This still doesn’t really explain exactly what is happening — raising further questions about the repeated use of “Trump administration” and “administration,” as opposed to “paid to the federal government.” www.wsj.com/tech/tiktok-...

This might be the thing that finally breaks me

I for one am glad to hear that Queen’s is woke.

wtaf is his brain fluid gin

16. Tuna mayo onigiri 17. The moment you slip into a bath that's *almost* too hot 18. Ginger Beer

10. Tempura battered anything 11. Getting a wave from a neighbor who's out gardening 12. Making someone snort or choke on their drink from an unexpected laugh

This site needs a break. Post 3 good things, none of which are the cessation of a negative. 1. Roast potatoes 2. The tippy tappy that a dog does when they're excited and surprised 3. A song that was your jam in middle or high school coming on the radio in the grocery store

This site needs a break. Post 3 good things, none of which are the cessation of a negative. 1. The silence after it snows 2. Warm, spicy broth 3. Laughing so hard it hurts

It's totally fine that the asset limits for SSI haven't been increased since 1984

you will also never meet someone who hates disabled people more than the disabled people at the social security office. love going there so much fun 😞

pls just please just raise the income eligibility for benefits, raise the asset limit, auto enrollment, increase snap and add a cash benefit to it as well i want to be taxed 😭

Too on the nose

This site needs a break. Post 3 good things, none of which are the cessation of a negative. 1. Cats when they mrrrp and prrrrrt 2. Pretty snow days 3. Crows

sorry basically the problem of my life is that i internalized and believed a lot of stuff people said about valuing children and loving your neighbor and living in a society at the exact moment that everyone in power decided all of that shit was fake and gay and not a way to make a living

*coming out of a social interaction* Me: I gotta be less weird. I've been fostering the weird for too long

And as bad as I feel for the children of committed anti-vaxxers, we also have the health and safety of their classmates to consider.

bending over backwards to treat bad actors as good faith people who can be won over with reason is the story of like the last 50 years

The public health field has bent over backwards to assuage the ‘concerns’ of anti-vaxxers for almost 3 decades now. It’s not working. The way forward is stigmatizing these child-killing freaks and mandating that every kid gets a jab. Expand access, sure but that’s not going to move the needle.

It’s true that vaccine access could be improved but these challenges haven’t significantly worsened over the last 10 years. Vaccine hesitancy has. The problem is misinformation and public health researchers pretending otherwise is not helping.

Really hoping we can get Hailey out of debt soon and help her to get back to work. Hailey is doing incredible work on transness, feminism and liberation, and her mom's cancer has derailed her a lot. I'd be super grateful if you could spare a few bucks. <3

Felt cute today, might delete later. 💅 #OmArt #art

i am once again reiterating that the needle is a conservative truscum publication who has repeatedly published what might be charitably described as “sloppy clickbait”.

yes yes we've all seen the proposals to dig a canal around the strait, to transport the barrels by land, to turn invisible and sneak through. but have you considered: Cargo Zeppelins

I GET KNOCKED DOWN I DONT GET UP AGAIN I REALLY LIKE IT ON THE GROUND I STAY KNOCKED DOWN I DONT GET UP AGAIN ITS REALLY COMFY ON THE GROUND

My mom got out of the hospital after being stuck under debris for 2 hours when a roof collapsed in the building she was in. If y’all could donate to my venmo I’d really appreciate it so I can help her pay her bills.

As Ursula K LeGuin said "To oppose something is to maintain it...To oppose vulgarity is inevitably to be vulgar. You must go somewhere else; you must have another goal; then you walk in a different road.

Georgetown owes its existence to the enslaved it sold. www.wwltv.com/article/news...

I'm not one of these "Israel's about to lose the WHOLE thing right now" people, I try not to do copium But this is genuinely such a bizarre and disastrous strategic choice by Israel what's the endpoint especially after spending the last two years cementing yourself as an international pariah state

“I am feeling much better now. Toad,” said Frog. “I do not think I need a story anymore.” “Then you get out of bed and let me get into it,” said Toad, “because now I feel terrible.”

I don't think it's sad that Garak is a very good tailor at all, actually

The narcissistic inability to realize that other countries, like other people, also have agency. Not surprising, given that everything Trump does stems from totally out of control narcissism.

A similar type system falsely identified a child in Baltimore who had a bag of Doritos as having a weapon...leading to them being handcuffed by police who were pointing guns at them. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Perhaps time to mention Manitoba Métis Federation invested in an AI startup that claims to be able to identify weapons in surveillance video. How many other Indigenous governments are getting caught up in AI startups that have potential to falsely indict folks? nationtalk.ca/story/manito...

If any science journalists are looking for a relevant story and want to chat, the loss of early career scientists from biology and other STEM fields right now is really concerning. I have talked to so many young biologists trying to get into PhDs programs, get postdocs (me), or get a faculty postion

Rep. Eric Swalwell said the Trump administration is refusing to brief Congress, leaving state leaders without any info about what the FBI “actually knows” about potential threats to California.

Trump is interfering in this fall's Brazilian presidential election against Lula. He's sent a top envoy w/ white nationalist ties to visit Bolsonaro in jail & is labeling some Brazilian groups as "terrorists" paydayreport.com/trump-interf...

people commenting that katherine heigl’s career is over since being at a fundraiser for dogs in mar-a-lago, and im like I think that ship already sailed. she used to be in every movie, but now all she does is incontinence underwear commercials?

sabe o que uma medida merda dessa causa? mais culpabilização da vítima. ué, mas ela não tinha spray de pimenta? E se tinha, pq não usou? ela não sabia krav magá? pq não bateu, pq não correu, pq não gritou?

caralho eu não quero poder andar com spray de pimenta, eu não quero ter aulas de defesa pessoal, eu não quero aumento de pena pra feminicídio, eu quero SER TRATADA COMO UM SER HUMANO DIGNO DA PRÓPRIA EXISTÊNCIA

BREAKING: Iran introduces into the theater its most powerful weapon.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

there's a really good article from Mohammed El-Kurd about the overpolicing of Palestinian speech and i feel like you see its inverse every time someone goes "sure someone JUST tried to murder jewish pre-schoolers but what's MOST important rn is that we quibble over what qualifies as antisemitism"

This is easy because trying to shoot up a synagogue isn’t criticizing Israel, and no normal person would bring that up right now.

You really don't need to say this in response to a politician expressing sympathy for a synagogue that was attacked today.
