wow really helpful, thank you new york times

If you peaked in high school and drink alone in your recliner every night while watching Fox News because you have nothing to contribute to society and everyone you love has left your sorry ass after realizing you have zero humanity or redeemable qualities, hey, could could always join ICE.

I try to move my body in a way that makes me feel joyful for 20 minutes a day on top of my normal walks with my dog. Today I realized I’ve always wanted to dance like the girl in the Groove Is In The Heart video, so that’s exactly what I did. MORE JOY AND WHIMSY IN OUR LIVES PLEASE.

If you’re feeling a deep rage inside of you that kind of scares you but also feels like power, I can’t recommend Florence and the Machine’s “Everybody Scream” enough. The whole album.

Little things about being alive that are rad: When the sky looks like cotton candy and that first, refreshing breath of crisp air hits your lungs.

this is a real setback for podcasters who want to grow up to run the FBI some day

Pet parrots which typically live alone (whilst those in the wild live in large flocks) were given the technology to call each other. They would use it for up to three hours a day, and developed favourite friends 💔 on.ft.com/3K05vhS

This is why they usually give shooters three names! “Lee Harvey Oswald” isn’t what his friends called him, it’s what the authorities released to avoid other Lee Oswalds getting mistaken. It’s weird they didn’t do it in this case.

Keep picturing Patel dropping the casings in terror after reading “if you read this youre gay”

i hate how I can’t tell if the news is real or not anymore. everything is so stupid it all sounds like jokes

Kirk didn't serve in the military or hold office. The war hero treatment -- half-mast flags, military guard, Air Force Two escort, calls for a statue at the Capitol or to lie in the Rotunda -- shows that for MAGA, service to Trump has become the highest, most honorable form of service.

Super weird that the guy who was Practicing Politics The Right Way somehow magically seems to have a following so racist against Black people that him getting shot by a white person in the whitest state in USA results in 7 Black universities receiving terror threats. What's this got to do with us?!

Finnish-style baby boxes with clothes, supplies, formula, jarred food, etc., for the first couple years of life; tricycle at 5yo; bike at 8yo; choice of hobby gear (various instruments, art supplies, etc.) plus vouchers for year of lessons at 10, 13, 15, 18.

It’s almost like letting young white men marinate their brains in an algorithm-driven toxic stew of nihilistic hate 24/7 and giving them ready access to guns is a bad idea

man they really didn't give a shit about that guy. as soon as it was clear they couldn't use his death to launch a purge they started to treat it like a nothingburger

i refuse to join a cult where they lionize Horrible Guys™️ i will only join a cult where we can make pee-pee jokes and draw dicks on all the mirrors and eat french toast hot dogs every other saturday

Weird how this is always go to Jupiter or live in the center of the earth but not “everyone has a good union job and healthcare”, like that’s the thing that is believing in unicorns

It's Friday night baby

Telling myself “this is mildly inconvenient right now but you’re going to fucking HATE waking up to it in the morning” is a surprisingly effective way to make myself clean up the kitchen before bed.

Y’all like my new hat?

You are under no obligation to mourn the death of people who would’ve celebrated yours.

Part of what keeps America so violent is the insistence that people perform care, empty goodness and absolution for white men who espouse hatred and violence.

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life. The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

We don’t even know who fucking did it.

i’m not going to be lectured about political violence by people whose politics is violence

The absence of mourning is not equal to the presence of celebration, and it’s strange how many people have conflated the two over the last day.

A lot of people currently calling for civility saw Kirk's violence as harmless because they weren't the primary target. The fact that being lower on the list is seen as safety is wild to me.

It’s gonna be so weird watching establishment dems be performatively sadder about this than they were about the colleague and her husband and dog who got shot and killed

Yep, and right before he was shot he blamed trans people for mass shootings and then in response to a question about the total number of mass shootings goes "counting or not counting gang violence?" The crack lands like a punctuation mark

My mom always told me to keep my mouth shut if I had nothing nice to say, but she’s not on BlueSky, so fuck that bobble-headed racist piece of shit.

Guns make weak, dumb people feel strong and smart, and leads them to fantasize about being applauded for killing someone.

so many of the small indignities of daily life come from us being denied the ability to tell a rich man in a tech company to fuck off. minesweeper has microtransactions. paid services have ads. the opt out says maybe later. the drive thru is a broken chatbot. your car is an ipad. fuck off! fuck off!

<me sowing> “Hahaha yes! This rules!” <me reaping> “what the fuck- <gets shot>

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

Welp.

I know I’m tired because I just asked the dog “do you think that was kind?” like I might ask a child who’s being a dick.

Q: but what if a full Epstein investigation also takes down Bill Clinton????? A:

I hope to live my life in a way that 3 different women don't combine together to perform a song with the lyrics "The end of you is the start of life for me"

I recently bought huckleberries at the farmers market and the vendor closed our conversation with a solemn "huck it up" and I hope I never forget that moment

I will be talking only about AJ Lee for at least the next three to five business days.

I don't even want "precedented" times, to get back to the status quo or brunch or whatever, I just don't want it to be "indescribable" or "am I having a stroke" along with "deep mortal fear"

What do you think Trump is getting us for 9/11 this year

I need people to stop saying "you're so strong" and start saying "here's a thousand dollars now go take a nap"

my TKD school asked me to join leadership. Which means I get to help train lower belt ranks and stuff. Someone tell 10 year old me that her fat ass is a fucking martial arts instructor. 🤩

Happy Silksong day to those who celebrate
