Russ threatening to fire a bunch of us next week. Bro I’ve been here before, you wanna break the economy, go for it.

I used the word upskill in a sentence today and now I’ll never be clean

Something makes me feel insane I wonder what it is oh yes it’s how stupid everything is

I love how uppity conservatives love to stereotype progressive women as having tattoos and blue hair and being out of shape; I’m like, dude you have NOT seen my relatives, or any trailer park in the Midwest for that matter, have you?

Waiting for the news report that latent variables exist and can explain correlations between two other variables.

Idk when Kimmel comes on but I’m betting 5 loonies (I’m gonna be real mad at my fiancé if that’s not actually what they’re called) that he does a whole “unity” spiel. If he doesn’t then I’m definitely not a witch.

FIFA won’t cancel. You can tell just by the ticket prices that the people making the decisions are cut from the same “fuck the plebs” cloth as this admin

Is a Bluesky post a skeet? Is that an official term?

My inner Etsy witch says the rapture is not until next week, at least.

I changed my mind, Trump is the lamest pick me girl

"I don't like to speak ill of the dead either. It's much more fun to demonize the living.” We are finally getting around to watching Wednesday because that is my vibes rn.

Telling pregnant women to “tough it out” is my rage bait quote of the day, and I’m gonna stop there and not let myself finish.

This announcement is WILD. I’m preserving my sanity and waiting for the summary tweets from the Alts.

Just imagine what would happen if BTS says they won’t tour in the US because of what happened in GA. IMAGINE.

I did my sanity a favor and didn’t watch the thing today. The thing being football, obviously.

Wtf is this world where a woman is having to present “scientific proof” of the sex she was born as to stop a lunatic influencer who is overly obsessed with what’s in other women’s pants. So creepy. Do not like.

Maybe the “debating other people‘s basic human rights is intellectually stimulating and ethically sound” folks can go for their own tent with the fascists.

Avoiding WoW because my GM is a Disney adult whose head is so far up his own ass I’m surprised he knows what day it is. I’m not the only progressive in the group so I’m hiding out until I know it’s been covered, because I am a COWARD. But also, took him a year to remember our tank is my fiancé so …

PSA pundits joking about the civil war of Bluesky; um bro, it’s not a war when everyone here is anti-fascist. There are simply enough range of opinions to keep it from full echo chamber. Def prefer this over catering to bots and Very Online MAGAs.

Considering he thinks Cambodia is at war with Armenia (who is also at war with Aberbaijan, not to be confused with Azerbaijan), let’s just make up fake leftist groups and talk about them like they’re real, it’s not like he’ll know the difference. www.reddit.com/r/armenia/co...

And I say again, because I know Dems hate winning, it’s nice and comfy to collect kickbacks and have no responsibility, but:

Show me a picture on your phone that has your energy. Not a selfie. It was this or the bald eagle screaming from a dumpster.

I enjoy that Starbucks is literally doing everything in their power to NOT follow the Costco model of success

Well this is shitty af.

Rather than watch all of these centrist media pundits weirdly try to do some weird performative apologist dance to woo the right, folks like Ezra Klein should be “peacefully debating” progressives, imo. Stop reaching right and reach left.

Dear Starbucks, training your people to act like an ai chatbot won’t raise sales. Building a reputation as a chain that values its people and all people (and maybe lowering PSL prices) will.

Desperate Kash Patel Asks Shooter’s Family If They Can Solve Any Other Cases

Canceled it a week before because obviously I’m a witch

Gotta love Meta’s complete refusal to take any responsibility or agree it should take further steps to put in more guardrails — clearly there is an algorithm deliberately selecting these photos. Zuck sucks. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Do we think the real Ezra Klein has been body snatched

It’s ok Jimmy, now you’re free to run for president. (This is a joke.)

Hello, hi, I would just like to marry my fiancé and help people not die young, that includes all people not just red or blue

On the plus side, the clinic was full to capacity with people getting vaccines. The clinician I talked to said everyone here knows about the ACIP meeting and was trying to prepare. I was in a fairly affluent area (not where I live obvs), so not super representative, but … it’s something.

I GOT MY BOOSTER

Fearful Americans Stockpiling Facts Before Federal Government Comes To Take Them Away https://theonion.com/fearful-americans-stockpiling-facts-before-federal-gove-1819579589/

Was talking about this with coworkers yesterday. I have a couple specific areas that I work in. I’ve worked across several and studied several. But when you have MAGA family, you have to know everything about everything, have the receipts, and be prepared for them to still not believe you.

As of 8am CDC's ACIP website does not have the proposed vote language for today's COVID vaccine recommendation posted. How is the public able to engage and provide informed comments? I testified before Senator Cassidy and @sanders.senate.gov on Wednesday- this is not radical transparency.

Why does Brendan Carr look like Russ Vought’s idiot brother and why does being a ghoul so clearly age you at fucking warp speed Ok I answered my own question on that last part

The lack of an edit function on this app will be the death of me, if the redcaps don’t get me first

Other fun facts to share with your fam at the dinner table: in countries without routine HBV vaccination, chronic HBV infection is a much more common contributor to liver cancer occurrence. You know, that pesky super fatal cancer. I thought we were curing chronic disease?

Every time he talks, I think of this.

I am testing out a rumor tomorrow that as long as the provider is a medical clinician, you can get your booster from a minute clinic. When they make it this hard to figure out, there’s no way the average person can navigate this without help

Counterpoint: we can live together, because that’s what we do (they are literally our family), but they don’t get to make decisions about the economy and human rights, because they can’t be trusted to protect either one.

A good day to launch a Democratic Party-aligned think tank devoted to attacking the ACLU.

“Antifragile” rewritten as “Antifascist” is actually a banger.

Does … does …. Do … do we think he knows it’s not like, an actual group? It’s not like a book club bro

May I suggest instead of the phrase “deeply concerned,” y’all official-type folks with high positions or formerly high positions say something more appropriate, like “ICEBERG AHEAD”

I can’t even turn on the sound for the ka$$$$?h screaming matches because I already know the screeching tone I’ll hear, and I already have a local screech owl, thanks
