I did a shitty craft and I'm super pleased with it. Took the back cover of a calendar with the little preview pictures of the inside, cut them up, glued them to some regular matchboxes, made them cute matchboxes. Scissors, glue, black marker. Bosh.

Listen. Yes. And also. For the last year we've been watching them put citizens on no-fly lists for exercising the right to free speech so it's weird everyone's acting brand new when corporations are getting treated exactly the same way.

Jack Dorsey renamed the company to Block because he thought blockchains would be the future, in case you were wondering what his track record of predicting long-term tech trends is

If Trump throwing a tantrum turns out to be what pops the AI bubble I will die laughing.

Any response other than an immediate "fuck you, make me" is an indication your institution is already ok with fascism, and is now just haggling over the price.

Penny has kennel cough and dog coughing is so awful to listen to, she sounds like she's retching something the size of a hamster out of her lungs. My poor baby.

It's... nuts that the AI company is the good guy in this

I am trying to houseclean because we have guests coming this weekend. And I am also trying to not overdo it because I tend to get focused and go too far and be a cranky overstimulated bitch for the rest of the day and exhausted tomorrow. But my god how much dusting can there BE.

“Two officers were treated for minor injuries, including a bruised eye and headache” A headache is an injury. Apparently my previous employer was assaulting me every time a meeting ran long. 🫠

We literally know now that anti-trans legislation was pushed by a pedophile ring to allow a pedophile ring to serve a pedophile ring’s interests, and legislators have decided the best course of action is to keep doing what the pedophile ring wants.

stop calling us nazis just because we are invalidating IDs and rounding people up based on their skin color and putting them in concentration camps and sending them off to foreign gulags and using all that nazi imagery and banning books and dont forget about all the pedophilia. so just stop alright

nixon trashes the white house, carter turns the page reagan/bush trash the white house, clinton turns the page bush ii trashes the white house, obama turns the page trump trashes the white house, biden turns the page over and fucking over

Every article like this is so infuriating. None of these fuckwits can think more than one step ahead in their grand business plans and yet they get paid more than anyone else on earth to be this fucking stupid about how a business functions.

Kat Abughazaleh: "Democrats are still operating as if the only levers of power are legislation and votes and conversations behind closed doors. We need to talk seriously about general strikes about breaking quorum about exploiting parliamentary procedure."

I am so tired. I got out of the shower and hacked off like six inches of my (very long, been over two years since my last cut) hair, and I cannot tell you how much better I feel now that it's merely armpit-length. It was getting so hard to manage.

So SSDI sent me to get a lower back X-ray even though my list of qualifying conditions are all mental, not physical. X-ray tech: So what's wrong with your back today? Me: Not a thing, my guy. Him: 🤨 Me: 🫠 Us:

CNN follows NPR and Politico in finding that DOJ scrubbed the Epstein files of evidence related to a woman who accused Trump of sexually assaulting her when she was 13 years old.

How disappointing. Well. Tomorrow's another day.

I'm logging off until after the SOTU to keep my blood pressure down but if he kicks it on national television I expect all of you to scream so loud with joy that I know immediately what has happened and am roused from my lair to come into the light and rejoice. Okay? Okay.

He will steal, sir, an egg out of a cloister. For rapes and ravishments he parallels Nessus. He professes not keeping of oaths; in breaking ’em he is stronger than Hercules. He will lie, sir, with such volubility, that you would think truth were a fool.

Clarence Thomas is celebrating Black History Month his way: by becoming the first black judge to rule that they don’t have to deliver the mail to you if you’re Black

Sole witness to Texas ICE killing of an American citizen also died this weekend. #JoshuaOrta #RubenRayMartinez #ICE

Just noting that on this chart, a "heroic" man is an average woman. Most women will intervene if they see another woman getting harassed or assaulted in public. It's considered "heroic" if a man does it because the bar is on the fucking floor.

In Minnesota, despite showing documents proving active immigration cases, pending visas, or even US citizenship, residents were arrested and detained by ICE for days or weeks. But many who were later set free are now encountering a new challenge: ICE isn’t giving back their immigration documents.

Former ICE agent: My first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a warrant. I watched ICE cut classes that teach our legal system, firearms training, use of force, lawful arrests, and the limits of officers' authority

Had an exciting moment where I thought a five-figure 401k rollover to my IRA had not been deposited. All is well but sheesh, surely there's a better way to do this than by mailing me a check bigger than my annual household income and having ME mail it on hoping like hell it doesn't get lost.

Relevant to AI writing, Toni Morrison, Octavia E. Butler, and Sonia Sanchez noted that many want to be writers but don’t wanna write. As Morrison said, “Writing has become almost a celebrity thing in the sense that people don’t want to write; they want to be authors. And that’s quite different.”

I just want to live in a country where the leader can’t enrich themselves with our tax dollars, the government does what the people want, and the wealthy have to follow the laws. You know, like a democracy.

This...this is brilliant and we must start training the Corvid Liberation Airforce

I am amazed at how easy and quick and cheap it is to make tom kha gai at home? It took me 7 different restaurants to find one that makes it well here in Portland and it's $16 for a large. I can fill up four containers with one I made for less than that in ingredients and it fucking SLAPS.

The three journalists who helped ruin Ava Cordero's life when she tried to stop Epstein in 2006 *currently* work at NBC News, New York Magazine, and News Corp Australia. The one at NBC News is covering... Epstein.

It's grimly comic that SCOTUS told Trump he's essentially an unaccountable dictator if he's willing to exert that authority in virtually any area and now he's (kind of understandably) confused about why it doesn't apply to tariffs

Honestly this messaging is great. We don't have to actually GET the refund for voters to understand that we should and who's responsible for the fact that we won't.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) said consumers, not big corporations, should get refunds.

"We owe conspiracy theorists a huge apology" No we fucking don't. They were talking about a secret conspiracy of gay trans Jewish lizard people. The Epstein files uncovered a conspiracy of rich, straight, white, right-wing Christian men, which these motherfuckers never even considered.

I wonder how many of our current problems would be solved if we simply made it illegal for any serving government official to own stocks. The ones who run for profit would stop running, no? In which case we'd get actual civil servants who believe in quaint things like "the Constitution" and "duty."

i think there is a decent chance he actually thinks this i also think there is a decent chance that he actually thinks asylum seekers were people from "insane asylums" i also think there is a decent change he wants greenland because it is big on map

Who is the fucking person who asked if the Supreme Court justices were still “invited” to “your” State of the Union. What the fuck? WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT QUESTION?? THE COUNTRY IS NOT ONE GIANT FUCKING COCKTAIL PARTY!!!

As the world reels from the president's rant and threats of additional tariff chaos, I'd just like to remind the UK that they recently arrested someone who could probably bring down this entire house of cards with very little incentive.

This court appears to be impartial, siding with Just Your Average Guy Trying His Best 50% of the time and with Jeffrey Dahmer Visibly Covered In Blood 45% of the time

The NY Times dutifully reporting that the Supreme Court sided with Trump only 42% of the time and with Biden 54% of the time sort of leaves out the necessary context that Biden was doing normal, completely legal presidential stuff, and Trump was doing insane crimes

first they came for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, and I said nothing, but i did laugh quite a lot

Also a rapist. Never hurts to mention that. I know we've got a lot of them in power right now but to be fair we've got a lot of dullards and shitty writers, too.

When I return to DC next week, I will view the Epstein files at the Department of Justice. To maximize my time and ability to seek justice for survivors, I’m asking for your help: If there is information you believe is in the files, let me know at Dexter.House.Gov/Epstein.

I see people dismissing this as an obvious Trump lie but um. Is it actually so far-fetched? Tell me more, Donnie. Who's taking money from what country and how treasonous is it? I'm positively rapt.

What will it take for media to openly acknowledge that the president of the United States is batshit insane I mean a criminal also, and all the rest, but this man is fully going round the outside and it is getting more difficult to wallpaper over or ignore with each passing hour

I feel this is beyond the current DOJ but surely the counterargument for the claim that the government cost the companies money with tariffs is that the company must then prove it lost money because of tariffs. Which. Because they raised prices on us instead. They did not. So like.
