This:

tweet by Meg @_nomadic_soul

Whenever a man says, “women are made to follow and submit to men,” I just want to say, “have you ever met women tho.”

Women are seriously such vibrant, intelligent, strong, expressive, incredible beings. The idea of subjugating them is horrifying.

When you need ChatGPT to arrive at a point where you tell your date "It was lovely to meet you" then yeah, better do not date, at all.

They are dragging 15 year old girls and hiding the case files of people who did things to 15 year old girls

At what point does it not matter what needs to be “released”

As opposed to making sure that until it is they don’t have access to kids

But they'd still know the baseline and the average cost of a given procedure and could tell people that.

I think that sounds cute.

TS fandom posts read to me like:
"The marmot flies at night, but hedgehogs have the pizza!"

Seriously, it looks like English but reads like some secret code, I guess when WWIII comes the military will use Swifties for their encryption.

Keep in mind that ICE now has a budget larger than every military in the world except the US and Chinese militaries.

Things are going to get much worse. I'm not saying this to create fear, it's fact.

The administration is at war with Americans.

If the word "Harryhausen" means anything at all to then you have got to watch the new Deathstalker. What an absolutely stupid-good time.

Wasn't aware there's a new Deathstalker (a remake from what I read?) out.

"St. Paul solved more crimes"
Is a tagline for a historical, christian fiction, cozy mystery series.

St. Paul solved more crimes, had drastically fewer homicides in 2025

A remarkable shift is under way in St. Paul. The city is on track for a 70 percent drop in homicides by the end of 2025. And they’re solving more than 70 percent of crimes.

The evil that is AntiFa knows neither bounds nor fashion sense.

derek guy @dieworkwear.bsky.social · 1d

in 2011, the president of antifa hired me to give fashion consultancy to the organization. i recommended everyone wear navy suits with tan shoes, dress sneakers, and golf polos with slim chinos. if you arrested everyone today wearing these things, you'd destroy antifa

EL PASO — a family says ICE showed up at their house looking for migrants and shot and KILLED THEIR DOG, then didn’t help them as the agent ran away and was not identified.

TIL "I think we're alone now" was a cover version (still love Tiffany's much better).

Hah, that line could legit have been written by Linda Lael Miller. :D

That's the hazards of pop music, you may never get those lyrics out of your head, no matter how nonsensical they are.

Waiting for someone that doesn't show up is a Godoton, btw.

Loved the show Coupling and its theme song, well the last season takes a bit of a nose dive but overall it had brilliantly funny writing and a real earworm opener:

One can only hope that they do, but I guess outside of Scanners we won't have such luck.
