getting into indoor plants is like getting into an MLM like what do you mean I need to get bigger pots for them I can’t just leave the smaller pot empty so I also have to get more plants??

yeah same Jamie, I heard flexible work arrangements were really helpful for dealing with job-related anxiety, something to consider

The Winter Olympics heard everyone calling them boring and turned it up to 11 www.reuters.com/sports/biath...

Heroes come in many forms and this is one of them

NO (NEGATIVE)

This poll is the worst high-quality poll for Trump that I’ve seen this term.

just choked on my beverage

This is why I have real fucking problem with blithe criticisms of "polarization" or "congressional dysfunction." We have a Republican member blaming his colleague for being attacked. The problem isn't polarization or dysfunction. It's the Republican Party.

I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio. Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3. Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

me, every year during restaurant week, asking present me wtf past me was thinking

ICE & CBP never left Los Angeles. In fact, today the feds set a daily record for number of kidnappings. Do not fall for the trap of “X says they’re leaving the city.” LA may have disappeared from the headlines but it’s still going on. We must continue to organize & fight back. Solidarity 🖤

in these trying times after the untimely death of my beloved husband, all i can do is sit back and revel in the fact that merch sales are up 200%

This machine yub nubs fascists.

It wasn't even close. It's inevitable that Chicago will get two (of six) snowplows named Abolish ICE and one named ICEbreaker.

Reporters should be asking congressional Republicans what *other* kinds of Americans they think deserve to be executed in the street by the president's goon squad. "So you support the murder of a mom and a VA nurse, but what about an Eagle Scout or a kindergarten teacher? How about a priest?"

ICE killing #AlexPretti should remind you of police killing #PhilandoCastille. Both men had concealed weapon permits, did not draw their guns, & were killed in Minn. These homicides are the price of unaccountable policing. These deaths are variations on the same fatal theme.

the fact that the NRA is offering even this incredibly mild level of resistance is significant. People do not like what they are seeing.

This is courage. Looking a masked, government fascist dead in the eye, face to face, knowing full well that your life is on the line. If elected officials had 1/10th of Alex Pretti's resolve, we would have far fewer troubles.

#BREAKING: Federal jury finds Chicago man NOT GUILTY of offering $10K for the murder of U.S. Border Patrol Cmdr. Gregory Bovino. The trial of Juan Espinoza Martinez was the first to result from “Operation Midway Blitz”: chicago.suntimes.com/live/closing...

just saw a billionaire pack all his things in a bindle and start leaving new york city on foot. he turned and looked at me with tears in his eyes and said “maybe one day when this city is safe we’ll return” before walking away

Watching a movie with Keke Palmer with my boyfriend. ME: “I love her.” BF: “I don’t think I’ve ever seen that lady.” ME: “Keke Palmer?” ME; “I don’t know. I’m sorry.” He just “sorry to this man”ed Keke Palmer.

Gave myself 3 blisters on my fingers trying on hiking boots, why do I have the skin of a rich Victorian child who never has and never will do any sort of manual labor

TW: stupid, cheesy, lovey dovey I love randomly texting “I love you” to my boyfriend because he acts like it’s the most incredible and shocking and lovely thing I could possibly say to him

new bullet points for my resume: - nearby - intact - wearing a suit #Plur1bus

several others have come up but Jake Lacy calling a numbered highway “the 9”

I’m enjoying #AllHerFault but lmao the Chicagoland geography is so so bad: - family lives in Wilmette - Chicago PD has jurisdiction for some reason - nanny lives in Thornton - car found abandoned in “Vernon Hill” - “Vernon Hills is in the middle of nowhere”

Zohran flip your hair again we need healthcare get him to give us healthcare.

sorry about that, this is my first time being alive

it's two things: a) Mamdani has levels of charisma Whitmer can only dream of having, and b) Whitmer went in there to capitulate immediately and Mamdani went in there to nod and smile politely bsky.app/profile/figg...

The funny thing about this meeting is that Mamdani didn't back down on a single policy point or anything he's said about Trump.

My favorite piece of content today.

The Mamdani Effect, folks

You'd think a magnetic personality would be more common among politicians, but it actually seems pretty rare

Actually lowkey obsessed w/ this airport friendship connection, they’re incredible. If the 34yo guy from DC with good hair and wearing burnt orange (all things they’ve discussed) who is seated between the two of them with his AirPods in but catching pieces of the convo is On Here, I bet he’d agree.

>kneeling at da rave >popedaddy leo puts the mdma pill on my tongue >“rise my child” >the beat drops >feeling da heat of the holy spirit take hold of me >somewhere far from papal ibiza jd vance has an aneurysm

listening to 2 boomers at the airport bar talk about wanting term limits for politicians maybe the kids will be alright

Renaming my orchid Elizabeth Warren because I moved her closer to the window a month ago, sunburnt her badly, and nevertheless she has persisted: I see a new leaf AND what appears to be a new flower spike

Fuck every alder who voted against plowing the sidewalks in chicago. I hope you don't slip and fall and break some bones. Special fuck you to the alder who did some terrible "back of the napkin" math. Stop ruining our lives!!!! Photos from a two block stretch of a busy commercial corridor.

There’s truly so much to unpack from what went down with PTS last month and there has not been any time to go over it with folks, but I promise you this energy is actually warranted and the Mayor and some progs deserve the heat too lol

Imagine going to extra school for learning all the laws real good and then they stop using them. Hilarious.

It happened to me: I looked up from the thing I was working on to see that my boyfriend had put on a NWSL game because “it’s more exciting than the other [soccer] games on right now.”

CHOTINER: So you asked for a Birkin bag? KOKO: Yes. Possession Bag. CHOTINER: And you had the funds to acquire this? KOKO: No, Professor Purchase Koko Gorilla CHOTINER: That doesn't sound like the funds were justifiable. KOKO: Hostility Interviewer

🧵This horrific story is being reported all over Latin America, but not the US. Randall Gamboa, a Costa Rican, was deported from the US in such a critical health condition it required an ambulance flight. He then died upon his return to Costa Rica after being detained for 8 months by DHS.

this is how I imagine Isaac Chotiner requests interviews

Chicago is actually God’s country suck it Morgan Wallen, send skeet
