Yes, the Grink was there. I'm getting to that. He was on that island with me. And I wouldn't be alive to tell my story without him.

a weird belief that is held across basically all sectors of American life is that boy dollars and boy votes are better than girl dollars and girl votes and so if you have a lot of the latter you need to be constantly trying to exchange them for the former

Its not a business! It’s a public good! And it’s not “running out of money,” either. Republicans deliberately created this illusion by requiring USPS to prefund pensions *75 years* into the future. Literally no other agency (or business, lol) requires this.

My hottest “I have no data to back this up” take is that phones aren’t making young people less happy. What’s making them less happy is living in a world where everyone is having their reality defined by recommendation algorithms that can only care about whether something keeps you watching.

do you want "Catholicism but american" we invented that, it's called Episcopalianism and it's even more woke. all the priests are lesbians. good luck

If you feel the compulsion to look at your phone, download the Libby app and download a fun or trashy book. Suddenly phone virtuous even??

guy who converted to Catholicism out of love for hierarchy and the ancient traditions of an institution that is famously in the world but not of it: ok Mr “pope” idk who the fuck you think you are but just war theory since Augustine has always allowed white phosphorous munitions

I do not agree with Mr. Lucky politically. But I love his hustle

Melania: I never cut child in half with sword. I never do this. The entire USA: what? Melania: not me.

Genuinely one of the coolest things I've ever seen a cultural venue post

My point is that congressional hearings and votes are news. Campaign messaging is not. Republicans figured this out years ago. Democrats keep treating official government functions like distractions from the "real" strategy instead of recognizing they ARE the strategy.

Is Trump going to get impeached and removed from office? No, of course not. But Jesus Christ, guys. What the fuck is wrong with you, Schumer and Jeffries?

"Surely Minnesotans won't fight back," racists in 1863 and 2026

Minneapolis saw eviction filings increase by 60% from the same time last year. @homelinemn.org correctly attributes the low eviction numbers prior to March to massive mutual aid efforts. Neighbors raised millions for rental assistance during Operation Metro Surge. buff.ly/sKBXfgs

I did not spend years being told that as a poor teen mom I was responsible for the downfall of society to be told that having *fewer* poor teen moms is the downfall of society. Teen moms can’t win!

Berate people and then when they agree with you embrace them like they are brothers

If you have peacock watch The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins. I am having a giggle fest

I never tire of pointing out that multiple shows did "Oh, my old friend is trans? That's interesting!" episodes in the '70s and '80s, and while none of these hold up by modern representation standards, they're all quite good and accepting in a way you might not expect.

It's not blurred, it doesn't cut off. It's just a clear video of a man beating a woman to death with a hammer. Posted by the president of the United States.

The TLDR is Hennepin County Commissioners don’t care about Northsiders getting cancer!

There is a huge turkey on a TEAR running down Wheelock parkway. Extremely funny to behold. Where’s the fire man

Why I don't trust anyone a little too obsessed about falling fertility rates

Look, sometimes you just gotta call a press conference to say this! 👍

A core feature of the internet

Why'd the Confederates fight? They told us

Two reminders: First, Robert E. Lee was never a general in an army recognized by the United States. You can annoy all the right people by referring to him as Col. Robert E. Lee, his actual rank. Second, the primary flag of the Confederacy is the white one of surrender. To wit:

BREAKING: Following the American threat of an “Avignon Papacy,” Robert Kennedy has begun a Diet of Worms

Happy Appomattox Day to all that celebrate

Beware chatty white men at the Finnish Bistro

I beg you to stop screenshotting and quoting the dumbest posts on the protocol, I have just this one human life and I want to see your posts and not theirs

Behold our beautiful and brave colleague, murdered today! You know the drill, unfortunately, so… Say his name: Mohammed Wishah, Al Jazeera reporter, killed today in Gaza. US-Israel has assassinated nearly 300 journalists in Palestine, Lebanon and Iran in just 2 years. إِنَّا لِلَّٰهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ

*lights cigarette* ahhhh

One other thing: I didn’t understand before I got here how geographically proximate the murders of George Floyd, Renee Good, and Alex Pretti were. From my mom’s old house, it wasn’t more than 5 minutes between the memorials. Did some crying in public today.

It's crazy to think that amid all the planets encircling all those stars, we probably live on the only one that has penguins or a lemonade that kills you

I genuinely can't stop thinking about the Iranian kids who spent yesterday wondering if they were all going to die and what that day will do to them for the rest of their lives.

Cool job alert

Can't help but notice that @rokhanna.bsky.social posted this to X, The Everything App but not here. I wonder why!

Absolutely devastating article on one little, beautiful, remarkable piece of what we lost to DOGE

this goes hard as fuck

WOIMSDAY

If the shoe were on the other foot, today the entire GOP would be singing from one hymn book on every single media platform LAMBASTING the Dem President who "lost" Iran. It's all we would be hearing and there would be hearings for 2 years.

NYC DSA re-endorses AOC with 86% voting yes, over 3000+ votes

Exactly how I feel about BJP supporters. The evidence has been there for decades now that what it stands for is Hindu upper caste supremacy. And for good measure, for all the Jagdish Bhagwatis out there, the economy is a shitshow and our international standing is shredded. Bigotry is killing India.

X just suspended an account for telling US soldiers, in first 365 days of service can GET OUT out just by reporting "failure to adapt" This will also apply to drafts, and may be useful information you can pass on As a foreigner (UK), I feel this must become something every American knows

This map from Al Jadeed TV shows where Israel has bombed Lebanon This is since last night only
