Right? I can handle this on my own!!

from "don't kill people" to "don't kill people" to "don't kill people" in record time

I need a therapist, but then I'd have to rely on them and I've tried that.... Wait....

Delete your AI. You know that it’s evil in every way. Don’t use it. Value something better than convenience.

At least 22 killed and more than 120 wounded in Pakistan as protesters try to storm US Consulate Authorities say at least 22 people were killed and more than 120 wounded in clashes with police on Sunday after protesters stormed the U.S.

Are any of the reporters who let the Republicans sucker them into the Benghazi scandal narrative awake right now?

Donald Trump is lucky he’s not a Democrat, otherwise the people who make seven figures to read aloud on TV would be performing outraged right now.

Netanyahu Calls Iran Strikes Necessary To Prevent War He Just Started

This reminds me of that Frankie Boyle joke about how Americans not only come to your country and kill your people, they also come back twenty years later to make a movie about how killing your people made their soldiers sad.

Her hair is terrible.

Pay attention:

This is what happens when gay people hate you.

I wonder fucking why

Two apple pies with streusel topping, one almost gone.

My youngest child turned 18 this week and wanted apple pie instead of cake. The crusts were small so I made 2 of them and they were amazing. And my kid is amazing and probably will be a functional adult.

There are 150 schoolchildren nobody can ask about anything anymore but presumably you meant some different ordinary Iranians

I'm not on Substack (and don't plan on using it for multiple reasons), but I didn't realize they were doing the same thing that Discord was doing.

Push from Saudis, Israel helped move Trump to attack Iran President Trump launched a wide-ranging attack on Iran after weeks-long lobbying by an unusual pair of U.S. allies in the Middle East: Israel and Saudi Arabia.

"The attack came despite US intelligence assessments that Iran was unlikely to pose an immediate threat to the US mainland within the next decade."

So why do it?

"A weeks-long lobbying effort by Israel and Saudi Arabia..."

Ah. Not just weak, but cheap, too.

I got up earlier today than I do when I have to work, which really shows how the dread of going to work makes me not want to get up. I need a vacation...

Americans are able to instantly identify and sympathize with John Wick and his violent rampage when his dog is killed in a movie but are incapable of applying the same logic to a person of color having their kids murdered

They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).

Starting to think that a government that finds universal healthcare impossible but can go to war with the middle east four times in my life might be bad

Revealed: How Substack makes money from hosting Nazi newsletters Exclusive: Site takes a cut of subscriptions to content that promotes far-right ideology, white supremacy and antisemitism

I need to program a bot that responds to any link to a Substack post with the question, "Why are you still on Substack?" with a link to this article: www.theguardian.com/media/2026/f...

Because fuck...

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done

- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy

Donald Trump in 2012:

Trump Administration's New Healthcare Plans Could Slap Families With $31,000 Deductibles | Common Dreams New Trump healthcare plans offer lower premiums but come with high deductibles, risking financial burden on patients. Ex

Trump’s grand plan to lower health care costs is to make changes to the Affordable Care Act that could increase a family’s yearly deductible to $31,000.

That’s after he let ACA subsidies expire in his big, ugly bill.

Remember: he doesn’t actually care about making your life better.

One year ago today, right wing influencers were strutting out of that building like they had just cracked the biggest cover-up of the Democratic cabal in modern history.

Binders held high. Cameras rolling.

Then they opened the pages. And the energy got real quiet.

Most Americans manage to go their entire lives without worrying what's inside the pants of Boy Scouts and I'm simply asking Pete Hegseth to do the same

Please keep writing about Nurul Amin Shah Alam.

They killed this man. It's a system wide problem that resulted in his death. Every step of the way it was a travesty of justice.

This is how immigration law intersects with criminal law. ICE and CBP.

Read this and ask why do we fund this? Why?

In 2025, Meta paid an effective federal tax rate of 3.5% — its lowest on record.

Meanwhile, Meta is pumping $65 million into elections this year to boost AI friendly candidates.

Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax, it's corrosive to democracy.

Big Money is the root of our dysfunction.

This is what I need cis folks to understand.

It's been a decade.

Imagine living TEN FUCKING YEARS watching as a blatant, artificial campaign to erase your personhood, your identity and your safety chugs along, increasing in power every single day, and most people don't care or dismiss it
