related, when the president is invading our own country, waging war on our own people, i don't wanna see dems give the GOP shit they ask for, don't wanna hear shit bout 'we hope our friends across the aisle will work with us on bipartisan solutions to the problems they cause' i don't want none of it

“I wanna live in a purple, Victorian house (dramatic pause) like a princess” -Rhett James McLaughlin, 4:02 Oct. 5, 2025

I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.

They want a fight. They deserve a clowning.

One Battle After Another might be the perfect movie

🚨NEW: For the first time in history, the single largest group of people arrested in the interior and sent to ICE detention is people with NO criminal record. As of yesterday's data release, 40%(!) of those arrested in the interior and detained by ICE had no prior conviction or pending charges.

From the people who brought you "if you touch a single molecule of fentanyl, maybe even with gloves on, *You Will Die*" comes the new thrilling adventure "literally burning a kilo of meth in an enclosed space is probably fine, right?"

*young me, developing a strong sense of justice* This is gonna be great, what an asset, this will never drive me insane

Mostly white spaces are usually referred to as Minimalist

If a church has these ugly ass chairs I guarantee you their views on women are even uglier

I realize broad science-literacy problems cannot generally be solved just by shoving more facts at people but I really wish more people understood that the entire purpose and mechanism of a vaccine is to educate your OWN immune system, making it about the most "natural" medical intervention possible

I’m sure it has its issues like everywhere else, but Boston is rapidly becoming one of my favorite cities. I’ve visited twice this summer and am already trying to figure out when I can come back! Bostonians, is this just tourist goggles or is it as great as it seems?!

CIA Realizes It’s Been Using Black Highlighters All These Years

The Big Beautiful Bill gives Meta a $15 billion check. That’s more than our federal government spends on child care in an entire year. If we invested that much in child care & early childhood education, we’d create stronger futures for everyone, not just Mark Zuckerberg.

So now I know the word “kayfabe”

we are currently watching an entire political party run cover for the most notorious sex trafficking ring in modern human history

One would hope the obvious fact that a crazy racist billionaire can reprogram an AI bot to also be crazy racist in the blink of an eye will make anyone pause just a sec before they open up any other AI tool and treat it as gospel.

God my absolute heart is with the people of Iran, who’ve fought so steadfastly for their own liberation, and are getting fucked half a dozen ways by a whole pantheon of geriatric war criminals while being told they should be grateful for it

Having an out-of-body experience

In the spring of 2008, I feared America was on the verge of war with Iran — and, believing that it’s good style to get to know people before you bomb them, I made “Rick Steves’ Iran,” a one-hour special that could (and would) only debut on PBS. Sadly, this special has become pertinent again today.

"i asked grok" "i asked chagpt" yeah well I asked a rare books librarian and they found things I didn’t even know I was looking for, while answering questions about provenance

Just bought a bottle of milk to drink at the airport. Something inside me is either broken or fixed. Haven’t decided which one yet

They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.

“A deranged maniac impersonated a police officer and killed lawmakers but if you’re an immigrant be sure you immediately comply with plain clothes people who won’t identify themselves telling you to get in a van”, what a fuckin country

Just so we're all clear: It's not a coincidence that the first senator they've used physical force against is Sen. Alex Padilla, a Latino man representing California.

This ICE shit is so crazy that it has New Yorkers openly complementing LA

Until I read Blueprint for a Revolution, I didn’t realize what an important role humor plays in fighting fascism. Being funny as hell is patriotic

It’s obvious but worth drawing out what raids of Home Depot’s of all places is about. It’s rounding up people who are really eager for work and for whom there is work, peoples whose labor is in demand. We know this but shows just how far it is from rounding up just the bad guys.

Okay that silly little thing I was so worried about is really just a silly little thing

Quakers continue their streak of making me think, “Maybe I should become a Quaker”

RFK Jr. Encourages Americans To Do Their Own Research About Dragons

Me: Wow I can’t believe I have this opportunity. The biggest moment in my career is only 9 days away, and I just need to stay calm and focused and try to enjoy it My period app:

“And I’m like, what do you mean, you ‘do your own research’? You running a double-blind study in your living room, dawg?” - A guy walking ahead of me with his friends on a NYC sidewalk in 2021, also my favorite overheard dialogue of the entire pandemic

I was on a plane today so a friend dropped by to let Barbara and Sean out. She sent me these gems

Happy Easter

Tradition states that last night Jesus emptied out all the jails. Spent Saturday night telling people “I don’t care what you did, people weren’t made for prisons.” The next day to prove His point He broke out of solitary. It is finished. Easter is incompatible with the carceral state. Happy Easter.

Preparing myself to receive the “He is risen” (aggressive) texts in the morning

Don’t shame people for not immediately reading all the books they buy. Some books aren’t made to be ready right away, okay? Some books need time to mature. Some books need to cure for a while. Some books are prosciutto, and don’t you forget it.

My only opinion about professional sports is that Steve Kerr continues his streak of being the best

Need this every time

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

I'm at the constitutional crisis / I'm at the collapsing economy / I'm at the ccccccombination constitutional crisis and collapsing economy

So this is what it feels like to fangirl. I won’t get over getting to shake aoc.bsky.social’s hand anytime soon

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act. Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes? Staffer: a DL and birth certificate. Me: The documents don’t match Staffer: Then a marriage certificate. Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too? Staffer: No Me: See the problem?

Seems like it’s a good night to be alone in the house with an appliance that is turned off and won’t stop beeping and a period that’s a week late.* Feeling peaceful. Zen personified *Not pregnant it’s perimenopause. Husband got a vasectomy on the internet one time

Former Skadden associate: The Administration cannot pick and choose who gets representation. It cannot use executive power to scare lawyers out of advocacy. “I will not allow my fear to manifest as silence. I choose courage.”
