Jesus to his disciples:

Something I’ve been thinking about a lot with ICE is that they’re not just trying to scare people into staying home from voting, some of these lunatics really believe the below and they’re trying to actively deport a demographic that votes mostly Dem (if they’re voters).

a woman is sitting on a couch with a quote that says `` let me go before i cut somebody ... '' Alt: a Black woman with short hair wearing a blue sweater and purple top is sitting on a couch, she closes her eyes with frustration and grabs her purse to get up and leave. The quote says “let me go before i cut somebody ...”

Random Influencer: skirts are the new jeans!

Prosecute Elon, too, fwiw.

A screenshot of a Facebook post where a person named Andy ask the Well now “What the hell is transgender?” The Royal Canadian Air Force account response with “That’s a pretty big question asked in a pretty small way, Andy. ‘Transgender’ putting describes someone whose gender – who they know themselves to be – doesn’t match the sex they were assigned at birth. It’s not new, and it’s certainly not a fad. People have lived this experience for as long as people have existed; we’re just finally talking about it openly. You don’t have to fully understand it right away, most learning takes time, but we can always start from a place of respect. That’s how decent folks handle things they’re still getting used to.”

Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…

Celebrating the move of the great @ncrabbithole.com by becoming a paid subscriber! Great stories about North Carolina that you won’t find anywhere else. This is one of my favorites from the archives.

Corporate America will do everything (and blame everybody) except fix the actual problem (and take accountability).

SO PUMPED. This is a great newsletter, especially for North Carolinians, and now it’s even better bc it’s not on the stack. Friendly reminder to support writers doing the right thing at their own personal expense. Thank you, Jeremy, for being a light on that path!

If you say "we should do x, y, z" and then you don't do x, y, z, who is the "we" who you are saying should do x, y, z?

Idk Microsoft has put copilot in everything and nobody’s blinked, so 🫠

I’m a cynic, but I don’t trust it. AI is being embedded in everything and it feels like a situation where they are using our data to train it even if they “aren’t” 🤷🏻‍♀️ I don’t think people are overreacting given this is legitimately happening all over.

Since you’re unaware — Google Workspace is literally a thing entire businesses (law firms and otherwise) use as their core software instead of Microsoft. Not to mention using anything from Google suite is easier w a Gmail account. So yeah, people use it for more than a junk email.

If you're buying gifts for the holidays, maybe consider supporting artists, writers, creators. Gift someone a Patreon, commission an art piece, buy a book, purchase handmade jewelry, etc. Your support means everything.

Concern? Something to look forward to, I say. (As a woman who started to grey at 23 and has leaned in, which makes me biased 😂)

Sounds like Bezos is in the files or something 💁🏻‍♀️

Just loaded all the cousins onto the golf cart with the oldest one driving (17) and sent them out into the wild with nothing but “don’t let anything happen to the little ones, I trust your judgment” to guide them 😂

YES.

Lizza using the nazi newsletter platform to push his grift is just adding insult to injury tbh.

This is a wonderful time to support journalists who do the work, don’t fuck sources, and actually have moral clarity.

Once you allow an autocrat/dictator to deny rights of others, yours are next, do not be complicit. They will continue to erode everything until all that is left is scraps for you to fight over. This is not hyperbole, this is real, it is happening worldwide, the far-right wants power and control.

And apply this to every “journalist” who has ever sat on important information until they could roll it out in a way that benefited them somehow. Looking at you, Michael Wolff. The lot of them should be barred from the profession and shamed out of polite society.

You’ve probably heard me talk about how under my IBR they would be “forgiven” after 20 years of payments… at which point I’d have paid the loan back 3x over and there would STILL be money left to forgive. It makes me sick.

In the year since I’ve lost my job (and thus been unable to make payments) my student loans have accrue an additional 7k in interest.

Seven THOUSAND Dollars added to the debt already hanging around my neck. When people say being poor is expensive, this is an example of what they mean.

Amtrak closes FY25 with record ridership, revenue The company spent the past fiscal year launching new services and improving the customer experience with new trains and upgraded safety policies.

Despite challenges Amtrak closes FY 25 with record ridership and revenue. People want to ride trains! Give the people more trains!

Even more true when you arrested dudes like this based on hearsay from on off duty cop who supposedly overheard something—arresting regular degular white dudes who work in education for protecting people’s kids is going to piss off even the normies.

I have never been able to convey her near-total obsession with Bobby properly. What I can say with authority is that it seeped into every corner of her life, affected every relationship she had, and drove every decision she made in late 2023 and all of 2024, including her catch-and-kill operations on his behalf, the campaign strategy memos she wrote him, and the other journalistic transgressions that have still not been disclosed.

okay so here’s the actual bad part of the article

“oh it never affected my coverage” horse and also shit

and what the fuck is Lizza doing sitting on this while RFK takes a buzz saw to American health so he can sell substack subscriptions

ghouls, the lot of them

The Mamdani-Trump meeting is breaking my brain, ngl 😂🫠

Word of the day is ‘quockerwodger’ (19th century): a puppet politician whose strings are pulled entirely by someone else.

Seeing this as I was scrounging around in bed for mine 😂

I figure even if they come in a digital form now, a mixtape is a mixtape is a mixtape! Love that idea of being a tiny dj for only my friends tho lol
