I’ve been consuming some random aughts content recently and I must say that while our current political landscape is in shambles, it’s interesting how leftward our cultural landscape has shifted since then.

Must report that I have been in MAGA country for four days now and drove 2 hours deep into Tennessee and I have not seen a single Trump sign, bumper sticker or MAGA hat.

Incredible

i am so happy for him in this moment. however i am praying he is going to lose in this year's finals in 5 games

Happy for Wemby, hope we crush him (but we won’t)

I first saw Star Wars in 1997 when I was in second grade and thought it was an old movie. Realizing now that at the time, Star Wars had been out as long as Talladega Nights has been out now.

The stakes are fucking huge, though.

Extremely funny to see this after landing at the Chattanooga airport. God bless.

Unfortunately I must concede that LaGuardia is very nice now.

Solidarity with E. Jean Carroll and all survivors who face legal retaliation and criminal prosecution for speaking the truth. This is both remarkable and utterly unsurprising. Survivors have been jailed, retraumatized, harassed, and sued into silence for far too long.

Sheep Detectives…that’s cinema

Too many points in basketball.

Lots of terrible things happen in every war but I’m not going to soon forget the dozens of little girls killed in the opening salvoes of this war. The recourse to war—even “just” airstrikes—should be regretted by leaders and citizens because every war kills innocents.

If this deal goes through, I wonder if news media is gonna have the spine to cover it as the humiliating loss for Trump that its pretty clearly poised to be

This is unsettling. The #Ebola confirmed and suspected case count is at 958 already in DRC, with 5 confirmed cases in Uganda. (Uganda doesn’t often disclose suspected case numbers.) This has all the makings of an ugly and protracted outbreak. x.com/com_mediasrd...

People who want permanent DST do not run outside in the morning and it shows.

I made a huge mistake and accidentally got involved in grocery price discourse on the other site and now I’m remembering why you should never post.

In a fighting mood today. Do what you will with that information.

I like Bores over Lasher (although either is fine imo) but I’m happy to see Schlossberg’s no longer coasting on Pelosi and name recognition.

If we’re going to bring back the recession can we at least reboot Kid Nation

The heat in my apartment appears to be turning on????

Looks like it’s raining.

Someone tell me how I’m supposed to feel about Politics tonight

GOP primaries show Trump’s hold over that ever shrinking minority of the electorate that approves of him. He owns the party. And that means the party owns him — so now let’s see if their extremist embrace of emiserating corruption & dictatorship wins general elections or if Trumpism is a death grip.

the most important takeaway from massie’s race is that republican voters are a lost cause and we shouldn’t spend one second or one penny trying to appeal to them or win them over

The Paxton endorsement is extremely funny but I’m just not able to believe in Blexas at this juncture.

Jesus Christ.

The heat is…nice?

Guess the Mets drank some Michael’s Secret Stuff at the top of the 12th, huh

Two people just shot up a mosque. Look at this three days ago:

Extremists have used the ongoing war and genocide in Israel and Palestine to promote their white supremacist narratives. They don't care about Jews or Palestinians or Muslims. They see us all as "invaders" who are "replacing" them.

I find it so jarring when I love a book and find out it has a 3.3 rating on Goodreads.

When Democrats take control, I want a slush fund to compensate everyone who had to live through a decade of this unhinged nonsense.

(Not trying to be rude, I'm genuinely curious) What kind of food would you say is uniquely Australian? We have a lot of Australian cafes in New York, but it's mostly regular brunch food (eggs, avo toast, etc.).

If Americans and Brits have equally bad food, explain New Orleans.

I am once again begging, praying, weeping for lists of written instructions rather than videos. I do not want to watch your two minute video in the hope of catching the two seconds where you whizz past what goddamn menu the thing is under. Write. It. Down.

I take back all my complaints about the NYT crossword puzzles getting too easy after trying to do yesterday’s. Goddamn.

The only public take I’ll make on the Guardian great books list is that Jane Eyre is correctly ranked above both Wuthering Heights and Pride and Prejudice.

We ride at dawn for Laura

We know divorces are expensive, but breakups can be, too. For Bustle, I spoke with three women about the total costs of their breakups...all of which totaled around $20k!!! www.bustle.com/life/cost-of...

Juniper Blessing was only 19 years old when she was brutally murdered. Stabbed 40 times. Stabbed in her hands as she desperately tried to defend herself. This was a hate crime. Every person pushing anti trans rhetoric contributed to this. Shame on all of them.

a 19 year old trans woman was killed by being stabbed 40 times at UW in seattle Washington I don’t wanna hear anyone talking concern trolling shit about white trans women in “safe states” overreacting at what’s happening in the United States

I cannot stress enough how much anyone who complains about the government spending money to give new parents free diapers should never know one single moment of peace

Cold and rainy for Memorial Day weekend…what have we done to deserve this…

I think you guys are really overestimating the influence of text-based social media

reminder that one of the most promising emerging treatments for glioblastoma, the most lethal of all cancers, is customized MRNA vaccines, which HHS under Trump now refuses to fund: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Well anyway, I just bought more KN95s

An extremely courageous person who meant a lot to so many people.

The safest the city’s been in its 400-year history. Universal childcare on the way. More public restrooms! And every big business CEO and big-name VC fought against this tooth & nail.
