Happy Spotify Wrapped Day 🎉

it's not important. that's the answer. it is very very very rarely true, but it's not important.

I once was curious if Puerto Rico had a national anthem and when I went to write it out the suggestions included "Puerto Rico national anthem gasolina" and it took me out ahehdheh

"Well I already ran defense for pedophilia, might as well go all in on being a monster."

Got on Elder Scrolls Online for the first time in 6 months. Immediately blacked out and suddenly it was almost 4 am and my house had a bathroom...

Outside of everything else, the building on that OU student story is really cool and why don't we build cool shit anymore.

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

Having GERD.

The New Deal wasn’t built on a promise that there would be “no ceiling” for the richest Americans. Quite the opposite, in fact. FDR knew its politics could only work if he singled out the rich as villains and knew that its policies could only work if the rich paid their fair share in taxes.

I wasn't sure what was going on at first but once we revealed the bird I was like, oh definitely I'd try that.

Makes me laugh every time lol

We are in peak French heist season.

Okay, the crowd going nuts like someone just scored a touchdown at the Super Bowl all *through* the KDH performance is a hell of a thing to see hear/see:

And he never even got to kick the football 🥲

the reason for the season

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

I think we can safely say that the Leavitt's brother called ICE on his ex, the mother of his child, and I have to say: I have no desire to respect, find common ground or share the country with these monsters.

And where we played the main role in destabilizing the country in the first place.

he fell victim to one of the classic blunders! the most famous of which is, ‘never answer the phone for isaac chotiner,’ but only slightly less well-known is this: ‘never behave in a manner which causes derek guy to critique your fashion choices’

Who has some extra snuggles in store? ✨

finished some old sketches 🍓

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

What's even worse is Tulsa is not entirely unique. Events like this happened a multitude of times during Reconstruction.

AGAIN?! How can this woman say this so many times and NOT hear herself?

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

My friend just fuckin showed up with a corncob pipe & that’s when it hit me that we are all in our 40s which means we get one new accessory slot

"The FDA now considers a food manufacturer’s list of where it sent its recalled products to be confidential business information that cannot be shared with local food safety officials unless they have signed a privacy agreement." ...... what

“If your crime is being poor, you won’t be able to get your record clear because it’s costly,” said Sheena Meade of the Clean Slate Initiative. “You have to get an attorney, you have to jump through hoops, you have to take off work — it’s just really complicated.”

Getting the sense this is a hot take but after awhile I like the MS Now rebrand... It's way easier to say lol

When I tell kids the drug game has more integrity than journalism I get yelled at

Read the Foreign Policy article about this is August and to see it actually manifest- I knew it would but it's still- Wow.

Everyone stop acting weird and shocked about MTG. She has been systematically distancing herself from the current GOP for months and months. She has a plan reform herself under a new image ON THE RIGHT that’s not part of a sinking ship. She’s not suddenly changing her tune! SHE’S AN OPPORTUNIST

There's a fake economy sitting on top of the actual economy. The actual economy has been in recession / stagflation for years, but the fake economy moves from bubble to bubble.

Remember that Intuit (the owner of Turbotax) lobbied extensively to kill Direct File, which did tax filing for free and somehow managed to make a good and intuitive user experience without AI.

I cannot overemphasize that Marjorie Taylor Greene, Carlson, and Fuentes see a 2028 path to victory that involves building an isolationist populist coalition that traffics heavily in antisemitism and exploits existing negative sentiment against Israel. We have to be SHARP on the left right now.

In 2028 I will vote for whoever will send Stephen Miller to The Hague.

Sounds like he just decided hunting people would be fun.

not the main point I guess but holy hell, Denmark, wtf

“I hope that all those people who died in prison because we couldn’t get their records are looking down now. I hope they’re proud of me. We never stopped fighting for each other’s rights, and I will never stop fighting for yours. Thank you for this privilege.”

Repeat after me: *the purpose of a system is what it does* If you wanted a justice system whose purpose was to ensure public safety you would need to make a different system that *does that* The current carceral system's purpose is racialized oppression. That's what it does.

It's a revealing moment... J.D. Vance welcomes a two-legged robot helping on the job site. But if that helper is a person named Jose, he calls it a threat. Same tasks, same productivity boost. The inconsistency reveals this isn’t about economics.

Some of the most heartbreaking calls I took at the COVID info hotline were from meatpacking workers who wanted to know how to protect themselves at work from getting sick.

So many vulnerable people were hurt, harassed and raped by these ghouls and now—I’m worried—it’s gonna become hehe haha lurid internet circus instead of a long overdue moral reckoning. I’m scared of who we all are becoming. That man has brought us ALL low.
