No matter what you eat for the holidays, please never: - comment on how much someone is eating - comment on how little someone is eating - comment on someone eating This can be a major trigger for people with eating disorders. Plus it’s none of your business. Thanks!

The EPA will approve two new pesticides containing “forever chemicals” and relax a reporting rule for companies who make products with forever chemicals. The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the forever chemical industry. Where is the MAHA outcry?

Founders on LinkedIn still seem to be struggling with the difference between telling people about their humble beginnings and admitting to straight up committing fraud.

Hegseth would be the perfect main character for a force fem novel

Ok but why do rich people see taxes as a punishment and not like a privilege of being able to help build a society and the less fortunate?

I really don’t get arguments like “schools are designed girls and female brain” - putting aside if such a thing even exists, this is just factually wrong? Historically, the school system along with most everything else in this country was clearly designed primarily for boys and men usually by men?

Honestly I cannot BELIEVE the scarecrow face was makeup in wicked. Like even if what’s in the movie is cg, the on set photos are insane

Wild for WDI to release a video about living characters the day after defunctland

This part. Teachers are so undervalued and underpaid and loudly told both "you're essential" and also "you suck and if you say a word out of line, you might get fired and/or be targeted for harassment by the most powerful people in the country"

Doubly important since the most effective anti-trans bigotry aims to muddy the conversation past any shared consensus.

Honestly I love that wicked is two parts. Many of my favorite movies the 1st half is the best part and I love now there’s a full 2 hour movie that’s just the exposition Petition to do this for Jurassic park and back to the future.

So wicked is pretty much the best movie adaptation of a musical ever? By like a lot? Like even with a few choices I don’t like it is so far ahead

Couple stage shows I’ve seen recently and I’ve gotta say I’m so glad the era of theatrical minimalism finally seems on the downswing and there’s been a huge embrace of elaborate sets and spectacular visuals. Like don’t get me wrong minimalism has its place and can be lovely but I love being wowed

the medical disinformation surrounding 'gender affirming' care is not different from the medical disinformation surrounding vaccinations. these ppl think they're informed.

Anytime it rains machinery directly above my bedroom starts making incessant racket for like a week afterwards and have no idea what the hell it is. Love being a renter

I love musical theatre but really dislike when shows just feel very cliche or more into the profoundness of the subject matter and being “an important show” than the actual text. Or do that thing a lot of modern shows do where they just abandon the rhyme scheme or meter willy nilly all the time.

This shit is so depressing. Let trans youth have what they need and let families and doctors decide what is best for them. These are freaking live saving medications.

Only a few more work days till wicked for good

When’s the last time the senate was unanimous on anything?

I generally have a sneaking suspicion that the average person is doing a lot more going out in the world in their not at work time, but honestly haven’t the foggiest idea of what it could possibly be that they’re doing or how they end up with so many events or people to do it with.

12 years of having a cat, today is the first time she inserted her tail into my ear and boy is that a weird sensation

I’m still trying to figure out the refrigerator illusion from the company revival

I’m still trying to figure out the refrigerator illusion from the company revival

Sometimes, when I wake up in the morning, my cat is still asleep on top of my stomach, and I do believe that it is one of the loveliest experiences in this life.

What if I just abandoned my job and started up a butterbeer knockoff company that supported trans rights.

The deliberate misreading of the actual campaign Kamala Harris ran in 2024 means we don't actually learn the real lessons we need from that disaster of an election.

On so many of these issues - do we think people have no clue what it means to research something and become an expert or do we think they just don’t like what the experts say?

I know the days of theme parks as art of their own and not museums of popular franchise movies are over or at least gone for decades but sigh

No more big city mayors who hate big cities.

Especially if I could bring all my friends with me

I feel like no one in charge of big brands understands anything about brand value

So my general take is that if the dems want to win more elections they have to do things that are going to actually excite people. Personally I don’t think trying to be more conservative and middle of the road and compromising is going to excite anyone - even people who want dems to be that way

It cannot be remembered enough that these were the same people who got worked up about drag brunches

I do not understand how people are shocked Trump is a creep. He’s like the most stereotypical creep slimeball you could imagine.

Proof of a certain number of years in therapy should be required to run for office, probably also for leadership roles in companies of a certain size - also therapy should also be free for everyone along with the rest of healthcare.

Also there really shouldn’t be such a thing as prison - at least not in any way that anyone today in the US would recognize.

All companies should be non-profit (or only allowed to invest profit back in the company) and largely worker owned and run in an internally democratic way.

It feels like the modern conservative platform is something like “I personally should never be even slightly inconvenienced, shouldn’t have to look at things I don’t like, and I wish everyone else has a really bad day, especially worse than mine”

Watch this end up being the reason politicians finally take the need for protected bike lanes seriously

“Females with male levels of testosterone”. 🥸 What about young people with old levels of age?

Why’s it so much easier to exercise when you have someone telling you exactly what to do every second and expecting you to be there

"Cis women having male levels of testosterone" is another big giveaway about what this is. What is a "male" level of testosterone and how can a cis female have it naturally occurring in their cis female body if its specific to men? Is there a male level of height?

The worst possible outcome of someone who transitions by mistake (and only 1% at max do) is they end up with gender dysphoria. Gender dysphoria is treatable with the same tools everyone is trying to ban because people might make a mistake. The logic does not logic.

We with real life experience know that we know from a young age. These kids know who and what they are, so I say: BELIEVE THEM. The gatekeepers would rather sacrifice dozens of Trans Kids for the sake of one regretter. That shows where their priorities lie and who they value more...

Clinton was the only president to balance the budget. Bush left office in a near depression & Obama fixed the economy & passed the ACA. With a slim House majority & a 50-50 Senate, Biden got more legislation passed through reconciliation & with bipartisan support than any Congress in years. 2️⃣/3️⃣

I simply refuse to accept that police ever have to look like this. this is just pure cosplay. it should be illegal for cops to be dressed like soldiers going to war.

Maybe all transit and zoning bills just need to be called “make life more like Disneyland” bills

Ok but why are so many people so vehemently against good things? Like the amount of anger that turns out at community meetings discussing objectively good projects with absurd complaints not even rooted in reality.
