receptionist at work (ESL) sent an office message out about today’s potluck that signed off with “Very informal gathering... No pressure... Let's see how it unfolds :)” and now I’m wondering what kind of party she has in mind

Also, don’t liberals have disproportionately more passports? and aren’t naturalized citizens more likely to have them as well, for the purpose of visiting family abroad?

Chuck Schumer retire bitch

This is Brad Lander doing pulltabs in the Uptown VFW. He’s one of us now

while we're abolishing ICE can we abolish the Senate as well

Huge scandal that Minneapolis has been crawling with terrorists this whole time. They've been living among us undercover as poets and nurses. And would've continued to, had it not been for the work of our bravest child kidnappers

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

I am trying not to post on these events in this state of mind but: I hope people understand what the observers are doing is brave and dangerous.

Yesterday a reporter asked me for comment about Minneapolis’ opposition to ICE. I got kind of worked up and sent way more than I should have. The piece is great—it’s in my prior post. But I wanted post my comments in full here:

There doesn't seem to be a single article on the @nytimes.com homepage reporting on the situation in Minneapolis Total journalistic malpractice

proud of my city, get their asses

screaming into the void here, but: even if RG *was* a domestic terrorist (w/e that means), even if she *was* trying to hit JR with murderous intent, shooting her *still* isn't justifiable if that had been an altercation between two civilians in a parking lot he would be in jail already

i realize now that this is just football but i cannot be reading posts like this during These Times

That DHS statement--which literally invents an entirely different fictional event to justify killing someone even in the face of extremely clear video proof--should probably make you think a little bit about other statements they make when there isn't video!

subtly introducing my family to the American century of humiliation

this seems weird to me tbh

when you definitely know what words mean

this is about forcing people with breasts to show them in the way approved of by fascists. it is in itself an act of sexual violence and coersion

i think a (perhaps underappreciated) aspect of this whole situation is the extent to which every elite profession is filled with people who excel at drawing attention and want to be famous more than they want to do the actual job

so obv alt-text is good for the visually impaired, pls don't misunderstand me but: surely it is also being used to train gAI no? like that's definitely happening right

this is the one

it just snowed bud lets go whip some shitties in the church parking lot

if we're going by track length then the best punk album of all time is Outside the Circle of Fire

feel like i have to steel myself for the possibility that the administration will deliberately release the files with Oops! All Democrats in order to nuke the opposition and the dems are walking right into it because they love nothing more than stepping on the biggest rake available

Japanese-style laws around car ownership and overnight street parking are a little draconian and that's Good, Actually

"Nostalgia for a time that never existed is a huge problem." it is THE problem, imo, like that is definitionally a huge component of fascism

good day for new musics imo

genuinely fucking funny for Republicans to be angrily screaming that the Republican candidate, who won the Republican primary, ran as a spoiler against the Independent candidate that lost the Democratic primary

to the tune of "potholes in my lawn"

i don't know much, but i do know that i personally would like @chatpileband.bsky.social and hayden pedigo to come to santa fe

today is the day that donald trump finally became president

STOP, YOU'RE MAKING A TERRIBLE MISTAKE

on the one hand, i would've gone absolutely crazy for wikipedia if it had existed when i was a kid and that would've been great otoh, i would have been even More Annoying

haven't seen actual frontal bossing since med school

Guin -- Getting Kroeber'd

“at least half [of all people] are inherently bad” is wrong on many levels and a truly awful way to mobilize support for any kind of political project how is this person taken seriously as a political analyst

literally just got two bags of huel last week for breakfasts welp

dudes rock

very close to pulling the trigger on replacing my range/oven with a dedicated wok/induction type jawn. swap out the actual oven for additional dedicated storage (which is all its used for now anyway)

this is obviously bad, and the new tariffs with china are going to immediately kill any smugness i have here, but, for now, you can still buy some out of this world high quality tea for significantly less than basic costco brand coffee

still remain convinced that our current political climate is heavily underwritten by the fact that many conservatives fundamentally believe that cities were a bad idea like a huge chunk of voters have no ideological commitments beyond Cities Bad

do you have what it takes to be a christmas adventurer

gave me more of a begbie-hulud vibe tbh
