Yeah, so when one side is like, "Maybe unfettered access to guns is bad and school shootings need to be stopped and trans people deserve to exist" and the other side is like "Fuck you" this isn't a "both sides are valid" type of world anymore.

Attention young people: please, while you are still young, do yourselves a favor and eat all of the dairy and fried food that your body can handle.
Because north of 40 you will literally be in physical pain when you try and eat these things.
Also register to vote. That's important, too.

Yes. I also felt this way about the assassinations in Minnesota. In fact, I continue to feel this way about the assassinations in Minnesota.
Feel like one political party kidnapping an opponent should be bigger news

“I’ve had enough…I’m refusing to back down.”
Texas state Rep. Nicole Collier speaks to MSNBC from the Texas State Capitol. She is stuck there after the Texas GOP required police surveillance as condition for release. She is refusing to sign a waiver for the law enforcement escort.

Many thanks @everywhereist.bsky.social. I read your cinnamon roll essay with my college freshman today. They were engaged, thoughtful, and a bit surprised by the words coming out of my mouth as I read it aloud.

7 years later and I still whisper, “We’re disabled, Daniel, not werewolves” to myself like a sacred mantra whenever I see a non-disabled person discover ableism like it’s the latest hipster indie band.

When a network lays off one of America’s greatest satirists, it’s not because he failed. It’s because he succeeded too loudly.

I keep seeing people say things like, “Well we’re not going to HAVE elections,” and with all due respect, I think this is both wildly pessimistic and also wildly naive.
We are not going to have free and fair elections. We also have not had them in the past.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Can someone more well versed than me in EU261 confirm that the representative from American Airlines is straight up lying to me here? They're saying she's entitled to only $600, but earlier in the email they confirm she's entitled to 75% of the value of her downgraded ticket.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

If You Can’t Take the Heat by @everywhereist.bsky.social is a fantastic read beyond her taste in chain restaurant bread…
But those biscuits are AMAZING… even though (truth be told) I’ve never eaten at that chain. I’ve only eaten the bake-at-home kind WHICH HAS A STELLAR GLUTEN FREE VERSION!

I confess it took reading @everywhereist.bsky.social ‘s book for me to learn this incontrovertible fact.
there is not a single fast-casual chain bread that surpasses the cheddar bay biscuit. the cheddar bay biscuit is one of the greatest foodstuffs this country has ever produced. if you went back in time and gave a cheddar bay biscuit to george washington, the intensity of flavor would kill him
