making my friend play control and watching the opening cutscene and getting too excited when the head of a federal agency shoots himself in the head 🙂‍↕️

hello and welcome to the political genius exam. here is question one. which is a more compelling message: - the president is sending armies to occupy cities and kidnap and kill people and your town could be next - a meal at the cheesecake factory that previously cost $100 now costs $104.9

had a very respectful chat about theology tonight

THIS MAN IS YOUR FRIEND. HE FIGHTS FOR FREEDOM.

adhd is a disorder where you're constantly getting pranked by yourself

Quirked up Paulie Walnuts can still happen if people want it bad enough

the search for a special kind of lesbianism that doesn't pose any threat to the hegemonic assumption that women are broodmares leads people to some truly bizarre places, huh

let it happen. 𖦹 #AlanWake

rapidly reaching the point where the sweaty desperation to make fetch happen with platner is even more annoying than platner himself. if you're in maine and you need to vote for him i get it, but this push to make him the face of democratic socialism is just delusional

CBP didn’t give her or anyone any water; she asked 3 times accg to other reports. CBP killed a 7yr old. “8 hours after the girl & her father were taken into custody, she began having seizures & her body temperature was measured at 105.7 degrees by emergency medical technicians. shorturl.at/d2OTJ

POV you’re riffing on bluesky

every time i see a chud freaking out about how modern men have been feminized i'm really like. yes. correct. this has occurred through a process known as "natural selection,"

the thing about framing suicidal ideation or attempts by children as "emotional blackmail" is that it isn't 100% wrong in the strictly literal sense. for kids who are sexually abused by caregivers + given no support from other adults, "blackmail" may be the only option for protecting themselves

Found an additional graphic that gets even more of these quotes together. I've kept "I hate myself, I hate clover, and I hate bees" pinned above my desk since I first started studying evolutionary biology as an undergraduate. So relatable to get extremely frustrated with your study system.

Just going to note again, because somehow we've all completely retconned this and I feel like I'm taking crazy pills, that pound-for-pound Biden had one of the most draconian border security regimes of any U.S. president ever, second only to Trump, *many of whose policies he inherited and kept*

Open the borders to slay the undead Slave Power. But also open the borders because we are a free society and free societies respect basic freedom. #OpenBorders

if dr vox hates our "conversation" about AI, why doesn't he use chatgpt about it? the whole supposed value of LLMs is that they can provide you with whatever kind of "conversation" you want. surely it can generate the nuanced take on water usage he's looking for

ok, screenshot with no display name bc i don't want to actually argue about this but like. if you are cis please do not run to your trans friends to talk about the latest developments in transphobia

A.I. needs to watch its back, I'm coming for its job. Borrow tons of money with no chance of ever making it back? Kid shit. Lie that I'm good at stuff that I'll never be good at? Doing it now. Always be 5 years away from meeting my potential? Buddy, that's my life story.

my politics

the public health response to this has to be “close the camps and free them all” and nothing less

if you read one essay today public health friends, make it this one. buttondown.com/abbycartus/a...

TECH IS NOT 10 FASCIST FINANCIERS. TECH IS NOT SIX GUYS ON YOUTUBE PROMOTING THEIR PORTFOLIO. What do you think the demographics are of the half million tech workers who were laid off by the fascist tycoons? Who were the first people to bear the brunt for warning about harms of social media & LLMs?

"women's bathrooms smell like roses and are sparkling clean" you have never cleaned a women's bathroom. you have never cleaned a women's bathroom. YOU HAVE NEVER CLEANED A WOMEN'S BATHROOM

we need kurt cobain murder conspiracy posts to drop once every decade or so in order to determine which of our friends are as dumb as a sack of rocks. it's an important part of the online ecosystem

this is fucking crazy. imagine a british person trying to say "jaguar." it would have like seven syllables

every single person who smeared ava cordero in the press should be made to answer for their role in epstein's sex trafficking. they were accomplices in the rape of dozens of women and girls at minimum. if corderi had been taken seriously when she first spoke out it would have saved so many victims.

Who was editor back then? That person should have to account for this.

Leslie Wexner, former CEO of Victoria's Secret, was the other man named by Ava Cordero as her rapist and abuser alongside Jeffrey Epstein in 2007, only to be mocked and degraded and dismissed as crazy because she's trans.

CW- murder, racism Just read an article about 4 Haitian women deported from Puerto Rico. They've all been found dead, left in a river. This is what republican immigration policy does "Deporting anyone to a place where they had fled for asylum is murder" www.ibtimes.co.uk/ice-abductio...

nobody rags on connecticut harder than people who grew up in connecticut but one weird fact about CT is that our niche regional food, the connecticut lobster roll, is actually straight up the most delicious niche regional food

anybody who works in healthcare admin knows this. you'd be amazed how many medicare cards have "budd" and "flip" and "bootsie" and shit in the first name field. seniors are out here putting any old bullshit on their legal documents

They're calling HRT a "sex-rejecting procedure" now. I guess that means my wife gives me HRT every night!

very "i went to the grocery store and i solemnly swear that i did not sell any groceries." yeah we know dumbass, you were there to buy

The Heritage Foundation has released a 250-year roadmap to “save America.” The document is a how-to guide for subjugating girls & young women: a detailed plan to push them out of college, funnel them into early marriage and motherhood, and then trap them there. jessica.substack.com/p/theyre-com...

Super Bowl viewers Sunday speculated that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos appeared in the halftime show. In fact, he has been in hiding with his family. “He can’t sleep well at night. He wakes up three or four times a night screaming, ‘Daddy, Daddy,’” Liam's father Adrian Conejo Arias, said.

The US cutting off oil to Cuba is truly one of the most depraved acts it is possible to imagine. Hospitals will close, food production will collapse, people will starve. It is urgent for US citizens, and every sane person, to oppose this barbarism with all their might.

Many people can understand cisgender teens getting gender affirming surgery. Think of a a 16 year old girl who can’t run comfortably bc her breasts are too big, or a boy with enlarged breasts who is too embarrassed to go out without a sweatshirt in summer. Just grant trans kids the same humanity

This point by Greg is at the core of why I don't think I can ever just accept that trans kids are going to lose access to care. Because, you see, I was hospitalized twice for depression/suicidality when I was 16. I was on multiple psychiatric medications. My parents were wracked with worry.

5/ “I have already spent more than 60 days waking up eating the same repetitive meals…going to the doctor and that the only thing they tell you is to drink more water and the worst thing is that it seems like the water is what makes people sick here…” From 12-year-old Ender, detained 60+ days
