In my almost 20 years as a lawyer, as a leader, as a department head, as an executive...the people I have worked with who are the biggest gossips, who are the most emotional, and who are the most conflict-averse are men. And the women are the ones who end up cleaning up that mess as a result.

i’ve been saying AIs main utility to capitalists is to allow them to bring back all the racism sexism ableism transphobia and every other bigotry under the sun we’ve managed to mitigate in the last century and go “computer did it 🤷‍♀️” when called out for it

A good magical-realism/horror premise would be if you're writing a story about a horribly corrupt U.S. President and about 1/4 of the way through the story every person around them starts dropping dead, one by one, for no apparent reason at all, as if the king's moral rot is poisoning reality itself

At first I felt like I took over for a sad man, then I got a closer look from the outside and realized I *really* never was one, and after a while that person would come back when I felt threatened which fucked with me because sometimes I a woman and sometimes not. Turns out I'm plural 🤷‍♀️

Birthday 🎉 Slut is ready for you! See you all Nov 23rd 💋

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

Loevy plays a video of a woman's arrest. Hewson says the woman was "assaultive" because she kicked a can of tear gas that had been deployed. Loevy: "When you tear gas somebody … and they try to kick the tear gas canister away from them, that's assaulting?" Hewson: "Yes."

People who hate Zohran and everything he stands for: Now that Zohran has won, the most effective thing he can do is betray all of his principles

Employment lawyer here: the number of male employers who genuinely believe they should be able to sleep with their female employees and pay working mothers less than working fathers is most of them. They genuinely believe that it is an injustice against them that they might face repercussions.

Good morning

I hope everybody understands that the people who say we can't have anybody better than Harris, Pritzker, Newsom, etc. are lying because THEY don't want anybody better.

practicing The Pose to do that trendy thing #nsfw | #realnsfw

There was one first person who just enjoyed agitating food products for over an hour and now we have butter

You come out as trans because you stopped giving a fuck, then suddenly you *really* give a fuck, but if you lose it again it's really hard to return to giving a fuck

andrew cuomo ran one of the worst political campaigns in modern history but i think my favorite part was in this ai ad, the pregnant bill cited chatgpt as a source and a chatgpt phone walks onto the screen and goes “that’s right”

Basically, less "well, I think some parents have some good points about trans students" and more "shut the fuck up about children's genitals, you creep."

Let's put it this way: Newsom is California's Cuomo: started better than what else we had at the time, ending terrible and aligned with far-right people, now we don't f*cking want him anymore either. And, based on Cuomo's results for NYC, I'M THINKIN NEWSOM AIN'T GONNA CUT IT EITHER.

"Democrats Deeply Worried About the Repercussions of Victory" could be the defining statement of our generation.

We're living, laughing, and loving here at the Winter Palace

This person took this when they called the race

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

this is a reminder that we dont have to settle for newsom in 2028

we’ve got about two years until our evil Philly mayor’s term is up btw

ok now that zohran is the mayor all focus has to be on ousting chuck schumer

Things I never, ever thought I'd say

tonight New Yorkers have rejected the candidate most likely to believe the ninja turtles are real and active (Eric Adams) AND the candidate most likely to claim he beat one to a pulp in 1988 (Curtis Sliwa)

Is a 62 point lead a lot? because I’m concerned that massive wins of this sort will cause Democrats to learn the wrong lesson that standing up for principles and people and getting votes is more politically successful than spending 50 years trying to make a family of imaginary bigots like you.

can’t count the amount of times my endo tried to slow roll me out of clotting “concern.” so many trans women made go without e for weeks before and after surgery for the same reason even though it’s exceptionally unhealthy esp for those who’ve had orchis or bottom surgery

Little guy was coming in as I sneezed and he really did one of these

Oh

Elected Democrats spending more time today praising Dick Cheney than Zohran Mamdani is a great case study in abject fucking moral failure.

we have entered the vonnegutification of american politics. people who live in reality are the passive narrator unable to do anything to stop the careening train wreck of disconnected basketcases from fucking seals and getting invaded by china

Congratulations, you have outlived Dick Cheney!

Old men with dodgy eyesight >>>>>

I do not understand the fucking brain worms some Democratic politicians have about the word "socialism" "Oh no! What if my constituents accidentally think I support helping the poor and making housing more affordable! The horror!" 🙄

Does anyone actually like it when a singer makes the audience sing part of the song

One of our country's greatest war criminals just died, the president is arguing with himself about whether or not to let 40 million people starve, and there is an actual courtroom drama about a five dollar footlong. How are any of us supposed to maintain emotional regulation.

VP Cheney will be honoured with a 21 gun salute accidentally aimed directly at 21 of his friends

Everyone is always like "the only good nazi is a dead nazi", until they get a dead nazi and then they're like, "awh, but what about the dead nazi's nazi family?"

It’s truly tragic how many of these US war criminals like Cheney never face justice and die in their peacefully in their homes in their 80s and 90s. I want to be happy he is dead but I am not. The million people he killed didnt get the luxury to die how he did.

They fired every Black woman at Teen Vogue and every trans staffer. It is astonishing watching the American media ecosystem just falling like dominoes, bowing its knees to fascism.

What stage of capitalism is this?

3 NIC PATCHES ON. SHIT FEEL LIKE THE LIMITLESS PILL. IM JERKIN MYSELF OFF TELEKINETICALLY. IM SPEAKIN IN TONGUES. EYES BLOODSHOT. UNSHAKEABLE RESOLVE.

They should invent a cat who is chill about people sneezing

Down there - he said - are people who will follow any dragon, worship any god, ignore any inequity. All out of a kind of humdrum, everyday badness...Sin, you might say, without a trace of originality. They accept evil not because they say yes, but because they don't say no.

if there was a rich person with the will, you could build the most incredible news organization that has ever existed just from the wreckage of this year alone.
