I guess they should stop prescribing Viagra too, then.

Devastating: “Rady, the region’s only hospital dedicated solely to serving children and adolescents, cited recent federal pressure to end gender-affirming care or potentially lose access to all federal Medicaid and Medicare reimbursement.” www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2026/01/20/r...

Look, there are two things killing bookstores, and neither one is ebooks. One is rent. The other is *waves hands vaguely* everything costing too damn much.

Who knew Maya Rudolph was in an early iteration of that dog as their dummer? I bet @rahnealexander.com does!

I’ve taken 2 flights this year (one to DC, one to HI), and neither were full in at least one direction). This is the first time in years I haven’t been on overbooked flight, especially to 2 high-traffic airports.

We’re watching Trump radicalizing an entire generation in real time

MAGA has been great for my self-esteem all around. Where I used to be hesitant to do things like electrical or plumbing repairs, I think to myself, "A bunch of guys who fell for Donald Trump could do this without hurting themselves, I can."

Hell is a comments page on a Facebook news article,

Kristi Noem calling the victim’s actions “domestic terrorism” is propaganda. Full stop. I served as a White House homeland security advisor. I know what that designation means & when it’s misused. A U.S. citizen is dead. She was a mom. This is what ICE impunity looks like. It cannot be normalized.

Close analysis of video footage shows Renee Nicole Good attempting to drive away from ICE agents before one of them shoots her. But that doesn’t fit Trump, Kristi Noem, and JD Vance’s narrative.

This, exactly. And there was no reason even to do that. They told her to move!!

When someone introduces themselves and you forget their name not a second later.

Me checking the news every 5 minutes to see that John harbaugh has been fired

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

Do not watch CBS "news." Seriously, don't watch. Let their ratings and their money TANK like it deserves. What was done to 60 minutes should have been the last straw for everyone.

“A lovely novel about love, grief, and connection” www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews...

It’s weird that some people get really mad when someone cheats the system for $100 but not $100,000.

I’m no Martha Stewart but I made these apple chips in the air fryer and there will be more of this domestic thingies in 2026 please clap.

We tried to watch a movie last night, but my partner kept pausing it to watch reels on IG. I’m not sure what this means about our brains and social media, but it cannot be good.

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.” What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.” Funny how that works.

Do you think our loved ones reincarnate as pets so they can spend more time with us?

Hoping to replace my beloved Kettle-cooked potato chips in 2026 with these dehydrated apples. What are my odds?

A Christmas gift to myself. Nice to find an original ‘85 pressing with the poster inside. An album that was so prominent during my teen years but one I didn’t fully appreciate until I was much, much older (and also when I finally visited Joshua Tree).

Being old is bring up for an hour and already peeing twice before you leave for the gym.

This has been the longest year of my life.

Merry Christmas! Michelle and I hope you have a wonderful holiday filled with light and joy.

The Cracker Barrel thing was THIS YEAR. We have three more years of this shit. Anybody who makes it to 2028 without looking like Nosferatu will be required by the state to start a skincare brand.

Maybe Democratic candidates should be hosting screenings of it.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

Uh, happy holidays to all, and to all a good night?

The U.S. is giving dying mall vibes. I can't explain it, but you know I'm right.

All I want for Christmas is the same thing you want for Christmas.

Interactions after when you’re north of 50: Me: I think you should have Priority Flat Rate boxes that are big enough to ship vinyl. Gen Z postal clerk: Are records your jam? Me: Yep. (Awkward silence for 2 minutes) Clerk: Can you fill out our customer service survey on the screen? Me: A+++++!

Why do all zombies limp but also run like cheetahs?

He's also responsible for raising all the money that paid for bringing Hollingsworth v. Perry & even more importantly Bostic v. Schaefer, which created the circuit split that forced SCOTUS to take on Obergefell v. Hodges. The role he played in American marriage equality cannot be overstated.

Being old means you’re no longer too cool to watch the remake of Freaky Friday. Spoiler: it’s super cute.

My mom never got into the Goggle or Facepage, as she called them.

This is Brenda and Linda. They were brought into the shelter together, and Brenda had no interest in being separated from her friend. She jumped the kennel wall to get to Linda, and made sure everyone knew they're a package deal. The best news? It worked: They were adopted together. 14/10 for both

We will continue watching Meerkat Manor and you will continue to keep your eyes.

Maybe if all musicians added a parenthetical “Trump Sucks” to all their song titles, the Trump administration wouldn’t use them without their permission anymore. 🤷‍♀️

Is today cheese day at Bluesky or does everyone just talk about cheese a lot?

I love a book I just finished reading so much I want to go live in its world rather than this one sometimes—and it’s a horror novel.

Here’s my Spotify Wrapped 🎵✨

Let’s make some buttons! (I mean, someone with a button maker. And send me one, pretty please.)

Remember, lady in Oklahoma who is skipping meals so her kids can eat, what you are experiencing is not hunger but a Democrat hoax.
