one problem with learning is it will make you so angry at how stupid everything is

MAGA celebrities are so funny to me. Like, okay, you can have them?

Feeling deeply sad for all the journalists who will now spend the holidays pouring over the Epstein files for more evidence of what everyone already knows

It costs about $8 less to fill my gas tank lately, which really helps offset the $100 increase in my weekly grocery bill. I’m glad we abandoned green energy and started a war with Venezuela for this.

the feminine urge to eat hot chip and lie

If you are trans or gender non-conforming in whatever way, I want you to know I see you and your well-being matters. You are valid and you are worthy of medical care, investment, safety and love. It’s really painful to hear powerful people spew unchecked hate but they do not speak for all of us.

hi what was your favorite book you read this year, please?

you will be visited by three spirits

accidentally hit em with the Kevin James

I read that whole “it sucks to be a millennial white man thanks to DEI” piece and have some thoughts. Overall: how sad to put that much work into making a case to be resentful, and a bad case at that. (Thread)

Is this a government psyop to trick consumers into believing it’s financially plausible to consume five dozen eggs a day in the Trump economy

Jesus Christ of course we’re giving Gaston apologists a platform now

I read the entire article and what makes me really furious about this is that he doesn’t mention what’s happened to the “DEI hires.” He writes about new media lacking opportunity for white males as if he and his white peers are the only people in media whose careers aren’t taking off as expected.

2026 is going to be my year lol lmao

Wait a man and his wife were murdered in their home and Trump is suggesting it was a revenge kill for criticizing him? I really… how… what the… but after Ch— you know what just forget it

I can’t recommend Means Morning News with @samsacks.bsky.social on @means.tv enough! As summative news programs go, their contextual clarity and accurate coverage of this administration’s chaos is unrivaled. If you’re sick of sifting through layers of bullshit in mainstream coverage, give it a try.

bro a gallon of organic milk is $10 at Walmart what the hell is going on

One thing I’m sure of deep in my bones is that men should not be making women. Men should not be designing women and men shouldn’t be storing women anywhere.

After my boyfriend got the Christmas tree out of the garage rafters I made him set it up in a grove of trees so we could “choose it” and mime sawing it down before bringing it inside.

me when there’s a fly in the house

being unemployed would actually be so cool if not for the constant fear of imminent doom

Unfortunately if you bring your boyfriend candy as a special surprise treat and he doesn’t even touch it within three days, you’re allowed — nay, obligated — to eat it. Sorry, I don’t make the rules!

say what you will about this administration, you gotta respect their commitment to just saying stuff

I feel like it is very hard to function on a daily basis if you think too hard about how many things in the US are completely falling apart and/or actively being destroyed right now, which is one upside to being recently laid off

Thanksgiving Day is about celebrating that she made it out of the pants

being very poor at the holidays as radical resistance. sure send me more emails throw away more targeted ad dollars on me you stupid corporations I’m not buying shit

I am seeing so many AI photos for sale on tshirts and canvas and notebooks and every time it makes me violently ill everything looks like shit please stop

trump asking zohran about universal free childcare

Eric and Don Jr. better dress warm this Thanksgiving it’s going to be chilly in Zohran’s shadow

Trump being a total prince to Mamdani is so disorienting. He was just yelling “quiet piggy” at a reporter and calling to execute members of Congress who said the military doesn’t have to obey illegal commands. His ability to be rational and likable with the flip of a switch is wild.

Ah, the hopeful joy of wearing a new shirt, and the quiet fear that it changes nothing

Every media outlet has some version of the headline “Delayed September Jobs Report Shows Better Than Expected Growth,” and so far I can’t find a single article that mentions Trump’s firing of the Bureau of Labor Statistics Commissioner in August for releasing data he didn’t like.

slut shaming is kind of like bamboo

Okay either: A) MJT was visited early by the Scrooge ghosts (they are picking up overtime this year) B) she is AI and underwent a really good update C) George Soros outbid Peter Thiel to become her sponsor D) she is a sociopathic opportunist fully committing to whatever bit benefits her most

To be clear, I’m in favor of releasing the Epstein files and holding every single corrupt government official accountable. But the fact that so many people actually believe Trump blew Clinton does not bode well for how more information will be handled.

profit doesn’t trickle down, but you know what does? worker’s rights

What I’m interested in is what happens when we finally see the photo of Trump on Epstein’s island with topless girls or some money transfer with a “TY for help w/Russia collusion 😊” memo. What is this boot licking trash Congress or fully corrupt DOJ or Trump-appointed Supreme Court going to do?

how does Instagram manage to make me feel like I’m one scroll away from seeing the meme that will prepare me to fully live

lowkey respect instagram’s willingness to commit to features no one wants or likes. not one single person wants to hear music attached to memes. yet everyone knows that adding music increases engagement. why are tech companies so determined to make everything suck

I feel like kickboxing fell out of fashion as an exercise trend and it’s too bad bc I enjoyed imagining I’d get into it one day

The issue with the Democratic Party (and American capitalism) — that everyone needs to recognize right now — is that they could fight for healthcare when children were going to go hungry, but drew the line when flight delays interfered with profit.

on one hand I think Trump would have willingly increased the pain of all Americans out of spite had the democrats not caved, on the other hand, Trump had one of his worst weeks in office last week and it would have been interesting to see how the court ruling to fund SNAP played out

the tough on crime President

personally, I would not drink from the roundup fountain

Until the end of the government shutdown, our campaign will be donating $2,500 a month to a food pantry in the Ninth District. And to my fellow candidates, I challenge you to do the same:
