So it turns out the quote was about the Clone Wars cartoon, but I stand by it nonetheless. And here's proof of my bag.

As someone who happily carries a purse/mini backpack featuring the Ewoks cartoon show, I wholeheartedly agree with this statement.

So, @edzitron.com ate his Wheatties this morning

Introduce yourself with 10 artists you've seen live. (I went by order of whom I've seen the most.) Weezer (5) MIKA (4) The Violent Femmes (3) Oingo Boingo (2) Prince (2) Sting (2) Duran Duran (2) Sarah McLachlan (2) 30 S3conds to Mars* (2) Robbie Williams Radiohead

Stuff like this is why when I hear people say "...so I asked chatGPT what to do..." I immediately write them off as lamebrains. I don't care how nice you are, how smart you seemed before, if you rely on a chat bot to get you through your day, I will judge you and think less of you. Sorry not sorry.

I'm starting to understand how my mom spent the entirety of the Vietnam War with the TV & radio off so she wouldn't have to hear the news. It's cowardice to pretend nothings happening, but there's comfort in ignorance. I just can't do it. I'm way to empathetic to ignore ~everything.~

Again, please share. In every aspect of American history you will run smack dab into the critical contributions of Black people. It’s not Black history. It’s American history. Trying to erase it is a fool’s errand. We live it every day. time.com/5836444/blac...

This is not being talked about enough. Our country is slowly and methodically ruining life for the people of Cuba. We will end up killing them. This country is evil.

Mr Rogers was a modern-day saint and if I were a politician I'd push for his birthday to be a national holiday where we perform acts of kindness.

A family friend's mom passed away and she needs help covering the cost of a modest funeral. If you can, please consider donating. gofund.me/775d6fe2c

"In Gaza today, resistance does not always appear in the form of protests or slogans. Sometimes it is quieter." "A student reviewing notes by the light of a phone. A group of students sharing a fragile internet connection to submit an assignment." #Gaza #Palestine #Israel #Education #Genocide

This isnt taught to most Americans. Without understanding this, you can't understand what's happening today.

At no time in US history have white people been the target of oppression or discrimination

Robert Smalls Day should be a holiday.

Toad sat on the edge of his bed. “Blah,” said Toad. “I feel down in the dumps.” “Why?” asked Frog. “I am thinking about tomorrow,” said Toad.

"The oligarchs want a permanent ruling class. The extremists want a permanent underclass to grind a boot into. The deal between them is straightforward enough: the oligarchs get captured courts and permanent tax cuts, the extremists get their hierarchy of human worth written back into the law"

Fuck ICE

as an xennial who was old enough to babysit a very broad range of y'all, I'm really sorry to break it to you that it's that goddamn BARNEY song

I've said it before and I'll say it again. ICE is a state-sponsored terrorist organization. May they all burn.

This is bold faced nazi shit

This Mother's Day, please don't forget the moms whose families are suffering in Palestine. gofund.me/b7bb6a8e2

Whaaaaaat!

Honestly, this rollicking circus of sh*t is insane. The Trump/Saudi Arabia well was eventually going to be poisoned, they’re all snakes. And F*CK Trump, MBS and especially Jared Kushner who got two billion in blood money for letting Jamal Kashoggi’s murder go unpunished. F them all.

Illinois has the chance to do something no state has ever done before—hold gun manufacturers responsible when their weapons are used to kill innocent people. This is paradigm shifting. Here's how you can help pass this critical piece of legislation, and make this a national movement.

May 3rd is the birthday of Hind Rajab. She would be 8-years-old. She called for help. She loved pretending to play doctor. She was kind. She should still be alive ❤️‍🩹 Happy birthday, Hind 🎈 We remember you. Thinking of your mom, may all of the kindness and beautiful memories of you seek her heart 💛

Without saying your age, post your favorite film that released the year you turned 18.

A film you've watched more than six times with a GIF. Hard mode: no STAR TREK, STAR WARS, LOTR, DC, Marvel, Disney, Pixar, Spielberg, Cameron, Wachowskis, or Ghibli:

"It raises the floor." That just says it all. It makes it so people aren't living in the dirt.

This may be controversial, but you can’t make me care about an incredibly well protected person not actually getting shot when that same person is uninterested in doing anything about innocent children actually getting shot in their schools.

This is the part that pisses me off the most. People will create memes and videos using this stuff with no thought to the people who have to suffer for it. We don't have to use these things but because they're not directly affected they don't care.

I don't believe a thing coming from this administration, especially not this. The SPLC calls out hate groups, which is ... the current administration, yes? They've been gunning for the SPLC for a while now. Mark my words, the ACLU will be next.

Thank goodness!

Why did my son wake up at 4 am? Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?

If you feel like the fight against AI is a losing battle — DON’T! We have defeated $82 BILLION worth of data center projects all across the country. We are winning. From sea to shining sea, Craig!

YALL. There is a charitable organization in Chicago that donates books to women’s prisons. My boyfriend introduced me to it!!! Yall support!! This is AMAZING. Women’s prisons do NOT get anywhere near the donations men’s do. That’s why my own organization exists. LINK HERE: www.cbwp.org

Today is my 18th anniversary with my husband. Crazy how fast time passes. I made brown sugar bacon this morning & he's doing pancakes. Last night we went out to dinner and my sisters-in-law watched the kids for us. It's a nice way to celebrate.

I love baby tapers so much.

Honestly, I'd love this.

I suspect the Pope sounds "woke" to many Christian conservatives because the US is steeped in prosperity theology, where the point of worship is to deliver health and wealth to believers. Thus, "feed the hungry" and "show mercy for the poor" sounds needlessly political and "woke."

ActBlue donors can request refunds if they donated to Swalwell’s campaign. Pass it on.

I swear I will vote for any person who runs on revenge and court reform. That’s it. Those are the two planks of your campaign? You got my vote

I cheer the defeat of Orban as much as anyone, perhaps more than most. But let's not forget that Magyar is also a white nationalist. Just, ya know, less of one.

People have been shocked that an AI company is offering chats with an AI Jesus for $1.99/minute but it's important to remember and respect the fact that a core part of American evangelicalism is being financially defrauded by people who claim to speak for god

Here’s the story of one of them. Awful www.thestranger.com/forced-out/f...

As an Illinois resident, I say hell no. "OpenAI is throwing its support behind an Illinois state bill that would shield AI labs from liability in cases where AI models are used to cause serious societal harms."

Happy Rex Manning Day to all who celebrate!

The same geniuses who think Trump, who dodged the draft five times, knows how to win a war also think Trump, who declared bankruptcy six times, knows how to run the economy. That's what Trump Derangement Syndrome actually looks like.

I approve of this petition.
