Someone needs to send an ambulance to X

If he's going to get a national profile on the strength of a younger woman's campaign, I'm going to come out and say it: during his short-lived tenure as a math professor, Biss had an inappropriate romantic relationship with one of his undergraduate students. I was that student.

It’s pretty fucking rad that PTA and Ryan Coogler both won their first Oscars within five minutes of each other. Long overdue for both. Let’s go.

Jesus when he comes back to Earth:

Very on-brand for Gingrich to seek out a new, younger canal the moment the current canal starts having health problems

Anyone who ever played an RPG with an “unlock everything” cheat code knows that it’s only fun for about 20 minutes. The friction of decision making is SUPPOSED to be the fun part. The part where learning and satisfaction happen.

My Riftbound luck continues to be insane

Say what you want about Bluesky but when journalists and politicians get indoctrinated on here the worst thing that happens to them is getting strong opinions about Mina Shirakawa and MLB third basemen from the early 2000’s

If you find yourself following someone who is called woke ginger or pissed off nurse or whatever, they’re not your ally. Your ally is someone with an obscure Pokémon avatar called like ant piss aficionado

the most pathetic thing i can imagine is being a grown ass adult addicted to using the R slur. like it’s embarrassing enough to have it vestigially lodged in your vocabulary but to go to bat for your right to use a hateful word everybody normal got bored of in the sixth grade…?

i would love to stop seeing people here argue that it’s not antisemitic to kill random jews in america as retaliation for israeli policy. if people would stop doing that, that would be super cool imo. not being a bigoted sociopath on main — what a concept!

All this week I've written about how here in IL, dark money and MAGA aligned PACs are spending absurd sums of money to prop up establishment corporate Dems while attacking progressive Dems who are actually willing to fight. MSNOW has the scoop on just how deep this goes: www.ms.now/news/kat-abu...

Imagine being a shady hack who calls himself "The Woke Ginger." God, these dark money-funded influencers are insufferable.

im so tired

Some Tech CEO every day: "You don't get to own things now. I own your refrigerator. If you say mean things about me I will turn off your fridge and spoil all your dairy and eggs and meat. If you don't like it you go to jail." People in my mentions: "Lmao are you REALLY a luddite? smh"

1/4 tfw your fuck buddy spots you out with your ex-situationship (you didn't even fuck you just kissed like once) and immediately thinks she's been replaced (okay so you haven't seen her in a few weeks) but you were going to have to break up with her anyway and it has -

WHAT IF YOU JUST READ A FUCKING BOOK

File under “all timer”:

i bet this shit sounds magical if you're fucking stupid

Into the garbage bin they go, right next to Target. We don’t need your shitty brands! You’re expendable but trans people are not.

Been thinking about @hattersarts.bsky.social’s toxic Demacian Yuri a lot, so here’s Tianna being normal in her journal.

leaders like trump are why sun tzu had to write a bunch of advice like "don't write your enemy a letter detailing what tactics you really don't want them to do"

The troubles

today at the World Metaphors Classic the leader of the USA didn't bother to find out the details of the situation his team was in and blindly assumed they would win a matchup they ended up losing, jeopardizing their long-term standing for no good reason

Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now

Yes, hello, is that God? Yeah, hi. I have a complaint. You gave me this brain that’s designed for finding berries and avoiding lions and now people are ‘just circling back’ to see if we can ‘move the needle’ on ‘key initiatives’? NONE of those things are berries.

When will there be a TRANS of Hormuz

Phone wallpaper if you want it

I don’t think Trump and his people are capable of engineering “distractions,” I think the mind-numbing chaos we see every day is straightforwardly the result of giving the dumbest, cruelest, most corrupt, most selfish people of a generation near-unmitigated power

You also forgot we can't get the good sunscreen anymore

i work with words for a living, so I am biased, but I really think we've got to bring back words. really useful if you imbue them with meaning and arrange them properly!

move slow and repair things

This has nothing to do with the specific content here, but Polymarket adopting the language of news, here with BREAKING, and with Texas election results earlier this week, is BAD. Polymarket is not and will never be a news org or break news. It's a betting app. It's Draft Kings for sociopaths.

anthropic: I have made AI tech nerds: you fucked up a perfectly good computer is what you did. look at it. it's got anxiety

a lot of what has made discourse insane is that there's an entire crop of guys who live in dc, do a ton of uppers, and have massive gender insecurity around the fact that they're soft-handed scribes

Ear doctor: Don’t use Q-Tips Me already imagining putting a screw driver I found in the driveway in my ear when I get home: I womt

i'm not an economist but if 900 people can afford to fund $3,000 checks to damn near everyone else in america and still be insanely fuckin rich afterwards maybe they have too much fuckin money

Let me be clear: I’m glad Kristi Noem was fired. But we still have to abolish ICE.

This is how you write a goddamn headline.

I'm not sure about this branding but I'm not the billionaire business genius

i'm taking a brave stance that may get me canceled: there is no reason for the pervert glasses to exist

When Bluesky was down today I went back to Twitter and was punched in the face by the stench of abandoned aquarium. Milo Yiannopoulos, who I honestly thought was dead, stanning Hillary Clinton. Dem flaks earnestly retweeting Nick Fuentes. It’s time to cordon off anyone left and introduce alligators.

Musk, worth $829 billion, owns X. Bezos, worth $234 billion, owns The Washington Post & Twitch. Zuckerberg, worth $231 billion, owns Facebook, Instagram & WhatsApp. And now Larry Ellison, worth $202 billion, is about to control CNN, CBS, TikTok & HBO. Yes, this is oligarchy.

when he's worked up in a big tizzy like this, trying to be an informed american citizen with an awareness of the geopolitical landscape is just an effort to digitally concuss yourself

trying out a new feature, lmk if it works

I’m only a little sorry
