My power is out due to 40 mph wind gusts I’m a little high I’m on the couch with my dog I’m having a lot of emotions about the band Great Grandpa

A lot of people expect more from Chappell Roan than they do from their own elected officials

it's genuinely fascinating to me that "you cannot facilitate a genocide against a people and still expect their vote" is too advanced for some analysts to understand.

Finally got my ass off Spotify but…what’s up with the artist bios on Apple Music? I swear most of them are wildly out of date

Support @autonomynews.co, where your donations actually fund journalism instead of lining an executive’s pocket

Going to Costco two days before Christmas pray for me

there is one and only one political strategy, and that is: “hang trump like an anchor around the neck of every single elected republican and the party itself.” no ‘friends across the aisle.’ no ‘the fever will break.’ anyone not on board with that has to go. no exceptions

Do I know the South Euclid Panera has possibly the worst fast casual dining experience of all time? YES! Do I continue to show up there twice a year for some of that delicious mac and cheese hoping something will change? YES! I don’t even know what flavor soda I’m drinking but it’s not Dr Pepper!!

Nothing like a trip to eyeball urgent care to remind you how important it is to have health insurance!! I’m fine, but anyway, donate to the @autonomynews.co end-of-year campaign to help @susanrinkunas.com and I stay insured next year: bit.ly/autonomynews

I don’t understand how you can be no-contact and also a doormat

If we are banning cell phones for kids we need to be talking about banning chatbots for boomers www.persuasion.community/p/my-chatgpt...

NEW: The controversial interim CEO of Planned Parenthood Southeast floated ending in-clinic abortion procedures and spoke of dropping abortion care altogether. Leader of the affiliate serving Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi remains in her role after an investigation that sources call a "farce."

When the obituaries are written for the American Experiment, significant space will be devoted to how both major political parties burned the country to the ground to prop up a genocidal regime on the other side of the world.

imo if you want to get back in power your slogan should be "If you elect us we will prosecute everyone in government who has violated the law"

Great way to describe standing in a deep hole I guess

When I’m president I’m abolishing encores. No more of this fake game at shows. You play your full set and that’s it, we don’t have to scream in order for you to come back on and play 2-3 songs you already planned to play.

All the solidarity to North Dakotan abortion seekers and everyone that provides care and helps people access abortion. Support the abortion funds and practical support networks that show up for North Dakotans: Prairie Abortion Fund, @iwrising.bsky.social, and Midwest Access Coalition.

Anyone posted this one yet?

I usually call these people parasites who are ruining neighborhoods but I have a new strategy. (I bought my house for 76k.)

Saw someone on the internet comment “MY GOD DOES NOT MAKE MISTAKES” on a post about the importance of Vitamin K shots for newborns. Is your logical conclusion there that a baby who dies from a brain bleed was supposed to die? God set that up on purpose? I CANNOT with these people

Crystal is one of the best people, hands down. My blood type probably rules me out as a donor for them, but I registered as an interested living donor in case a paired donation would be an option. You can do the same!

The reason people think the Democratic Party doesn't actually stand for anything is because it doesn't.

Me way too frequently: did this band go to undergrad with me for real or just…spiritually

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

I know to a degree this is just how women are socialized to try and connect with one another but this older lady on my street tells me “you’ve lost so much weight” every time she sees me and 1) it’s not true and 2) I’m concerned she thinks I’m someone else but I don’t know WHO

I appreciate that people in local lost pet FB groups want to protect animals but commenting “BEWARE OF PEOPLE WHO JUST WANT IT FOR DOG FIGHTING” on a photo of a lost *Newfoundland* is a sign you need to touch grass

I hope this comparison doesn’t invite a similar legacy but man seeing Zohran win is kinda what it felt like seeing Obama win in 2008

a trans girl in vermont was kicked off her swimming team and committed suicide and at the very same time, the discourse in d.c. today is about whether the democratic party should’ve abandoned her sooner in order to win votes a day in an american life

The "now that they're suffering too, right wing voters will learn and we must reach out to them" rhetoric is starting and I need people to be so fucking for real

(As with boygenius I do believe the tall one and the little one are in love!!)

boygenius everywhere for those with the eyes to see

I know what a lot of my favorite podcasters look like but I don’t want to know about Michael Hobbes. Because in my head he’s like a short twink Ryan Seacrest with incredible thighs and I just want to keep that image I’m sorry

We also do accountability reporting that's sorely lacking in this space—stories that other repro-focused publications wouldn't touch with a 10-foot pole. Notably, workers trust us to tell these stories.

Man I think the lesson the DNC needs to take from this is not that we need more geriatric centrist candidates but that Platner’s campaign platform was so popular it made the secret king of bad vibes mountain a serious contender

Hell is real and all the devils are driving I-71

You shouldn’t be allowed to go straight from undergrad into a graduate/professional degree program for a field in which you’ll work with the public (law, medicine, social work, education, etc). You have to go be a regular guy for a little while.

It should be illegal to get an MFA directly out of undergrad

I think I know the answer but WHY TF does my councilman, who is running unopposed, have yard signs and billboards?

Would love a follow-up to this about PPGOH’s patient no-show rates after the nav team got laid off. My hunch is that they’ve gone up.

Since we last shared an update on bargaining, we’ve received additional information about management salaries at Rewire. The TLDR: The pay discrepancy between management and union members is deeply unsettling.

She’s left us no choice. It’s time for Isaac Chotiner to interview Bari Weiss.

Do I go see a band I don’t know at all tonight bc I have a crush on the opener y/n

Niche Cleveland posting but how on EARTH did Ideastream and CSU think the whole sudden takeover of a beloved college radio station (to replace it with smooth jazz no less) was gonna go? Like how much do you have to have your head up the ass of millionaires to not see the backlash coming a mile away?

chat, is saying you want to destroy a computer program the same as genocide?

Wtf Guards

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

The former Fox News weekend co-host summoned America’s top generals to leave their posts around the world and fly to Virginia at the expense of millions of taxpayer dollars to hear a lecture that could have been a videoconference. Here’s why it’s time to cut funding for cancer research.
