In order to save the economy we need to make everything subscription based and terrible. As long as we're funneling everything to the seven richest guys nothing bad will happen.

And yes, vaccines help…lessen the severity if and when you do catch them. They aren’t sterilizing. That doesn’t mean they’re unimportant. It just means they should not be your only layer of protection—and certainly not your family’s. Mask up in the germ tubes and the places they stop.

We always see a surge of infectious disease, including COVID, RSV, etc etc around Thanksgiving and Christmas. Unless you want to gift your fam with a few weeks sick this year, mask up as you travel!

Minimum for anyone running for congress imo

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

I feel you dude

A movie that takes place where you're from

In the US, Muslims are seen as antisemitic by default. I've experienced this my whole life.

Do you think if Trump gets Christmas Caroled, the Jacob Marley to his Scrooge would be Epstein?

UwU

JFK’s head did that because he had an idea that was way too good

Don't pay any attention to my previous posts about it being hard or my future posts about it being hard It's super duper easy and always fun

Writing is super easy actually and anyone saying otherwise is just trying to discourage you

You have 20 seconds to comply.

(replying to your post) I know it’s a joke, but cooking and eating a minion “goggles and all” would be morally wrong even if it’s technically legal

Anyway time to post this again. AI is a tool of fascism.

I deeply resent the time I spend turning off all of these features and making sure they don't magically get turned back on.

Putting this guy in charge of administering my will

KIRYU-CHAN! 🔪✨ #yakuza

you know dasher and dancer and prancer and vixen comet and cupid and richard m. nixon

MAMDANI: And I just think that there are barriers, barricades, to helping Americans that we can break down TRUMP: Uh huh MAMDANI: And breaking down barriers? Reminds me of a certain Broadway show *smiling widely* where they worked together to break a barricade? TRUMP: *sitting bolt upright* Phantom

I also wonder, if non-conservatives ever take the supreme court back, if they'd extend the same stare decisis to the Roberts court that the Roberts refuses to give to any court before it. "Liberal" justices need to be willing to overturn every Roberts decision or else them taking over isn't useful.

my sources are telling me that mamdani has committed to investing the entire NYPD pension fund in Ballroom

Just trying to live my life here 🙄

(Obama doesn’t like Mamdani because Mamdani is better at executing morally better politics than Obama ever was)

After that meeting, I'm never playing poker against Zohran Mamdani.

Quickbooks AI is now "suggesting" new transactions and I can't stress enough how much customers don't enjoy receiving random nonsense invoices.

Thank God the the freaks in power are cowards and easily bullied.

"Dick Cheney was antifa" I announce to a room full of MSNBC libs, who all nod and mumble affirmatively. Aaron Sorkin taps something into his Notes app

It’s widely known (and, I think, pretty uncontroversial) that learning requires effort — specifically, if you don’t have to work at getting the knowledge, it won’t stick. Even if an LLM could be trusted to give you correct information 100% of the time, it would be an inferior method of learning it.

If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey. This isn’t controversial. A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

Analysis | By calling for the execution of prominent Democrats, President Trump is preserving the legacy of Charlie Kirk.

“Marvel Rivals” please they’re called Batmen

Zohran Mamdani doesn’t make me, an American Jew, feel unsafe. Having the Coast Guard, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, decide that a swastika isn’t really a symbol of hate? That makes me, an American Jew, feel pretty damn unsafe.

Anyone: How are you? Me, waking up every day in 2025:

wearing a mask in, at the very least, public indoor spaces (grocery stores, pharmacies, transit, healthcare) is one of the most basic forms of allyship you can offer disabled people you’re forced share space with.

God Kael would've been such a good poster

I still want a newspaper to do an Impeachable Offense of the Day column. It would get a lot of attention and frankly be quite easy to do.

not sure I even need to say this, but Trump threatening the lives of Ds in Congress is in itself an impeachable offense for which he should be removed.

Seasonal affective or general malaise or a combo therein?

Cops create so much more danger on the road than they solve, just like every other aspect of policing.

As funny as the sycophancy is, I do think we should stop interacting with Elon's lil chatbot

istg every tech guy wants their Steve Jobs iPhone announcement moment and the best any of them can do is "what if we tape the phone to your fridge?" "What if we tape it to your car?" "What if we tape it to a front door??"

Something I’ve been thinking about lately (re: “cancel culture”, the “free speech”/“platform censorship” people, and more), is that if we get through this cultural moment we really need to come up with a rhetorical move to shut these kinds of obviously disingenuous claims down

President Trump has called for Democrats to be executed for sedition. The voters expect Democrats to come to the table with a real counter-proposal and negotiate a mutually acceptable compromise. That’s doing politics the right way. -Ezra Klein, New York TImes

I think the story of the last century or so of politics is that sustained backlashes against parties are basically extinct. We went from the Democrats being shut out of power for decades after the Civil War to Watergate only keeping Republicans out of the White House for four years

I'm a trans person w/ a trans kid & we lose trans siblings every year to hateful violence. On Trans Day of Remembrance we're called not only to collectively mourn those we've lost, but to renew our commitment to keep fighting for those who are still here. #tdor 🏳️‍⚧️ Art by @thefoxfisher.bsky.social
