I don’t know if it’s a deliberate strategy, but it sure seems like certain major employers are more interested in waging psychological warfare on their workforce as payback for the soupçon of leverage labor exercised in 2020-23 than they are in actual cost savings

every online game storefront is terrible in its own way and right now i'm fascinated with the playstation store one. the one when you go to the website, not from your console. screenshots? video? fuck you. we have a text summary but it's buried under everything else at the bottom. buy it or don't.

Thinking of you all in Jamaica.❤️

Spotted a tater tot leaving the Fort Greene dog costume competition

Nothin else for it

In my opinion, scapegoats are at the root of many of society's problems

💔 My son is crying in pain 💔 He injured his hand and is suffering badly. I have nothing to buy his medicine or food. Please help me save him — we need €400 to provide his treatment and basic needs. 🤲 Donate through the GoFundMe link, every euro can make a difference 🙏 gofund.me/ef391201

I honestly didn't read a whole lot further than that, but the gist seems to be that right wing men are increasingly whiny little bitches and Star Trek should be as how those Nazis would like it to be.

Damn.

Love to see Chappell Roan using her power for good. www.thepinknews.com/2025/10/24/c...

the thing about fighting misinformation is that you will be doing it forever and it's not personal but the instagram girlie posting hrt misinfo reels who ignored my feedback while also admitting that she doesn't know anything posting a new video obliquely targeting me is making my fucking eye twitch

no this is true, children's hospitals were invented in 2018 by John Puberty Blocker

it’s funny how the attacks levied last night against zohran mamdani by andrew cuomo more accurately describe stephen miller — totally inexperienced, deeply ideological, surrounded by antisemites, speaks like he’s talking exclusively to the internet, will bring about a policy nightmare, etc.

I am TIRED of the racism, the Islamophobia, the transphobia, the antisemitism, all the fucking Nazi shit, all the bigotry in all its forms. All of it is unacceptable. All blessings on Mamdani for shining a light on this. No more, in any corner of our politics.

This is incredibly deep and I am tearing up. Andrew Cuomo and Eric Adams are the worst of us. Mamdani is one of the best. When you vote in this election, whatever your faith, you are making a moral decision that will reflect on your character and your soul forever.

There is no journalistic task more imperative than getting eyes inside this process. The kind of thing historians wait for archives of dictatorships to open, when figuring out how the REAL nightmare begin. newrepublic.com/post/202199/...

On Threads, the usual suspects are telling ppl about to lose SNAP benefits to just start a garden. As a gardener, I had to laugh. You need at LEAST an acre of land to feed a family of 4. Start-up costs are enormous. But yes, subsistence farming on the balcony of your rental apartment is the answer

I love that his father's middle name was "Christ", and that he looks like you asked an AI to make Donald Trump look more like an evil pedophile lol.

Andrew Cuomo and everyone on his political team are virulent gutter racists. This is disgusting trash. Eternal shame.

people keep saying Platner is "contrite" and WHERE. I haven't seen it. They're just assuming he is because of COURSE you apologize for having a NAZI TATTOO but he actually hasn't done anything of the sort! He's continuing to brush it off as a funny story.

I don’t want to be overly precious about it, because many people in many non-desk jobs work close together in large spaces. But there is something just miserably bleak about this room.

Cuomo has went all in on the anti Arab and anti Muslim rhetoric and decided to laugh along to a "Mamdani would support 9/11" joke.

Congrats workers on your new hell zone

it’s that and wanting to be praised it’s not enough that they have enough money to buy a skyscraper stacked on top of another skyscraper, they demand to be told that they’re very special brilliant boys for having that money by everyone in politics and media

someone use these to record ICE. fastest way to get this shit shut down

I think the ballroom story is gonna mushroom into a much much much much bigger thing. I see the visceral reaction people have towards the videos.

@tanukisrevenge.bsky.social some tanuki for your day, this shrine is one of the few that have tanuki at the gate. It's on the river near Akihabara station. The shrine is actually for a mother of someone who rose to importance, so the tanuki by the shrine itself in the third image are all pregnant.

The end of my first, early run of journalism came when they wanted me to a pr piece, which would have run as a sponsored article. I couldn't do it. Felt gross. Went off to tend bar and translate books. Nowadays, those pieces are presented as "here is an article".

Americans don't give a shit if their government murders and abuses people. There's lots of people, they're easily replaced. But if you hurt a house? Especially a white one? How dare you do that to property. To an item. To an estate of the real variety

what’s telling about this is the “DC is obsessed” bit a lot of stuff doesn’t stick because the “insider savvy” crowd decides it’s not interesting anymore so off the front page it goes the White House demolition is going to have a longer shelf life because they’re just as obsessed with it as we are

We've reached the social media algorithm event horizon where everything is quickly becoming indistinguishable from a shitpost.

I'm going to have to give a partial payment for my car again. I can't keep doing this and keep my car. I'm really trying

this is the telling thing about all the billionaire hysteria they would literally rather set more money on fire propping up the most uncharismatic sex pest who ever lived than they’d pay in additional taxes these are not serious people

I'm not sure about this branding but I'm not the billionaire business genius

JUST FUCKING SAY IT'S A GENOCIDE QUIT DANCING AROUND IT

AND WHO THE FUCK IS "WE" HERE

We really need to stop trying to teach the median American voter new words. "Kleptocracy," "Stochastic terrorism," all $6 words that people bounce right off of. Go for the jugular: this is what theft looks like. He is stealing your money and building a gold palace where the White House used to be.

I know some things about Andrew Cuomo that were told to me VERY off the record, but suffice it to say he's somehow even scummier than you can imagine

Pete Buttigieg endorses aid restrictions to Israel, Seth Moulton is running away from AIPAC at full speed, Mallory McMorrow says it's a genocide, meanwhile Cory Booker says that asking if Netanyahu is a war criminal is unfair. What the hell is happening? I take a stab at it in the piece below.

you are proof that love is real

i have great news, if you want to share your life with other people you can do it through this thing called being with friends. AND it's free

being discrete is intrinsic to the design of wearables. a little LED light was never going to protect anyone's privacy anyway, spy-fantasy integration is the whole point

Fictional villains: my motivation involves a complex backstory around lost love and a deep yearning to be understood Real life villains: being cruel makes me feel like a big strong man

MPD officers are being coached by their union to ask if they're allowed to lie with impunity to the city auditor. youtu.be/B-5jst6c6PM?...

Nancy Reagan hovering over Trump’s bed would actually be on point for Nancy Reagan though. I mean, I doubt she had any scruples over whom she throat-goated.

Thread of trans women who'll be in trouble soon due to SNAP suspension.

Look, I think most liberal democratic systems are functionally equivalent, but in Australia and other Westminster states, the set of events which leads to a government shutdown in the US instead triggers a general election, and it'd be nice if the US had that, too

Denice is good peeps with a lot on her (lovely) shoulders. Please consider throwing a few dollars her way. Thank you!

me: as god is my witness- god (on witness stand): she did it. it was fucked up dude. she killed that guy so dead i got scared and i was watching from heaven

Now is a really good time to donate to food banks, and do food runs for mutual aid groups. Also, do menstrual product runs.
