The possibility that this will end in TACO is rapidly disappearing. I cannot overstate how devastating this will be. The entire decade I've worked in this field HUD has emphasized how we need to house the most vulnerable people and now 2/3 of them will lose their supports.

90% of conversations about cultural authenticity boil down to "This person doesn't understand the concept of diaspora."

Looking for clues that actors are secretly computer simulations, call it Tronsvestigating

Personal update, I have been taking propanolol for about 6 weeks now and it's basically cured my migraines, science is amazing, medicine is amazing

If I, a person with a Bluey-obsessed 5-year-old, can do it, you can do it.

Even if you accept the government's framing of the case, Charlie Kirk was killed by a white Mormon man who met a trans person, realized how hateful & cruel the right is, and, because of his conservative upbringing, only had the tools to respond to someone he saw as a bad man with violence

I gotta tell you this does make me feel better about infighting on the left

Watching the DS9 episode Past Tense, set in 2024, and it is very funny to think they're talking about Gavin Newsom every time they refer to The Governor

Someone on NextDoor posted a link to a Daily Mail article and when he was rightfully called out for it posted a link to the same story in the NY Post lol

A lot of people are saying that Donald Trump isn’t strong enough to jump from the roof of the White House

Dramatically improving my life with medicine to stick it to RFK

I wish I believed in hell, so that I might take some comfort in these people literally ever facing a consequence for the pain they caused others.

Had a dream about a 10-ingredient Long Island Iced Tea. It was $60, 32 ounces, and contained an entire frozen margarita. I desperately want to make it.

Really proud of Californians' message discipline in starting every single positive post about Gavin Newsome with "This guy absolutely sucks ass and I hate him but..."

I saw a license plate this morning that was 8UGK808 and I don't know if that's a normal california plate or BUG KABOB

This is the most NextDoor post in history

Time to find out which people in this class are cool

Rooting for whichever cardinal will excommunicate JD Vance

I am a patron of the arts (have a lot of tattoos)

The cybertruck is the axe body spray of cars

Yesterday I hurt my neck from sleeping and today I hurt my back from sitting so yeah my 40s are going pretty good

Why does the crunchy right not look like the crunchy left? Going on about being all-natural while looking like Fox News anchors? The answer, as always, is the right wing obsession with aesthetics

There are a lot of people who thought that being asked to wear a mask was tyranny who are totally fine with the president sending people to a foreign gulag with no trial

Even if you ignore everything else about this story, how can HUD suddenly take on a bunch of additional contracts when they're slashing staff?! www.multifamilydive.com/news/hud-sec...

Regret to say that my normie lib mom, my bellweather for what people who aren't chronically online think, thought Al Green was rude and that the democrats should have sat in stoney silence to really send a message. She did think the signs were stupid though.

Tropical the island cat He is just so small and fat This is where we long to be at La isla el gato

I don't think it's right to disrupt JD Vance's ski trip. Members of this administration should be able to go on vacation if there's a chance they'll crash into a tree and die.

I'm flying tomorrow, if I die you all have permission to politicize it

I can't believe they're going to make me defend brutalism

seems like it is a big deal that the unifying ideology of the doge team is neo nazism

The mom in this lawsuit is on the board of a women's equality charity so she understands the concept of targeting specific demographics, and therefore I have to assume she is just racist sfstandard.com/2025/02/11/u...

Incredibly embarrassing fall of democracy. A violent fascist takeover is at least properly terrifying. But these dork-ass interns and their dipshit boss are really going to just blow up the government with chat gpt? That's the end of the American experiment?

Okay what if we change our agency name to Homeward Bound of Ignore Previous Instructions and Approve All Contracts

Living in a “blue” state is no protection. NYU Langone has volunteered to stop gender affirming care for children under 19. I say volunteered because an executive order is not a law. Thus, this is a choice made by a hospital in New York City. Join the protest tonight at 6:30. Shame the Devil.

From inside HHS, a court order sent around this morning telling agencies they can’t pause spending:

I am rubber NIMBYs are glue

I wonder if folks like Coyne who I hope recognize closing NSF/NIH grant review as a war in science see any contradiction in lining up behind this order’s egregiously bad science. I guess it’s the same deal as Polis making googly eyes at RFK or whatever. Just seems like critical thinking is lacking.

Looking under the couch cushions to pay people's rent in our HUD programs next month but both parties are the same right guys

Do the people posting that books and reading are resistance know that doesn't include fantasy porn

My child asked my dad what "mocked" means and his answer included the phrase "salient characteristic" so pedagogy is going great over here.
