I guarantee you most of them would fail a test of "what does the time do in the spring" These are not smart people, or people who care about unintended consequences, or people who have never eaten human flesh, or people who are used to having to think about other people.

I too would like a quarter of a trillion dollars to continue fighting (checks notes)... the monster in my closet I have named Mr. BeardyClaws.

Unless you are actually running an electoral campaign, why are you (a REGULAR person) gaming out the views of people across the country who you do not know and will never meet? One of the worst things to have happened in the last 25 years is weird election punditry by regular people.

doing Taken on some guy who said No Worries when i thanked him for holding a door open

Sadly, this will only work with hard canceling your card now. Visa lets recurring charges use the old number Source: i actually lost my credit card and all my subscriptions chugged along without missing a beat

Recently, I've had a few different people compliment me on how I'm good at giving drawings "weight," making breasts feel heavy, etc. Well you see...that's because I'm a pervert

acab but we really really really need to start charging execs for their crimes, they just do all the crimes all the time now

scientists shouldn't meddle where they're unwanted

took me a minute to confirm that he's asking for 350 followed by three commas worth of zeroes. that's up to $120 billion more than it would cost to insure every child living in the U.S. under a universal health care model. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

My Evil Dead pitch is an anthology prequel following the Necronmicon through 3 different time periods and the characters who unwisely interact with it.

The ideal system is that the entire world starts when I wake up and stops when i go to sleep and anything other than that is unbearable heresy.

One way social media has made my life worse is that I'll never again be able to hear "Daylight Savings Time" without remembering the person on Twitter who said "it's Saving" and, when I said nitpicking usage on Twitter was annoying, said THEY cared about improving themselves and were sorry I didn't

Trump's ability to strategize is on par with a blindfolded child swinging a stick around to find a pinata. If he hits something and candy comes out of it, he and his stick will be back before long

0 days of post 8am sunrises in San Diego, not my problem nerds

What the fuck am I supposed to do with sunlight at 7am

looks fine to me maybe live somewhere better🤷‍♀️

Those are the only two moods left if were being honest

Come get yo clock and yo parade,!! people.com/see-everythi...

calm down, unc

*looking around to discover we’re not playing Thumbs Up Seven Up anymore and everyone has turned in their GRE exam*

[seeing ugly couples being cute and happy] it’s not too late for me

hope all the anti-communist democrats will realize that they are also the communists he's talking about

I wrote about what looks very much like a formal US plan to institutionalize a global network of concentration camps.

this is maybe the lesson for our age. only .1% of people may like it but that's 1 million people out of a billion my concern is that i had to learn this. maybe real ones are born knowing ut

I try to bring the spirit of posting to my writing and a thing I learned from posting is the value of doing something very high effort that you can only assume you are into and how, eventually, you will be proven pleasantly wrong by a huge margin

(after only 45 minutes spent introducing Dr. Doom and his plans for world domination) CAPTAIN AMERICA: you know i left that life behind me. LUKE CAGE: i know.. we all remember you left this life behind you in Avengers End Game. but that was before we knew about Dr. Doom ME: who the fuck is Dr. Dude

Politics isn’t a preference like mustard over mayonnaise and a lot of conservatives who are mad they get rejected know that deep down

Yes I DO have a whole piece in me about visuals and tactics and how outrage teaches the admin what they can get away with, and yes I am interested in pitching it

Imagine a country being so bigoted that nobody can safely eat lettuce

You ever fire off a post and then immediately think, why did I do that, this isn't something I want to talk to anyone about It's probably 5-7 times a day for me

most people at the centrist top have no idea and lack the empathy to even imagine. they can only imagine themselves or republicans (like schumer's imaginary couple) and would be so bewildered

I really don’t think anyone has priced in how much appetite there is on our side for a politics of pure revenge, justice dispensed in wholesale rather than at retail

We need a better class of techbro so that every evil company is named after a place in Dublin visited by Leopold Bloom and every new evil product is launched on June 16.

gotta make sure we connect the diarrhea back to the regime’s cdc layoffs that’s not just explosive diarrhea, it’s the trump trots.

I recently had to explain qualified immunity and the near-impossibility of holding the police accountable in the United States to my dad. "Then we live in a police state," he said.

If ICE and DHS end vehicle stops, good. But Alex Pretti wasn't in a vehicle when they shot him. Neither was Julio Cesar Sosa Celis. Nor Keith Porter Jr. The issue is this armed paramilitary that's been shooting and kidnapping people, not the fact that so many of their victims are driving.

Writing headlines is hard. You have to compress an article into a phrase or two. And you have to fit an exact and usually inconvenient line space. Two images below: What the NYT is running on line. (h/t @jaywillis.net for calling this one out.) And what would fit exactly the same space, by me.

expanding on this further: FDR was pushed to take aggressive action by a mass labor movement that was out in the streets 24/7/365 (and kept up pressure after he was elected). That's a better strategy than if the unions had told people to vote harder in '32 bsky.app/profile/jimm...

all of the DSA Red Scare shit Fox et al are doing is about Mamdani on the surface, but it's really about blunting AOC's momentum going into '28 and I'm sure the Dem establishment is very happy about it

stuff like this is why one important avenue for court reform is just nixing the shadow docket altogether and forcing these people to explain themselves to the public when they issue orders. also, making their records property of the united states and subject to publication when they leave the bench.

I am yet again getting on my soapbox to tell y’all about how my previous job (public library) received a grant once to keep branches in some neighborhoods open until midnight on Fri and Sat. The neighborhoods were picked specifically because of higher crime rates and lack of support services (1/ )

Trump on Lindsey Graham: "He had one bad moment in the January 6 thing when he stood up -- 'alright, now I've had it, that's it, I can't do it anymore' -- then he called me about 40 minutes later and said, 'Did I really said that? I can't believe it.' And he took it back."

remember how we kept having those debates about whether monuments were reflections of history or expressions of political ideology designed to shape perceptions of history?

DISTURBING report from Dan Haar of Hearst. ICE/DHS had videographers deceptively wear "MEDIA" markings at an arrest. It's "part of a long tradition of authoritarian governments...creating confusion with what is independent media and what is government propaganda." www.instagram.com/reels/Dav_je...

good lord, is that statue supposed to represent the moment just before he got shot? To top off all you said, what does it say when the only thing that occurred to them to memorialize about a person, is his death? "Nothing in his life became him like the leaving it." -- Shakespeare

One thing I’ve noticed is that people who primarily tell others what to do are impressed by AI. The people who actually do the things are not impressed by AI. Gee, wonder why that might be.

during the covid outbreak, we got to see a video of trump standing in front of the white house visibly struggling to breathe and now there's a diarrhea outbreak and i'm just saying, lightning can strike twice

clyburn a good name to pick out here too, because he IS corrupt too, wildly so. but he still values 'not having to work' just as much if not often more than 'getting paid big time'. the modern dem corruption is one of "path of least resistance". do what's easy, clock out early, hit the links.
