the death of stuff like pinups as a normal thing to enjoy has lead to an increasing amount of people thinking nudity or sex has to be something you have to jack off to inherently when it clearly isn't. provocative art of a character or a nude of a person can also be made to show how beautiful we are

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

this is more or less what I expected

I’m starting invisalign today and they put all the little notches on my teeth for the things to hold on to and it is very weird lol I’m grateful to be able to do this but it is soooo weird

I just called Chuck Schumer’s office and, for the first time EVER, a person answered, who then politely entered my complaints into their call log. This tells me two things: 1) They’re not getting enough calls over there, and 2) If you want to yell at Schumer, today’s the day. (212) 486-4430

Women are returning to spider goddess ways 😌

we should take away all their money so they can’t do this

Kimmel isn't enough, Sinclair. I demand you send a beer to Dylan Mulvaney.

🗣️ ALL AROUND THE WORLD

Wild to watch one city at a time go through the processing of “okay now it’s my city” I’m right outside DC so it’s hard not to have a “first time?” attitude about it. It’s scary. My brother lives in Chicago. I have family in Baltimore. One by one feels like we’re having our turn

It's pretty wild to me that investigators have uncovered that anti-trans campaigns are largely funded by the fossil fuel industry, and that the presumed motivations are pretty directly to redirect the public conversation away from climate change... and that this isn't bigger news.

Someone in my building has a new dog (maybe visiting dog) and I’m not exactly annoyed but there sure has been a dog barking for like 15 hours lol

the political policy cure for “male loneliness” is - more time to hang with the fellas (4 day work week) - more money to spend with the fellas (higher wages) - more things to do with the fellas (taxing the rich and building 3rd spaces)

Well don't I feel stupid

It is funny for sure. The reason for the difference is that the closer analogy here is between Columbia's board and ABC's executives, who responded similarly. Kimmel is more like Columbia faculty who have resisted their bosses' capitulation. The recurring pattern is: management cowers, labor fights.

A 30 percent tariff on upholstered furniture? JD Vance must be beside himself. None of us are free until couches are free.

Really interesting tidbits in this latest NYT focus group

“We didn’t have autism when I was a kid” And yet your dad had a dedicated train room. All my nerdy friends dads did including mine 🧐

This generic acetaminophen had an Amtrak ACS-64, four Amfleet 1 cars, a Conrail EMD GP15-1, and some Conrail rolling stock in it. The problem is more serious than I thought.

The older I get the more pro-rat I become

Stolen from an Animorphs Facebook group.

The "Tacos Chotiner" tweet remains undefeated

imagine if a family of beavers randomly showed up right now and finished whatever thing you've been putting off

Im hearing maga is mad at GWAR for doing a normal GWAR show lol

big deal, there were at least 100 of these guys at any given anime convention from 2001-2005

This is mostly vibes but it feels uniquely American to me how many people here expect ~someone else~ to be happy and willing to work for free

admitting that you, an elected representative, have been intimidated by violent threats into changing your legislative stance is a phenomenal way to get roughly 2000x more threats of violence whenever anyone disagrees with anything youre set to vote for

So I'd just like to say an extra "fuck you" to all the cis people who argued with us last year when we told you she wasn't on our side

This is entirely true on so many levels I don't think I could possibly detail it exhaustively, but you really can't oppose trans people's human rights and still have freedom of expression and bodily autonomy, the idea that people are entitled to self determination goes right out the window....

If you are one of the almost 100 Dems who voted to honor the guy who said the Civil Rights Act was a huge mistake, don’t bother asking Black people to vote for you, donate to you or canvass for you next year. Don’t bother. Please. And don’t be shocked if you get a primary opponent.

Pretty clear illustration of "you may as well stand up for what you believe in, they're coming for you anyway."

"I can't believe Brazil of all places managed to do this while the US couldn't" My brother in Christ, what do you mean by "of all places"? We have public healthcare, actual vaccination policies and advanced electronic voting. Your prejudice against South Americans is showing

I was told i had a victim's mentality for bringing up the things that are happening now when they were only happening to people like me. Might have to run that back.

The first Reconstruction 3.0 president should bring Lina Khan into the administration and inject her with the Bane serum

Slap yourselves.

If you’re rich and not a coward, this is what you’d refer to as a “market opportunity” to dominate a media ecosystem that’s about to be covered in grotesque government slop. To be a pop of color in a sea of beige will be easier than ever. People will flock to it. You gotta be a little brave, though.

This is what I’ve been feeling for years. The system has become unusable, we need to build our own

This is beyond parody

I’m super curious to hear Pete’s thoughts on this tbh. Probably doesn’t feel great to find out he was passed over for being gay for all his talk about needing to “see where the other side is coming from” on LGBT issues 🙄

They don’t want to live with us though. They wants members of my community and myself and my partner to literally die

seeing the nerds get angry about greedflation was one of the moments when I realized that maybe we were fucked

When I was in high school my freshman *history* teacher told us that evolution would never be more than a theory because the Bible. My senior year AP history teacher laughed at a classmate who came in wearing a Virginia Dems t-shirt and said Virginia would always be red (in 2002)

Between this and the craft stores closing causing a loss of easy access to sewing patterns, we are playing with fire. These are some of our oldest technologies but people don’t take any of it seriously in large part because of their reputation as being feminine coded

Working in a shitty corporate restaurant radicalized me waaaaay more than my time in college I’ll tell ya what

Conservatives' position is "you started it by punching back" and far too many liberals for far too long have been willing accomplices to this narrative.

I hope people understand that the anomaly here aren’t the conditions—the conditions are very typical—the anomaly is that they put a number of documented workers from a high-income country in those conditions. This is how people are treated in custody routinely

Transgender people are owed a retraction and apology from @wsj.com. The lie has already become canon to millions and it seems the least they could do.

I called it

Conservatives slipped into another fucking reality since the Tea Party movement, and now they’re ushering liberals to the other side of the velvet rope like “you too can live in a world where justifying the mass murder of Palestinians or grieving a white nationalist makes you a good person!”
