feature, not bug

We're moving! To St Louis! Which is great! Love that town, a TON of people we love live there, and we lucked into an absolute BALLER new home. Except: packing. Moving itself. Having to touch every single item you own at LEAST twice in the span of a couple weeks.

So, now that tariffs have been deemed illegal, someone's gonna cut me a check for the thousands of extra dollars I had to pay to buy things we just don't make in the US, right? And all my friends whose companies were sunk by the tarriffs get them back? That's how it works, right?

so we paid the tariffs and now the corporations that passed the costs on to me and you are the ones that are going to be reimbursed, do i have that correct

Every news story is now “State Senator Randy Pervert (R-Springfield) was indicted on 8 counts of lewd behavior with a child under 12 and has been put on paid leave from his two jobs as Border Patrol liaison and youth pastor at First Presbyterian (PCA) where parishioners say they were ‘blindsided.’”

Drake Equation-ass equivocation...

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

Who was it that referred to Ugg boots as looking like one "foot-fucked a teddy bear?" @damnyouwillis.bsky.social, is this your doing? Feels like a David thing...

The internet is a cesspool but every day, something on Reddit reminds me that humanity is just a collection of Weird Little Guys doing Weird Little Things, and for that? Eternally grateful.

That one tweet that goes, “AI can’t be curious, stupid, or a just plain horny freak like humans, and that’s why human-made art will always be superior”

Not in the Epstein files: - trans people - migrants and asylum seekers - people who arrive in small boats - benefits claimants In the Epstein files: - rich white guys who tell you (or pay people to tell you) to hate the people above

Holy shit, Bill. @billcorbett.bsky.social

watching non-Texans discover that there's a town near Fort Worth called "White Settlement" today

I may have a stroke. Someone said protests don’t belong in church and it took every ounce of self-censure within me not to say “Deborah you are literally a Protestant.” A PROTESTant. I assume they think Luther was nailing Bed, Bath, & Beyond coupons to the door.

I don’t think we should make concessions to the Masked Murderers Guild of America. I don’t think we should compromise so the Masked Murderers Guild of America stops using kidnapped kids from schools as bait. I thought this was already illegal. The Masked Murderers Guild of America should not exist.

"winning back" MAGA and racists is not my job. i am a professional hater. my job is to make fun of these people until i die

This moment in history provides us with incontrovertible evidence that all the conservatives who claim to be extremely devoted to freedom of speech and the right to bear arms, and opposed to the encroachment of tyranny, are completely and totally full of shit. It's all white supremacy and greed.

OK, I'm finally going to bed. The replies to this post are hilarious and heartening. I hope, as ever, that I am unceremoniously jostled out of my slumber by the sounds of worldwide celebration and I yearn for that day. In the meantime, I look forward to yet more hilarious replies.

YT link to the film Dave is referencing in his short yet 🎯 video: youtu.be/0zPmQKoHfV4?...

Football is happening today but history is ALSO happening. And while it doesn't repeat, it sure rhymes in really alarming ways.

I maintain there's a parallel universe where IU's team isn't winning because in THAT timeline, Cignetti got REALLY into trains instead of football.

FERNANDO MENDOZA IN LOCKER ROOM: This is the day the lord has made! We’ll never forget this, boys! Win or lose, true friendship is the real prize! CURT CIGNETTI:

How sad is this? The CDC closed its FOIA office, so this story could only be published because a Danish journalist provided Rolling Stone with the documents, after obtaining them through a freedom of information request to the University of Southern Denmark www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

This 12 second clip from TikTok of an ice fisherman having A DAY is literally the only thing keeping me sane these days. Sound on, plz. You're welcome.

If I, a middle-aged white lady with a massive penchant for those little seasonal birdies can quit Target cold-turkey, so can you. It's been 17 months since I set foot in a Target.

Just to drill this a little deeper: A married couple just dropped their kid off at daycare. The highest levels of US government would have you believe that they then went into some kind of unhinged lesbian blood-frenzy and decided to drive their toy-filled SUV into as many ICE officers as possible.

I can still recall all the tut-tutting from the media when Harris made this argument.

Are you surprised that dehumanizing immigrants would lead to murder by an ICE agent? As @annamerlan.bsky.social reports, “the official voice of the USG: a rancid mixture of trolling, cruelty, propaganda, and crass jokes about the human suffering they’re creating” www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Black people five years ago: you know, they can kill anyone they want to out there Everybody today: hot damn, did you know they can kill anyone they want to out there?

it is the policy of this government to treat democratic-led states as conquered territories and the people therein as something like hostiles or even enemy combatants

"Which poem is that?" Trust me, you know it.

Don't know about everyone else, but I'm pretty alarmed that we've apparently arrived at the end of that Martin Niemöller poem...

Tapping my "They are generating fake videos with AI and telling him they're real" sign.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Hey, Americans, pay attention, because ICE just shot a US citizen in the face and killed her in Minneapolis. www.kare11.com/ice-agents-i...

I sure am glad Google's Gemini is using, like, 14 gallons of water each time it gives me these insightful summaries.

I want to have a word with the couple dozen voters I met while canvassing in November of 2024 who told me they "couldn't" vote for Harris because they "have sons they don't want drafted." Hey, guess what? Your boys are going to die in Venezuela! And your daughters! So... Good luck, I guess.

"We should DEFINITELY open our Rose Bowl half time show with a marching band rendition of 'Fat-Bottom GIRLS!'" -The Alabama Band Director, apparently?

Y'all. This is it. This is our year. EAT YOUR LUCKY FOODS.

How old am I? I am "complaining to my friend about the tiny font size used in guitar pedal manuals" old.

Could not remember the name of a band while discussing them with my partner. "OH, you know, it's that band... Flim Flam and the Hipster Nightmare or whatever?" 5 internet bonus points to the person who can guess what band I was talking about.

Wow. Google Gemini continuing to absolutely kill it with these SUPER ACCURATE AI descriptions of what my Nest cameras see throughout the day.

Every day I get this stupid Google Gemini summary of whatever it THINKS it saw that day. Today: (the individual in question is a giant inflatable holiday penguin)

you there boy, what bullshit is this

Time for my favorite part of the Midwinter Holiday: the bit where White Christmas takes 7 minutes to dunk on modern dance.

My partner @francisfernandez.com and I have a glorious two+ weeks entirely off of work. We have declared this Feral Fortnight, in which we're basically doing whatever we feel like. Sleep in! Have a day drink! Hike at noon on a Tuesday! Play video games all night! Feral Fortnight! LIVE YOUR BLISS!

How does Gary Cole look so good in A Man on the Inside??? He looks about 5 minutes older than he did in Office Space and that was TWENTY SIX YEARS AGO.

Inside you there are two weasels. Sorry, we ran out of wolves.
