Happy fourth and fuck ICE

Went to the apartment pool absolutely full of early career people 5 beers into their Fourth of July and passed out celery sticks. Was a massive hit

The lack of jokes about the crowd today still has me assuming it was probably noticeably more crowded for July 4

The Battle Hymn of the Republic is not only a better and easier to sing melody, the lyrics are an affirmative statement of values and intent to bring liberty and freedom into a hostile world

Is the national mall busier today? I haven't seen any coverage here

ICE celebrating “Freedom 250” by taking shackled immigrants from our nation’s capital to concentration camps in the South.

Someone named "empath" said something empathetic and I said their bluesky handle was well named and then they blocked me

Omg it's Elizabeth Warren HAHA. I found one version of it at least

The absolute audacity to not have banned it at any other time

"The best friend of a nation is he who most faithfully rebukes her for her sins—and he her worst enemy who, under the specious… garb of patriotism seeks to excuse, palliate or defend them." - Frederick Douglass

Does anyone have that meme of the lady on Snapchat who is like "what's the vibe tonight? Coke? Poppers?" It's apparently more niche than I realized

This is my dog too. Will run in the other room if I inhale too abruptly just in CASE it's a sneeze

Is this coat done for? The only thing this idiot destroyed during his puppy phase. It's like a 300 dollar coat and is so so so warm so I would like to salvage it if possible

If I see a hot gay guy who is high achieving and only seems to have community with other hot high achieving gay guys, I assume that they're secretly log cabin republicans

how it feels to be the junior scholar proposing a Bold New Idea at a conference

Please help me finish my thesis so I can finally be free of academia 🫶✨ aidetectionsurvey.carrd.co

Look what came in the mail today

Dinner for an okay boy (kibble, pumpkin, and sardines)

Yes. It's the best social media detox cause I'm off of everything addicting and I am not necessarily glad to be here

Less a criticism than a bemused observation of cultural norms but at age 15 I suffered an ankle injury so catastrophic I had to undergo 5 operations and walk with crutches for a year, and nevertheless spent less time on the ground in pain than these Word Cup players do after, like, getting nudged.

the kelce bros tearfully disassembling their bunk bed

Life is Strange Before the Storm is SUCH better storytelling than the original. Good lord

Do gays still like her?? Marrying Travis makes everything about her advocacy feel really performative to me

some amazing things happening over on threads — ever since they “shut down CERN”

Finishing school has got me reminiscing. One time in high school I was cast as Charlie in Willy wonka and I can't explain how much I shouldn't have been cast as that. Zero memory, no rhythm, can't dance to save my life. I was just a twink with a decent voice

I like to sit down and think about things that might happen and how bad they will be

Here is atlas's best friend Rune

I'm in the tiny feet/hands club and we all said you are still allowed to make fun of Trump

Sometimes people mention actors like Tim Robbins and I am like "I've never heard of him" And then someone is like "no you've definitely seen him in something" And then I open his IMDB and have to be like "sorry but I've never seen a single one of these movies"

Is it too late to put this on my 4th of july tank

TURN THE FUCKING METAPHOR FACTORY OFF ITS TOO MUCH

*sigh* time to redo my dissertation

NEW evidence shows executives from 3 egg companies plotted to raise your prices. Price fixing is ILLEGAL. But Trump’s Justice Department is giving them a mere slap on the wrist. How small? The largest egg company only has to cough up 0.001% of its profit last year. Shameful.

I rarely use YouTube but have tried to use it twice today and both of my two minute videos were preceded with two minutes of ads??? Is this how it is just gonna be now

The Office goes to great lengths to hide that Steve Carrell is kinda shredded

?

I love how simultaneously Catholic and areligious this website manages to be

Stock trades by President. The blatant corruption is just staggering

everyone want to bitch about twitter until its time to laugh

I do not have enough HP today for all the psychic damage this Trump speech is giving

Apple is passing the cost of “Apple Intelligence” onto its customers.

spending my one wild and precious life emptying dehumidifiers

Happy Canada Day to these two

Ironically, this decision was probably an effort in equity

Thinking about how both of my roommates used to hide my artwork when they had parents visiting

Don't do any of this.

I don't know that I can emotionally handle concluding my PhD and concluding Heartstopper on the same day this month

"I don't know that there's any piece of media that could make me 'celebrate America' right n-"
