The 'kin' of ‘napkin’ means "little." ‘Nap’ comes from ‘nape,' which means “tablecloth.” So a napkin is a little tablecloth. 10/10, no notes.

Bluesky, just here to say I appreciate you when things are otherwise no laughing matter

most daters on #MatchMeAbroad S2 have no self-awareness so I don't expect them to have any cultural or institutional awareness

"History is going to remember..." is meaningless. The evil being remembered will be dead. The people who sat idly by and did nothing, will be dead. Beat they asses NOW

This is...incredible?????

It’s not just any gun range it’s the POLICE DEPARTMENT gun range

Anti-trans activist Beth Bourne strips off nearly all her clothes in the middle of a Davis Board of Education meeting to protest trans people in bathrooms.

Not only do they believe the Rapture is coming, they are getting rid of their worldly goods, this Uber driver said he got a couple from church and they gave him a $1900 tip, plus took his info to send him more I gotta find me a couple believers right quick 😂

THEY WROTE NUMBERS ON THEIR WRISTS I can’t see straight. Obviously there is so much wrong happening here, but this detail is fucking chilling. These are human beings.

Emanuell Cooks, a Mississippi Delta Community College football player, died from medical complications after a game. He was a freshman offensive lineman from Elba, Alabama. buff.ly/dqYPdoK

Capitalism made everything convenient then made it expensive.

Eggsy and Jimmi were both just excited to see the neighbor’s cat (who came by for treats) but for some reason the pic ended up looking like a scene in an 80s movie where the nerd shows up with flowers and the girl he loves is already on a date with someone else

Yep, this is why they still refer to 2020 as the “Woke Times” and lend credence to the idea that this is all a result of a “backlash” rather than a pretty clear moment of attempted consolidation for a decades-long movement.

this was at the memorial?!

sharing a gfm for a local young adult who was murdered by his father. they've delayed his funeral by a month now because they haven't met their $5,000 goal. i knew DaJuan because he dated my niece, who also passed this summer from a rare cancer. both young people deserve(d) homegoings.

Fam we all do not want to be in this meeting. Let’s just get to the agenda and get out of here as quickly as possible.

This is Target’s stock. Down $49 or almost 36% since January. These boycotts WORK!!! Take comfort in this!!! And the one in Disney, Hulu, ABC will as well.

is that bad

Their AI generated a PODCAST of a paper I co-authored 🤮. I deleted the paper and my account and messaged my co-authors (on another platform of course) to tell them what I did and why. So unbelievably gross.

In addition to scraping your uploads for "generative AI" training, Academia dot edu is going to start claiming rights to your personal info— *including your signature & voice*— for anything they see fit. So now'd be a good time to remove all of your uploaded works, & then delete your whole account.

"Don't speak ill of the dead" being made into an unbreakable commandment by a culture that has done so much to shame away and erase any connection to ancestors in the cultures it oppresses is absolutely infuriating.

Some people _really_ don't like it if you toss words like "fascist" around when they think it isn’t warranted, so I’ve updated my post to outline exactly _why_ it’s warranted with DHH (courtesy of Roger Griffin): "As I remember London" is palingenetic ultranationalism, and I explain in my own post.

Shout out to Russell Wilson for repeatedly throwing the ball to the photographers. Not enough quarterbacks give the photographers a chance.

Acetaminophen/paracetamol use in pregnancy doesn't cause autism, no matter what RFK says this week. This is not an unsettled question. Evidence summarized here: sciencebasedmedicine.org/tylenol-and-...

it's not the bribery as much as it is the bribery under the pretense that Homan could actually execute the bribe because they'd win. how did they know that?

If publishing was at all worth anything, we’d have like five books by Ali and also he’d have a regular paid column

There are 69,484 Black immigrants in the Chicago metro area originally from a country in Africa, making up 5.2% of the city’s population, according to an American Community Survey analysis of the 2023 Census.

While racism is expensive, you should notice that white people are still willing to pay it right now. Always keep that in mind.

♻️ IG/rellyrellz2 Cheer Football Stunt….Is it a stunt? is it football? How about BOTH!!!! You get it honest Sydney 😂 #wssupowerhouse

the biden administration suspecting and proving that homan would take a bribe and then being unprepared to take the next step and just letting him walk away with $50k for doing nothing is so on the nose it just doesnt feel real

Antivaxxers are big mad about the pending autism announcement.

It’s not just Republicans trying to bait us into the streets to get our heads bust open. Everyone wants to see us playing revolutionary support mules on their behalf and our steadfast refusal to do so is pissing them off. We are not fucking stupid. Leave us ALONE

Liver failure diagnosis inspires Detroit entrepreneur to start wellness business with Motor City Match grant

4th deadly US strike on a boat in the Caribbean. As with the others: -in area US military operates freely -arrest low risk -no legal rationale -violates international law -no evidence of who US hit If really traffickers—very much an if—the move is interdiction. Would get evidence and intelligence.

To be clear: this entire “we’ve got to run more pro-lifers” insanity is because literally a week ago polling showed that Democrats would prefer politicians like AOC and Mamdani over Jefferies and Schumer by, let me emphasize this, a 20 point fucking margin. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

With help from his brother and some creative sound effects, an 11-year-old made us smile with his podcast. It's a finalist in this year's NPR Student Podcast Challenge.

“Healthier babies are being born in Flint because of Rx Kids,” said Dr. Mona Hanna, director of Rx Kids and associate dean of public health at the Michigan State University College of Human Medicine during a press briefing last week. #ubi #mutualaid

And I know we overuse the meme, but it applies: every time this happens, they go full Principal Skinner and insist it’s the children who are wrong. We know for a fact, Democrats want a younger, more progressive party, and the people in charge respond by seeing if Liz Cheney is free again.

The entire “Americans want pro corporate liberal centrism” project has failed, and an entire industry that runs on pretending otherwise is panicking. It isn’t just that they don’t want to move the party to the left; they don’t understand HOW to. They’ve literally never thought about it.

I see people talking about Fit for TV and The Biggest Loser and I have to hype this incredible feature from my @theflytrapmedia.com comrade @freeblackgirl.bsky.social. Truly outstanding read on this horrendous show and the profound impact it had on fat people.

There's a point in every scam where the victim goes in double because it is psychologically easier than admitting they've been had.
