It was nice to feel positive about political currents for *checks notes* a little less than 5 days

So… yeah, the snark from yesterday (What did Watson & Crick discover? Rosalind Franklin’s notes) was far more accurate than snark.

Mamdani is going to institute birria law. Mandatory delicious beef tacos for all.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

just thinking about billionaires panicking because all their money couldn't stop mamdani and that warms my heart

TOAD WILL NOW DANCE, AND HE WILL BE WONDERFUL.

I am so glad this week is over. I feel like my confidence has been obliterated.

I somehow completely missed that the court is deciding today if they're going to hear a case about Obergefell and I mean this as fully as I can when I say I hope Kim Davis has the shittiest day she possibly can

While i think we are overestimating exactly how this regime will be enshrined in history, the fact that it denied its poorest families food in the biggest food month of the year will probably indeed get its own breakout box in a textbook if not a whole chapter.

This week I got really sick with the worst timing possible- two season launch meetings at work and *fucking tech week* for the show I've been stage managing. The actual stuff of my nightmares. But somehow I got lucky and have good support systems that knew it was better for me to rest and recover-

Cheney croaked, Zohran won, and sandwich guy is free. All time great week imo.

As a headsup for anyone on Vyvanse, you should go check your lot numbers. www.health.com/adhd-medicat...

BRING BACK HERMAN MELVILLE AND NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE BECAUSE WE NEED THEIR TAKES ON THIS

Y'all if you're a full ass adult having a bad day Whip out an old I Spy book They hold up. With DELIGHT

this looks like a trick daffy duck would put up to get bugs bunny into "the oval office"

Having OCD and being sick is like: *googles symptoms* "What if people think I'm faking it?" "What if I'm not actually sick?" "What if my boss doesn't mean it when she strongly encourages me to take off work to rest" "What if I'm just so good at faking it, I've even convinced myself that I'm sick"

Dick Cheney has died. "boom!" by system of a down (2002)

Cheney was so evil that him dying actually lifted a curse

JUST IN: Mamdani, a democratic socialist and state assemblymember, will make history as the first Muslim and South Asian person — as well as the youngest in over a century — to serve as New York City mayor.

I'm happy that Mamdani won. But I won't let that get in the way of my celebrating Cuomo losing.

BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani wins the New York City mayoral race, NBC News projects. nbcnews.to/4nIzNUC

(to the tune of Eleanor Rigby) 🎶socialist muslim🎶

I gotta give it up to the writers tho. If NYC elects a Muslim mayor on the day Dick Cheney died, that is one hell of a slow played story arc. Every time you want to fire 2025's writers room they give you a little narrative resolution as a treat.

Apparently all you needed to do to predict the NYC election results was read that one N.K. Jemisin novel.

Oh we libbing out????

You have to survive. There are graves to piss on that haven't been dug yet.

I am sick. I can deal with the cough and how much my lungs feel inflamed. I can deal with the tiredness and voice cracks. What is driving me up the fucking wall, however, is that my LEGS HURT. I hate it so much I wish they wouldn't

If you're able to get chicken breasts or pork chops on sale (they go down to like $1.99/lb here), throw it in an instant pot with Herdez salsa verde and serve over rice If you can swing it, adding a can of diced tomatoes, a chopped potato, and onion fancies it up. It freezes well!

What I learned about cooking being dirt poor: -Onions and garlic are the basis of all flavor. -Save your bacon grease! -Take extra condiment packets when you eat out. -Learn to cook cheap, non-meat proteins: Peanut butter, tofu, beans. -Learn to make a roux. Easy & turns into many sauces and soups.

i hope this is how you find out about dick cheney

most star watch responses: "read!! read widely!!! don't lose your love of books!!!" mine: "for gods sakes, help each other" ...this probably explains why I've only read 5 books this year

My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings. Look on my works and let me know if you have any questions! 🤗

they set the army against people trying to end company stores

This timeline manages to be both gravely horrific and deeply unserious at the same time.

A writer tried dating alt-right men as an experiment to learn about them. There is so much going on here I don't even know where to start www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/love-sex/...

I really, really fucking hate admitting defeat.

I've had a crush on you since the 90's, Emma. You didn't have to go so hard making me love you.

Finally got a chance to dip up north to visit my friend and help her settle into their new house and now it's time for potato soup and buffy Halloween episodes

I forgot this was going to be a thing and I am need it to be mid-November now so I'll finally have time for it

I mean, I had to

Somewhere, Taylor Swift is writing a new song with the lyrics "broke down my walls like they were the in the East Wing"

$250 million to build that stupid ballroom while Alaska is asking for $20 million EPA & FEMA funds to be released for their devastation if you're not realizing you're looking at a poor man's excuse of a King Louis XIV in the face, i'm not sure you have eyes anymore

A reminder that, if you have a baby and you live somewhere that gets cold, it’s actually legally required for their hats and hoods to have little animal ears!

what do you know, I’m just a bad believer 💘 #CriticalRoleCampaign4

“doesn’t have nazi tattoos” is actually an even lower bar than it appears at face value when you realize that most artists (correctly) won’t even *do* nazi tattoos, so you kind of have to go out of your way to find someone willing if you decide you want one.

I honestly think that trying to legislate what was in Platner's heart and what/when he understood is a trap. It doesn't matter to me. It's actually okay to just go, "man I'd love to believe you've changed but I'm going to need to see proof of it in a place with lower stakes than the US Senate"
