Completely fucked up society that a parent had a medical incident at my daughter's gymnastics class and I felt shitty and second guessed us calling an ambulance because of not knowing his insurance situation/how much it would cost/etc. Great times.

My seven year old daughter's new obsession is Boba so guess who's accidentally becoming experienced at making boba at home.

Fellow Indianapolis transit riders know - GenCon is an absolutely amazing week, even if you don't actively participate.

I realise I'm just a freak, but living in a multicultural city is the best thing of all time, it's just the best possible human experience and i can not understand why anyone on earth would be like "weve got to destroy this"

I’ve started using the term “ethnic cleansing campaign” to describe the ICE occupation here in Minnesota. This is deliberate because the reality on the ground is that, at a given moment, any non-white person can be kidnapped by masked federal paramilitaries regardless of their constitutional rights.

Asking the ICE agent beating a guy up on the pavement to hold still so I can scan his QR code that he was required to wear instead of a badge that can simply be read

One thing I’d like to see is my senators and governor every day on tv at 5pm holding a press conference with video of every documented abuse that ICE is doing. Curate all of the witnessing we’re doing and show it to the press.

It’s a pet peeve of mine. But we don’t know what it would look like for national Dems to actually take up an activist idea like that and refine it into campaign messaging and policy. What we’ve seen is the results of them hiding from it and condemning it and letting republicans turn it into a cudgel

“Women should smile more.” (Woman smiles) *gunshots*

Should be sleeping but instead watching mediocre football and eating pimento cheese send help

18 Cincinnati 4 split between Terre Haute/Indy 2 Chicago 20 Indy (.5 in Ireland in there) Still don't claim Indy as home 😁

Of course they released this video. 1. They want it to instill fear in people that they could be shot next. 2. They believe there will be no consequences. 3. They're proud of brutalizing people that they don't see as their equals or even human. 4. Maybe to recuit other gun fetishizing sociopaths?

Calling the score line to get the final game score when the Reds played on the west coast and the game ended after the paper went to print

As someone who has multiple dangerous interactions with a car every time I ride my bike I have zero patience for this bullshit from JD Vance and Kristi Noem about the agent feeling threatened by a car turning around. The average bike commuter has more courage than trigger-happy Jonathan Ross.

“But he thought—“ I don’t care what he thought. The person with the badge, gun, and government paycheck is meant to be held to a higher standard than any old yahoo on the street. If he thought he was going to be hit he should have jumped out of the way WHICH IS WHAT HE DID. And then he killed her.

i know it's Xennial things were better in my day trickery but also this list is full of artists whose best song, ever, is the one charting this specific week

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to jump out of a helicopter to kidnap a head of state and his wife so some oil ceos can make a lot of money. we’ll be watching from a resort in florida that still serves wedge salad and checking how many retweets we get. good luck soldier

the senate will hold a vote next week on another bipartisan resolution “blocking” something that already happened.

Every reaction from any Democrat that stops short of impeachment is utterly disqualifying.

Fuck what did I wake up to

Cape May, hell yes. Fun summers.

“In simple terms: a heavier car offers diminishing safety benefits to the person inside it, while imposing rapidly increasing risk on everyone else.” (Graph from The Economist)

Tonight calls for the whiskeys to be cask strength

Jamelle Bouie is one of the most measured voices in punditry and his continued open scorn for the almost unimaginably self-serving and shallow-minded work of Thomas Chatterton Williams is both supremely well-deserved and one of my favorite bits on here.

I refuse to shut up about this: NYC started charging $9 to bring a car into our most transit-rich zone, the haters & trolls predicted doom, but traffic evaporated instantly and here’s Times Square tonite (even after the holiday tourists have left). For a better future, build transit & price driving!

And the air is noticeably cleaner! Literally we can all breathe better thanks to the law!

In less than 24 hours I've had a Red Line bus where the stop signal didn't work and a Red Line bus where the left side doors didn't work. Not to mention the fact that the screens don't work on 90% of them. Lovely maintenance budget you got there IndyGo.

I hope she knows we're laughing at her, not with her.

you know what's funny when someone sacrifices what was left of their soul for personal gain and takes personal losses instead

Remember when Stefanik was the "new generation" - the youngest ever member before AOC and the dawning of millennial Congress? Well, what happened?

I was trying to get off the Red Line at 9th and this had happened a bit earlier so we had to detour. Looked like quite a mess.

By insisting that gravity exists, physicists are excluding those who think it doesn't exist — and reducing the number of ideas by half. I am a professional political commentator.
