I understand that women are socialized to be self-deprecating about their looks but I sure wish my mom wouldn't be like "Im so ugly" and then tell my daughter "You look just like me," without putting those two thoughts together

For the one remaining Piece of the puzzle Which is when you'll die

This honestly bugs me a bunch re: Odyssey critique. A lot of the Iliad and the Odyssey is Goofy Fun. People turn into pigs! Nestor gives long speeches about how he doesn't give long speeches! Trying to treat them with reverence is itself a desecration.

Turned off motion smoothing on my parents' TV. Between this and giving them their first grandchild I feel like I've earned my keep

I heard they had a space program When they sing you can't hear, there's no air Sometimes I think I kind of like that and Other times I think I'm already there

105 degrees out right now!

Oh noooo my baby is already reading Camus!

[at the last judgment] JESUS: And the baby prisons? EVANGELICALS: to own the libs, right JESUS: And the libs, who are they EVANGELICALS: uh mostly illegal aliens. if we really hate a pretty girl we call her fatherless. some widows JESUS: Alien, fatherless, widow, got it. So you see these millstones

Having a baby means having boomers constantly asking where your baby's hat and socks are, and having to constant answer that your baby took them off and threw them somewhere.

Criminalization is the fuel of fascism.

When you're following an angel Does it mean you have to throw your body off a building?

Thou art too damned jolly. Sail on.

UMC in the news but like in a cool way for once 🤘

Every time I see someone talk about Claude I think about how they switched from female to male names as soon as they wanted the robots to seem like experts vs personal assistants.

Buy a Bible, learn Ancient Hebrew and Koine Greek and read it and analyze it in those languages, and you'll be a boring Methodist pastor

Inviting someone out to eat but then the restaurant is on The Strip (Las Vegas)

You WILL get older. and your body WILL start to fail. and when it does you'll notice the lack of publicly available benches and bathrooms. stuff that isn't your fault in any way will prevent you from going to PUBLIC PLACES THAT YOU PAY FOR, because you can't have access to a toilet or a place to sit

did not think donald trump trying to pick a favorite verse would ever be beat for best bible-based comedy clip but this is an instant contender.

why are ai folks so bent about me hating it. fine, i'll fall behind! let me!!! fuck off!!!!

I think Meg White is a good drummer just by the standards of being a good drummer but I think she’s an exceptional drummer by the standards of having her extremely strange husband come home one day and say that they were starting a band and had to dress alike and also she’s his sister now

priest: and so wise king solomon said “i will cut the baby in half” me: ohhh. i get it. baby was a worm priest: no it was a test me: risky test. what if he’s not a worm

Again: for any big liberal donor who wants to funnel millions into fixing this country's politics, the ROI on buying any struggling paper and simply tasking it with doing real reporting on local news is vastly higher than the same $$ given to some group that does mass ad buys every election year.

I want to be clear that the uber tunnel does have one other stop further away. I know because I once waited there for an hour for a car to show up and it never did.

AND POLLUTED OUR CITY WITH TOXIC SLUDGE UNRELATED TO THAT WHICH THEY SERVE AT THE EXCALIBUR BUFFET

It gets better (worse) www.inc.com/sam-blum/elo... futurism.com/advanced-tra...

do you want "Catholicism but american" we invented that, it's called Episcopalianism and it's even more woke. all the priests are lesbians. good luck

I cannot stress this enough: Vegas gave Musk millions to build us a supposed public transportation system. Instead he built basically an Uber tunnel for Teslas that only goes FROM ONE END OF A CONVENTION CENTER TO THE OTHER. Literally just gets you to the other side of a building.

Hello. I just found out that a death metal band has covered John Cage’s 4’33”, and now I need you lot to know that a death metal band has covered John Cage’s 4’33”. youtu.be/voqCQSDAcn8

There is no McTry.

Come on then, and remove him.

I've had my current YouTube account for about 20 years now and only have a handful of videos favorited, most of them also from about 20 years ago

This is not to say we shouldn't invoke the 25th amendment or that there aren't signs of Trump in decline, but when people say things like "Trump sounds like he has dementia..." has he not always sounded like this? I feel like he's always sounded like this.

Help me settle a debate: 1. Could K-Pop Demon Hunters be considered a horror movie? 2. Is Twilight a horror movie?

Been reading some pop literature

Yep! Basically these scores can't be equated to grade level; non-native English speakers were included in the sample; and the original source has retracted the claim.

Well now, would you look at that? A massive study of NEARLY 300,000 people in the United States found that receiving an updated mRNA COVID-19 vaccine REDUCED people’s risk of SEVERE disease AND death in ALL age groups, REGARDLESS of immunity from prior infection or vaccination.

and then they have a long sad conversation about whether it's time to leave. Can the kids really thrive here? It is their country but this shit just isn't stopping and they're not political people. She has a cousin in Damascus who seems to be doing OK, and would take them in until they got set up.

*incredibly* humourless 'I researched this for a novel once': yes, she would go "well they're doing that a lot. They crucified a thousand people on a single day last year. That's what they do, they crucify a bunch of people. Poor Josh. He was kind of an intense guy but he didn't deserve that."

Baby has started getting distracted while breastfeeding and VIOLENTLY breaking her latch so, well...idk we made it 7 months and im proud of that but might be time to switch to formula, kid

A certain variety of the Internet Left will complain about non-violent protests doing nothing and having no follow-up, but will also worship Mangioni. And like, what did that accomplish? What is the follow-up? One CEO is dead, and one guy is in prison. Nothing else has changed.

In times like these, we all could use a Public Universal Friend Seriously, you are not prepared for P.U.F. Happy Trans Day of Visibility! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_...

My baby got baptized today!

Skipping all the protests this weekend to instead sit at home and tell people on the internet, "You know protests dont work, right???" I am very radical.

The "wine mom" thing is a rhetorical cudgel used to reinforce patriarchy and delegitimize groups of women making a difference in their communities.

Inside you

"saints who are sick of the baby jesus" is one of my favourite sub-genres in art, the absolute star of which is St Christopher, who is being bullied by the Christ-Child at all times (the story is he is trying to cross a river and the holy infant gets heavier and heavier) king of beefing with a baby

We don't have to submit. I've said a long time that inevitability is the first lie of fascism. Think about that when AI boosters say there's no choice. There is. There always is.

A question you have to ask yourself if you’re going to approach politics as a responsible adult is whether your goal is to improve material conditions and achieve changes that reduce human suffering, or whether it is to look really cool in front of your friends online.These are not compatible aims.
