Never gonna get over the hot take of, “Take the measles vaccine, since every medical professional recommends it? Naw, I’m gonna go with why a Brady Bunch episode did.” I mean, honestly.

That is the coolest award I think I’ve ever seen. Neat!

Totally makes sense. You could always just draw one on butcher paper, or use command hooks to hang light on the wall in a tree zig zag shape

A haunted house, but it’s just white people who live in white dominant areas, telling you they’ve never seen racism.

“Doesn’t the weather seem weird? It feels hotter than it should be.”

No, it doesn’t seem weird. I’m in my forties and scientists have been literally predicting heat, storms, floods, and wildfires since I was in elementary school. It just seems sad that so many don’t want to try to fix it.

Never has the phrase “Devil’s advocate” been so accurate, than when it’s applied to Trump supporters who are trying to moonlight as decent people.

I just can’t fathom having all the resources of the federal government, and just….NOT using them to help fellow citizens in need. Mind blowing.

lol that is one of the best quotes I’ve ever heard.

Today, in the timeline of my life, will always be the day a spider crawled down my face.

I just hope it will be the only day a spider crawled down my face.

Stay strong and stay peaceful, Los Angeles!

"If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters.”

Isn’t that just the way it goes. Typical.

Ewwwwww that’s just….evil.

I know our government isn’t addressing anything at all of substance right now, but the AI jobs disaster is going to be hitting us like a freight train. It’s already started. And there really isn’t enough conversation about it in society, let alone on Capitol Hill.

This is such a frustrating time. It’s hard not to feel disheartened, when such ridiculous measures are being passed without question by fools.

My city has started bussing out homeless people. Wild to me that people seem to think “homeless” is like a human species that shows up, and not an indicator of lack of social nets, healthcare, and rampant income inequality. That’s also why there were so many during the Great Depression, guys.

Government corporate bailouts should have interest rates that match government student loans. That’s all.

This is great, but wasn’t it already held by Democrats? So they maintained it, but didn’t “flip” it.

lol his self esteem issues are going to be the topic of dissertations for centuries.

Elon is the result of if you told ChatGPT “Make an image of the human embodiment of cringe.”

lol honestly that is an improvement. What circle of hell are we trapped in here?

That’s very true.

Season 3, Episode 4 of Stranger Things quotes one of my favorite movies of all time, and I don't think it gets enough credit for that. "It's fascinating what 20 dollars will get you at the county recorder's office." The number changed from 50 bucks, but it's still great.

I am so tired of seeing the fake faces of the fake Barbie dolls that work in the Trump administration. It’s just frustrating on such a deep level, that nearly every one of them seems to have been chosen for Mar-A-Lago face, extensions, and blind loyalty.

How fun!

Similar experiences here. I’ve been pinging Tesla for years about how when my car takes me home with FSD, it wants me to go four miles out of my way. It literally thinks a huge chunk of highway doesn’t exist. And it started turning on the wrong turn signal last week, and crossing the double yellow!

Got my new custom hat in the mail today.
