This is the 4th day in a row where there is a 90% Above Normal shading on the CPC Day 8-14 Temperature Outlook. Before that, it only showed up on 15 maps during the previous 10 years!

When Rob Reiner was on his all-time epic run at the start of his career, he had an opportunity to read a script that was looking for a production partner, and he lost his mind for it. He decided Castle Rock had to have it, no matter what.

Javier, our new CEO, wanted to thank everyone for a fun and motivating first week. You all have made his transition process enjoyable. He has much to do but insisted on relaying that his initial numbers indicate that the dogs are all very good and will likely continue to be ❤️

There are literally thousands of *actual* intellectuals with many great thoughts from your own state who you can encourage to follow.
I'm so tired of the idea that we have to agree to disagree with people who push violent rhetoric into all spaces.

The more I read, I'm convinced this girl knew her paper sucked. She made it suck so that she could cry about her (justified) grade and ruin the life of this poor TA. It's not enough that we take away their rights, we have to take away their means of living too.

A shoddy Oklahoma University essay went viral. Cis people think this is about conservatives whining for better grades. Trans people see a planned attack on a trans academic.

To save myself half a percent on inflation, I should spend thousands of dollars to completely upend our lives and move to a state where my daughter and I won’t have access to proper reproductive healthcare (amongst a million other problematic things).

My most woke opinion: bathrooms shouldn't be "for customers only." I know there are logistics and issues that should be addressed with this, but people should be able to access a nearby bathroom when they need to.
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

So @support.bsky.team you will suspend Patton Oswalt for posting about a wood chipper (which IMO is a time honored tradition) but you don't suspend this account for posting actual murders?
Yesterday, at the direction of President Trump, two lethal kinetic strikes were conducted on two vessels operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations.
Both strikes were conducted in international waters and 3 male narco-terrorists were aboard each vessel. All 6 were killed.

Hot take: if it's bipartisan, it's probably not a good law because it's likely that Dems have thrown a vulnerable group under the bus.
lotta dunks here but it is literally impossible for us to pass any good law right now without it being bipartisan.
if your solutions don't require passing a law right now, cool. if they do you need bipartisanship
