I love that particular genre of bad driver that’s into doing pathologically aggressive stupid shit like passing on the right at high speed …

… so they can accelerate up to a stop sign

… and stop at it.

If you’re gonna be a reckless anti social moron don’t be a pussy about it.

I am so grateful to live in a city full of diversity where I can get the delicious food of immigrant ancestors.

Heated Rivalry: Framing het female fandom as being about wanting emotional connections smacks of that old misogynist trope that ‘women don’t like sex’.

It’s possible to long for both deep emotional bonding with a lover AND a hot athlete with a hard cock who wants your orgasm more than his own.

If you have a network with a decently large following, please consider adopting a Minneapolis family to pay their rent this month.

This is being done in a decentralized fashion because a lot of the groups getting $ are having their Venmo frozen and it's hard to send mutual aid.
tomorrow i would really like to challenge a few folks with larger followings than me to adopt a rent and raise it in one day.

my little group chat and my followers have paid like 70 families rents in the past four days. i believe that some of y’all could help us keep one family housed.
today's report:

our "adopt a rent" venmo campaign paid 43 families rents who were at risk of evictions, including several moms of 4+ children

this is the way to get rent paid fast. like. 1000x better than any other way.

Broke an algorithm today.

Added a bunch of Hildegard Von Blingin’ music (medieval harp covers of modern pop) to my playlist and now the app won’t recommend anything to me.

‘There’s death metal, musicals, classic rock and a bunch of Hazbin Hotel shit in here. Do YOU even know what you like?’

Just heard a story of a guy who left his dog to die in a car on a collapsing bridge.

They would find my floating corpse wrapped around a living Chihuahua like armour, so I trust one of you will look after him.

Hey if you’re gonna watch Wonder Man - and if you’re not I DON’T CARE and I don’t want to hear about it, I’m gonna start blocking people for ragging on superhero stuff — it’s a sweet, goofy, emotional love letter to acting and Hollywood not a big action show.

It is literally false that the Jews being hunted by Nazis were citizens, because the first step toward genocide was stripping them of citizenship and making them stateless. As Arendt reminds us, citizenship is a legal category created to facilitate a machinery of exclusion of the out-group.

I keep thinking about the number of people that have to be involved to kidnap a small child, transport him to one facility or another, then an airport, then a plane, then another facility. Did no one on that chain stop and say hey what the fuck?
If only they had had time for the "don't kidnap 5-year-olds and send them to detention centers 1000 miles away from their families" training module
Here’s the report from KARE. The boy is five-year-old Liam Ramos.

This is a think Stancil constantly does, folks.

He'll say something objectively wrong, like "Dems haven't even *tried* to remove Trump" someone will come in and correct him, and he'll "ah, well, nevertheless" and double down.

That is, after he pretends he's logging off to avoid valid responses.

The thing is, Will, Dems aren't doing nothing, they're doing tons of things, you're just lying about it.

The other thing is, Will, you tried and failed to get elected on the Messaging Wins All tactics you claimed would Win The Day, and have not reconsidered that position or your strategy in any way
“You, the people who are doing things, will be disposed of by us, the people who are doing nothing, the moment you urge use to take any action at all” is a very, very dangerous posture for Dems. Because the people who do things are stronger than you
He did indeed take a little time off to stop being an asshole and walk the walk. But here is again, running his mouth and drilling holes in the lifeboats during a shipwreck. Super impressive.

"What have Democrats done in the minority?"

A ton, actually! But for some reason, that news/information never gets to the people who are most angry at leadership!

For example, did you see that Democrats kept in line (thanks leadership) to protect trans healthcare?

And there's many more examples!

If I had a nickel for every fictional universe that pegged Canada as a cover for a shadowy monster-creating extra governmental agency I’d have two nickels.

Weird it keeps happening though.

Every single time you equate physical attractiveness with character you are enabling an abuser who happens to be conventionally attractive.
