A sane country.

Feeling a glimmer of hope 🥂🍾

Keep picturing Patel dropping the casings in terror after reading “if you read this youre gay”

Seems bad that my economist relative and all his colleagues are sending me gifs of a dumpster on fire

Cannot tell you how much relief I'm feeling that both known sexual harassers lost their races for public office in New York.

Zohran Mamdani is the only democrat in the mayoral race that released an LGBTQ platform and the only democrat in the country (that I know of) to commit to safeguarding gender affirming care for youth + adults with $$.

It’s incredible Zohran won but it’s been so long I can’t remember how to behave/respond to “good news.” I keep screaming “attaboy!” really close to people’s faces and we just opened a bottle of olive oil?

The Zohran Mamdani win is giving me hope for the future

As has been observed by others, those of us who thought our generation was cool were thinking of the counterculture part of GenX, not the majority To paraphrase the late John Prine, Your Nirvana Shirt Won't Get You Into Heaven Anymore

french can't properly convey how bad the situation is. you're running around telling people "Les carottes sont cuites"?

If you search for "AA meetings (city,)" Google gives you the 988 suicide hotline warning with the help is available popup. I worry that this is preventing people who would benefit from checking out a meeting for the first time from attending. Having a substance use disorder is common!

A/P 18 Jun 25 -- Surprising no one, in US v Skrmetti Supreme Court reads around the plain black letter meaning the equal protection clause which requires the government to treat similarly situated people the same way claiming (falsely) that there is "fierce scientific debate" about affirming care.

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

Horrible news from SCOTUS today.

A reminder to reporters, when historians look back on this moment with the president throwing himself a military parade and the people throwing No Kings rallies across America, the media sources raving about the former and sneering at the latter are going to be quoted by name. This is your legacy!

Sleepy cat

I know posting "the girls are fighting" seems funny, but it's actually insensitive and shitty. My father died in a girl fight. He tried to break it up and the girls pulled him apart like freshly baked bread. He didn't even scream. One moment he was there, the next just a spray of dad viscera.

The girls are fiiiiiighting!

No skrmetti ruling today?

Happy Pride y'all!

🚨🚨EXTREMELY IMPORTANT BREAKING NEWS. WORLD’s TALLEST DOG MEETS WORLD’S SMALLEST DOG 🚨🚨

I want a 6000-word magazine feature on all the FUs this man dropped before heading to the pearly gates

Touching grass is not enough I need to fly 1000 miles north while quacking nonstop with hundreds of other ducks

did you know it's actually possible for an old rich white guy to NOT be a piece of shit

I'm actually posting from beyond the grave because I died from laughing so hard at this

is the word “tomorrow” unnecessarily haunting and beautiful in every language or just the couple with which i have any passing familiarity

Very sad to learn that Virginia Giuffre has died by suicide. She was just 41. Virginia was perhaps the most well-known survivor of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s predation. I’ve had four other Epstein survivors tell me they would not have come forward if not for Virginia’s courage.

Does anyone have an ID for the dots on this pine tree in Monterey, California?

Breaking News: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is said to have shared detailed information about forthcoming strikes in Yemen on March 15 in a private Signal group chat that included his wife, brother and personal lawyer.

I couldn't help but wonder - was everyone besides me getting state secrets about bombing the Houthis in a signal chat?

I try to ignore that muppet but the "autistic people will never write a poem" thing did make me laugh. Like, oh, buddy. Have we got some news for you about some of the most celebrated poets of all time

We're here in PYLUSD. The room is standing room only - the anti-trans activists have shown up in force to support Leandra and push for trans exclusionary policies. There's a fair number of 🏳️‍⚧️ supporters too - rainbow pins are being passed around. Follow along as we cover public comments tonight.

Again, these are the people who say WE are weird about gender

The Dow Jones is a dumb index that should die. It doesn't mean anything and no financial professionals use it. Let's post photos of the S&P instead, which is also falling off a cliff 😭

Genuinely have no idea what's going on

"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥

Two anti-trans bills, AB 844 and AB 89, failed to make it out of committee today, defeated 2-7. It's good to see that despite Newsom's recent failings, this is still California and people still showed up to shut this down.

NYT connections, go home, you're drunk.
