I am begging America to not be stupid enough to embrace a racist and an antisemite because Donald Trump thinks she's a meanie. Just grab some popcorn and watch the Nazis fight.

This is your reminder that Pete was mayor when two historic Black firsts took their positions (fire chief, police chief) and both had resigned under pressure from racists before the end of his tenure. Pete did nothing to protect them. He’s been shit for a very long time!

Romance should evolve, but its so clear when people want the shine and financial benefit of Romance without respecting the genre, its conventions, or the readers. It's disturbing, but not surprising that we've arrived in a place where CRAFT DOESNT MATTER is a thing people believe.

The soft pedaling language being used to describe the men in the Epstein files is enraging. They didn’t “have sex with underage girls”. They raped them. Sex implies consent. The survivors deserve better than this. Use the correct language. Say what these men did.

I see the “technically it’s ephebophelia” crowd is out today, so just a reminder that A) this is NOT a case where technically correct is the best kind of correct and B) the minute you say this, the gods dump you in the “irredeemable creeper” basket and wash their hands thoroughly after touching you.

There's a real Mickey Mouse as Sorcerer's Apprentice vibe to so many of these. "Take minutes" becomes "Take minutes on everything, including the after-meeting trash talking about Jane and forward to everyone mentioned...including Jane."

These are hysterical. One cautionary tale after another. www.askamanager.org/2025/11/the-...

I read vanishingly little nonfiction, so when I tell you Burn it Down was one of my favorite books of last year PERIOD? It means a lot.

I, not a theater nerd, loved this series. It was so utterly delightful.

I should note that this is currently free at all e-vendors...

This means—among other things—the NYT has spent the last ten years whipping up hysteria over trans women being potential dangers to children when they knew an ACTUAL CHILD RAPIST was President.

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

😆💀

The Speaker of the House shut the chamber down for two months to block the release of the Epstein Files and the president is huddled in the Situation Room of the White House to formulate a plan to keep them from being released, and I don't know why you crazy libs think there's some kind of cover up.

Started watching MURDERBOT and now I don't wanna go to work, I just want to watch MURDERBOT, which is pretty much the plot of MURDERBOT.

Your priorities? Ghastly. Your excuses? Pathetic. Your plan? Never going to work on this plane of reality. Your scolding of *us*? Arrogant, audacious, and absurd.

Authors, Beware! There's a firm called "ClaimsHero" doing aggressive social media outreach claiming to "help" you file to get $ in the Anthropic class action. In fact, it's a bait-and-switch, they are luring authors to sign up with them, then OPTING THEM OUT of the class action so they'll get zilch.

Had a dream I turned Nick Fuentes into a cat. I guess my subconscious said, "Your body, my choice."

A question for the ages

Everyone commenting that nobody wants this — nor does it address the reasons people no longer shop there — is obviously right! But I wanna point out another thing: This very nefariously transfers ~blame~ for the company’s performance (ahem, repercussions for its choices) onto store employees

BYE BOI

Great timing, theft machine!!

When I notified my mother (who is very divorced from him [complimentary]), she noted that her town also flipped blue and she actually helped. I'm in touch with the right people in my family.

I would elect broccoli first.

@stegan.bsky.social how many times have you been tagged?

Don't talk to the NYT. They've betrayed families' trust before. They will lie to you and use you and then turn around and tell you it was their job. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

IT'S ACTUALLY PAPER

just want to reiterate that the first amendment isn't something you "hide behind," it's something that constrains the government's ability to limit your inalienable rights. that distinction is very important

feeling sorry for all the millionaires and billionaires who didn’t get to see this perfect NYC sunset because they fled the city forever today. 😞

...So, among other things, my red-hat-wearing shithead father's Connecticut town flipped blue last night... I am feeling joy.

I demand taco trucks on every corner.

If it goes up, don’t cross the picket line. Collective action is the only way we ever get things done.

New statement from Chuck Schumer: “Despite not doing anything useful, and in fact being actively harmful to the process in a number of ways, I am here to take credit for other people’s hard work and risks.”

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

would be nice if this country loudly and decisively told all the people running on blatant, horrifying racism and bigotry to get fucked over and over and over again in every place and every race

every single one of these people looks like the televangelists from True Blood

At this point, every single journalist needs to have a simple one-sheet of the major news events that Mike Johnson and his toadies claim to have not seen, or know nothing about. Like, hand it to them. "Okay, here. Take your time. I can wait." Call their bluff, ffs. This is absurd.

Even better, it's been around for over a decade...

One thing I think is interesting about him is that people often associate being politically deft and able to think on your feet (and not drive into a ditch) with a lack of commitment to your beliefs, and I think he’s a good example of how those don’t have to be the same thing at all.

This is always the first thing I think of when I think of Dick Cheney.

Extraordinary how many establishment Democrats really wish they didn't have a talented rising new star who connects to people by talking to them and understanding what their interests are, then speaking to those interests. Like a job where the new guy makes everyone look bad simply by doing the job.

This is what evil looks like. I have to believe there are backroom discussions about outlawing food banks as well. Please donate to your local food bank or an org like www.nokidhungry.org or www.feedingamerica.org I donated to both. They can make those dollars stretch so far.

"Woman who waited too long yet again to make an appointment to get her hair cut." Sitting in a swivel chair under a cape, looking scraggly and vaguely embarrassed.

This is my "Lip Sync: Halo" video. It brings me so much joy.

As someone who has done immigration presentations to the general public for 20+ years, this is absolutely true. People have an imaginary version of the immigration system in their minds that is SO MUCH FAIRER and simpler than actually-existing reality.
