I'd like to give him more shit about this but not only is he on the San Vansterdam city council, but they seemed to have actually defunded the police here so I'll keep my snide comments to myself. Keep fighting the good fight, Slappy.

Just got to the part in the new Skate where an npc named Slappy invoked the phrase "we shall overcome" in regards to getting bird poo off of a gnarly ledge we were trying to tailslide.

Indeed Slappy, indeed.

I only caught this part... About the two N words that you can't use...

Captiond screenshot of Donald Trump addressing military generals. The closed captions read "... the N word. There are two [N words] and you can't use either..."

i want you to practice saying it. “i am invoking my right to remain silent and will not answer questions without an attorney present.” say it out loud. it sounds so simple but when the moment comes, you forget. you’ll be stressed, scared, confused, & want to explain yourself. don’t. it won’t help.

My legitimate political disagreement with Joe Biden is his enthusiastic complicity in politically knecapping single-payer healthcare proposals prior to the passing of the ACA, thereby continuing and often expanding the financial and bureaucratic burdens of cancer patients and their loved ones.

Mike Nellis @mikenellis.bsky.social · May 20

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but you can have legitimate political disagreements with Joe Biden and his team without being petty or gross about his cancer.

Oof that sounds like the sort of action made possible by the dehumanizing of an entire group of people through rhetorical games to win shallow and short-lived victories at the cost of peoples lives and dignity.

Anyway, this you?

Cognitive decline as a party policy

A response tweet from @ magi _ jay, which reads "Joe Biden did an incredible amount to try to protect civilian life in the foreign war between the Israeli Gov't & Hamas. This is abundant in 1) Biden's own actions & 2) Netanyahu's change in wartime behavior once Biden ceased to be president. This is the objective reality."

She is responding to a tweet that reads
"I am giving Biden the same sympathy he gave Palestinians."

If I were to develop really bad takes (politics/popculture) do you think that would help my bottom line? Also, is a podcast a tax deduction?

Aaron, your substack looks very reader-friendly and concise in terms of the headlines-list format. Do you mind if I ask what some of your more reliable daily sources are? I assume this is information collected from many different outlets, yes?

Just to be clear, she is talking about protesting the US-backed genocide in Gaza.

She thinks we need to take steps to contain those protests and minimize its influence on young people and it's the protests that are really the problem at the heart of this issue and not, y'know, the genocide. 🧐

Portrait of American Liberalism

A screencap of a tweet reply by Magdi Jacobs, dated 3rd of May, 2025, which reads:

"We have got to take steps, collectively. to contain that movement & minimize its influence on young ppl, ppl concerned w/ social justice, & Dem party politics. They are poison & they're not just fucking us politically, they're radicalizing young ppl & hurting paths of justice"

I'm not too proud to buy loose candy out of the big front pocket of a strangers hoodie, but these look counterfeit.

Too much color, too vibrant to be genuine... I don't trust this seller.

AI will never know how many R's are in the word strawberry or S's in deserts

Thank you for your service comrade @merriam-webster.com

Merriam-Webster @merriam-webster.com · Apr 25

The phrase ‘just deserts’ has only one S.

It has nothing to do with desserts 🧁or deserts 🏜️.

The word ‘desert’ is spelled like🏜️ and pronounced like🧁.

It's related to ‘deserve’ and means “reward or punishment deserved or earned by one’s qualities or acts.”

"... a permission structure for taking risks..."

Would you please elaborate on what you mean by this? Was there a version of this in the 'old playbook?'
