There's a fine line. If you're sitting at the intersection calm your shit in wait. If you're not, get as close to the car in front of you as safely as you can, so people can get into turning lanes and out of intersections/exits. People who sit at a light with gaps are the WORST.

Fan comes from the word "Fanatic" and usage of "Stan" as a pejorative for Toxic Fans works to distract from the fact that Fanbases are already inherently toxic and bad.

I'm seeing a lot of folks pointing to exit polls saying "Gaza wasn't a factor" as if more than a third of the country didn't vote.

Liberals pundits treating politics as a numbers game after all these years is wild to me because you would think by now that they would realize that for the average person the most important part of a statistic isn't its size or probability, but how relative it is to the individual.

Political scientists are the real problem careers that capitalism tried to convince us ambulance chasers were.

Im not a dad. I wanted to be one but the universe saw it not fit to have my wife and I conceive. But 3 years ago we took in my Wife's cousin who had a very rough and unstable home. Its been a rollercoaster of a life since then and we're doing our best to give her a loving and supportive home.

All America has to do is survive is to win at a single game of "Don't Wizz on the Electric fence" but our president has a weak bladder, can't read, and enjoys wizzing on fences.

He's a heroic samurai. He's a galactic superhero. He's both at the same time! He's also an Autobot, an Imaginary Friend, and a Jamaican bureaucrat from THE WORLD OF TOMORROW!!! #VoiceoverWednesday salutes the great Phil LaMarr, a man of impeccable range and talent.

One of my old Leaders at a previous company has a new LinkedIn PFP that makes her look like she's cosplaying Android 17 from DBZ 🤣😭💀

Would be a good thing if not for the obligatory "what are we, a bunch of Asians?" Didn't know Hans Christian Andersen's classic folktale was set in Korea.

Whenever people discuss the modern perils of disagreement framed as "people don't know how to be civil" I think about how civility is what got us to pogroms and concentration camps. It was "friends across the aisle" and lesser evil voting. It was letting bygones be bygones and trusting the process.

Platner is the perfect DNC candidate. If he loses, its because the progressive branch didn't support him enough. If he wins and inevitably goes full DINO, it's still better than having a Republican, regardless of how he votes and nothing will fundamentally change.

The venn diagram of folks who think raw milks is good, folks who think systemic racism is made up, and folks who don't understand history is a circle.

White folks are giving Platner so much more grace than he deserves. The shifting of the goal posts and their complete unwillingness to ignore every single action of every DINO in recent history is astounding. It's one thing to say VBNMW suck it up, but don't try to sanitize him.

My favorite moments: - the grand juror pointing out that according to the prosecution's logic, anyone in the vicinity of a conspiracy is part of the conspiracy - the grand juror pointing out that you can't impede someone from doing their duty if they haven't even clocked in yet.

This makes me miss old Twitter because wtf are these responses Bruv?

Master class on being loud and wrong

Friendly reminder that "harm reduction" is a technique where you meet a person that partakes in risky behaviors that you want to help halfway to reduce the harm that they can assume/cause from that behavior. Such as providing clean and safe paraphernalia, or legalizing sex work.

Keith David has finally received his well deserved star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Today is his 70th birthday!

Random White politician: *rightfully calls out Republican hypocrisy on TV* Random white people: "OMG THEY SHOULD BE PRESIDENT" The bar is on the other side of the planet.

Misogyny is the way that people will talk about how AOC is too green for a presidential run, while also discussing if Ossoff is a good candidate for 2028. They're the same age and she's served as a politician two years longer than him.

Imagine being so unable to love your child that you set fire to the whole damn world instead.

Happy Pride Month. If you're a gay man, please remember your power. People often think that gay men are innately fashionable, which means if you wear some stupid shit for long enough, straight people, including homophobes, will copy you and then you can laugh at them.

Today: the North Shore Half-Marathon. I run it every year to mark my decline. This year: 1:47:30. 21 seconds slower than last year. Time marches on, but I'm making it drag its heels.

Me when everyone at our company is lamenting that our AI vendor switched to token usage and day to day workflows are burning through monthly tokens in a week:

The most frustrating thing about politics is that we'll have policies on the table like: "Get rid of golf course to make public garden" "Put statue of Frederick Douglas up at Golf course" "Make 2nd private golf course at old Mall" And everyone will act like the first policy is the radical one.

The only folks calling it a hoax were conservatives who wanted to pretend to be "sensible". I did see plenty of people on the other side say that there were guard rails to stop it from happening, but also people saying that neoliberals could stop it from happening. Both camps were VBNMW.

I would say it's appropriate, considering their obsession with 1776 commisons and projects. He's destroying the country because he and many others are obsessed with undoing the progress that better people have made to create a country better than the founders left it.

Nobody can get you on video using slurs if you don't use slurs.

I want you to remember that last year, well before Janet Mills dropped out, his entire campaign staff knew about this bombshell. They knew and they said nothing. Genevieve McDonald learned *the same month she resigned over his tattoos* and simply sat on it. As a group his campaign fucked around.

I love watching this asshole roll down stairs

Me explaining to anyone who will listen how I just really like Keith David and everything he’s ever been in, even the bad stuff, because he just seems to always be having a good time and I’m glad he’s getting a star on the Walk of Fame because good for him.

The wonderful actor Keith David is set to be honored June 4 with the 2,847th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, in the Motion Pictures category. Guest speakers: L.A. Mayor Karen Bass, Lynn Whitfield, John Carpenter, and John C. McGinley.

The only explanation for this "post" is that the Atlantic was having a "make a negative psuedo-intellectual post based on a topic pulled from a hat" challenge and Ian pulled the new Yoshi game.

A lot of attention is paid to craft traditions in Western Europe and North America, such as handsewn Hermes leather goods and bespoke Savile Row suits. But the uneven focus leads some to believe that things made outside of these places are low quality. This is not true. 🧵

"As Black people we ask, “Nixolisa ngani?” (With what are you apologizing?). The material makes manifest the spirit of intent. Reparations enflesh the spirit of atonement. This is a question that demands that our enslavers & colonizers open their hands and show us the substance of their apologies."

Another reminder: if there exists *any* class of people who don't have due process rights, then *nobody* actually has due process rights because the government can always just say you're in that class.

Khanna: "This is a Dred Scott court. They have engaged in the fastest rollback of Black political rights since Rutherford Hayes ended Reconstruction in 1877. One-third of African American seats are threatened. We are not speaking up strongly enough against a court that's rolling back civil rights"

One thing Mamdani does better than most politicians, even the great Orator Obama himself, is that he gives people space to speak for themselves.

My friend PawPaw Rod has a new album out. It’s perfect music for the summer—soulful, breezy and fun—and reminds me a little of Sly and the Family Stone. independent.ffm.to/pictureday
