We’re doing studies to prove it (* not how studies work)

this is wild: while Stephen Miller's guy was in Minnesota for his uncle's funeral, somebody was able to see his entire phone and take pictures of his Signal group chats talking about military deployments to Portland, and brought them to the Strib (gift link: www.startribune.com/trump-offici...)

"The growth has been fastest for those at the very top." Over past year in US: Top 10% –> increase of 6%, or $5 trillion Top 1% –> increase of 7% Top 0.1% (those with net worth of at least $46 million) –> increase of 10% Since pandemic, total wealth of Top 0.1% has doubled to over $23 trillion.

I like how the American Government has adopted the literal policy of ethnic cleansing and the vast majority of Americans are just chill about it.

Welcome to your 40’s, when all you need to do is look at something wrong and you somehow both hurt yourself and gain 10 pounds

Sometimes I just want to walk into the woods and never come out

Self-awareness and other acts of horror.

literally every day this president does five things that he should be impeached for

*guy who doesn't know his own passwords voice* you couldn't torture my passwords out of me

when you become a boss you lose the right to chop it up with the employees in the break room. you gave that up in exchange for power. if you want a business AND the camaraderie, start a co-op

i just want someone to look at me like i look at bubble wrap

FYI this is going around seeming to be from me and Liz. This is not from us.

So I'd like to show a demonstration of what this "waffles" thing is. Here's a conversation between *this site's* CEO, some random guy, and the cofounder of "Tangled", a GitHub clone built on top of Bluesky's protocol. Please take a moment to really think, about the shape of this thoughtlessness.

It's #BandcampFriday! I just want to make music but I am now doomed to also have to create silly videos to try and get people's attention to listen to said music. (Please share, I need the validation of attention and the sales) hawaiiworms.bandcamp.com/album/kiosk-67

This is just pure uncut fascist terror for terrors sake and it’s accelerating. The republicans are at war against democracy and sovereign democratically held states and cities. Full stop.

While most eyes are on Chicago and Portland the republicans fascist foot soldiers are waging war against the citizens of California in increasingly violent and brazen attacks on civilians.

Everything is too expensive and you can be kidnapped off the streets or shot by a bigot at any moment; you can't go to the doctor or get a vaccine or read certain books or learn history or speak a language other than English but hey at least a computer will drink a lake to talk to your kid for you

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

*makes first blanket in history* “Ooohhhh” *gets snuggly underneath it* “Oh wow” *sticks foot out but just a little* “yoooooo”

What the fuck do you mean I got a longer prison sentence than Diddy

NEW from me: Several CBS News staffers and insiders told me that the network "is not a good place now" amid the imminent arrival of Bari Weiss as editor-in-chief, who one source likened to Michael Scott of The Office based on her lack of qualifications. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

I like a number of songs on the new TS album, but there’s just no getting around the fact that it’s hilarious to fall deeply in love with Travis Kelce. It couldn’t be funnier if you wrote a set of romantic pop-ballads about Michelangelo the Ninja Turtle.

LMAO, yeah, POTUS is totally normal and not at all unhinged.

Beware the two-bit man in the three-piece suit with a one-track mind.

The real tragedy of the Nevermind baby is that even if he’d managed to grab that dollar it’s very unlikely he’d have been able to purchase anything with it

we were told that the future would be all hover boards and star trek replicators but actually it's fascism 2.0 and guys falling in love with predictive text. what the hell happened lxds

In a generation, when young historians ask you how you handled this moment, or what you did within this era, will you have to lie to them to have the appearance of being on the right side of history? I ask myself this question often to keep my mind clear in times of bitterness and strife.

White folks, if you think this government would never turn the military against you, think again—Sincerely Black people.

if conservatives think pronouns are worth getting mad about just wait until we unleash our newest trans antifa weapon antinouns

She was my suite-mate sophomore year of college. Based on conversations we occasionally had, this is a nightmare for America. Horrifying to realise that the discomfort I felt in every interaction with her was because I was witnessing a person’s live time descent into utter cruelty.

Just sharing this everywhere I see her name pop up today after ignoring her existence basically since we were 19 and lived in the same apartment. She is a deeply terrible person. Goodbye CBS “news”.

Holy shit, but ... I agree with MTG.

THE GUITAR THREAD: this will be a document of the various instruments I've collected throughout my centuries on this earth, in no particular order. to start, here's a 1966 Epiphone Casino - the body is a bit beaten up and scratched/cracked, but the feel is solid and the electronics still work:

start her like grim death and grinning devils, and raise the buried dead perpendicular out of their graves, boys

DHS posted a sizzle reel about it.

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

Is Palpatine slaughtering the younglings in a smart way?

i looked at the methodology for this and it is a. sex addiction counseling group in texas did a surveymonkey and extrapolated the results to the entire us population which is the sort of research design that earns you an ff on an intro methods class (the extra f is for extra effort), and b. p-hacked

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

I've seen Chappelle in a small club, years ago. At his peak, he was one of the best. He hasn't been that for quite a long time now. Ego and money can do weird things to people.

Oh, that’s a good one.
