"Ummm, you're really showing your Informed Citizen privilege and it's honestly bigoted against people who purposely avoid the news"

Also the next somebody says reparations for black people is a ridiculous idea, remind them that we have a reparations program for trying to overthrow the government

Post a meme made by you. (I always post this one but it's always relevant)

Ai enthusiasts be like

Also might have been the first ad campaign to market to the gay dollar on the sly (or someone in the ad department was having fun)

This morning I rediscovered this inscription in a copy of Selections from Leaves of Grass gifted to me at least 15 years ago. The lines are from Walt Whitman's Shut Not Your Doors whitmanarchive.org/item/ppp.016...

Hi You don't have to like mother's day, and you don't have to like your mother

Marjorie Taylor Green isn’t a known antisemite because she criticizes Israel, she’s a known antisemite because of all the talk about secret cabals, Jewish space lasers, Great Replacement theory, and Jews killing Jesus. Hope this helps some leftists who are mad at AOC for being right about her today

Hell, someone told me today I should call the media because they legitimately thought they were the first people in US history to have their constitutional rights violated. I swear to G-d they thought it had never happened before. And I really think this is a big factor in why we're here.

they refuse to support nationwide fair districting, not because it would confer any partisan advantage at this point, but because they have a doctrinal opposition to black people having elected representation. it's not a means to an end, it is the end in and of itself

sorry Allen Ginsberg, sorry, i'm trying to delete it www.qwantz.com/index.php?co...

Yes YES

Headline: America Got Your Nose, Trump Says Subhead: Tissue and decongestant stocks soared on the news Eighth paragraph: Experts questioned if the United States had achieved full nose possession. “I can see it on the face right now. Trump is sticking his thumb between his fingers,” one explained.

Executing a plan you're already familiar with will be easier than trying to establish and follow a plan in a moment of crisis. Losing access to psych meds will be horrific, and I don't want to diminish that. No matter what it will be bad. But you can reduce harm in many cases

Exceptionally real talk How familiar are you with your psych meds? Do you know how to (most) safely come off of them if it becomes necessary? Soon when you speak with your prescriber, in addition to asking about a more robust supply than usual, ask for resources on coming off of your meds

Well, if it’s 5 May... YES, THAT’S RIGHT! It’s the 52nd anniversary of Kenneth Tynan’s diary entry in which he recounts the not entirely sensible decision to have a vodka enema. (content warning: just nasty)

I don't actually mind ageing. I was born to be a forty year old. All those other ages were bad or else I was bad at them. Forty is easy you just be yourself

As art and entertainment (if not merchandising potential or commodification), all the best star wars exists in novel form

This idea that there's some "real" version of Tucker who doesn't actually believe his most loathsome stated beliefs is a luxury you can only afford if you're not the target of those beliefs.

Now that I've maintained a bullet journal for four full months I actually feel like I can say it's a thing I'm doing without fearing I'll soon fail at follow through It has been and continues to be a really great practice for me

Essentially Google and a few other big tech companies have made fantastic profits but the consequence is we have destroyed the existence of the free press as an institution capable of being a check on power and corruption, leading us inexorably into fascism and oligarchy. So, pluses and minuses.

One of the most clarifying passages I've ever read on what "polarization" actually means in the U.S."

we all have our vices and i'm a hypocrite for judging them like this but "bringing back smoking" is an idea periodically floated by the dumbest people alive whose only real belief is edgelordism. i am totally unwilling to hedge on or reconsider this opinion

It's a music theorist insult. It's devastating. You're devastated right now

niche local political issue update: they’re self-censoring the word “library” over on nextdoor for secret reasons

Least streamed from Parade is "Life Can Be So Nice" Home of the line "my love 4 u, baby, drips" We don't deserve to survive as a species

won a library week raffle and got to pick the swag so I now have my own bookwyrm sweatshirt

Decades ago, I played a game called "Sam & Max Hit the Road." Early on, one of the characters reaches into a cartoon-style mouse hole in the wall, and pulls out an item that's just a massive wad of cash. The item description was "It's more money than you'll ever need." More games should do that.
