research question for a writing project: what do you consider punk food? what foods, cooked and served what ways, would you envision if someone says "punk food"?

I have just heard from God, who would like it if people would stop having opinions on the existence or nonexistence of their dick and/or balls

taxonomy of usernames: persons real name - very boring person a sort of pun about their job/interest - basically fine two words and a conjunction like SpecterOfReason - this person is a nazi a word that you can pronounce but is weird like bonnnt - now we're getting somewhere

every time you see a smile on a child's face.... a butterfly, alighting on a flower.... that will be when i have fav'd your post, from a different account

in fact... you know what, I'm going to go ahead and pull the trigger. I have been posting under this name across two platforms and somehow, incredibly, it has never come back to bite me in the ass. But due to Certain Life Changes I don't think it's a good idea anymore

I think I have, in general, been posting a lot less and in part that's because I just have less to say

Hi friends! I am looking for freelance writing & editing work. Journalism-wise, my beats tend to be religion/disability/parenting and, as one editor put it, “quirky historical essays”. I also have experience writing/editing copy for websites and social media. Hit me up at [email protected]

"the cherishing of antipathies is a luxury for which [people] ought willingly to pay, instead of transferring the hateful tax onto the victim" is such a bar, my god

Oh, you know. Bad stuff

When I used to write for The Guardian, every time I wrote the word “meow” the editors would change it to “miaow”. It used to really get on my wick. Don’t try to make my cats sound like your upper middle class London cats, you fuckers. My cats did not go to your posh cat schools. They say “meow”.

if you're cis and you are asked by your management to police bathrooms, "can you confirm in writing that you are ordering me to approach customers to discuss their sex?" is an email no manager wants to reply to

when I used to work at a regionally famous breakfast restaurant i saw a lot of a specific type of dad, who would hit on the waitresses in front of his exhausted family, and I am kind of hoping that maybe this means there are less of those guys around now

TIRED: the lockhorns are millennials WIRED: leroy lockhorns specifically has an account on the bsky dot app microblogging website, and therefore is canonically 38

I don't particularly like Graham Platner or Tom Steyer but I'll vote for them if it means preventing the right from gaining more power. This isn't hypocrisy, it's what centrists are constantly — and correctly! — telling leftists to do.

like two years ago I was like I'm surprised there's not more weird cheap Chinese e-readers, and today we reap the bounty. in that light. im surprised there's not more weird cheap Chinese synthesizers

i saw the bush's baked beans rocket pop flavor and it makes me think that like.... wasting food is the last great American privilege

something I wonder a lot about is whether the audience for trans sports freakout is basically middle class parents who are terrified their daughters will not be able to pay for college without athletics scholarships. like, it's all downstream from college getting expensive

now traditionally when you actually have an audience of millions you don't need to append "Yes, millions" after saying that

If you’re in Louisville and missing your dog, he showed up shivering on my steps and is now warm and comfy and perfectly sweet.

it's so funny that he's like "hey everyone's forgotten what my head used to look like right"

The message shouldn't be "taxes are bad," it should be that you should get something for them, it's your money, it shouldn't be going to some rich dipshit's Dr. Claw-ass ballroom or into the pockets of J6 child molesters

this was HR 2616 which also bans books by or about trans and nonbinary people from schools START CALLING YOUR SENATORS NOW CIS FRIENDS TRANS KIDS NEED YOU

The bill wouldn't have passed without 8 Democrats voting for it.

Flyers give you a ton of context about an event - what the tone and the values are. AI flyers say, nobody really cares about this, not even the people putting it on!!

okay. for a second I thought that Tatiana Maslany was in all of these movies, and I was getting confused

they know they need to do SOMETHING before the midterms but they cant do anything that helps anyone in any way so they're going to do this

really enjoying the swan boy character arc where Noel is the most "normal" of the main three characters but is also such a self-absorbed weiner that it kind of implies his friendship with Rona and Swan Boy is the thing keeping him an irritating reddit poster and not like Actually Evil

the weird thing about doordash discourse for me is that every time I have used a delivery service in the past 5 years its been awful. a few weeks ago I was at home alone without a car for an evening, wanted to get some painting done, ordered some food and it took 2.5 hours

This is why the Democrats' current obsession with tax cuts is so dangerous. They're paving the way for more extreme proposals like ending progressive taxation altogether. Again, we don't need "Republican lite." We need a party that affirms that paying for the things government does is good.

hey did anyone buy a seltzer design t-shirt or sweatshirt from me, years ago? have those held up okay? I have gotten requests to make my bumper sticker designs available on t-shirts and I was thinking about using uhhh I think it was redbubble again?

Raising taxes to pay for expanded and improved government services is literally the opposite of austerity politics. Anti-tax leftism has got to be strangled in the crib before it destroys what scant hope we have of ever implementing a social democratic system in America.

hey quick question!! Can anyone else see this? Is this real? Am I having an episode? Is this occurring? Am I dead? Am I dead and this is hell?

much to ponder here....

"Instead of returning a simple list of links, Google Search will drop users into AI-powered interactive experiences at times." I genuinely do not know what this means. What is the best search engine to use now to do normal research with one's own brain? Preferably free, but I will pay if I have to.

can anyone explain to me why they do this

If you're a Democrat and you confirm someone who refuses to unequivocally say "Joe Biden won the 2020 election," you should lose your job.

something I firmly believe but can never prove is that a lot of the time when people complain about taco bell or chipotle or chinese food making them shit they're complaining about what happens when you give beans or broccoli into a body that is absolutely starved of fiber

I only acknowledge one Lirr

hey what is on fire in lower Manhattan

this is some of y'all
