i just know we're all going to have to sit through a three minute clip of joe rogan saying "i can't believe censorship is happening"

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

why is everyone buying a media outlet right now: billionaire with secret lair vibes and total disdain for journalism and why is no one selling to like: millionaire with normal view on the importance of skull size and a deep love of solid reporting

Battle doomscrolling by posting 5 small pleasures in life: 1. The sound of a carbonated beverage being opened 2. A cat using you as a bed 3. Being the first (or last) person awake in your house 4. Sharing a book, show or film with someone else you know will like it 5. Not having to wear shoes

*watching innocent people rapidly acquire the cursed knowledge that has driven me to madness* oh no

great thread to understand that no, the killer wasn't trans or a leftist, and also no, they didn't have "incoherent" beliefs or politics. This was yet another instance of right-wing-on-right-wing violence between two groups that couldn't agree on things like how antisemitic to be 🙄
