When the Tuesday feels like a Monday

If you see this, post an anime you love.

Blaming Fetterman’s and Dart’s politics on brain injury is a form of ableism that allows people to avoid the way their politics perfectly align with a hegemonic vision of white masculinity.

RIP Kenji Ohba. Just learned he died earlier this month. If you've ever seen the entire film Kill Bill you know this actor from the Okinawa sushi bar scene as bald guy.

SGA looked so sad.

I don’t want to talk about why one social media app is superior over the other; I want to talk about romance novels

Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...

You come to me, on the day of my son's wedding, which I am not attending

Just a reminder that earlier this month, the House passed a bipartisan bill that would make most charitable bail funds illegal.

Why do Americans call bell peppers green peppers? Bell peppers can be other colors such as yellow, orange, and red and other peppers can be green. I submit that we should call the bell peppers bell peppers for the sake clarity.

I once got a burger in Geneva that was called the American burger. Why was it called that? It was served on a bagel. Condiments shot out the hole like a burger quasar

I like how around the world people sell "American style" food and it's always something a kid came up with to prank their friends with "Yeah man, American style pizza, it has hot dogs and gummy worms and a handgun baked into the crust. They eat it in New York City dude"

I wrote about the reign of Stephen Colbert, a decent man pressed into service by indecent times.

Payphones are here to stay. We need to stop fearmongering about Payphones and start finding out ways that Payphones can be used ethically and to support our causes. Naysayers need to realize that this technology is inevitable.

One of the biggest gripes I got with the "just google it" crowd is b/c of this. The internet is awash in disinformation and misinformation and the last thing you want someone who is curious and ignorant of a subject matter doing is filling their cup on inaccuracies, outright lies and plain old BS.

KAT WON. FUCK ICE.

This shit is why we outside of Maine are begging Maine Democratic voters to vote for @andrealaflamme.bsky.social and not Mr. Nazi tattoo for the love of having elected representatives you can rely on. We don't want another one of these, one is too many as is.

Whew, one of the House Judiciary subcommittees is holding a hearing about court expansion today, and Rep. Hank Johnson (the subcommittee's highest ranking Democrat) delivered a sermon I just transcribed a paragraph that really resonated

Last time I checked creating a $1.776 billion slush fund for terrorists was very illegal for many reasons including laws prohibiting Material Support for terrorists such as giving them money.

The cops are in court suing the city for more money for their budget... let that sink in.

They way they vote GOP may as well be an acronym for Group Of Pedos.

this was HR 2616 which also bans books by or about trans and nonbinary people from schools START CALLING YOUR SENATORS NOW CIS FRIENDS TRANS KIDS NEED YOU

I also hate that it hides that every single state has a huge contingent that is basically “the south”. We live in a networked world that smoothed out a lot of regional uniqueness and that confederacy shit spread through conservative media to states that didn’t even exist in the war.

State prosecutors in Minnesota have filed criminal charges against an ICE officer who allegedly shot a Venezuelan immigrant in Minneapolis in January. Emilia González Avalos, executive director of the Minnesota social justice organization Unidos MN, says the charges are a victory for civil society.

Look, if we want prison abolition, finding the worst people in the fascist movement and shouting how they shouldn't be punished is, in fact, going to do the opposite.

I really don’t think this settlement maneuver is legal and a lot of the coverage seems to be willing to assume that it is

Mother Jones, I wrote yesterday the punishments this state has given for election tampering. A woman who forged her late-ex-husband’s ballot & son’s ballot got 3 years. A postal worker stole & forged 16 ballots got 5 years. Tina Peters tried to invalidate 90K votes. She got off LIGHT with 9 years.

"Kansas City went 17 years without a municipal jail." "FIFA will leave and the jail stays in our community." "That's not a World Cup investment for our City; that's a permanent expansion of incarceration disguised as event planning." #Missouri #USA #Incarceration #Sports

The Democrats believe in stability, continuity, and that any change must be modest and gradual and avoid needless disruption. They believe in that very deeply and sincerely. They believe in conservatism, in other words.

Alien: And how did you run out of water? Earthling: Machines drank it. Alien: Machines. Earthling: We had to feed machines the water. Aliens: So the machines were holding your planet hostage for water. Earthling: No, we made the thirsty machines. They worked for us. Alien: End communication.

Stay safe out there, storms coming.

LOOK AT MY PERFECT CAT, EVERYONE. That is all.

Hey y'all! Donna & I are navigating the $ situation, but the most upsetting part is that because she was secondary on her son's acct, he also lost everything. @courtneymilan.com has been peer pressuring us to drop his venmo & we got him set up with his own account. (venmo is @Chaotic_Pretzel !)

Great investigative effort. I do question the lack of any reference to bigotry, racism, or white supremacy though considering the person in charge of the murder spree, his documented hatred for BIPOC people from south of the border, and the targets of these strikes being the last group mentioned.

#WotSkies. I don’t think I have told you this lately but I love you all very much and I miss when we all spent more time together. 💚

Me: *eating a banana.* Virga: *intense sit and stare.* Me: *eating a banana.* Virga: small whine. Me: Wait, do you want some of this? *hands him a small piece* Virga: *vigorously gulps it down, intense stare continues*

Every time I'm in Georgia I eat a peach for peace. Eat A Peach.

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

As one aim of the right is reinstating racial apartheid, like Haley wrote of, it necessitates controlling history to bury knowledge of atrocities of apartheid to indoctrinate the populace to be less adverse and more open to apartheid going forward. Control the past to control the future.

writing about the queer and trans community was what made me want to be a journalist. i love all sorts of shit but this is like, what matters to me. i have made it my beat through sheer force of will and i wouldn't be able to do it without people who help me out.
