I am calling upon the people of Ireland to immediately begin construction of a thread on this site about how you or someone you know was roasted for a fashion choice. We need it. All roasts must have come from Irish people *only*. Please respect this important rule, it makes a difference. Tanks

NEW 🚨 @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social made time to catch up with @teenvogue.com in advance of Tuesday's elections 🗳️ we talked about the campaign's base of energized young people, and why politics isn't just about the ballot box — it's about "a sense of belonging in the city that you call home."

Don't forget that that's literally just equalizing the field: your employer uses the threat of financial loss to "encourage" you to work for them. It's only fair you could wield the threat of financial loss to "encourage" them to treat you and your colleagues fairly. That's it. That is all it is.

Buddy. We know.

A gem from @apzonerunner.com that I 100% agree with from my reviewer days: “a piece of advice I always give to younger critics when I'm editing or mentoring is that if I'm torn between two scores, I have never regretted going low on that wavering, but I have regretted going high multiple times”

Coming off of seeing the del Toro FRANKENSTEIN movie that is 200% drawing on his creative design, more of you should be aware of Bernie Wrightson’s artwork.

Public school teachers are already exhausted and running on fumes but I really really really hope they can still treat kids with a whole ton of grace especially next month especially considering how many kids (4,200,0000) are going to be even hungrier next month than usual without SNAP going out

“oh so you think the east wing being demolished is worse than-“ it’s a synecdoche, man. a visual metaphor. there’s a reason the aliens in Independence Day don’t aim a huge laser at SNAP benefits

So yeah you can vote for a racist creep or ya know… a cool guy who’s good at his job. Wonder who New Yorkers will pick

yes

we are not having a lot of luck with institutional pushback - everyone who does is fired and replaced we are definitely not having any luck with “norms” what we are having luck with is ordinary people looking at the incompetent bullshit put in front of them and going “absolutely not”

Why?

emotional labor is a thing that happens *at work*. i will be pedantic about this until the bitter end en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotion...

Taylor Swift should write and record more songs about The Simpsons seasons 2-9

i can't really be arsed to care about this entire brouhaha beyond noting that these people look like fucking amateurs in over their heads instead of professionals, and it's all entirely (and easily) avoided

The democrats are once again staring down one of the biggest layups in history and I’m really hoping they at least try to shoot the ball

Thirty days hath September April, June and November; All the rest have thirty-one, Except the Month of Absent Sun. ('Tis the month we dare not name; Be wary, lest it come again.)

Oh my god hahah you fools really let some stranger saying “what’s a good bideo bame” turn into a “discourse” hahahahhaa

I did not get through to Schumer’s office and left a message. But I did get a human being at Gillibrand’s office, so Dylan’s supposition applies there as well. New Yorkers, her office is at 212-688-6262.

Twin Peaks: Creamed Corn.

You simply cannot make me spend my time on this stuff. Oh the president said Tylenol causes autism? Well it doesn't. No I'm not going to pore through research papers to prove it to you. That's not what my time is for. My time is for playing videogames and gazing lovingly at my wife.

The cool thing about phones is they have something called voicemail. If someone important calls they can leave one to let the person know! I hope this helps you or someone else in your life who doesn’t know about voicemail!

Where’s my baby steps difficulty discourse huh?

we have to try

David Letterman is right: you can't appease a tyrant.

I am up doom scrolling and the mysterious yet distant sound of power tools in my bathroom continues randomly and at all hours. If I can solve just one great mystery in this life time let it be this one

people are all about "incel" now when they should be about "soft cell" and their 1981 hit 'tainted love'

This is the biggest attack on free speech since the McCarthy era but it also has significantly less popular consensus behind it than the second Red Scare. It's being done on behalf of a minority faction led by the most unpopular president in modern history. Organizing against this can win.

REMEMBER: ABC owner Nexstar is trying to buy another media org and can't under current FCC regulations. Why do you think they're kowtowing to Trump now?

if you read one thing today, make it this absolutely devastating piece from a fact-checker who quit the New Yorker bidoun.org/articles/hou...

There is an entire generation for whom the Halo theme song is our collective Winter Soldier activation sound. As soon as those violins kick in after the monk chants, it's time to lock tf in.

ive never seen anything like rhetoric coming from the right in the last week, this is absolutely insane and it needs to stop and people in power need to start speaking the fuck up like right the fuck now

Im reading V for Vendetta so I know how this ends

Here is some non-satire for you: Trans rights forever.

It’s interesting to think about the ways that the remnants of professionalism are furthering state goals. The WSJ trans ideology bullet engraving story is just a classic example of journalists getting manipulated by sources because they’re racing to beat other journalists. Classic in crime news

Will I get banned on Bluesky by calling for the death of amiibo?

I wrote about Charlie Kirk and what his murder and our reaction to it says about America right now. www.altrightdelete.news/p/half-mast

If Democrats want to make a show of caring about Charlie Kirk, put up a Charlie Kirk gun control bill to prevent the senseless killing of any more Charlie Kirks so the entire country can watch Republicans vote it into the dirt

Mad at the New York Times for the same reason as everyone else right now: The Wirecutter’s best peanut butter review ranked Teddy’s Organic and Jiff above Kirkland because they had difficulty “mixing the oil” despite the fact that Kirkland is very homogeneous out of the gate.

Ok but before he blocked me for talking shit about New Jersey he also said some really insane shit about how all British food is bad and I’ve never stopped thinking about it

Real job: Qboda burrito line assembly person for like $9/hr Summer before that I was an assistant at my local college’s music library. Don’t remember the pay but I basically just went in and organized sheet music for a few hours in the afternoon, listened to a few podcasts, and went home. Job rocked

Officially coming out against artists releasing albums as new “EPs” every other week as a way to milk more streams out of an album release

I love hearing my idiot robot vacuum bump into shit all over the place. I jeer at it

I WILL dress like a moogle and walk around midtown Manhattan if @unwinnable.com get to 100 new subscribers.

if you are a fan of Teen Vogue's coverage and particularly that we're willing to cover topics that are ignored or undermined—or even risky, because of censorship and scrutiny—in broader US media, sharing our coverage (and clicking the links) is a really key way to support us and our work

Maybe I’m just looking for a single review to address this with any degree of nuance, but I thought this was a good read

Also this.

Sorry for not tagging yall but i somehow deeply feel both these posts
