I will now spend the rest of the year spiraling. There aren’t enough anti-anxiety drugs to handle this.

My almost-7yo calls all people “guys” and then specifies if the person is “a girl.”

happy 9th anniversary to the day we watched Zendaya fall madly in love with Tom Holland in real-time

I’m not much of a gardener, so we planted a wildflower patch last spring. Seeing the butterflies and bees visit is balm for the soul, and the colors are such a joy. #FlowerReport

Some people say we don’t build beautiful things anymore and, like, lol. Motherfuckers, we built this:

I’d like to see the age ranges broken down with the other categories (45-64 women/men, education level, race). This particular white, college graduate woman does not fall into the R+3…at all.

I’m wondering who, precisely, is “dishing it out.”

@amyb8888.bsky.social I was watching this and wondered if “slinking away” is ever a possibility with a malignant narcissist. What’s your take/experience? youtu.be/0KG4J0Duzng

My anxiety is not good today.

I saw something amazing this morning and need @darthbluesky.bsky.social to see. youtu.be/xpNrn0_97LM

Who’s choosing the lineups, man? It’s a huge mystery.

This has unleashed doomer posturing ("LOL his supporters are still with him" etc). SO EFFING WHAT? His supporters don't decide who wins midterms. We should look at the Trump 2024 coalition, which IS turning on the war. Plus, some Trump voters are now voting for Dems: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/u...

Let’s start with offloading him.

JUST IN: Viktor Orban conceded his defeat in Hungary. The far-right leader & Trump ally will no longer be prime minister. What remains to be seen is the size of his defeat — and whether the opposition wins a supermajority to amend the constitution and reverse Orban’s rule.

This story is fantastic.

Hi. Hello. Thanks to everyone who has preordered Hollywood, Ending. I just heard from my publisher that many people are preordering the UNSIGNED EDITION. Maybe they are doing this to spare my shoulder or because my signature is literally worthless. But maybe they are doing it by accident!

Call me crazy, but maybe he could start by training them to.

In recovery from a simple outpatient surgery. After letting family know I’m ok, I came to see if It happened yet.

Double checked to see if Liverpool FC played the day Brendan Rodgers was fired. No reason. (They did; 1-1 draw with Everton.)

I’m not saying Donald Trump is the devil… But promising that “Hell will reign” might not be a typo.

A little glimmer of hope.

“Perhaps you shouldn’t talk every day.” My kingdom for that reality.

In case you were wondering who the bad guys are on the issue of passing new, temporary congressional maps in Virginia... www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

No shit, genius. You should act like that ALL the time.

Spoiler alert: Slot will not use him in his best role. He will continue with the lethargic play he’s been coaching.

OPINION: (RNS) — Christian nationalists' preferred framing of American politics as 'secular left vs. Christian' is false.

of course, if race science freaks had something useful to contribute they wouldn't need race science to validate their feelings of superiority

EXCLUSIVE: Trump Admin Confirms 91 Wrongful Deportations of Asylum Seekers talkingpointsmemo.com/news/exclusi...

The citizen portal went down for maintenance, and then when I next checked, all was well. Whew!

The look on my lawyer husband’s face when he read this…

I’ve voted in every Virginia state (and many/most local) election for as long as I can remember. I just checked on the Virginia portal, and it can’t find my registration. Off to the Registrar I go this week. Gah. #virginiaspecialelection #virginia #voting

The framing here is entirely wrong—he has a different moral frame, one that places no value on the lives of people who don’t look or worship as he does. It’s fine to kill or torture as many of Those People ad you have to. That is a “moral purpose.” It’s just a monstrous one.

Borderline Personality Trump and the Uses of Press Myopia talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/borde...

So no DHS funding, no more war money. Don’t threaten me with a good time

All the polls on the U.S. war in Iran so far www.gelliottmorris.com/p/polls-us-i... If you ignore people who say they “don’t know” how they feel about the war, disapproval of Trump’s actions is already at 56%. That is higher than the resistance to Vietnam in 1971.

It would be neat if our president and his supporters were as upset about the deaths of US service members as they were about the death of Charlie Kirk

I’m always learning new things from Mr. Benjamin Dreyer.

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

(The reason this does not show up in Georgette Heyer's books is because Heyer was a horrific racist, classist, and antisemite. And however seminal her work was to the Regency, we have to work to undo the lies her work has spread.)

The number of expletives that spontaneously formed

Amazing

May I recommend that you read a riveting novel if you need a break from *gestures broadly*? I’m having some tea, cheese & crackers, and the new Alice Feeney as my little treat. I’ve already ploughed through 17 chapters today. #readabook #levarsaidso
