And how the fuck does the media keep getting away with this passive voice bullshit? Oh, Iran got a lifeline? Did they just find it under a tree? Couldn't be that earth's stupidest coward sold everyone out, could it?

So much winning ...

How the fuck do we have $300 billion to rebuild Iran after we spent $80 billion bombing it, when we don’t “have the money” for pediatric cancer research?

Fwiw - “The Immigrant” is neither horror nor political in nature; it’s a sweet little fairy tale, inspired by a bit of family lore from a very dear friend (who prefers to remain anonymous) ❤️ www.amazon.com/Immigrant-Mo...

Hello! 👋 I'm hoping to raise money for two Bay Area cat rescues. If you post a screenshot of you donating at least $20, I will answer a style-related question for you. But first, let me tell you about the rescues, why they're worthy of your support, and hopefully get you to adopt a cat. 🧵

What fresh hell is this?

THIS!

You know what's fucking critical for kids learning? Not being hungry.

One of the most pernicious things about evolutionary psychology is the implication that the flaws in our society are the natural order of things, and not subject to change

hot take: women are less likely to use AI because we’re quick to clock flattery as a tool of manipulation

Hey @cheriepriest.com, this video about the link between menopause and histamines is fascinating www.instagram.com/reel/DXzvnfp...

This!

I don't want a motherfucking ballroom, especially since I'll never be invited to use it, and neither will 98% of US citizens. I want USAID. And NIH. And NSB. And NASA. I want free breakfast and lunch for school kids. I want healthcare for all.

Posting both an iconic blonde* AND a movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs. *Debbie Reynolds had light brown hair in this movie but became an iconic blonde soon after 💁🏼‍♀️

One time I was in a room with a lot of male feminists who were talking so LOUDLY ABOUT THEIR FEMINISM that the other woman in the room and I couldn't get a word in. I texted my friend about it since I couldn't talk and she replied: HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY. Which it was. This pic is that.

Can anyone *LA area only* adopt them? I just don't want them to end up in a kill shelter. Share, RT, ask around... thanks!

ActBlue donors can request refunds if they donated to Swalwell’s campaign. Pass it on.

Now send JD Vance to run the publicity team for the new Harry Potter series.

The famous Andor line is that "tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle." Here is a perfect example of that through malicious compliance: Idaho forced the city of Boise to remove its Pride flags. So the city painted rainbows everywhere else.

Blaming all this on a society-wide moral defect may be satisfying but it misses the danger ahead for EVERYONE. Rapacious capitalism, oligarchs, religious nuts, tech surveillance, mass media manipulation, propaganda, and nihilism aren’t limited to American shores.

Heads up everyone. Some of these fires 🔥 are barely controllable already. Fire season set to start a month early this year. Already short of firefighters and pre season mitigation work.

Such a mystery 🧐

OMG, perfect

We’re on strike today! Support our fight for a fair contract by NOT visiting the @propublica.org website or engaging with ProPublica stories today. Tell ProPublica’s management you won’t cross the picket line: actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...

So pro-life means jailing women who miscarry but shrugging when the deranged president says “a whole civilization will die tonight.” Do I have that right?

I’m in DC today, ready and able to vote to rein in this out-of-control war. Republicans control the Senate and the House – they need to have the courage to call us back into session and then vote to hold this President accountable.

Hey @cheriepriest.com new Washington bees (with pics)! 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝 agr.wa.gov/about-wsda/n...

NASA isn't why the US doesn't have universal healthcare, or a social safety net. The US doesn't have those things because politicians with the power to provide them choose specifically not to (with varying levels of support from voters). Enthusiasm for human spaceflight doesn't drive that choice.
