Alysa Liu is so adorable!

I am so sick in my soul of life being like this.

This is the warning on the blood pressure monitor my dad just got. Exceptional work. Anybody know what the fuck it’s supposed to mean? Last line is especially ominous

not a xtian but was raised one and “Faith without works is dead” lives endlessly in my brain

🥴

This really captures the issue. Urban people have the responsibility to feed rural people's egos. Rural people have the responsibility to do fuck all.

what the rurals want is to be given everything they ask for and told that they’re better than the city dwellers and that’s why they deserve it, and while individual dems can run campaigns on it, it’s not a national party responsibility to back them up

president vows to punch himself in the dick until congress agrees to kick him in the ass

oil over $100/barrel with no sign of coming down, dow futures down over 1000 points, maybe we'll have a war draft, too, just for funsies, sounds great

If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.

Just received news that it is in fact once again *Not* My Time To Shine.

Every day the economic experts get up and are like “we think today is the day the racists will use logic”

Every billionaire is a loaded gun pointed at Democracy

The main driver of the inflation that's been a part of our lives since April 2020? Trump, in order to protect US frackers, ordering Saudi Arabia to lower oil production so prices didn't keep dropping as oil usage dropped due to covid shutting down businesses. That's why oil prices are important.

I really hope that in the aftermath we get laws punishing parents (civilly) for failure to care appropriately for the children who they are responsible for. Children have a right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness too. We need to have a standard of care that includes vaccines.

"but I don't think she wants a moat" she wants the moat. we all want moats. get the moat.

this international women's day, get her what she REALLY wants (a large moat around her primary place of residence)

The price of gas is so high the Bloods and the Crips are rollin' together.

Okay but have you considered resting your little scruffy chin on your folded paws.

When I said I wanted to live in the 70s I meant more “seeing the Talking Heads at CBGB” and less “learning the taste of gasoline from a siphoning hose.”

By the time we're done, MAGA will be nothing more than a spooky bedtime story for our children's children. That much, I promise. This is a level of tragicomic political suicide America has never seen since the Great Depression.

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! The only way this could be funnier is if the woman in the clip is Irish American. Oh, you wanted to ruin this country and then when everything went to ****, skip back to your motherland for some relaxation? Nah, bitch. They hate you there too!

Normalize asking American tourists where they were on January 6th

In my #OTD threads I often try to draw attention to important scientists who historically haven't received the same recognition as their peers. A science education involves a lot of lore: Stories and anecdotes meant to flesh out a narrative about the development of a field...

Snowdrops!

GOP lifting sanctions to help Russia sell their oil while they are helping Iran target Americans, seems more National Security concerning than a private e-mail server.

Fuckers need to pay.

Happy Eat Early Day to all pets that celebrate

Its a good thing a lot of these states don’t have notable and competitive statewide races this year

Republicans CHOSE to cut $1 trillion from Medicaid.   They CHOSE not to extend the ACA tax credits to keep your premiums down.   They said it was too expensive.    And yet, Republicans are completely fine with a reckless war with Iran that's costing billions.

If Dem governors were good at theater they would send police out to guard gas stations because of all of the reported theft and fighting around gas pumps. Media is suppressing these reports that I'm now reporting.

"A woman who claims she was abused as a minor by both Epstein and Trump has given the FBI vivid accounts that include aspects of her life corroborated by the The Post and Courier through public records ... she claimed Trump forced her to commit a sex act on him sometime around 1984."

It’s cool that this generation gets to find out the answer to “what would you have done when we started interning the Japanese?” and “what would you have done when we invaded Vietnam?” and “what would you have done in Watergate?” all at the same time.

daylight savings doesn’t go far enough. we should change the time daily. make me feel like i stepped out of a game of jumanji every time i leave the serene comfort of sleep

This means that 9-year-old Lucy can deadlift me.

Maine, you lucky bastards for getting to have this woman rep you

it does feel like the theme for March 2026 is "I should get to have a little antisemitism, as a treat"

I'm sure the USN can open Hormuz in the sense of getting x% of tankers through safely. But what x is acceptable enough for ship owners, charterers, and crews, and nearby littoral states?

The professional managerial class, unlike business owners or the most senior managers, is subject to continual oversight and daily accountability, and so has less freedom to detach itself from reality.

WORK FASTER, NECK RASH

in my day, we didn't "burp the house" we "opened the windows"

wearing my women in stem t-shirt on international women’s day to celebrate the fact that i was given that and a reusable water bottle instead of equal pay

Anyone have a spare $4.5M so I can buy a house based just on the CD and book storage system? www.curbed.com/article/soho...

I pray that neither the MAGA regime, nor the Bibi regime, nor the Iranian regime, nor any of the gulf regimes survives this wretched shitshow. If we're gonna throw down like this, I want too see a lot of tyrants in jail or under the ground.

brb remaking Turing test into a slur

man.

Embarrassed to report that only today did I learn that "seersucker" is an inartful importation of the Persian phrase "shīr o shakkar" meaning milk and sugar, indicating the alternating smooth and puckered texture of the fabric.
