The number of living women who could plausibly have a war started over them is extremely low, and she is one of them.

The fact that I am no longer on any algorithmically-led social media has made me so much more emotionally regulated it’s actually pretty wild. (The straterra helps too.)

As much as I hate to say it because it’s cheap webforum meta discourse, the strongest correlation to Platner support wasn’t ideology, it was if you still frequently use X, The Everything App. I would hope that would lead to some introspection about what remaining on there does to your judgement.

Whatever Platner did or didn’t do, pay attention to how quickly conversations about sexual and physical violence against women turn into “aw shucks” meditations on second chances in a way almost no other harms do. What you frame as deserving of grace tells me who you believe should absorb the cost.

“A thorough background check of a Senate candidate, which has become standard practice in key races, can take several weeks and cost roughly $20,000 or a monthly retainer. Moraff asked for an expedited, cheaper review to be done within days, according to people familiar with the matter.”

As a Jew, a woman, and a Jewish woman whose MULTIPLE layers of spidey sense have been tingling over this guy since DAY ONE, I personally think everyone who told me I was being a scold & a killjoy & “not leftist enough” owes me a fucking apology and a Green’s babka.

the high-profile people who supported platner ignored the nazi tattoo, so a bunch of women came forward to report sketchy behavior, which they also ignored, until this woman had to come forward and tell her full story. i hope they do some reflecting on how and why they put her in that position

So even IF the U.S. wins the World Cup there’ll be a huge Trump asterisk over it because he poisons everything he touches…?

Can’t sleep? Simple methods that work: • study hurricane forecast • who hates me • what did i forget • relive supreme humiliation • win 12-yr-old argument • buried alive? could happen • what i did vs should have done • dead people i miss • what if i’m bad • why do i say stuff • what’s my fuckin deal

waking up every morning and checking the news only to be disappointed yet again

The “vibe shift” proclaimed Nov. 2024 - Jan. 2025 was just some elites—in business, media, law, and some higher ed admins—who kinda liked the fascism and gave themselves permission to accommodate it. That’s all it ever was. A close presidential election is not somehow a binding cultural referendum.

i blocked so many people today for the sole reason that they failed to make me laugh. felt great. i totally understand why a king might have a jester executed on a whim now

you know who else made a call to a higher power to reverse a penalty for us

I was a TINY bit high last night and started LOSING MY MIND at the concept of fireflies.

Unfortunate ordering of comments.

Swifties trying to parse the Blake/Taylor drama using logic have never had an honest-to-God hard break with a friend. They are always THE most convoluted narratives full of gaps and contradictions, the only certainty being that the relationship reached some sort of irreconcilable point-of-no-return.

Bring me the Infinitely Tiny Trump inside the infinitely smallest tv.

Absolutely incredible. Writers room went wild with this one.

Wishing heatstroke on all the racists and neo-Nazis today.

In my latest “blocking people for the pettiest reasons” I just blocked someone on insta for saying Mariah Carey is white ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Independence Day Fit (Observed)

I swear, "a pope from Chicago excommunicates a Nazi-adjacent sect" is like a cut scene from The Blues Brothers

the devil is in the details. get him out of there

this meme is uniformly evergreen

I’m gonna be real vulnerable here for a second: I thought it was “sizzlin’ like a SNAIL”

Did I just try to plug in my seltzer can? I don’t want to talk about it.

IS IT?

The use of “biological” attempts to offer an air of scientific seriousness to their bigotry. It’s quite similar to how eugenicists co-opted the scientific principles of evolution a century ago to popularize “social Darwinism.“

Ending birthright citizenship would introduce an expensive and arduous bureaucratic machine for determining & “verifying” whatever conditions of citizenship would necessarily replace it, something that conservatives have neither considered nor planned for.

NEVER beating the freakizoid catholic convert allegations.

Yiiiiiikeesssssss. This is PRECISELY the path you go down when your only “value” is “the value of inquiry.”

literally one day apart. goldfish would scoff at this lack of object permanence

Guaranteed: 1) Black girls will be harassed and demanded to be tested over and over again regardless of how competitive they are. 2) Winners from public schools will be relentlessly hounded by the parents and coaches of losers at private schools, with the goal of making them quit the sport.

Instablocking anyone with a reel that begins “X Things I Think are Chic/Unchic”

*nodding solemnly with full comprehension* yes, I see. there’s a special kind of kid who can’t play sports or go to the bathroom

In a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court rules that gravity is real.

🙃

PUT THEM ALL IN “CLUB RANDOM” AND SHOOT THEM TO MARS IN A MUSKPOD

5-4 instead of 9-0. Just a completely illegitimate institution at this point.

Australians are always named something like Milly Alcock

Right wingers’ obsession with people “getting things they don’t deserve” is so central to their identity that they will make the gestures of this argument even when the particulars don’t hold up to the gentlest application of scrutiny or logic.

Rewatching Pitch Perfect in a hotel room and my GOD is Becca a bitch to that sweet boy who just wants to show her some good movies.

Dude was told to pick up his own trash once in high school and decided to become a Nazi.

Hey @erinbiba.bsky.social new song of the summer just dropped.

I wish he WOULD just vote Republican and get it over with!

Another big thing that led to Trump—both times, astoundingly!—Was people indiscriminately feeling that “SOMETHING needs to change!” When a politician is actually making change people can see & feel, that sense of desperation is quelled & people can think—and vote—more rationally.
