Wild how wealthy powerful people who know they’re unlikely to be held accountable for their behavior gravitate to the most vulnerable targets, probably just a coincidence

my friend is on the latest episode of crowd control she's "three threesomes." i am dying cause i saw that and went "sounds about right."

i fucking love these movies they're so ridiculous

tonight's movie night for our mid-week movie watch: HOBBS AND SHAW

Workplaces can be cults.

THAT'S NOT HOW DEMOCRACY WORKS, BRO

Yup. This entire election reeks of contempt for the voters. The fact that this woman is endorsed by the major PACs demonstrates that the donor class doesn't give a fuck about you as long as they can get theirs.

The story of this election is downtown business owners and suburban landlords trying to meddle in a majority renter city in order to be allowed to exploit us for more money. Fuck that.

Becka Thompson waited until the last legal moment to resign park board and officially move her residency to the Ward she's running in: www.startribune.com/minneapolis-... Ward 12 doesn't need a councillor who can't be fucked to even live in the ward until 30 days before the election.

So much of our society is built atop certain bedrock symbioses that many assumed wouldn't be questioned because they were mutually beneficial to both parties, only for one party to reveal it would rather rule over the ashes if it meant it never had to deal with anybody other than a chosen few.

Kareem has such big Husband Guy energy (complimentary). So excited to rank these guys on Election Day!!

Had another meeting with DFL leadership tonight and I do have a bit more hope. We discussed broader cultural problems within the party, how we need to work to avoid a schism, and how moderate Dems need to be willing to come to the table instead of just writing off progressives.

Happy Rosh Hashanah y'all.

i am very tired and still very depressed and emotional and now my bank account is overdrawn again from my tax payment and i'm just exhausted from the everything (v#nmo @ dexanderson)

this a prime example of what not to do

my brother tried to get chatgpt to make an image of pepe the frog being crucified and was told it couldn't do that because it's offensive

OFC "This medical intervention has an 80% success rate" is being framed as something bad.

happy new year to all my friends who are celebrating!! may your apples and honey be ripe and sweet!

(i texted a screenshot of her tweet to my brother with "wanna see some blasphemy?" so that tells you what my relationship with my family is like, lol)

This is very very true. (source: dated a polish-german once).

My evangelical cousin says she made all five of her kids watch and told them to "mark the day and thank god for his mercy." It's genuinely horrifying to see Christians doing this shit.

A rich and powerful man voluntarily bearing a cross onstage, but adding wheels so it's not remotely difficult, is the perfect picture for our country.

in german, if you see something unbelievable, some say "Ich glaub' mein Hamster bohnert." Which means "I believe my Hamster is waxing the floor."

GOING FROM BINARY TRANS TO NON-BINARY IS NOT DETRANSITIONING

Only 1 person in the whole study went from identifying as trans to not identifying as trans. The 1/5 number came from youth going between the binary and non-binary spectrum. This headline and post are misleading on purpose to fit the economist's editorial bent on the political issue.

so the shit thing about being grey-romantic is that when you do break up, you know any sort of dating or relationship building is gonna take a longass time after this and it's EXHAUSTING.

I don’t have the energy to alt text for this but…don’t do this shit.

So I broke it off with the guy I've been seeing and I feel like shit about it and I'm just tired of men who don't own up to their own bullshit until you end things.

I live for this shit

i always forget that this was my first encounter with the magic that is Demi.

Jesus Christ.

i need a song for when your situationship turns out to be a fuckboy who can't be bothered to tell you when he's not going to meet up with you and your friends

Something happened here.

THIS

just learned that one of the people in the feminist caucus meeting objected to a rule change that would allow delegates to say their pronouns without being out of order because "it would alienate rural Minnesotans" and what are we even fucking doing. Stop assuming rural = ignorant or bigoted.

trans people just want to be able to live their lives and cis people are like "due to this we need to do mandatory genital inspections to children playing sports". im sorry but the problem is cis people

this is fucking wild

i went by open streets hennepin and MAN was there a STARK contrast between the Frey-aligned booths and those challenging his establishment and his cronies. Lots of vibrant conversations happening at the latter, and almost no one at the former. 👀

"Debate-me-bro culture, that's not real persuasion. Folks who are interested in this kind of debate-me-bro culture are not interested in persuasion at all. They're interested in the performance of their own intelligence," says @devawo.bsky.social. newrepublic.substack.com/p/is-america...

expand the tent to include anti-choicers but fuck trans people, amirite

this exists it is called thinking

i went thrifting yesterday and found a fucking STEELCASE RALLY office chair for $15. Retails for $400.

One of the biggest reasons i'd like someone to primary Governor Walz is because of how hostile the MN Dept of Transportation has been to transit users, unhoused folks, and urban residents throughout his first two terms. We're capable of better than this. We deserve better than this.

Hey this is an ADA violation and a destruction of pathways that were built literally a couple years ago. What the fuck are we doing.

This is what neoliberalism gets you - an inability to express solidarity. I regret ever trying to redeem her record on trans people - there WAS misinformation at that time but there is NO FUCKING REASON for her to be doing this shit now.

i was going to go get some ice cream but then i remembered that hyvee was having a 2 for $8 sale on ben and jerry's

I wanted to make sure I included this as well. Quentin gets it and I was very appreciative of this email.
