Local media is calling it: Katie Wilson will be the next mayor of Seattle. Wilson ousts Mayor Bruce Harrell after running as a progressive challenger. Her win is a west coast companion to Mamdani’s as a statement victory for the left.

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

literally if more than three people start yelling LOSER GET A REAL JOB at them in Chicago, they’ve been running away. the simplest forms of rest once are working the best in some cases. and honest to god if we have to do this why not at least inject some sort of THEATRICAL ABSURDITY into it??

The frog eggs were viable and now I have tadpoles in my house. 🐸

We brought frog eggs in to grow tadpoles in our aquarium but I don’t think they’re viable 🥺

rfk really just wants us all to die, huh

I can’t believe that was the last episode of last of us. Is it true we won’t get more until 2027?

Work requirements hurt poor people AND are a waste of money. Arkansas spent $26 million on administrative costs for work requirements — and saw no increase in employment. Georgia’s program cost $40 million in one year — 80% of that went to administrative and consulting costs.

Skylar Diggins, the woman you are. #wnba #seattlestorm

Your moment of calm at the Ape Caves today...

Want to show your opposition to the current state of things? Wearing a respirator mask in all public spaces is a clear indication that you do not adhere to the status quo and that you care about your health and that of others. A truly radical (and 100% nonviolent) action. Ticks all my boxes. ✔️😷✊️

If rolling out this choreographed “How to talk to your kids about why empty shelves are good, actually” campaign isn’t enough to convince you that they know what’s coming and how bad it’s going to be, I’m not sure what it will take.

How do they pick the teams for the first preseason game? #wnba

For no reason at all, here's the campfire story scene in MANHUNT where a character relates the tale of J. K. Rowling's grisly death in her fortified Scottish castle.

Pediatric dentists in places where we don’t put fluoride in the water can basically print money. I’m always amazed at how every kid in every chair has their teeth rotting out of their heads when I’m at the dentist with my kids. We live in a region that does not fluoridate the water, unfortunately.

I do not remember the White Lotus theories being so intense last season. Did I forget? Was it the Lorazepam?

Congrats to the fine people of the Badger state for handing Elon Musk his own ass on a platter

I don't think @shteyngart.bsky.social gets enough credit for predicting the venal idiocy of this particular timeline. In Super Sad True Love Story (2010) Americans get mistakenly deported to gulags by a super-glitchy AI otter who calls everyone "pa'dner". He saw it coming, down to the DOGE dog.

I have middle school boy twins and I have to tell you, no one can roast a cyber truck like middle school boys. The endless stream of taunts, analyses, and criticism is awe-inspiring.

One hell of an opening for this @tressiemcphd.bsky.social piece www.nytimes.com/2025/03/29/o...

This judgement is why I love the tournament of books. In the comparing and contrasting and mulling over, there is magic. Thank you Judge @emilyhughes.bsky.social

Jeffrey Goldberg thinking he was being pranked and then realizing he was actually just in the war plans group chat is such a good microcosm of how it feels to be alive right now, everything seems fake until you realize it’s actually real and incredibly stupid

I’m old enough to remember when Secretary Hegseth tried to publicly mock Judge Reyes—suggesting that she didn’t know what she was doing when it comes to protecting our national security. It was … two days ago.

And then I wondered … had Pete Hegseth really meant to text me the state secrets?

When I was in my early 20s, my friends and I were kicked off our parents insurance. our crappy jobs didn’t offer health insurance, so none of us had any health care at all. It was bleak to live in a community where none of us could access healthcare.

does anyone remember how pregnancy was a preexisting condition before the ACA? And insurance companies were allowed to charge 1.5x more for women’s insurance, as well as exclude coverage for Pap smears, birth control, and breastfeeding support?

Teen Vogue presents: Introducing Vivian Wilson @thevivllainous.bsky.social In her 2nd-ever interview, the 20-year-old tells @ellayurman.bsky.social about going viral, protecting trans youth, her “pathetic man-child” estranged dad Elon Musk, and more @teenvogue.com www.teenvogue.com/story/vivian...

you got two days left to back the kickstarter for The Immortal Choir Holds Every Voice! after that you'll have to... get books however you normally get books. I'd say "from a library" but we might need to have a revolution to make sure we still have libraries. www.kickstarter.com/projects/tan...

Good day to remind everyone there was no Famine in Ireland. Schools, as an instrument of imperialism, have characterised the genocide, transportation and emigration of Irish peoples as a natural disaster. There was food. Just not available to the Irish people. youtu.be/EZIB6MslCAo?...

My assigned sex at birth was a commodity that was bought and paid for. So when I was feminine as a child and then turned out to be transgender, I was going against the product that was sold.

As predicted, women in New Hampshire had a hard time voting yesterday because of the new proof of citizenship law: “It doesn’t have my married name on it,” she said. Town voting officials then sent her away a second time, to get her marriage certificate. www.nhpr.org/nh-news/2025...

Kids deserve clean air at school!

As a reader who waits for a series to end before I start it, I’m excited to finally start inCryptid!

This morning on a neighborhood walk, another neighbor told me how he lost his federal job this week. He told me about his family’s plans to survive, filing for unemployment, his hopes and fears for the future.

Jackie and Shadow are absolute icons.

I’m rewatching Buffy with my middle school children and I have different questions now than I did when I first watched it. Like, how do slayers handle maternity leave?

everyone has been asking us for a list of Republican town halls. Turns out, official orders went out to Republicans instructing them to hide from their constituents. But we're showing up anyway - check out our toolkit for the March recess 3/15-3/23 indivisible.org/muskorus

I love it when BG is having a good night. #unrivaled

Chelsea Gray and AT going at each other is so 🥵 #unrivaled

I was so proud of angel for making it thru the first half without any fouls but she’s making up for it now. #unrivaled

Angel’s block party! #unrivaled

Hulu giving up on the Oscar’s in the middle of best actress was peak Hulu.

No, this is the most ashamed you've felt as an American *so far*.

JD Vance is so staggeringly unqualified to be in this position. Just an absolute embarrassment. We are witnessing peak "I'm a white guy who read stuff on the internet so now I'm an expert on all things." Unreal.
