can’t stop imagining the grim reaper gaining on McConnell and then someone tossing Graham in his path like a blue shell in Mario kart

I love how every "DSA is taking America to the brink of destruction" take is immediately followed by Mamdani announcing free movies at cooling centers around the city

Don’t know who to credit for this. But it is how I feel.

The discord was lit today

I ran the Mitch McConnell photo through 4 AI image detectors. Two said it was real, two said it was AI. Outstanding technology.

The third act of A Christmas Carol, one of the most famous examples of "don't die a dickhead, " was the ghost showing Scrooge how happy everyone was that he died and it was a big motivator for him to stop being a piece of shit and still we got a bunch of dickhead Dems talking up Lindsey Graham

Captain Torture

remember, be careful what you post on a day like this. If you do it right, you can get illegally fired for being disrespectful to Lindsay Graham and then win a massive lawsuit about 10 months from now and retire with 2 million in your pocket

The only people who will mourn your death are the people you've done something kind for. And that's if you're lucky.

Our current call for submissions seeks fiction, poetry, and nonfiction about the cost of groceries, the weight of debt, and the decision you make when the means aren't there. Submit by July 15. glossyplanetmag.com/challenge/co...

I think about how many people lap at the boots of the rich, how they "deserve" their wealth for being smarter at this than anyone else, and all it is, is to exploit the work of the desperate and keep them there.

The problem with anime openings is, it'll be the most fun song to the SADDEST SHIT YOU'RE ABOUT TO EVER SEE IN YOUR LIFE!

I don't know how to explain this to the people who don't seem to get is but being abused and sexually assaulted by anyone, let alone your partner, is terrifying and traumatic to the person being abused and assaulted. I would say even moreso than the person doing the abuse and assault.

Theres a class element here, too. Its important that Platner is basically a rich kid cosplaying because it gives the kinds of people who have the power to boost someone in politics the fantasy of being able to be The Guy while at the same time not having to deal with anyone "trashy" or ethnic. 1/2

Looked like a cosplay poser! I keep saying we are suffering from a crisis of absentee white fatherhood! WE NEED TO CALL A THING A THING!

The poster is why you shouldn't work on graphics at 2am. I promise it's August, I just fucked up and did not double check.

Like do you see what I'm saying here? There's so many people in the United States of America that can be in these positions, but y'all keep rejecting them, not because of the actual fucked up things they did, but because they're NOT a white man you can have a beer with.

Like people talk about purity tests, but will find any reason not to vote for a woman, or a brown person, or a queer person, or a disabled person. YOU are the one with the purity test, friendo. I just want my representatives in government to think hate crimes are bad.

Literally Black folks saw the Nazi tattoo and immediately knew we couldn’t trust anything that man said

Noticing a lot of [thing I don't like] from [people who annoy me on the computer].

The ICE murder of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo deserves the same fury as Renee Good and Alex Pretti

Public education isn’t just reading, writing and arithmetic lol band, home economics, shop and sports are included in developmental education. Cut out all these travel leagues and sports club and invest the money in your local schools. That’s also where the actual talent is

Yes. I reject any framing of the Platner story as "progressive vs establishment" or "left vs center." The opposition to him has always been "he's obviously an unrepentant liar and a bad human being." His claimed policy positions were irrelevant, and he had no track record of believing them anyway.

I must reiterate that “Nazis bad” is a good red line to have, not merely morally but also strategically

It has been criminally underreported but Kelsey Pfendler has just rowed solo across the Pacific Ocean from the US coast to Hawaii in record time. A 2,400-mile unsupported journey in 43 days, 17 hours, and 55 minutes. Notably beating the Men’s record by 9 whole days.

We not making it to 300.

need you all to see this deeply indescribable cooking video

when i was young they had these people called “investigative journalists” who could find out stuff like if a senator was dead or not

I have not really talked about this guy for months because if we are being real he milkshake ducked A VERY LONG TIME AGO and I didn’t want to add to the discourse, but for god’s sake stop acting like men are owed massive power unless proven otherwise.

Rich kid who signed up for a war he opposed for the thrill. "But he's changed." Then he joined a death squad. "A man's gotta eat! Nazi tattoo. "Maybe he didn't know what it was!" Beatin' on women. "Well he didn't BEAT them per se..." Sure sounds like a rapist. "What a HORRIBLE accusation to make"

This whole Platner thing is wild. Shocking? No. Many many people saw this coming from MILES away, it's just wild they way people contorted themselves to pretend this wasn't coming. Or I dunno, maybe they genuinely didn't see it, because of whatever blinders you were born with, but still...

So me and these smoothies? We're in love. The last time I had energy this even was when I first started taking the Wellbutrin. Also when I first started taking the adderall. So I imagine it's going to take about 6 months before I have to up my smoothie dosage.

I promise I'd be less active and annoying on this app rn if this news hadn't broken immediately after I got off a video call with friends. I would also have MUCH meaner things to say in there. Because this could have been avoided forever ago.

Platner Hive, let's chat. pull up a chair & bring a spoon. because it's time to eat my ASS.

I would design, build, staff and launch 1001 ships for this woman.

Also how is "don't be a racist" perfectionism? That's like bare minimum! I don't understand this push to act like disrespecting other people's identities is so fucking hard.

I don't understand why people keep saying that folks are "looking for perfection" especially here. I hate to break it to you (no I don't) but if someone is willing to get a Nazi tattoo and run for public office without getting it changed or any real remorse, racism is but one of many issues.

One, because no Nazi shit. duh. That's a pretty easy line to draw. Two, because the Nazi shit is NEVER the only shit.

"Haha did you see their training videos they are all goofy and don't know how to do things" Motherfuckers let me tell you something. *Everyone* looks goofy when they are learning. Practice, especially in group actions, cannot be replaced.

So no, that's not how this works. If Platner withdraws from the race before July 13 at 5PM, Maine law allows the Maine Democratic Party to replace him with another candidate — one who doesn't have a Nazi tattoo and credible allegations of sexual assault.

They don't have one single solitary semi-personable bearded guy in the whole state of Maine who supports the same issues and isn't a Nazi? Rough times.

I would take - warmed over puke - a worker ant that got lost - a literal baby - a poster that says "hang in there"

💚PAID CASTING CALL (1M, 1 F)🖤 Deadline: July 19, 2026 at 11:59 PM EDT Payment: $350 USD flat Looking for a Hispanic VA and a transmasc Black VA to cast for my short aro visual novel, AroDynamics! You can find character bios, lines, and submission details here! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Like I’ve been saying no one EVER asks them, “What is it about the Nazis that appeals to you?” The uniforms? The haircuts? Give me the specifics of why you find yourself enraptured of them?

I have so many thoughts about why this is, and most of them are that some men don't understand how deep rooted the toxicity of their masculinity is.

applies to every field there is, the eternally relevant words of @carolineframke.bsky.social www.vox.com/culture/2017...

Supervillain where his power is white privilege.... wait.... Is that too real!? My bad, enjoy the rest of your day.

(You should probably listen to trans people telling you about Newsom before you get embarrassed twice.)
