Reading a contemporary romance novel and almost stopping because the “meet cute” involves my least favorite device: “OMG, you also like (mainstream popular thing)”. In this case it’s “OMG, you like Tatintino movies too?” As if he is some obscure director. It isn’t like Neil Breen.

One explanation for the current state of the world is that they all have prion disease.

It's the same picture youtu.be/HM-E2H1ChJM

To be clear, the call is for a statewide general strike. Which...I'm not telling anyone else what to do but I suspect people are gonna start acting like the call is for Nationwide and the press release specifically says statewide. minneapolisunions.org/system/files...

"Numbers that have never been seen before like Twelveteen and Sixtoquillion."

It's Trump Blind Item time again. Who do we think? I'm saying Chris Christie who did a lap band surgery in 2013 and has not, as far as I know, done a GLP-1, but I don't think Trump knows the difference.

Mike Trump. Jesus. My brain is very broken today.

It can still be Whiskey Friday with Tony Dokoupil...if Mike Trump has the courage to do the right thing.

If you want to go down a rabbit hole, the story of how GameStop ended up as a meme stock cult beholden to the worst people to keep the shares from collapsing is...something. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LPu...

Everything is just so dumb.

Convincing women that their “intuition” is superior to science is just another form of oppression. It is just one that a lot of women are willing to fall for because they mistake it as a form of power.

"Psychologically Western" is such a made up concept that when I google it the first three results are this tweet.

"And one other thing" is soooooo good.

Yeah but the right looks like a cool heavy metal album so...

America after Deportations: human have all died and sentient 1970s cars travel the wastelands.

Unexpected face turn by this guy.

Everything the guys says is so weird but "they take hotel rooms" is just...what?

It's weird because...I am fine with the fact that many people consider themselves my moral superior. I mean...no fine but...resigned. I don't believe in Jesus so I know that many people think I'm going to hell. I don't love the fact that they believe that but also... it is what it is.

This is true AND YET, I assure you community is out there, but (and I know this sounds dumb) you have to 1) leave your house and 2) talk to people who have opinions that don't 100% align with yours.

If they want virality just have the anchor take a literal shit on the desk each night instead of just metaphorically doing so, the current plan.

This is not hyperbole. One of the first big manosphere guys, Paul Elam, said that his "red pill" moment was his mom making him take diarrhea medicine when he didn't want to.

@cascoinfoundation.org @bft.wtf and any other crypto nerds, Florida House and Senate have bills filed allowing the state to accept stablecoin payment for license and other fees, but this is the definition that use. Trying to figure out who the definition would apply to (if anyone).

It's wild to see Mr "I never pay a contractor what I owe them for work they have completed" arguing that the US would be responsible for consequential damages related to companies onshoring factories to avoid tariffs.

"I'm a weak old man. My wife left me. My kids don't talk to me. All I want to do is to shoot a human being so I can feel alive before I die."

It's wild that we agree that he was an officer doing his best and yet disagree if that is a good or bad thing. If his best is "walk intentionally in front of a car and then shoot someone three times" that is not very good at all.

That is why legal observers like Renee Good are targeted: the threat they represent to (1) propaganda accounts, and (2) the lies they will tell, even in legal proceedings. They are front-line warriors against tyranny.

Need to have the car towed tomorrow for some expensive repair work and I’m trying to figure out if I should pay for the repairs in cash or put it in a credit card with the knowledge that by the end of the billing cycle inflation may have spiked.

If someone reflexively is angry when they see someone who was right wing get praise for changing their position, I think it is worth it to interrogate where that feeling comes from. Often I hear people say that people shouldn’t be rewarded for changing their mind when they were wrong before.

Buddhist meditation practice focuses on recognizing the moment as the only thing that matters instead of living in the future or the past. If you find yourself worrying that elections won’t happen take a breath, focus on now, and do one thing to fight the MAGA agenda, not matter how small.

International politics were always my weak spot when I was studying political science and the topic of economic sanctions was one where I was open to arguments on both sides. The idea that economic pressure was necessary vs concerns that innocent people were harmed by them. But now…sanction the US

The lesbian was killed because straight men are too feminine.

Does anyone have a list of orgs in Minn that are helping people on the ground with basic needs who are unable to work or travel because of ICE? Or because of the federal aid cutoff?

We are perilously close to him banning all ATM fees.

Do you think that the studio behind Greenland 2 think that all the Trump/Greenland stuff is going to help or hurt the box office? Is this going to be like in 2020 when we all watched Contagion at the same time?

Look at the language. We are supposed to accept if an trained agent of the state "panics" and shoots someone but we aren't supposed to understand why an average person might want to go document the activities of ICE in their neighborhood.

Pretty sure I main charactered myself for the day so I'm going to go touch lots of grass.

Do you think we can sneak in some talking points to the right wing about how this is all because cars are too dangerous and that this wouldn't be happening in a 15 minute city?

Being the child of a drug addict was always sad but JD Vance has made it just embarrassing. Seriously. We aren’t all like that.

While I understand the concerns about privacy, I also think that dash cams and similar quick recording devices are some of the biggest weapons to fight ICE at the moment.

The biggest indictment against Yale Law School is watching a YLS graduate talking about the law.

It's not a brick. It's soup for my family.

DOGE cut NASA's gravity budget and now this is happening.

Pitching the Black Mirror episode where Polymarkets has to overthrow the American government to avoid a big payout.

We joke a lot about "the writers of reality being too on-the-nose" but this woman's name being Good...that an ICE agent murdered Good...

If we are just dropping Geraldo lore, he also was once Kurt Vonnegut's son-in-law.

I keep thinking about the THING that his woman did, originally, that made ICE mad enough to murder her was observing. Documenting. Witnessing. They were furious that someone dared to make a record of what they are doing because they know it is wrong.

Don't watch the video. Traumatizing yourself doesn't raise awareness. You don't NEED to watch someone's death in order to make it meaningful. Instead of subjecting yourself to trauma send this to your most normie/median voter friend or family memeber. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

OK but...why is the thing we want to do depose the leader of another country and take over the oil. I don't want to do that. I want to build high speed rail and increase renewable energy and shit like that.

As someone who has experienced psychosis...at first there is something sort of freeing about it. To no longer have to worry about what is or isn't real and just depend on whatever shit your brain is telling you without having to worry about being right. Anyway, that's the Trump White House.
