I’ve now aged out of this but navigating the pestering attention of older men in my field—which varied from manipulative flattery when they were trying to sleep with you to contemptuous retaliation when they realized they couldn’t—was an exhausting and demoralizing tax of my early professional life.

aaaand I just heard a TikTok song about Trump blowing Bubba, so I think that’s enough internet today.

He is exactly who we knew he was. 🤮

black girls can't ever just be. if it isn't church, a fear of being labeled fast, it's school rules. then it's trying to look professional. no wonder you see 50 year olds with blue hair. the girls don't get to do shit. hell, michelle obama JUST started wearing braids.

Pulling out the fleece-lined tights and switching to the winter shower routine, thinking it’s like 10:00 pm just because it’s dark out. Welcome to cozy season!

I hope Leo makes all the tradcaths cry every day

You should ask anyone giving this advice if they’re worried about their own name appearing in the files, or if they’re just tryin to to protect their friends (or clients).

One time, when I was 8, watching Grease at a friends house with her whole family. When a condom was mentioned, my friend asked “what’s that?” and I confidently piped up “oh, it’s like an apartment but you own it” very proud of my vocabulary.

we really have to do something about gambling but the problem is the guys who own the gambling sites have money to burn on politicians

“This can’t continue” yes it can “This can’t get worse” yes it can “This can’t be fixed” yes it can

Sad to hear, what a tremendous force for justice. Rest in power.

Good evidence of this is that there were substantial variations in how long schools were closed in different places, and there’s no correlation between learning loss and the length of online instruction.

Both Biden and Obama/Hillary electorally ate shit trying to use real economic data to tell people the economy was doing fine actually. So it’s really funny to see Trump try the same strategy, but using fake economic data. Is the theory that it’ll work this time because it’s based on lies?

You gotta wonder, at least a little bit, how much of the opposition to social safety nets is based on wanting a steady supply of desperate women and girls with nowhere to turn to for help except sugar daddy websites and skeezy “modeling” contracts

1. "Barely legal" ick 2. 15-year-olds are not, by definition, "legal," "barely" or not!

You just know that “Did Women Ruin the Workplace?” bit would have done NUMBERS in this little clique

A little too on the nose that their corporate motto used to be “don’t be evil” but then they changed it

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Something the US needs to accept too is that without a large-scale correction imposing consequences on a large number of people, the crisis of governance here will continue indefinitely

the biggest lesson from the emails today is that powerful people are so unafraid of consequences for crimes as bad as “raping children” that they will just talk about it openly in emails the only path to a better society is one where that is no longer true

It’s so funny that he’s talking shit about ibuprofen, and praising MAHA for having a sensible skepticism about drugs—only supporting those that are necessary, safe and effective—when planet MAHA is a bottomless pit of sketchy supplements, colloidal silver, and useless animal medication.

You can love someone deeply and truly and still not understand them. I’ve been dealing with a sore, clogged ear all week. Today, I managed to finally flush out a knot of earwax. I asked my husband if he wanted to see what came out of my ear. He said NO! 😮 We are very different people, turns out.

Right, these are the two options: Either they tolerated Epstein's eugenics to get to the sex crimes or they tolerated his sex crimes to get to the eugenics

It’s not just that Trump is personally a rapist, though there’s lots of credible evidence to suggest that he is. It’s that he is promoting a fundamentally pro-rape ideology, and that the permissiveness for rape and entitlement to rape that are core to his worldview are central to his appeal for men.

anyway if dems think I'm gonna forget this shit in 5 months, they're wrong. if they think I'm gonna forget it in 5 years, they're wrong. they have fully convinced me that purging the party of these inept losers in the senate is more important than retaking the senate in the next election cycle

Ok, look, we gotta start having an Oscars but for hating. This deserves a higher honor than a click of the little heart. This needs a statuette.

This sounds like a request for people at his church to give him whatfor

The biggest problem the Democrats have is that their brand is so toxic that they may not be able to turn Trump’s massive unpopularity into electoral wins for them. And this debacle isn’t helping.

I think Dems should be realistic about the uselessness of the language in their bs sellout compromise bill stating that further RIFs are illegal. Trump himself is immune from consequences of criminal action, and has no shame about pardoning people who do crimes for him.

Schumer needs to resign and Hochul needs to appoint Brad Lander to his seat.

Top two location-specific movie audience reactions: watching Only Lovers Left Alive in Nashville and the wall of discontented clucking when they called some house in Detroit as “Jack White’s house”. And, watching Bugonia in Baltimore and everyone’s excited whispering when Stavros showed up.

Prescient

SNAP is a vital program and a big deal. But at least if your SNAP is late or missing, there are food banks and pantries and charities that can step in. There is no place to turn if your ACA subsidies are cut. You can’t just go down to the health care bank and stock up.

It’s not just that they don’t give a shit about you, your family and your budget, or your freedoms, or you job… the cherry on top is that they think you’re too dumb to see through this ruse.

reminder to any ambitious Dems waiting in the wings: announcing a primary challenge right now to a squishy Democrat who’s up in 2026, whether they voted tonight to shine Trump’s shoes or not, will almost instantaneously be awash in cash. fortune—and a primary challenge—favors the bold.

Federal workers have been taking it on the chin for ten months, and then put up with this shit for NOTHING. It’s infuriating.

I’m calling my “no” voting Senators to tell them that I won’t be voting for them, volunteering for them, or voting for them (or any other Dem for Senate) unless they remove Schumer.

Hearing that Dems folded in part because they don’t want to have to work every day and give up their recess. I drag my cancer-ridden ass to work everyday, because if I didn’t, I wouldn’t HAVE FUCKING HEALTH INSURANCE.

It makes them look like they held out in their “fighter” Halloween costumes long enough to reap the benefits from it on Election Day, but now that that’s all over they can show their real loser faces.

In fact, presenting it as a win only encourages Republicans to propose awful things that are illegal, just as a negotiating tactic.

Abolish the Senate and hang all the Senators

They don’t just want to stay rich, they also want you to stay poor.

I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

OVER A MILLION USERS DISCUSS SUICIDE WITH CHATGPT EVERY *WEEK* what the fuck are we DOING here

bring back maligning racism as the mark of a stupid person. prejudice is the mark of an idiot. if you believe that shit i bet you also don’t wipe your ass

idk if schumer made the offer expecting it to be rejected but i am once again concerned that the lack of prioritizing defending the people from ICE signals intent to “moderate” on the american gestapo if dems ever get power again.

Horrific.

There are no words for how evil this is
