4 lovely ladies enjoying a pumpkin

My grandparents are ridiculous how are you in your 80s and you don’t have a will😭

“Abort that thang” is my favorite string of words in the english language

Rape is the core of the MAGA ideology, the metaphor of dominance and degradation that motivates all their actions, and their rhetoric descends very quickly from the symbolic register down into a literal one.

Most random historical figure I’m distantly related to is the judge in the Sacco and Vanzetti trial. Not really a fun fact I can do much with.

The “this” in the post is the murder if Renee Good and I promise you, Bluesky, you do not have to rehabilitate Trump by saying that ICE was equally bad under Obama and Biden. Eyes on the fucking prize, my god.

RAGTIME CAST RECORDING IS OUT!!

He has…sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance. For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us: For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:

Would love to see a documentary or pop nonfiction book about this I bet it’s juicy

This is what I mean when I say this. This sounds insane to anyone not already swimming in this stuff, and it’s both analytically and practically dumb to call some suburban grandma who is currently hopping mad about federal immigration enforcement a Nazi she lacks a crippling social media addiction

Found out im distantly related to a president but it’s not even a cool one

Happy to announce that my parents have reached a level of divorced where my maternal uncle came to my dad’s birthday dinner and they had a great time yapping about football together

Would be nice if people on the internet didn’t talk about Venezuelans like they’re about to pull out a set of calipers

I think there's two basic dynamics underpinning shitty mob behavior online, and the Sky Marchini/Will Stancil stuff is an unfortunate example of each. The first is a feeding frenzy - when a post is over-interpreted or just straightforwardly misinterpreted, and especially when it escapes context.

I love these two so much i’m on the episode with the dead clown

This conspiracy theory is on the same level as “photos from the civil rights movement are in black and white to trick students into thinking it was a long time ago”

Some fun names from my puritan ancestors: Thankful Field, Bathsheba Hayward, Deliverance Priest.

Came across this on Instagram and was immediately annoyed - most people currently alive can’t read most historical documents for a myriad of reasons that far exceed handwriting. That’s why people who actually do read those documents (historians) learn palaeography!

Guess I won’t be reading today bc someone has decided this book makes a good pillow

Watching the CBC new years broadcast because I can’t find the remote. These people are the nicest drunks I’ve ever seen.

If you get the majority of your news from a vertical video with someone talking to camera, your brain is cooked This is true regardless of what your politics are

the host won’t let us name our trivia team “shit show at the fuck factory” ):

you can make fun of old ppl who use flip phones all you want. They buy those things new and for a reasonable price and they’re reliable. Today I got in my grandfather’s car and saw what I believe is an iPhone 4 or 5 sitting in the cup holder. Now that’s real oldhead shit.

I think Maine is best understood as the florida of the northeast

Currently the kind of sick where everything tastes disgusting fuck my stupid life

Can someone pls get me dunkins I am so sick and miserable rn I need dunkin I deserve dunkin

Pringles only taste good when I’ve been drinking. There must be science to this

BREAKING: Santa Claus has been shot down by Houthi rebels over the Red Sea.

I like reading old timey naturalization papers. my 2x great grandfather’s naturalization petition made him—an irish catholic—renounce any loyalty to queen victoria twice on the same page

Bari Weiss is best understood as an anti-speech activist on behalf of power. This is through line from her start trying to get professors fired for critiquing Israel to running interference for Elon Musk to now working as regime censor for Trump at CBS www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

posts you can hear

Can’t figure out if it’s the shape of my head, the positioning of my ears (one is mildly deformed and sits lower than the other) or the shape of my nose but I have never owned a pair of glasses that aren’t constantly sliding off of my face

My 11th great grandparents were on the mayflower and I think immigrants make our country great and “heritage americans” are annoying so checkmate Brianna

I cant believe she lived into her 90s with the kind of bs she had to put up with every day. my queen.

Jesus H Christ

Found a census record where my 2x great grandmother listed herself as the head of household. Slay.

Bari Weiss gesticulates like she’s making an invisible sandwich

So much terrible writing and thinking about race and racism starts from trying to invent special rules for race and racism, rather than accepting the broad principles of “am I not a man and a brother?”.

I love in s1 of mad men when Sal says the gayest shit you’ve ever heard and everyone else at the office is like haha classic Sal he really knows how the ladies think

really upsetting to think about how many of the women who are assumed to be victims of serial killers/organized crime/etc turn out to have been killed by a man close to them. I hope to see justice for tanya & tatiana soon www.nytimes.com/2025/12/06/n...

Sorrry I haven’t seen that new hbo show I only watch network procedurals from 2003

Cher Noble would be a great name for a ukrainian-american drag queen

Hey man how’s it going

I’m sure many of us thought of the same person but I won’t name names

referring to my friends as “the gang” like we are sitcom characters

Godddd imagine what a pain in the ass it would be to barter for everything🫩

Not quite what my mom was looking for no

PSA: Five Below has very cute Christmas wrapping paper‼️
