I effing love this cat.

but nope, because of the symbolically gendered framework our politics operates in it's female coded liberalism that needs to calm everyone down, sort everything out boys make a mess & mum cleans up, so if there's a mess, it's mum's fault

So now people gotta tote around documents that I keep at a bank vault? "Armed ICE agents went to East African restaurants in the neighborhood Tuesday, closed the doors and demanded people's IDs. They found only U.S. citizens and made no arrests." www.mprnews.org/story/2025/1...

At the launch of a speaking tour intended to connect with Americans struggling with higher prices and stagnant wages, President Trump mocked the word “affordability” and touted how high the stock market had risen.

Jimmy Fallon would host the Hunger Games.

The Trump admin gave states an ultimatum: Cooperate with the immigration crackdown, or lose your federal funding. Oregon and 19 other states fought back — and won. Then officials logged in to the grant website to accept the money, only to find the button to do so was disabled: propub.li/4a4Bsk5

This thread is the perfect example of what I mean. The quote is pulled from an entire conversation about wokeness in D&D. The author ignored the consensus (wokeness is fine) and cherry-picked the one comment he misread as confirming his thesis. www.reddit.com/r/DnD/commen...

"Woke is ruining D&D". Meanwhile Dimension 20, one of the wokest real play shows around, just sold out Madison Square Garden and the Hollywood Bowl for live shows and brings armies of new players to RPGs.

News media has to do better with headlines that present false and unverified public health claims.

why is this in the NYT Cooking newsletter, of all places!!!!!

It's painful, the pity I feel when I hear a perfectly intelligent, moral guy saying perfectly intelligent, moral things in a forced deep voice. It's clearly become an unconscious habit, and all I can think is, "Oof, what did they do to you?" It also makes my throat hurt vicariously.

“After Ferreira was detained, Dos Santos Rodrigues said Michael Leavitt Sr. and his father, Bob Leavitt, reached out to her.” “‘They just kept saying, ‘Tell her to self-deport,’” she recalled. “Self-deport to where? Brazil is not her home.’” www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/26/m...

My teenage son texted my husband and I “love you” from school last week and we both immediately panicked thinking there was a school shooting. Our country is so fucked up. He was fine, just a sweet kid who forgot to say it when he left for school. 😢

And these are the same people who say gender isn't a social construct.

ELPHABA and GLINDA will return SUMMER 2027 in SINNERS 2

quickbooks has added "ai insight" to their service and since they did that every suggestion for the categorisation of every single piece of spending i've done has been wrong

REST IN POWER QUEEN

Someone really made an effort to spoof the big Festival of Trees on Facebook.

yins i need to beg for a primer on yimby/nimby left/right alignment honestly my mind struggles with back & forth of economic incentives. its why covering health care melted my brain anyway im prepared for some amount of "how can you be so ignorant" but i want the short version & google is no help

I can relate to being inspired by practices that have survived from antiquity but "I like this theology because in my interpretation, it elevates me above those I consider my lessers" is generally about ideology rather than faith

This looks like the cover to an album that everyone already loves even though you're just finding out about it

Happy anniversary to the Max Headroom incident, the greatest example of signal hijacking. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Hea...

Trump, this morning:

Am I a hypocrite for wanting this after giving a hard no to muppet knives out

Trixie wants more play time and less working on the basement time

The amazing thing about this is that in the past Fox has led multi-day freakouts over people offering tips like this. Specifically, I remember them losing their minds over a HuffPost blog about reducing travel during Thanksgiving.

NEW: The White House intervened in a DHS investigation. The target? Sex offender Andrew Tate. The WH person? Paul “Nazi Streak” Ingrassia. Who was previously also Tate’s lawyer. A banger from @robert-faturechi.bsky.social & Avi Asher-Shapiro www.propublica.org/article/andr...

Capitalism is incredible. Sorry, former teacher, your retirement fund is gone because 5 guys who've collectively never worked a full hour told the banks to put all the money in the country into virtual girlfriend futures

Still going to teach undergrads. If you were a woman in his class, would you approach him for help or feedback?

"In 1811 Robert 'Cannibal' Esquith was allowed to continue teaching despite consuming 23% of his statistics class, and then, through study of their bones, developed the Esquith averaging function that we still use to this day. If we remove such original minds from our institute where will we be?"

Massie: "The president has been saying this is a hoax. Well, he's just now decided to investigate a hoax, if it's a hoax. And I have another concern about these investigations he's announced. If they have ongoing investigations, those documents can't be released. So this might be a big smokescreen."

But he wasn't, like, the LEADING ECONOMIST in the entire fucking world. It is enraging to me that so many people in power simply do not see women as people.

My favourite year for oppressed literary masculinity was 2023 when the number of women on the Booker shortlist was smaller than the number of men named Paul

It rocks that all 20 people who genuinely think the Olivia Nuzzi stuff is interesting have editorial discretion at major media outlets. Just publish your group chats

Oh wow @reuters.com got the photo here:

“What is Text With Jesus? Text With Jesus offers users an interactive experience with a religious deity. In other words, users can text questions to Jesus and get a response. (Premium users can also converse with Satan.)” (H/t @ryanmarino.bsky.social )

NEW: We’ve uncovered the first known example of taxpayer money flowing from DHS to businesses controlled by Kristi Noem’s allies and friends. It’s part of a money trail that’s been shrouded in secrecy—and involves $220 million, a mysterious Delaware LLC & a horse named Gill.

All of these gross, weird, smug people who can't even write coherent sentences (or who can, but somehow manage to enjoy communicating with people who can't) expect us to think they're more intelligent, more informed, and better-qualified to decide cultural mores than the rest of us.

You probably saw videos of a nighttime raid in Chicago. Agents rappelling from a helicopter, bursting down doors, questioning brown-skinned immigrants. We investigated -- and found little evidence to support the government’s claims about Tren de Aragua. www.propublica.org/article/chic...

Great. They scheduled the wrong kind of mammogram, so I spent the morning between doctors' offices only to learn that they wrote down the wrong boob for the ultrasound and now I'm back to square one. It's awesome when your best option for cancer prevention is a back-alley mastectomy.

If only our society took major crimes by rich people as seriously as minor crimes by poor people. Ideally more seriously. But as seriously would be a big improvement.

Ken Starr, immediately after being fired for his role in the coverup of sexual abuse at Baylor: I should reach out to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein this happened! this is a thing that happened!

Walmart assures me that a Thanksgiving dinner is cheaper than ever, provided I'm willing to switch to eating seagull with no sides, so who's laughing now?

This is Russian company "Idol" with their anthropomorphic, AI robot being shown for the first time It takes a few steps and immediately falls over The sound only makes it funnier
