A friend once told me that I'm loved by kids, dogs, and old ladies; unfortunately, I'm also loved by bacteria, cats outside my window at night, and most bartenders.

As of today, a new term has entered our language. A “rubio” is a spineless lump of nothing. Example: Don’t be such a rubio.

As always, I love this take from @neilsteinberg.bsky.social.
We need to support the people Trump is stepping on
It's a long way from 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' to the president and his attempts to decree trans Americans out of existence.

Wait, I thought TikTok was evil and a threat to national security.
And yet they appear to be coordinating with Donald Trump to make him look good.
Surely, this means he is also evil and a national security threat.

If Target had any sense at all, they would offer this as an exclusive after-hours event once a month, with limited, erm, seating. Of course, they should also partner with Lyft to make sure I get home safely. #livingmybestlife #sushi #cinnamonroll #wine #target #lyft #takemehome

This is such a key point. Every time someone says “we need less identity politics” they absolutely mean any identity other than white male. The privilege of being white and male (and conservative) is that your identity politics is considered default or neutral.
White masculinity is an identity, and playing up the defense of it — via the state, via norms, via violence — is identity politics.

I thought "atmospheric river" sounded ominous, but now they're throwing "bomb cyclones" at California, too? At the same time? Stay safe, my NorCal family and friends. #holyhell #bombcyclone #atmosphericriver

"People like Jared Polis have been arguing Kennedy could lead a helpful change in FDA policies towards food additives or challenge Big Pharma. But this is like arguing that Trump may do good because he'll fire everyone and thereby vanquish the deep state."
