These guys will be like, "The left live in bubbles and are out of touch with the average person!" and then be like, "No, I haven't heard of the most popular musician on the planet. Instead, they should hire this ancient irrelevant right-wing crank."

Sometimes I think back to rock n roll and cola wars being what made Billy Joel unable to take it anymore

I am just realizing I take a nap in the morning after reading the news because I need to turn my brain off and back on again

You need yourself, you need your neighbors, you need a functioning public sector. It’s not that complicated!

so much discussion about what it means about the men and their sexuality, so little discussion about the damage it does to the youngsters they're raping

You would think old white people would have enough to do dealing with their own problems, like old people smell, acid reflux and joint pain, that they'd stay out of everyone else's slang, memes and music. At some point isn't it a relief to just be yourself? I myself embrace being a comforting blob

EXACTLY! 👇🏼 #rageagainsttheregime #pinks

Imagine seeing photos and videos of ugly old men raping underage girls and thinking, "I need to protect those horrible men at all costs."? Pam Bondi is a soulless villain.

When they say they think the protesters are paid because their signs are too good, don't they realize they pissed off all the art students and stage crew kids? Frankly I'm surprised there aren't more giant puppets and coordinated dance routines

this does my heart good

He's got exactly two moves: tariffs and making boom booms

It’s the same reason Twitter dipshits scream at women for not having kids if they’re 30. Doesn’t matter the circumstances or if the child will be loved you’ve just gotta get that achievement! You have to platinum life! Everyone is a little trophy to you!

Abolish ICE. Fire them all. Prosecute *every single abuse*.

Seeing a bunch of normal ass midwestern moms and dads marching in -20 degrees knowing they might be tear gassed or worse really drives home what a cowardly lot of people the pundit class is

At least I knew which country I wanted to invade. #davos26

one of my older siblings bullied me relentlessly through my childhood. My parents got fed up and frustrated - with me for complaining about it. Tiny me was left to deal with it myself which is how I wound up with chicken pox after biting him. Anyway, that's how democratic leadership is treating us

The 'neighborhood watch- meals on wheels' type methods ⤵️ of folks around the country really merits more attention from all of us & especially national press. The Trump narrative is almost overwhelming but it's false. There are hundreds of stories to tell about people looking out for their neighbors.

This is how schools fail to stop bullies and victim blame. "Hey, pal, could you please stop sadistically bullying your schoolmates, m'kay? I know you want to be a good guy, right?" "And you, if you could stop complaining and being different and just give him your lunch money, he'll stop bullying."

I just keep thinking about this www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

If anyone has any recipes or ideas for what to do with rotisserie chicken and leftover rice I'd appreciate them

White people can’t hear anything that doesn’t benefit them. The white people bubble is gambling, gaming, golf, money and self-interest

this and also cut and paste for the foreseeable future

I feel like I haven’t even been properly lied to about the purposes of this war

Just once it'd be nice to say "Best year ever; bank this one, for we may never see its like again" rather than "Another fucking quagmire of doom, glad to see the back of it."

If we were given the time to grieve properly, what might we decide to change? — @sarahljaffe.bsky.social

If I were actually a free thinker who questioned everything I might get to wondering why my government tries to make me mad at Somalis every time something new comes out about Epstein

I regret to inform you, if your garbage day is Thursday like mine is, you are too late. Your turkey carcass, wrapping paper, and empty bourbon bottles have to wait until next Friday, January 2, 2026. Also I don't know if Ferrer Roches count as a meal but cookies DO.

area opponents of socialist handouts skipped over by helpful neighbors #Chicago 😂🤭😙 🎩 @pennyhasproblems.bsky.social

People talk about "estrangement" and "no contact" like they're new things when I had a couple of great aunts who didn't talk to each other for almost 80 years over a pair of gloves

I don't see why ICE agents don't want to ID themselves. I mean, you have to show your ID to buy groceries according to our esteemed president, and he never lies

good things happen when Bovino leaves your city

Dear Charlotte: I am so sorry you're dealing with this now. I hope you keep your heads up and fight Dear L.A.: anything we Chicagoans should know about this next phase?

"Freedom from want is not a noble ideal just because it mitigates against the suffering inherent in poverty—it is also a key pillar in making a society truly open, as personal wealth is nearly synonymous with choice in a modern, commercial society." www.liberalcurrents.com/liberalisms-...

The problem of course is we have a political and economic system that has eliminated the downsides of insane behavior and risk taking. You can burn down the world and then shrug and walk away with billions. Seems like a problem

They even managed to piss off Tom Skilling

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far. So much work remains to be done.

The idea that sexual abuse is part of “private” life instead of a public crisis has done incalculable damage. Anti-rape activists have to fight to even make it possible to expose sexual abuse as a wrongdoing in public without being silenced and undermined. That fight is far from won

Need a reminder why we fight? Here’s one: These precious souls deserve a bright future. 🥰 (Via @monroe_local_schools)

get this ass out of my state already

also because Trump is so removed from how regular people live in this country, he doesn't realize those Thanksgiving deals aren't being touted to prove how great things are but because stores realize people are having a hard time affording Thanksgiving dinner at all right now

I'm going to gain 135 pounds by the midterms just to piss off Dr. Oz. And I'm not having a baby, either

I am wondering if someone keeps playing Stratego with him and he's won 9 times so far

You’d never catch one of these coddled kids nowadays “working in the lab late one night.” And the only thing their eyes are beholding is their damn phone

Am I late to the party noticing that Trump keeps getting interviewed hanging on to a door frame nowadays? I admit I don't click or follow him being interviewed consistently to I might be just seeing the door frame ones

Today is Thursday, Oct 30 Good morning ❤️ eat take your meds hydrate tell your people you love them let them love you back We are here. This is real. Let's build a home for each other and fight like hell.

I think any story about Trump's autocracy should be mostly about the people and institutions who failed to stop it. This guy isn't a political genius, everything else just happens to be rotten. 'Toddler Consolidates Power In Household' is a story about incompetent parents, not shrewd maneuvering
