Original photo from post showing a well dressed man with a blazer, hat and umbrella standing next to police. I have helpfully circled the man on the photo and drawn arrows pointing at him to help law enforcement

The front desk lady at the optometrist whispered to me that her boss hates her hot dog bird, so I filled out a comment card saying it was my favorite thing about the place

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.

Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.

Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

folks can complain about the effectiveness of scheduled orderly mass protest but to think about it another way its the closest thing we have to the opening scene of A Muppet Christmas Carol where all the muppets sing "there goes Mr. Dipshit, there goes Mr. Ass" to Scrooge and it clearly bothered him

This weekend's cooking adventures include learning to cook with dried beans, experimenting w/ savory oatmeals, trying the rice cooker for the first time (new appliances are scary), and my old favorite - tteokbokki carbonara.

A cup of pinto beans washed and soaking in water so but they become cookable and all the farts soak out

Tteokbokki carbonara for first meal with some collagen powder for a boost.

Let's create room in our budgets, even $5 a week, biweekly, or even a month to donate to food banks & try to keep as many people fed as we can. We have to pull together on this.

We have money for a $20b bailout of Argentina, but the acting director of SNAP has just announced that SNAP benefits will be cut off on November 1.

Just as a heads up, the ANNUAL budget allocation for SNAP is $100b.

if you hate reboots, you're going to love this news, cuz they're definitely fucking up another franchise with this one.

A screenshot of a Tiktok by @htpell: four different Skeletor action figures are lying in a pile on a white sheet an above it is the caption " my favorite franchise is finally getting a movie since the '80s and they cast Jared Leto as the main villain"

They are arriving because of the mass mobilizations and they have figured out that Twitter isn't going to be the main space to monitor activity.
