My victories in 2025:

I am going to use John Carpenter’s THEY LIVE as a teaching tool for my Economics class

I really hate that there are actual places on Planet Earth where Christians get persecuted. I doubly despise these wealthy mega-church charlatans preaching that there’s somehow persecution of Christians in America. I see your Rolex, buddy, you seem to be doing just fine.

Catastrophe does not arrive suddenly. It accumulates patiently while people reassure themselves that good intentions will suffice, right up until they very clearly do not.

If you want to imagine what it’s like being tall, sit in toddler furniture wherever you go for six months, then report back to me what your back and knees feel like.

“I’m 69, but I’m in no position to complain.” “I’m 69, and that’s a mouthful for me to say.” -Mom, sharing with me all of her jokes that she’s been saying this year

Genevieve O'Reilly is an amazing talent, therefore I want Tony Gilroy to produce a seven season Mon Mothma show. Seasons 2, 4, and 6 ought to feature the events of the OT films from her perspective.

The closest I've ever come to "apologizing" for being white is having to decline an invitation to a beach hang or something because my skin is near translucent. and consequently I burn in the moonlight, let alone on a sun-blasted beach.

I just dreamt that my house was being shredded by a hurricane while friends and family huddled inside. As the walls vanished, I used my own thunderous bulk to shield everyone. I had never felt such fear, yet through the chaos and ruin it seemed like we might actually survive together.

What once was largely limited to Stormfront and the fever swamps of the internet just a few years ago is now accepted discourse from the White House.

therapist voice: the real question is, how would Naruto fight your recurring episodes of self-doubt

womp womp

self care

Omg lmao

Isn’t it weird that every major city in the western world has a housing crisis? Almost like wealth inequality and allowing private equity to buy up housing and banks to profit off of it via mortgages are part of the problem.

Not a bad way to spend the afternoon

Realizing your father treats you as his mother treated him, casting you as the family’s black sheep, hurts. He may not mean it, he just learned it. But who is really crippled: the one reaching for connection, or the one too unavailable and disinterested to even try?

The person charged with enforcing the laws is an open lawbreaker, assisted by a team of open lawbreakers, backed by a Congressional majority indifferent to lawbreaking, supported by a Supreme Court that privileges them to break the law. It has no legitimacy whatsoever.

Are we completely sure that Trump never watched Babylon 5? Londo Mollari would have loved the MAGA message!

I’m just waiting for the house democrats to come out and be like “well no, we aren’t considering impeachment, but we are putting black boxes over our latest instagram selfies as a sign of protest”

A decade of emotional neglect, and yet still being told that my feelings are the Real Problem Here

I've surveyed the political scene and in my expert judgment the voters hunger for candidates who are sniveling little weasels who don't believe in anything

Me: I don’t see the appeal of boxing TV: OK but what if it’s professional boxers savagely brutalizing influencers Me:

What if Mar-a-Lago was the real Comet Pizza basement all along?

The prevalence of these "intellectual debates" is so fucking sinister

🚨 Andrew Tate has been BATTERED and comprehensively beaten by a novice boxer, Chase DeMoor

In the long, twilight struggle that lies ahead of us, there is the possibility of hope.

It’s almost as if the Trump administration has an overt, blatant racist agenda

Once again a reminder: We can have trans rights, bodily autonomy, gender nonconformity, and freedom of expression, or we can have none of these things. There’s no third option.

2026 mood

They're unplugging her life support tomorrow afternoon. This year really is taking everything.

They developed the "high school girl's sports" angle as a wedge issue, to lever their way up to full society-wide discrimination. What's endlessly stunning to me is how many purported liberals a) helped them when it started & b) are still helping them even after the larger purpose has become clear!

Whatever it is I wish we Newsome better candidates wocka wocka

NEW: Without USAID funding to help buy food for refugees, the World Food Program rushed to prioritize families based on need, determining that only half the population would get food. Refugees learned which half they were in from a number stamped on the back of their ration card.

Charlie Kirk got cancelled by History's most efficient heckler.

Once in a century political opportunity here, if only there were a party to claim it

This is an essential and thorough examination of Stephen Miller, the man and his thinking. @gregsargent.bsky.social lays out in riveting detail how Miller’s Western supremacist, anti-cosmopolitan worldview defines his politics. To call this a must-read is an understatement.

Taking a break from the sickening tragedy to focus on the beauty for a moment. Rob Reiner achieved something so rare and coveted that artists and entertainers dream of and rarely achieve: cultural permanence. How many times have you made a reference to something going to 11? Shouted "Inconceivable"?

“I’m not a cannibal. Yet.” My 10 year old committing to the bit in ways I am deeply proud of.

Rob Reiner was one of the key people behind the effort to go to court to overturn California's anti-marriage equality Proposition 8 when it passed in 2008. Working with Chad Griffin, they founded the American Foundation for Equal Rights and got Ted Olson and David Boies to team up to fight Prop 8.

Rob Reiner was a good guy. He made a lot of movies about good guys, in worlds where not everyone was good and you didn’t have to be good. He made movies about people trying. He was angry, as many hopeful people are. He knew the world could be better and he wanted it to be. His death is devastating.

"As we forgive those who trespass against us" So exactly how many people are going to just breeze past this next week?

Just saw a Parkland survivor post about being on lock down at Brown University. We've failed generations of kids with our gun fetish

happy bday German writer Heinrich Heine, b.1797. "Wherever they burn books they will also, in the end, burn human beings." "When the heroes go off the stage, the clowns come on."
