Turned on SNL and genuinely thought the Role Model performance was a skit at first.

New York Times Executive Editor Joseph Kahn either does kidnap and molest preschoolers or he doesn’t. Does he or does he not? Is there troubling evidence or isn’t there? Have preschoolers shrieked in pain and terror in his office or haven’t they? All of this plus the Brooklyn Book Festival!ghv

Hey kids? Kids? Who the fuck is "Role Model" and why the fuck did anyone think he deserved an SNL slot?

I can't remember being so actively angry at how bad a performer and their songs are, Jesus. This kid looks like he got a book of cheap tattoos slapped on yesterday and sings flat, Christ.

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

Fall Song

It is a dark fall day.
The earth is slightly damp with rain.
I hear a jay.
The cry is blue.

Pritzker: "If the Constitution means anything -- and I guess we all are questioning that right now -- the Insurrection Act cannot be invoked ... they just want troops on the ground because they want to militarize especially blue cities in blue states."

Every time someone makes me read something Peter Thiel said it’s like “Scrooge McDuck is Jesus Christ and Huey, Dewey, and Louie are Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel and Daisy is Mary Magdalene and that’s why women voting has lowered American sperm count.”

Join ICE today cmon

Post from the New Yorker: ICE wants YOU to put on a MASK to do your JOB. But NOT like
during COVID when YOU didn't WANT to wear a MASK. This time, it's NOT for protecting OTHERS from HARM-it's for protecting your IDENTITY while YOU harm OTHERS.

Also: if you work for ICE, even if you’re not one of the ones arresting citizens or tackling 15-year-olds or zip-tying kids together and segregating them by race, you’re part of the mechanism making it happen, and you should suffer long-term social and post-regime-change consequences.

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

It's amazing that it needs to be said, but we should listen to autistic people about autism. (And autistic people, like any other group of people, also have a range of perspectives and experiences -- this is just one!) www.latimes.com/opinion/stor...

Contributor: Autism is not your enemy

It isn’t the misinformation that troubles autistic people the most. It’s the subtext that the world would be better off without us.
