If you came here from a starter pack and you have no personal content, nothing to indicate being human, and it's just RTs and replies, I'm not even bothering. Your huge follower & following counts don't interest me.

IDGAF how many mutuals we have. That's not what I'm here for.
Checking in to see what people are up to and um yeah, still seeing a lot of unhealthy things.

Off to Sundevich to grab provisions for today and tomorrow. They're open tomorrow so I could buy a sandwich then too for Sunday/Monday breakfast. I'm glad this place survived.

"I didn't vote for Hillary because I don't like her."

My man, we're in the second Trump term, if you're going to post your Ls just die mad already and save us.
(To be clear, I do not like Newsom and also did not like Clinton better. But my neighbor Democrats vote how they vote because they are not me.)

Ma'am please don't do this. Your last term was a mess of limp dicked nothingness, preceded by you doing everything to whitewash Trayon so you'd get re-elected for that pointless term. Get a new job.
NEWS: Former At-Large D.C. Councilmember Elissa Silverman, who lost her re-election bid in 2022, says she'll run in the June 16 special election to finish out Kenyan McDuffie's term. (Recall it was McDuffie who beat her in 2022.) elissafordc.substack.com/p/i-have-som...

I'm going to go out on a limb and say you buying your diagnosis online isn't that much better than a quiz in Cosmo or Men's Health. And probably why the K you got in the mail isn't working like you hoped.

It's so strange that Sweden has all this history of knowing how to boost population with large and good housing and now can't seem to figure it out.

So people are just going to spiral on MLK Jr Weekend? Man y'all are weak.

It's rather depressing watching Så Byggdes Sverige and all the same things we did to cities in the US but without the racism. But still huge destruction of the city cores for concrete. Soulless.

Watching some lunatic claim "no one calls Sunday school Sunday school" was absolutely wild. Easiest block of the year. So far.

Watching the Christian Eastern Orthodox becoming the next best stop for the American far right and trying to lecture everyone else on "correct interpretations" of Christianity feels like it's an op. Maybe they're genuinely interested but Orthodoxy is usually regionally & culturally linked.

People on here are allergic to nostalgia but there was a time when rich countries and regions had no problem building good, decent and not extortionately priced housing, transit, and decent jobs, all over the developed world.

I support Greenland making its own choices, which is pretty much the opposite of standing with Denmark. But you have to dumb shit down for Americans and Europeans.

Reading Black Wave (or continuing) over a drink at a DC bar, marvelling over how revolutionaries underestimated just how vicious and shrewd Khomeini was.

If your country didn't have any anti discrimination laws on race or ethnicity until the 2000s you should probably say less on this site.

The whole "in Germany we have" about a bar is bullshit. Has never been a thing. Will never be a thing.

Prominent Nazis were openly walking around for decades after. The entire denazification process sputtered out pretty quickly after the war and Germans were the primary driver for the failure.

Shut the fuck up.
Seriously wondering what the political calculus of the dems for their absence is here. Fear of repercussions? Do they hope that the regime wrecking the country will result in easy democratic wins for the next generation? The repercussions will come anyway and US voters have zero long term memory.
Curious if Obama keeps his silence until they come for him and deport him under false claims about his place of birth.

These former presidents are beyond redemption.

Booking my Scandinavian mini break tgtfo out of this place for a week. Do I spend a night in Malmö and just hope all the train companies actually puts trains on the schedule for the full month? Genuinely embarrassing they can't plan trains two months out.
January 14, 2026 at 8:26 PM
It did more than just that, trains were stopped heading to Shady Grove too. This single track problem each direction really is our death knell.
UPDATE: Red Line: Train service has been restored between Rhode Island Ave and Fort Totten. Customers will experience residual delays in both directions following an earlier report of smoke at Brookland.

A completely unserious bunch of people you assholes keep sending to rule over us.

Statehood awkwardly is more equitable than what Denmark offered Greenland until 79, or 2008 if you're feeling spicy. It's got to grate talking about choosing Denmark.
So 56,000 Greenlanders who may not even want to be part of the U.S. would get statehood, but 700,000 D.C. residents who are already Americans but don’t enjoy the same democratic rights as all others won’t get it?

They modeled Brasilia on Swedish suburban design? Oh so I can skip visiting that. But also:

Att lära sig hur mycket Sverige, med flit, förstörde dina egna städer och gjorde så många fattigare, inneboende tvingas förflytta sig till förorten, men inte hade råd själva. Tack SVT, ni är bra duktiga på historia. Och Petra Mede.
