My brilliant, astonishing son would be dead without formula. My body couldn’t make food, and trying everything I could - pumping every two hours, supplements, diet - sacrificed my first months of new motherhood to the terminal velocity of my mental health spiral. Get bent.

We all knew this was coming, but the end of SAVE plans is going to be one of the most devastating long term developments to come out of this White House. Every other repayment plan involves massive amounts of compounding interest, and we're just going to wind up in MUCH worse shape in a few years.

WOTD “outlaws and renegades” edition. Maverick. A long, long time ago, I worked at the bar next door to the apartment building that all the members of the Mavericks lived in when they first moved to town with dreams of stardom. They were frequent patrons and performers. 1/2

Finally got around to reading this, and it's just lovely.

RFK spent COVID giving speeches to Trucker Convoys, doubling his income, launching a presidential bid, and constantly calling for the death of Fauci. The problem is RFK, not "science" you utter tool. He's not going to engage in any sort of real dialogue about ideas bc RFK has a schtick to sell.

Tommy Tuberville says things George Wallace wouldn’t have. There’s no code language to decipher. He puts the hate on a plate.

I can’t believe how much of the Trump era is about solving problems that *don’t* exist while making all the problems that *do* exist, worse. There is no one who thinks the biggest problem with air travel right now is not having an area to do pull-ups.

I feel for the prisoners, though. Can relate to a hankering for a well-spiced crab cake.

Fox News will applaud this but can you imagine their coverage if President Biden hatched a secret plan to take over Fox News and revamp its programming to be nicer to him

Trump 1 -> catch and kill tabloid stories Trump 2 -> catch and kill entire media corporations

Qatari money is the reason why all the dipshits on college campuses bleat the same bullshit

But remember no one wants to talk about how Qatari money is being influential everywhere in our country whether politics, land grab, or even the entertainment industry. Cause AIPAC.

It takes everything in me not to kick these fucking things straight into traffic. Los Angeles is overrun with them.

I would happily listen to a ragtime Christmas album.

This is the way

Hey peeps, many library cards will give you free access to Kanopy! Here are some horror movies they have in their library: The Vourdalak, A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, Train to Busan, Exhuma, Let the Right One In, The Wicker Man, Birth/Rebirth, Titane, Late Night With the Devil, Ganja & Hess.

“Moral & intellectual descent is inherent in a political project that sets out to…reject the inclusive egalitarianism of modern America, find enemies to demonize, & heroize a leader who defiles common decency. Such a movement might begin w/ Plato, but it will inevitably lead to Nick Fuentes.” Gift:

Now this will make you smile: city asks school kids to name new pothole filling truck. I was dreading the ‘potty mcPot face’ entries. Winner? 6th grader with “Uncle Fill” (from fresh prince of bel air Uncle Phil). It’s beyond genius. UNCLE FILL!! The kids are all right, I tell ya

The first principle of this is a load-bearing English middle class belief that all mental disorders are faked, that anyone sick for longer than a week is malingering, that people who say they are allergic to things are lying for attention, and so on.

I was explaining to someone the day about Fenway’s relationship with baby Wembley, so I dug out this picture. I was by myself and wanted to get a picture of both of them, so I hooked their leashes to a neighbor’s picket fence and they took it from there and posed themselves. That was 15 years ago.

Italy I see and recognize your greatness in the field of procrastination. I am truly inspired to up my game.

People forget now the enormous amount of work - 14+ months, 100s of committee & subcommittees meetings (Senate Finance alone met 53 times), nearly 80 bipartisan House hearings/markups plus countless more in the Senate... - went into writing the ACA. We better hope the GOP doesn't have a "plan".

1/ This is an important and non-intuitive lesson from my previous life as a risk manager: Most people don't do highly immoral and highly unethical things, ever. They just don't. Of the universe of people who *do*, it's actually incredibly rare to find someone who does them as one-offs.

I don't know which Call of Duty this Canadian edgelord played where crossbow bolts defeat body armor, but I do know it wasn't American body armor with SAPI inserts. They're ceramic. Meant to stop an AK round. The only damage the crossbow bolt will do is to itself. And maybe scuff the Kevlar.

Stephen Colbert said that she looked like "female Handsome Squidward" and I get it out of my head

To be fair: if I can’t eat them, then why are they on my “cookie table”? You know, the cookie table. The table all Americans have, set aside specifically for cookies.

"Bring that sumbitch here daddy so I can whoop him for turning you into a welfare queen" he said, with tears in his eyes

imagine saying this in public to the guy who fucked your business up in the first place.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett announces her campaign for U.S. Senate for Texas with an ad that uses Trump’s own words against her.

This kind of bottle-shaming is a not-so-subtle way to push women out of the workforce.

The media successfully convinced itself all the humorless scolds were on the left, and while we certainly have our share of them, oh, baby, is it not even CLOSE to how many there are on the right.

Reader, he is, in fact, making this stuff up

i am never again going to let a conservative get away with complaining about the liberal nanny state because these assholes actually *are* the nagging, inappropriately intrusive boogeymen conservatives have been bleating about for my entire adult life, mind your fucking business

It's time once again for my annual #treebybike post. This is the 12/19/42 cover of @newyorker.com, so one full year after the attack on Pearl Harbor. This would be the first real Christmas alone, or without a family member, for millions in the US. Gas and tire rationing had begun earlier that year.🗃️

Ok, and? I’m serious. Thing aren’t great, for sure. And? Telling ppl things are bad is easy. Figuring out the path to someplace better is hard. And risky. So: And? There’s no thread here. Just “it suck.” Ok. And? All that matters is what comes after the “and.” The only things that matters.

Saying Trump is “transactional” is just a gentle way of saying he’s corrupt. Every power he has been trusted with, he treats as a way to extract favors and benefits from anyone he sees as situationally vulnerable.

Weird how it's uniformly white people who say this shit when everyone else understands the assignment, innit

Trump keeps pardoning drug criminals.
