These two just deadlifting American society right now

you need to take it seriously when a cat makes a sound. you need to have a dialogue and say "expand on that" and such

we’re in the vet’s office waiting room and they just called for Agamemnon. we all looked at the Great Dane but it turns out Agamemnon is an orange kitten in a backpack that makes him look like an astronaut cheese puff

Republicans somehow managed to sprint from “we’re trying to protect women in sports” straight to defending a woman being shot in the head three times at point blank range for trying to drive away from a masked thug.

Such a lovely and honest conversation about grief. The bit about being in a liminal state hit home. My "grief incident" is years past, but I often feel like I'm in limbo, caught between memories that look different as I question what was real and a future that looks nothing like what I envisioned.

I will read every interview with Heated Rivalry writer and director Jacob Tierney because his quotes are truly a reporter's dream: www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

do not mistake my silence for forgiveness. some things i simply stopped explaining. [sometimes closure is quiet] #poetry #micropoetry

Why the new food guidelines look like Cards Against Humanity

Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

i know we're all busy but i just overheard a plumber say "parlez-vous français ? non ? you motherfuckers don't even speak french, do you" to a pair of french bulldogs

Democrats need to understand that they can just say “It’s insane to threaten Greenland” and “I don’t think ICE should murder Americans in the street” and you don’t need to pretend to link it to the affordability crisis. Say bad things are bad.

all this is both foolish and unnecessary

Drove by the Dunkin and saw an inflatable stack of donuts outside; my Intrusive Thoughts Imp immediately started planning a midnight heist.

This is my favorite headcanon and it's a great example of how readers can offer a different reading of a text that the author never considered and did not intend, but is nonetheless validated by the text itself.

The year is 2003. I’m 17 years old. I’m watching Democrats fail to appropriately oppose an illegal war for oil. The year is 2026. I’m 40 years old. I’m watching Democrats fail to appropriately oppose an illegal war for oil.

this is kinda it. I'm posting and flailing and irl just havin a fuckin Saturday I guess because what is there? but it sucks. the US destabilizing governments wantonly for a century plus sucks.

oh sorry, i get it now. the US military isn't going to run venezuela, US oil companies are

if i was running a political party and every time my opponents held power they started illegal wars for oil and crashed the economy i would simply say that repeatedly

You should be embarrassed to be a member of congress and issuing anything other than impeachment resolutions. You're in the model UN. They should give you legos and a propeller hat

hey man no hate but you really don’t have to fill out a 2026 bingo card. i just mean it’s been like a decade without a successful prediction

Don’t forget to leave a brick out for Ben Folds this morning

Merry Christmas from Franklin and his nemesis

"You’ll be on the edge of your seat waiting for me, because you’ve heard way too many singers screech and waver and get me all wrong. What catastrophe awaits this time?"

Did the same tonight, WHEW it's good.

this is what some of you look like in your chore coats

going on a stupid little walk for my dumb mental health

I don’t know how anyone can still talk about “the AI revolution” with a straight face. Reuters story about a railroad company that has sunk $300,000 into “developing AI products” and appears to have made…a chatbot that doesn’t work? archive.is/2025.12.17-0...

she really said teehee

"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future." - @tressiemcphd.bsky.social with an absolute mic drop moment about AI bullshit. Incredible words. Listen to all of it!

Funny animal videos no longer being trustworthy just fucking sucks all around. I love the wonder of animal behavior and what it says about the experience of being alive. It's because it happened in reality that it's so fun. It's not fun if it was just made up. There's no wonder there.

this is the most "Get a Job, Stay Away From Her" I've ever felt

Maybe if I sigh heavily enough it will produce enough force to propel me through this day

Deep down, perhaps every right-leaning man wishes that chatbots could be the endlessly supportive and sexually receptive secretaries they saw in 70s movies or in porn. This is why almost every AI system is voiced by default by a young-sounding woman.

It's time! Welcome to the 2025 Hater's Guide to the Williams-Sonoma catalog: defector.com/the-2025-hat...

Merriam-Webster’s human editors have chosen ‘slop’ as the 2025 Word of the Year.

🧵 I've been a writer for my entire life, and worked very hard to get where I got by 2022. I was making a 100k a year, though I live in an expensive city. Suddenly it was just gone. I had three careers, really, and they all vanished because of AI, and suddenly I was struggling each month to pay rent.

When the AI boom began, copywriters were singled out as one of the jobs most vulnerable to AI. Now, three years later, I wanted to hear from workers on the frontlines of the industry, to hear what had actually taken place on the ground. For many, it was even worse than they'd feared.

Watching Heated Rivalry and wait....Sean McNamara? WAIT, BONNIE MCMURRAY??? (*echoes* Bonnie McMurray) God bless this Canadian smut.

Finished episode 3 of Pluribus then started making dinner and put on The O.C., Again...only to hear Alex and Niko immediately discuss Pluribus 🤯

One of my neighbors has been putting up these fish facts posters. All kinds of different fish, marine, freshwater, deep, shallow, all kinds. This is a good one. “Stg this real fish” took me out. Good work, neighbor.

no i don’t think so.

“When participants used ChatGPT to draft essays, brain scans revealed a 47% drop in neural connectivity across regions associated with memory, language, & critical reasoning. Their brains worked less, but they felt just as engaged—a kind of metacognitive mirage.”🧪
