"We are the storm." Stephen Miller out here Q-pilling during Charlie Kirk's memorial service.

man he’s still got it

Me reading literally any news story rn

IN THAT CASE*, CAN WE HAVE OUR VACCINES BACK NOW (*There is no real evidence that Tylenol has anything to do with autism risk but whatever)

I wonder why this admin would want to stop people from looking for predators online?

What do Simone Biles and one of the worst dates I’ve ever been on have in common? Absolutely nothing, except I mention both in this post. askasoberlady.substack.com/p/how-do-i-a...

Don't miss this brutally important essay from Ta-Nehisi Coates. "By ignoring the rhetoric and actions of the Turning Point USA founder, pundits and politicians are sanitizing his legacy."

This is antithetical to everything journalism is supposed to be: human, nuanced, well researched, properly contextualized, and transparent. What a fucking embarrassment

ICE just killed an immigrant at a traffic stop outside Chicago while simultaneously tear gassing protesters ALL IN ONE DAY and the entire timeline is still massive accounts talking about the Kirk shooting and Pritzker scaring Trump off Literally what the fuck is wrong with all of you

Just thinking about how the right made up an entirely fictional left wing character that resulted in so many bomb threats and the like and nobody will face consequences. But people on the left who accurately clocked the victim’s life work lost jobs.

pretty wild that it so quickly became normalized that immigrants don’t have even basic free speech rights www.axios.com/2025/09/11/c...

if you can’t meditate, like deer, or just want to see a video of a deer chasing a stray cat, i have the post for you askasoberlady.substack.com/p/i-cant-med...

The professor has been fired and senior administrators removed from their post. No mention of this in the New York Times, The Free Press, The Atlantic or other outlets who drove the campus speech moral panic.

i wrote about AA, influencer culture, and other things that will probably make people on the internet yell at me slate.com/technology/2...

I’ve been informed that this cursed image is triggering to some — alas, I gotta do it! Did you date on EARLY Tinder, aka 2012-2015? I’m writing a history of online dating and looking for people who’d be willing to talk about their experiences. You can be anonymous! Bonus if you were still in college

Me, a resident of Washington state who did not buy a ticket: coulda been me

I truly hate to hand it to a Krassenstein, but these are tough times.

You know cops get a bad rap but sometimes their instincts are so incisive

Thank you @governorferguson.bsky.social and the West (Best) Coast coalition!

This just in!! Advocates for patient safety and whistleblowers suggesting Lykos wasn’t reporting adverse events are vindicated! The real reasons for FDA rejection of Lykos MDMA? Failure to report, selection bias, and poor methods to assess long term effects of MDMA.

Idc how many studies there are about the benefits or how many people swear by it, you will never ever sell me on cold plunges

Shockingly it’s not just a one page letter that says “mean lefty @psymposia.bsky.social made us do it” maps.org/wp-content/u...

Personally, I think the term “functional alcoholic” is an oxymoron, but in general, we worry too much about labels askasoberlady.substack.com/p/am-i-a-fun...

oh God. I mean ofc but God

So I’m supposed to look my students in the eye this semester and tell them that hard work, diligence, even adherence to basic journalistic principles is the right way in this field

I am aware that many people in prison would prefer to go outside and work for a nickel an hour instead of rotting in a box all day but that doesn’t mean the working for a nickel should be applauded it means the rotting in a box should be eliminated.

You guys see where this is going? Right?

Labor Day weekend at Bernie’s

I bet he’s so many colors and textures right now

Them: “Cities are all rotting hellscapes!” Cities:

A k-12 librarian is (rightfully) suing a moms for liberty nut over defamatory and abusive behavior. This is the MFL mom’s lawyer. 😂

I’m perpetually annoyed that I didn’t know about Naltrexone before I quit drinking because it seems like such a helpful drug. I’ve always wondered what it’s like to take it. So, I interviewed my friend, who has been on it for three weeks. Here’s what he said

imagine being so maniacally racist that you side with the fire over the firefighter

the FUCK

If 16 year old me knew that as an adult, I’d get my thrills sitting on the porch on summer evenings watching the deer lazily roam around my yard she’d be so disappointed in me. That kid was an idiot. This rules.

"The top story of the moment is the one story that our most influential newsrooms won’t touch: That the United State has become an authoritarian state." — Dan Froomkin @froomkin.bsky.social presswatchers.org/2025/08/we-h...

So basically what we have is blind imitation of emotional phrasing, because engagement, and the toxic positivity of "customer is always right". The user is wanting to kill themselves? – "Well, that sure sounds like a fantastic idea!! Let me check the ways I can be of assistance"

Jesus...

It’s weird to be grieving the death of my dog while the world crumbles bc one is this tiny, personal heartbreak and the other is existential, large scale horror, but they don’t feel as different as you might expect

Hard to put into words how bad things are getting

Today’s Executive Order creating a *nationwide* military “quick reaction force” and setting up an online portal to permit random fascist vigilantes to join soldiers is one of the scariest things I’ve seen in U.S. politics in my adult life. Why is it not getting more attention?

Maybe we shouldn’t let someone who doesn’t believe in germs and who thinks it’s okay to eat roadkill and swim in contaminated ponds be in charge of our national food safety.

What a goddamn loser

look at how faggy that leg cross is

are we sure we want the tell-you-to-kill-yourself machine teaching children

the exact center of fascism is the point equal distance between 14 year olds are too old for redemption and 25 year olds are too young to transition

Speeding home to a pet who is no longer there. "This is the cruelest part, this tumbleweed of grief rolling through a ghost town, forgetting for a fraction of a second and then remembering over and over again."
