Guy with visible stink lines: the birth rate,

cis people have fallen for the bullshit that we're made of glass when, if they spent even just a week in our shoes, they'd realize it requires titanium fucking skin to suffer the indignities, both large and small, that we regularly face with infinite grace i'm in awe of our strength ✨

A little bit of Monica in my life, a little bit of Erica by my side, a little bit of Rita's all I need, a little bit of Tina's what I see, a little bit of Sandra in the sun, a little bit of Mary all night long

Exclusive: Last year, she was demonized for grading a poorly written psychology paper. Now, Mel Curth is speaking out about being targeted by Christian conservatives and to correct misinformation she believes the University of Oklahoma allowed to spread. www.advocate.com/news/people/...

good morning

I think I should be writing the She-Hulk MIDNIGHT book. It would fuck up your head, my friends.

Serious question re: Kickstarter, what exactly is the difference between “spicy literature” and “pornography or explicitly sexual content”? Are we banning adult art for failing to be twee enough now?

They're the same picture 😏

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

Car-dependent sprawl is sold to us as inevitable, and quintessentially American. In reality, corporations benefiting from highway sprawl use their money and political influence to maintain the status quo and block alternatives.

look at these babies

yes. change the statute on which this decision turned and redistrict according to the legitimacy conferred by the people of the state

The first guy to say My Goal Is To Drown The GOP In A Bathtub will be the next FDR

One lesson to take from this abysmal moment is that no victory is permanent and politics never ends. The right knew it, and the left can no longer ignore it. But that also means that the horrors now being unleashed on the country can be undone. By @paulwaldman.bsky.social in @atrupar.com’s PN:

I should be working, and yet...

it took me too long to realize that this was "horseshit" censored and not new slang i didn't know about yet where "horses" meant bad

Ahh, yes, the unpopular decisions like “black people don’t deserve political representation,” or “rich people should be able to control everything,” or “women shouldn’t be in charge of their bodies.” Truly a man committed to justice.

If you work hard... all day... whatever the job, you should be able to live well. Not just scrape by. That should be normal.

I get a lot of AI slop book marketing emails, but this is the first time I have ever been . . . mistaken for Jane Austen.

I was saying something the other day about the family you support when you watch Wrestlemania...

Texas, which had a $24b surplus in the most recent legislative session, no serious program to tackle the traffic choking its cities is, and where lawmakers have focused most of their efforts on finding inventive new ways to starve local governments…

I forget the exact post, but one of the truest sentiments I've seen about comics is that your first issue shouldn't be Year One or Watchmen or The Dark Phoenix Saga, it should be the eighth installment in a long-forgotten crossover event called like The Mindwar Canticle

I have had my computer desk next to my TV since I first got my own apartment out of college and this is written for me

For @aftermath.site, I have lived for more than a decade with a whole ass PC hanging out in my living room. The Steam Controller is for me specifically. aftermath.site/steam-contro...

Admitting you really like a bad movie and calling it "coming out of the criterion closet"

My read is that multiculturalism was dragged through the mud as it was the easiest scapegoat for the failures of neoliberalism which it correlated with historically

It’s bizarre to me that “we’ll tell teenagers not to have sex” is an official position in tons of places but “we’ll tell eight-year-olds to write their own paragraphs” is like oh no, you can’t do that, deal with reality, get with the program.

It’s just remarkable how rare it is for these appeals to say, “This will be good. This will help. Things will be better.” Is it supposed to help? Or is it an unavoidable threat? Because you can advocate for preparing students for threats, but I feel like that calls for different rhetoric.

Cocaine is reshaping industries and our economy, and it’s crucial that young people and our workforce are equipped to succeed in this landscape. Proud to introduce a bipartisan bill with Sen. Rounds to ensure students and educators have the resources they need to harness the power of cocaine.

The local charity shop suddenly has a shelf full of batmen and spidermen and jokers and about 15 framed pictures of Carrie Fisher. Pour one out for the guy who either died or got a girlfriend.

The 1-Hour City is really profitable for the Road Lobby, but it means more bad things for all of us. #1HourCityConspiracy And it’s just a lot more time stuck in car traffic we’re forced to be a part of. Sound like freedom? #UrbanTruth

Hey @quigley.house.gov, what the fuck were you thinking? You are proactively calling for Trump's removal from office and you're still willing to give him the keys to all our data? Sure doesn't make sense to me.

Being literate in AI and being a customer of consumer gen AI are two entirely different things and there are a lot of people urging everyone to become customers and calling it becoming literate.

This is not an exaggeration. Alex Jones is allegedly bankrupt but has an infinite well of dark money to pay lawyers, sell pills, and harangue judges and the parents of dead kids. This stay must be lifted so we can take over, and I hope journalists look into where he's getting and stowing his money.

What happened at the Supreme Court is about anti-Blackness and curtailing Black political power. Trump as a corrective to Obama. Anti CRT/ DEI as a corrective to Black Lives Matter and Black progress in education and the workforce. Anti-Blackness is America’s favorite manner of self-harm.

Absolutely incredible

One of the greatest headlines ever made

you just can't be the party of Donald Trump, Stephen Miller, and Pete Hegseth and get away with this weepy nonsense. first cast out the beam out of thine own eye bitch

Carl Wilson's PAC, by disparaging DSA is essentially announcing to West Siders that he has no respect for Mayor Mamdani and will not work to support his agenda. If you are in District 3, please vote tomorrow, Rank @lindseyboylan.bsky.social #1 and do not rank Carl Wilson AT ALL!

So here's the thing: if you want people to participate in democracy, you have to believe that you're voting for tangible outcomes. A Democrat party that won't hold anyone accountable and promises no outcome leads to nihilism.

"I'm really looking forward to playing this short TTRPG about elite snipers." "One shot?" "Yes, ideally."

Reminds us of this @theonion.com banger.
