frontier town in Red Dead Redemption, make a ball of Baldur’s Gate etc

Well at least if we're gonna get fucked... WAPNW.

Really fucking sick of my kid coming home wanting to download yet another "learning app" that they used in class only to find out it's more dopamine-chasing games with a little math sprinkled in. He gets more screens at school than he does at home and it's RUINING OUR LIVES.
