Woman Struggles To Put Down Bags While Holding Coffee Like Dog Trying To Fit Stick Through Door https://theonion.com/woman-struggles-to-put-down-bags-while-holding-coffee-like-dog-trying-to-fit-stick-through-door/

The news about Harlequin translators getting fired en masse? You should care about that. They're doing it there because they think nobody gives a shit about romance and so it's fine to experiment with it first.

Phidoloporid bryozoans, like this colony picked from a crab pot at Apollo Bay, Victoria, Australia last month, are often confusingly known as 'lace corals'.

I'd appreciate any Christmas cheer y'all have to spread 🎄 even if it's just a reblog 🥰✨ #signalboost

You've heard of shrimp colors but consider... TRILOBITE COLORS

WE ALL KNOW MONEY IS FAKE AND WE ALL KNOW IT’S FAKE IN THE WORST WAYS WHERE IT PROPS UP THE WHIMS AND MACHINATIONS OF THE WORST PEOPLE BUT WE KEEP LETTING IT BE FAKE!!!!!!!!!

Forbidden ravioli of the deep

2025 Headline of the Year nominee (June)

I don't think Trump should get access to standard medical care, he should have to let RFK Jr treat him

I love working at the Department of Justice and participating in a conspiracy to cover up the demented 80 year old president's sex crimes. I spend 18 hours a day redacting documents and there's a putrid husk where my soul used to be

Remember when I said Weiss was stupid and incompetent? Stuff like this. An actual television producer would understand this stuff - if not the exact schedule and procedures for how the episode was distributed, at least who they could ask who would know.

DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar: "Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

iCloud, Mega, and as a torrent. Archivists have uploaded the 60 Minutes episode Bari Weiss spiked.

Worth noting, I guess, that inside of a year we've gone from administration officials taking selfies of themselves at CECOT and bragging about how it's hell on earth to now getting their horrible little media worms to kill stories about it

support independent media. idk what else to say right now.

Betty Reid Soskin, the National Park Service’s oldest ranger, has died. She was 104.

Incompetent courtiers being put in charge of key technical positions and then totally botching them was a recurring feature and major weakness of historical absolute monarchies and authoritarian regimes. Anyway, Bari Weiss,

I’ve started and deleted this rant many times tonight, but: Investor Owned Utilities should not be allowed to exist. Especially ones that have killed customers repeatedly, and only maintain infrastructure because they’ve lost lawsuits. The existence of IOU’s is another failing of society.

Mr. Beast, all my friends and I were saying how good at boxing you’d be

genAI is STOLEN WORK. Using genAI in *any* capacity is trafficking in stolen work, supporting the plunder. Period. These facts aren't even denied by the AI companies, they just find ways to make that plunder seem benevolent. Using their product enables that lie. Stop enabling the theft of our work.

Well chicken noodle soup came before making yogurt and it was stupid easy

A modern day prophet

My bus driver is explaining the solstice to a passenger like... getting down to the axis and revolution and their plane. This adorable and amusing.

Asked why no one outside the state of Washington cares enough about its flooded communities that just lost everything they own right before Christmas, today the nation admitted it just kinda assumed the PNW was always living underwater in some sort of giant puddle like that.

"[M]onetized the dysfunction" is a good way to describe the American health care system too.

Keep going. Be meaner. Aim whatever lizard-brain impulse you have towards cruelty and violence in this direction.

"don't know how to express it" You'd have to describe it by writing a prompt anyway! Just use the same words in direct communication with other person! Higher-ups used to be so eager to be ideas guys and now they're not embarrased exposing themselves as helpless and unable to talk to their own team

Trump Announces 5,000% Increase In All Numbers

1. lol no he won’t 2. That’s $2.5 billion dollars 3. The next time some Republican shitbird says “well how do we pay for it?” you hook them up to a car battery and play this clip over and over until they learn

an entire generation losing their minds that their children and grandchildren would DARE to do anything they don't understand and turning the full might of the world's imperial powers against the people they profess to love most

What are we doing here

Demeter 💗

UP!! MAKE NUMBER GO UP!! NUMBER *MUST* GO UP, NUMBERS FOR THE BLOOD GOD, NUMBERS!! GO!!! UPPPPPP!!!!

This would be a very good moment for Democratic leaders to increase the political salience of unnecessary wars

Chewing my ankle off

The Sky River needs to be Snow and also up in the mountains so I can fuck around the lowlands but nooooo it's Big Wet outside and will be for the next forever

I know this is a bold stance in America, but I simply do not believe we should be declaring war on another country for “stealing our oil” when the oil is, in fact, under the ground of that other country

when a poor person uses food stamps for a steak or homeless person spends $5 on a beer, it’s seen as proof that all poor people are so bad with money that they shouldn’t be given any, ever, for any reason. $77 billion out the window, and zuck’s legacy as a safe government contract bet is secure.

This always drives me a little nuts about people posting that quote. He is talking to children, and it's good advice for children. But you are an adult. You are not supposed to look for the helpers. You are supposed to BE a helper

Donald Trump has instructed the entire FBI to prioritize finding ways to bring charges against anti-fascists and other activists. Any FBI agent who wants to advance his career now has an incentive to set up naïve kids for an entrapment case. Please read about entrapment and how to protect yourself.

Energy bills across the U.S. have increased 13% since Trump took office at the beginning of this year. abcnews.go.com/US/energy-bi...

I cannot emphasize enough that this is the fastest way to kill these AI projects; don't hate use them, don't engage with them to try and 'break' them, just ignore them. Product that doesn't move units gets discontinued, if you buy it to destroy it, you still buy it, which is all they care about!

we can kill them all if we just work together and ✨believe💫

I'm giving out this star, so get it while you can folks

A special video for you tonight from me ❤️
