The Pike’s Peak Humane Society has a social media manager who is very good at their job

If you ever feel down about a mistake you’ve made, just remember that Google famously only hires “the best and the brightest,” and yet….yesterday for some reason my GMail gave me “expected delivery today” notifications for every boba order I have placed this year

If you thought elaborately faking being good at videogames to impress a bunch of manchildren was embarrassing, consider elaborately faking that your mother loves you.

On a scale from "Weeping Uncontrollably" to "Slamming My Head Repeatedly into the Table", I think today ranks a "Screaming Myself Hoarse".

If I want advice about the best way to strip the dick off of a dead raccoon I’ll consult RFKJr and his pack of psycho woo merchants, otherwise they can fuck right off about how I say healthy.

This is one of the most quietly revolutionary things any city can do to improve kids' lives & outcomes. If you genuinely care about kids having access to education or safe after school spaces & activities, then fund your libraries, staff your libraries, & make every public school ID a library card.

Had a longish day today, so I'm celebrating being done with whisky by candlelight. Alcohol and fire, what could go wrong?

I recently bought a bookcase from IKEA and now about 80% of my ads online are for IKEA bookcases. Normally, this type of thing would elicit a "Damn it retailer, I already bought the thing, I don't need one now." In this case... c'mon IKEA, let me pretend I'm not going to buy more bookcases.

Independent Bookstore Day spots to hit up in Chicago: - Women and Children First (radical, great poetry section) - Myopic Books (huge, great poetry section) - Armadillo’s Pillow (best smelling bookstore) - City Lit Books (by a blind date book!) - Lilliput Books (another woman-owned spot!)

Ah, the joy of working with an AV company for the first time and playing "Guess whether this show is an outlier or if every show this company produces is a hot mess."

I will die on the hill that "talent" is just when you love some mode of play enough that you play so much at it that you get a tiny better at it than your peers really early and adults start going "gosh, you're good at that" and that makes it even more fun, so you do it even more. And repeat.

Normally, I'm not one to say just don't think about it, but, honestly, it was way stupider when they tried to explain why the robot had an Austrian accent.

A cat with no teeth shouldn't be need to be told "Don't eat that," as often as Kronk does.

Trump is in Vegas. It's Wrestlemania weekend, also in Vegas. There's no way Trump dies in the ring at Wrestlemania. But we can't rule it out.

I’ve given this a great deal of thought, trying to come up with the perfect joke for this moment, and this is what I have so far - POPE LEO: our religion teaches that this war is bad VANCE: wow, who died and made YOU head of the Catholic Church?? POPE LEO: well, you should know, you were there

Regret to inform everyone that Peter Magyar beat the world’s smartest illiberal populist in large measure by working incredibly hard for 2 straight years, meaning the rest of us are just going to have to get off our asses and do shit rather than just complaining.

I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I. I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee

We should bring back these lost pronouns, partly because they are cool, and partly to annoy the TERFs (bonus point to the article for mentioning Chaucer’s use of the singular ‘they’). www.bbc.co.uk/future/artic...

I am literally crying laughing

Untranslated headlines in German are much clearer than New York Times headlines in English

It's this little gem and it's not up for debate

Happy International day of Transgender Visibility! All my homies say Trans Rights are Human Rights / anyone who's cool knows it too. We see you out there. Choose to be yourself and know that we have your back. Much love and respect today (and every day)! 🏳️‍⚧️ #transrights #transdayofvisibility

SCHLAPP: Who wants to see impeachment hearings? CPAC CROWD: *cheers* SCHLAPP: No. That was the wrong answer.

Excellent post with primo comments. Harkens back to early Twitter in a very good way.

Congratulations, you have discovered the happiest owl ☺️ all curses are now lifted

GOP Senator admits Trump is the reason for TSA shutdown, long airport lines: "The Democrats have offered to open up everything but ICE. ... Thune submitted that to President Trump. The President said, 'No deals with the Democrats.' We could have had TSA paid by the end of the week."

We’ve told all the casting agents that the Weird Al biopic sequel is currently on hold, but they just keep sending in headshots.

Yeah, remember when the right was up in arms about Obamacare, saying that it would lead to "death panels" where lawyers made treatment decisions for people? Here's the shit Florida's pulling:

Republicans blocked our bill to fully fund TSA & their agents. This is the 8th time they've blocked our attempts to reopen TSA, FEMA, & other agencies outside of ICE & CBP at DHS. But they would rather hold these agencies hostage to give Trump's ICE & CBP another blank check.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, internets. Work for the liberation of all sentient beings. Live your life in such a fashion that 400 years later there are punk covers of folk songs about what abadass you were. youtu.be/-nMACa3G2Cg?...

They’re telling me a great empire will be destroyed if I attack Persia. Even the oracles who don’t like me very much, very nasty, they all said to me, “Sir, it’s one of the great empires, and it’ll be destroyed. And all because you attacked Persia.” That’s what they’re telling me.

nobody does more brutal fashion reviews than the irish

Happy tyrant assassination day!

It’s hard to blame woke DEI when the military is losing a war because of the straits.

I just sang the opening of Vox Populi to Cole and he reacted just like Vox did to Lucifer (swiping at someone who couldn't hit back).

There are reports of ICE activity on the north side of Chicago happening now. Please share so people in the area can be aware and take precautions. If you’re in the area please come by our office at 7016 N Clark St for ICE whistles. We protect each other. Chinga la migra.

I don't know what this squirrel scored, but they clearly won.

So, I'm currently reading The Rosewater Redemption by Tade Thompson and I just came across a passage that stuck out to me: He wants Rosewater razed and the soil salted so that nothing can grow there again. He has said as much. He has declared the population traitors for not fleeing or defecting.

If you're in Chicago, today is freaking gorgeous. Go outside and touch some grass.

Even if you are 100% convinced that Democracy is already dead and our votes won't count... PLEASE VOTE ANYWAY! I'm begging everyone. There is a critical mass of voter turnout that will be too big to fix. Please vote, no matter how bleak it seems.
