and this applies in every direction btw it doesn't matter if the bait is directed towards her fans or her haters or people who don't care about her at all the point is that getting people to argue about her is one of the easiest ways to guarantee engagement rn (which translates into $$$)

taylor swift related rage bait is a lucrative cottage industry and i wish more people would view every hot take about her the algorithm puts in front of them through that lens

absolutely saving this to send to all my group chats whenever i'm about to monologue about a special interest

i thought the right was all about "free speech" and "anti cancel culture" and "letting comedians make offensive jokes" 🤔

if Jimmy Kimmel's political humor is too hot for you to handle, I'm not sure "snowflake" even cuts it as a term of derision for the level of fragility you've achieved

I see posts like this and I think they’re great but I also want you guys to keep this sentiment in mind when you encounter art that makes you uncomfortable. divisive and political art might in fact be divisive and political

i feel like no other lyric could ever encapsulate what a 4-day bender feels like quite as well as "for Thursday's child is Sunday's clown"

it felt like experiencing all seven deadly sins at once

dude i'm still thinking about that fried cookie dough it was so fucked up

two dog-dragon-like creatures made of fir tree branches and christmas decorations stood on a display table. one is lighter green with tighter fir fur, candy cane swirl eyes? and silver, red, and green decorations, it looks crazed and has its branch maw wide open. behind is a smaller more docile one with gold eyes and red, silver, and gold decorations we agreed that the latter is Terri Sherman and the former is jingles

two women enjoying terri sherman and jingles, one pointing and the other seemingly collapsed on the railing

however the most important thing in the crafts fair was the legend of terri sherman & jingles. why did they escape. where are they now. who runs the top secret high security, xmas underground. “harmless &”… what

I hate when someone unearths my pube-autograph to the world's most famous pedophile while I'm dying of cankles

will be fun to see which of the "ordering pizza is pedophile code for little boys, look at my mspaint infographics" people abruptly wave away "may every day be another wonderful secret" on a drawing of a naked woman sent to a pedophile

Knowing everything you know about Epstein and Trump read this yourself two-three times and ask what the most obvious interpretation of it would be.

okay i'm glad i'm not the only person to see labubu and think about cheburashka

literally the amount of times i've come to the group chat with a Horrid Update to see you've beaten me to it by mere seconds lmao

true but i'm also "news update" friend lolol

hey remember when a rich ceo died then when they caught the suspect they made a circus of it like they found osama bin laden and charged him with terrorism but less than weeks ago two democrat lawmakers and their spouses were shot as literal assassination to shift control and everyone already forgot

far more terrible is it to behold, when fathoms down in the sea, you see some sulky whale, floating there suspended, with his prodigious jaw, some fifteen feet long, hanging straight down at right-angles with his body

nyt be like: now that hamas might be mayor, billionaires are worried. 🥺 should the dems take note and use tiktok to prop up a sexual offender?

expedition 33 is a game about what would happen if you died and your family went insane fighting over your minecraft world you made when you were 12

rakata officially canonized?!!! huge

AITAH for "training" a guy "like a dog"? 1(23F) have recently started seeing this guy (26M). he's super pretty, but he's kind of emotionally unavailable and he's alluded to an unstable/ unhealthy childhood. for context, i also work w socializing abused and neglected dogs at a local shelter and i think how much time i spend w the dogs is impacting the way i interact w ppl. when we were on a date i started subconsciously making mental notes abt him like the notes id make abt a dog. for example, i noticed when we went out to dinner i noticed he ate really quickly and was very anti-sharing (resource guarding) but when i offered to pay and suggested dessert it seemed to make him really happy and a little calmer (food-motivated); he's really particular about his car (territorial/ crate aggression); he likes when i pick where we go/ what we do (eager to please), etc. so, ive started using the tactics id use on a dog w similar problems. recently a friend (22F) pointed out that it's weird that i keep peanut M&Ms on me w the specific purpose of offering the guy one when i see him, and offering them again whenever i can tell he feels vulnerable. she said that im being an asshole be he's a person, not a dog so i shouldn't be "training him like one." i don't think that's fair, im not trying to control him or anything, i just want him to feel comfortable w me the same way i need the animals im helping to be comfortable w me. humans and animals aren't THAT diff after all, we all just want to feel safe and cared for. the guy hasn't noticed yet as far as i can tell. the problem is, my "technique" is yielding really positive results. AITAH? should i stop?

girl.... lmao

why is there nothing more embarrassing than reading a recounting of a text exchange in a nytimes modern love piece

sometimes i'm tempted to just drop my ao3 handle in my hinge profile and be like "if u can't match my freak keep swiping"

or like the rogue delamains that try to kill people

you can tell i'm a millennial bc every time i eat chocolate in front of my dog i say "much too good for children" to her in a trunchbull voice

Folks,

don't invent the torment nexus

uh oh april fools day is almost over only 27 min to Lie

i don't think i know anyone under 40 who buys and uses paper napkins if it's not specifically for a party or something. like, we all use either paper towels or cloth napkins, right? any napkin buying freaks out there? is this another industry millennials killed?
