A single mom who works too hard Who loves her kids and never stops

"This reads like a mashup of IT and Lord of the Flies with a bit of a crime thriller edge. It’s disturbing, often graphic, and leans into the idea that growing up isn’t just inevitable, it’s something that takes from you." - Early Reviewer Preorder: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/803654...

We’ve been eagerly preparing for just such an occasion.

The Groundhog awoke the morning of February 2nd 2026 and opened his social media to a newsfeed rife with stories of the debauchery of the Ruling Class and man’s inhumanity toward man.(1/3)

“Doctors won’t tell you this, but you don’t need medication for a tapeworm—all you need is the natural power of friction,” Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said as he dropped to the floor, lifted his legs high, and dragged his ass along the White House carpet during a press conference.

Excited to see this one:

Due to the snowpocalypse, we will be closed today. Our sincerest apologies to the inevitable young white dude who'd show up wearing only shorts & a hoodie

Going rogue here to say, even if we're open tomorrow for some insane reason, please stay home.

How I’m entering 2026:

Oh come all ye fearful—!

Gotta say, as a survivor, I’m not super loving this thing where the Department of Justice is running a cover-up of evidence the President sexually abused minors.

We have a couple of changes for our holiday hours. Tonight. Dec. 23rd, we will stay open until midnight. Tomorrow, 12/24, we open at 10am & close promptly at 6. We then resume our regular hours of 10am to 11pm on Fri, Dec 26th

Speaking of the holidays, you known what makes a great stocking stuffer, even for people who don't celebrate? That's right, a whistle.

Though they've always had a presence & office in our city, it's been confirmed there are now at least a couple hundred of them in town. Please, look out for each other & remember, we keep us safe

John Oliver really was not kidding about the overwhelming rebellious power of just saying “Fuck you, make me.”

"We're running out of good ideas" Who's we, slop boy?

Temperatures are brutal put there. Please, be careful. Of course, warming centers aren't a solution to a systemic problem but they can save lives.

WE ARE DOING A BEST OF 2025 ACCORDING TO BETH THREAD. These are in no order! 1. GOOD BOY This movie made me cry three times and the second last line of dialogue is gut-wrenching.
