Somewhere out there someone who’s the best at what they do is terrified that they have imposter syndrome while a bunch of barely literate pedophiles are very calmly running the world

Elizabeth Taylor (so glamorous cabaret version) is a spell. 🧙‍♀️

I truly love how casually she discusses arranging the mashup that left me dead in a ditch.

The Red (TV) lyric videos are so good.

Congratulations to WFP champion @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social on her swearing-in after weeks of stalling by Speaker Mike Johnson. Not only will families in Southern Arizona finally have representation in Congress, Americans are getting a fighter who's ready to hit the ground running.

hell yeah, LFG.

Still looking to speak with SNAP recipients! 🚨

This espn/YouTube tv shit has officially gone too far. These greedy fucking bastards have all lost their ever loving minds with these fees and apps and negotiations. Get wrecked.

Are you an Arizona resident who is covered by health insurance offered on the Affordable Care Act marketplace? I'd like to talk to you for a story I'm working on. Please reach out at [email protected]

If you’ve been looking for an alternative to funding establishment Dems who are cowards at the end of the day, please look into WFP. This grassroots party has done a significant amount of work over the years to elect progressives and make real change.

Thank you, @gallego.senate.gov !

Holy blast from the past! Can confirm, this album SLAPS. My dad used to listen to this on repeat, full volume, sitting in the dark, if you wondered where I got my dramatic autistic music listening styles from.

again I ask, what is the upside of this technology

Love that my rep @repyassansari.bsky.social STAYS WITH HER FOOT ON THEIR NECKS.

If comfort is a construct, I don’t believe in good luck, now that I know what’s what 🤝 Seems to be that you and me, we make our own luck. A bad sign is all good; I ain't gotta knock on wood

Reposting because, and I say this with love, some of you are going to see this and go “oh shit, I need to check my bottle” and then immediately forget about it so if this could affect you, go check right now before you even scroll to the next post, I mean it.

Coworker said I was giving “90s The Craft vibes today, “ and good because that was the point.

the lesson is clear: to save democracy, we as a nation must become fruitier

The lesson here is have good principles and stand on them. Stand for something that isn't power!

Nothing says “Democratic Leader” quite like “I will not tell you who I voted for in a general election.”

These people are such fucking losers.

BTFD, baby. ❤️💙

Letting 42 million Americans go without food this weekend—half of whom are children—is WRONG and a CHOICE. The funds are there, but the White House is trying to leverage hungry kids for a political agenda. Mr. President, American lives are not a political game, and we are not here to play.

IT guy had to fix my audio drivers, and to confirm that the problem was fixed, he Rick Rolled me.

Secretary Rollins’ claim that the Trump Administration is unable to deliver November SNAP benefits during a shutdown is unequivocally false. The Administration is legally required to use contingency reserves to fund benefits for the 1 in 8 Americans who need SNAP to afford their grocery bill.

The people: what if phones were cheaper The tech industry: we prefer our newest invention, fake racist videos that will make it easier for them to starve you to death

Clearly trans women do these things but there is something so bleak about defining womanhood as only service to others

Robots don’t need bathroom breaks or healthcare and the bald man needs another yacht.

These replay assist rules sound made up

Imagine thinking Jordan Love isn’t a great quarterback. Couldn’t be me!

LFG! (I also want more Kraft points)

If you are looking for some (free!) scary movies to stream, Kanopy has got some INCREDIBLE options. Like, all the classics and then some. Any movie on the “top ten scariest” lists that you can’t always find. All you need is a library card to create an account, and most cities let you register online

Might be the most vacuous person of the last decade. An empty vessel for lobbyist cash.

After being overstimulated at the office all week I was very excited for a WFH Friday. Too bad it coincides with my neighbor getting a new roof. 🫠

This part comes on and I’m instantly transformed into an influencer who’s dramatically 👏 👏 👏 while dramatically speaking each line.

Hey guys I was really high last night and got a very strong premonition that the rep vault tracks are imminent. No math, no lyrical connections, just vibes.

Pitching mass deportation and ethnic cleansing as male bonding, all tinged with mythic nostalgia.

Let’s be blunt: this is taxation without representation. That’s why, today, alongside Congresswoman-elect Grijalva, we sued the House of Representatives. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Dictionary, I don’t need this energy today.

Scream 2 is massively slept on.

"sir a second Nazi groupchat infodump has hit Politico"

The Visual Metaphor Brigade sure are working overtime right now.

Being friends with me IRL includes the joys of me listening to your voice note but not able to record back at that moment and then getting distracted, and then as I go to voice note you to ask you if you think Jo*quin Ph*enix ever k*lled somebody, I realize I hadn’t answered so you get both.

I hate gay Halloween parties What do you mean, you’re a “Taylor swift concept piece, the man/the mirrorball and all the pieces of you shattered as the crowd was chanting more and you bled blurple?”

I tried to time rewatching Hell House LLC during the daytime before I get ready for a Halloween party and it’s gonna be tight here at the finish and why did I think this was a good idea?

one thing about "big" right wing accounts joining over here is that it quickly becomes apparent they have no idea how to function online without a built in army of incel followers they can sic on people to harass
