It's always hilarious when a ~progressive~ US politician starts their 'shit's fucked' editorial with 'We used to be the envy of the world' like I'm sorry, but you clearly haven't talked to enough non-Americans in your life.

I can't even say it out loud or write it or think about it for more than 0.1 seconds because if I do it'll get stuck in my head oh no oh jeez here it goes

Can we just have like 24 hours where nothing happens anywhere

It's like living in an armpit

💔

I have to say 30 Rock is proving to be prescient way more often than I ever expected

Has anyone checked whether Mhichaehl Lhawhs has died and been reincarnated? Not only his vibes but also just his whole face.

I'm sorry EIGHTY DOLLARS for a leg of lamb?

Democrats try to reform American SS, surprising nobody.

Seminal cultural touchstones that have come up in therapy: 1. Don DeLillo's White Noise 2. Wendell Berry's The Peace of Wild Things 3. The 'you ruined a perfectly good monkey' tweet

What's a thing that is generally seen (by idk, your particular corner of the zeitgeist) as super tacky, but that you unironically love? Mine is glass bricks. Sure I can say it's about feeling like a Private Eye in the '70s, but I actually just think they're neat.

It's weird being an abolitionist who has multiple Emotional Support Crime Procedurals.

Sorry Tāmaki, I said 'it hasn't rained that much' about an hour ago. This is definitely my fault.

How to thoroughly bum oneself out in two steps and 10 seconds: 1. Read a post with a link to a story about a promising vaccine-based therapy for cancer 2. Read the previous post in the thread about how the company developing it is reducing their investment in vaccines bc of RFK/Trump

the median american is richer than someone from virtually any other country on earth. their political choices have a greater impact than anyone else's, anywhere. their cultural preferences become the world's default cultural preferences. you don't need to preface this with not all americans.

I just spent a whole day not looking at the news and it was so good. I basically forgot the outside world existed for like 10 hours.

I was just tomato wrangling and I looked down to see about 15 mosquitoes on the skin of my feet. So that's the next 40 minutes of my life.

I don't even really understand the whiskey fridays thing but actually drunk news would be kind of amazing. Super hard boiled newspeople drinking a different whiskey every week and discussing [gestures everywhere]

Honestly struggling this morning with the fact that these things are actually happening in real life. Cannot convince my brain to really fully believe it's not that Scandal kept going and kept getting more and more ridiculous with every episode.

Just wouldn't occur to them that the problem is their association of Palestinian identity with antisemitic violence

Urn Raider

The problem with Luxon is that the 'not very bright, but charming' front man has to actually be charming for it to work.

Please stop using this social network to promote the outrageous things the nazis on the nazi social network are saying. We know there’s nazi shit on the nazi network: that’s why we’re not using it.

Bill Bailey told us this would happen

Since folks starting posting the link it's shot up to over $60k ✊

Jeepers this poem is incredible

One day I'm going to go to a Thai restaurant solo and order a double whiskey and a whole fish and have the best night ever

(FFXIV Dawntrail spoilers) This game got so pretty y'all

Apparently the fruit flies are having a party

Me: I'm so much more chill about bees now A bee: oh cool, I'll just land on your face Me: FUCK WHERE IS IT?

How the fuck are we supposed to just keep going through all this shit

We're really hitting the 'sci fi future dates' era and it's depressing how accurate/not accurate they all are.

The number one movie from when you were 10 is how your year is going to go. Fuck, this seems bad.

A flock of seagulls just flew overhead, screeching incessantly and circling a mysterious orb. I'm pretty sure it was a balloon, but it was very unsettling, as omens go.

Seriously, if you like a) food shows and, b) ridiculous over the top dystopia, you need to watch Culinary Class Wars. It's so terrimazing.

I just invented this G&T and it's so good. Four pillars sherry cask gin, a few dashes of angostura bitters, two pitted cherries on a toothpick, a big ice cube and topped with tonic.

This solitary rooster sitting in a tree in Te Wai Ōrea says a hearty Merry Christmas to all!

Merry Chrimsms. Merry Crisis. Happy Chrysler.

I just need to make sure everyone knows this recipe is incredible, but with the caveat that you should put in even more garlic. So gd easy and absolutely incredible every time. www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/nige...

Just made it to the Strange New Worlds episode which is basically Knives Out: Star Trek and I'm so happy I might explode

I just want to go to Seoul for a week and do like 5 different food tours. Yes I'm watching Culinary Class Wars S2

coming to terms with the fact that I peaked seven-plus years ago

HELL YES

Absolutely blown away by the speed and extent of the response to the puberty blocker ban, in such a short time there are legal challenges up and running, we've got support funds set up for affected families, nationwide ongoing protests organised, MERCH. Really incredible mahi from PATHA, RY, et al.

This one’s important e hoa mā - a few of our orgs are collaborating on this fund to ensure that no trans young person in Aotearoa misses out on lifesaving care. Alternative treatment pathways exist but are expensive and we need your help. givealittle.co.nz/cause/we-got...

The Apocalypse World 3rd ed kickstarter hit US$180,000, which is 10x their initial goal, absolutely incredible.

He uses antlers in all of his decorating, what else is there left to delve into?

Probably about once a month I still think about Donald Sutherland in Catching Fire saying 'They're holding hands. I want them dead.' One of the most simultaneously vicious and hilarious lines of dialogue in the history of cinema

Hatred is cruel, for the victims of it and for those it consumes. As 2026 approaches, let us all recommit to hope over hatred, to peace over war, and to our shared humanity.
