I can still remember the days when Trump was only in the Epstein files 38,000 times instead of over 1,000,000. Oh wait that was yesterday.

This is important. It was bad enough when moderators were being traumatized by disturbing material created by people. Now we're traumatizing people by exposing them to COMPLETELY FAKE AND UNNECCESSARY MATERIAL. Shut it all down.

I’m rereading Wuthering Heights for the first time in decades, and feeling quite a lot more sympathetic towards Heathcliff than usual because Nelly’s account of his arrival sounds SO much like he’s literally a feral fey dragged home as a trophy of some game won against a fairy queen.

As someone else said on my previous post, we may want to question the culture that encourages athletes, male or female, to compete at all costs. That's fair. But to hold Vonn to some higher standard and expect her to sacrifice her earned spot for the "greater good" strikes me as sexist.

“There,” said Toad. “Now my day is all written down.”

The radical and unrealistic position of "no concentration camps" The reasonable moderate position of "some concentration camps in certain circumstances"

It only took them 12 months to build massive concentration camps all over the USA. You’d think there would be more uproar, but no. No one cares unless it’s in their backyard.

Small dog suffers broken rib after being repeatedly kicked by U.S. Marshals deputy. "Action News 5 obtained two videos that show the marshals service employee kicking Yoshi not once, but twice." www.actionnews5.com/2026/02/07/d...

part of me still can't believe the East Wing was completely destroyed and there have been no negative consequences or reports on whether items inside were properly archived or not

In my experience, talent is a *detriment* to learning. I didn't have to practice early on so I *didn't know how*. I didn't start to learn how to practice until my 30s! (When much of my life was taken up with parenting, so I didn't have time!) I didn't start to improve as a musician until my 40s!

@brocklesnitch.bsky.social I just saw your post about a lesbian Heated Rivalry that takes place on The Bachelor and I literally narrated an audiobook like that libro.fm/audiobooks/9...

ICE has grabbed so many people from their vehicles that there are abandoned cars across Minnesota. This tow truck driver returns the cars for free as a public service, and he’s been getting death threats. They hate the helpers. Which is why must keep helping.

they were worried an investigation would publicly contradict the president’s lie so they just didn’t do an investigation

i should have listened more carefully to smashmouth when they warned me that the years would start coming and would not stop coming

BREAKING: Peter Mandelson just sent this secret notice to all UK media, demanding they leave him alone. He uses IPSO clauses designed to support grieving families in a bid to stop scrutiny of his relationship with Epstein We have published it in full. www.thenational.scot/news/2583451...

I mean GOD DANG bsky.app/profile/dann...

all politicians will break your heart but every time i see a clip of mayor mamdani enjoying being a human person amongst other human persons it makes me think about how, fundamentally, socialism is about joy.

Working people are worried about how AI will impact their job and their future. That’s why 80% of Americans want common-sense guardrails for AI. Decisions that lawmakers make now will impact workers for years to come, and they must protect working people.

ICE must be reined in. In Texas and everywhere else: Vote out the GOP, who are letting them run rampant.

"But what about China?" has been a throwaway comment made many times to justify inaction on climate change or criticise decarbonisation policies. Well China is now by far the world's largest manufacturer, installer, and user of clean energy technologies.

Donald Trump Jr, who has exactly zero experience or competence in manufacturing or defense, has received more than $600,000,000 in contracts from Pete Hegseth's "Department of War."

go off jack white

Look, I haven’t watched this new show, but the algorithm sent me a clip of this baby awkwardly introducing himself and telling a joke (which was good! I laughed) to his non-Klingon peers and I went full PROTEC Mode. He was precious. Will stab any of the other kids if they are mean to him.

Strongly recommend NOT getting shingles.

King: anyway back to the dead zone King: it's also about this evil politician who sees consequences after harming a child Barker: oh i didn't know this was science fiction! Shelley: HA! Shelley: see, now THAT'S a joke Shelley: i wouldn't fuck a guy for that joke but still

Oh, lord, having the safe sex talk. Yes, you CAN get an STD. Not only can, but likely will because ya Boomers are messy-sloppy when you think you're excused from pregnancy. (the chlamydia rate in some assisted livings is astronomical.)

Powerful white men once equated Black people with monkeys to justify their abduction, deportation, enslavement, lynching and segregation. The heinous image that Trump shared is explicit racism. There is no nowhere for his supporters to hide. Supporting him is incompatible with basic human decency.

Donald Trump is: - Openly racist - Covering up evidence he may have sexually abused children - Directly responsible for the murder of US citizens by masked agents of the state - Openly looting the treasury and taking bribes from foreign leaders - Polling at 38% amongst the American people

Oh hell's teeth. This is bad news.

Documents show RFK Jr lied to Congress about his agenda in Samoa—he did indeed go to spread anti-scientific doubts about vaccines. He was ultimately successful in getting an outbreak going there that killed 83 people, mostly babies and young children.

welp, this destroyed me first thing upon waking up

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”

Make bad art! But make art!! Art good!! Making art good!!

centuries pass and still it sings. what a gift it is, how time flattens under the weight of a practiced voice. how irreplaceable

I was already a hard "fuck you, no" on this movie over what they did to Melissa Barrera and didn't think I could tell it to go fuck itself more, but boy oh boy did they find a slop way Anyway fuck off, Scream 7

I’m not sure we’ve properly addressed how profoundly disturbing it is that America can largely shrug at the stashing of human beings in giant warehouses.

Welp, started the day by flashing by boobs at a handsome young man who gave me a load of drugs in return! …because I have shingles. And they hurt.

Facebook Memories has just reminded me that I drew this nine years ago. Plus ca change.

‘One officer told me that I "had no chance of returning to Minnesota" and that "the best thing for (me] is self-deportation." … She offered me $2600 to self-deport. I refused. I wanted to talk to my attorney. They didn't tell me the judge had already ordered my release and return to Minnesota.’

Finding mankind utterly shameless, I go back into my well.

getting drinks with my friend last night, I asked if she's seen Heated Rivalry. she screamed HEATED RIVALRY? I WATCHED IT TWICE. then as I'm paying the tab, a guy sitting at the bar said to me quietly, "I also really liked Heated Rivalry." good for her. good for him. good for all of us. God bless.

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

Really nuts how many men were like "Me Too went too far, and I need to email Jeffrey Epstein about it."

We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”

I am here going to suggest you get Dil or No Dil, the short story collection, because it contains the best romance short I have ever read (Jesse's Girl, a stone cold classic riff on Jolene) and IMO Suleikha is the best short-form romance writer working today. goodreads.com/book/show/41...

Gorton and Denton really matters for the entire country. It's the Green Party Vs Reform. I spoke to the Standard about how we're making hope normal again. www.standard.co.uk/news/politic...
