Can I say something without people getting mad? The French Crown Jewels look like the jacket your kooky aunt wears to Christmas

I never believed in reptile people till I saw Mike Johnson

How W. E. B. Du Bois responded to government policing of "anti-American" sentiment during the 1910s: "I took great satisfaction in being able to sit back in my chair and answer blandly, 'We are seeking to have the Constitution of the United States thoroughly and completely enforced.' ”

its kind of nice when a ghoul like cuomo just offers himself up on a platter as a tulpa for all of society's ills. Real Howard Schultz hours

Don't learn things the hard way. I learned that the hard way..

These guys are so vulnerable to defecting to Chicago

It’s really neat that for awhile pundits like this were saying “why can’t Zohran clearly and directly denounce the violence of Hamas?” and when he clearly and directly denounces the violence of Hamas they go “but he didn’t do it with any poetry! It wasn’t beautiful! I demand panache!”

Is the irony of the president’s friend buying something called “the free press” and immediately installing a government truth compliance officer lost on everybody?

This is the precise reason why I make and send Holiday cards every year, no joke. I maintain a contact list. I keep up with addresses and relationship changes. It means I don’t rely on gigantic, evil companies to mediate my access to my network of support.

The brownshirts are everywhere. And they *will* come to your street eventually. This is not just going to happen to "other people."

There are a lot of great things about being married to a lawyer/in-house counsel and one of them is that he insisted that I truly understand that the law is whatever the people in power say it is. He trained as a critical race theorist & this actually one of the legit reasons these people hate CRT

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

"A.I." boosters vs "A.I." critics

btw one of the conditions that makes you eligible for a covid shot rn is being a smoker (present or former). I would never suggest fibbing for any reason of course but in theory it would be pretty hard for a random pharmacist to disprove that their patient was a former smoker

there's a deliberate misreading of what violence is by bsky leadership—saying words that feature hyperbolic violence is *more* violent than saying "respectful sounding" words that lead to actual, off site violence. And it's not just bsky, this is societally pervasive rn. It sucks.

Just a reminder that these "pivotal votes" that the Democrats got in these recent special elections aren't pickups. They are pivotal seats that have been vacant for months because the Democrats who previously held them ran for office notwithstanding age and cancer diagnoses, then died in office.
