Coffee for me, please

Why is every Democrat not responding like this, truly

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

But the news media's coverage (or lack thereof) of Trump's video demonstrates not only their normalization of Trump's insanity, as Jacob put it, but their dishonesty as well. The New York Times knows damn well what the "brown liquid" in Trump's video was. It was not subtle, as either visual or metaphor. By pretending there was some ambiguity about what Trump was dropping, the Times lied to its readers. If you cannot trust the New York Times to be honest about the president of the United States posting a depiction of himself dropping a load of literal shit on the American people, you can never trust the New York Times to fully detail Trump's misdeeds. This is not a complex tax proposal about which it is difficult to draw definitive conclusions. This is a video of Donald Trump shitting on America, posted by Donald Trump. There is no uncertainty here, except that invented by the New York Times for the purposes of soft-peddling the man's cruelty and the dangerously incomplete deck of cards with which he is playing. One of the most common defenses people inevitably offer for bad coverage by big media companies is that they're just giving the people what they want -- they cover things that get clicks, and don't cover things that don't. This would be a lousy defense even if it was true, as journalism should be about covering the important, not merely the popular. But it isn't really true, either, and the New York Times' coverage of this weekend's events demonstrates that. I'm pretty sure there's an audience for high-quality coverage of mass demonstrations that draw millions of Americans to protest their unpopular president. And, for better or worse, there's definitely an internet audience for "President Posts Video Of Himself Shitting On American People."

I vote for Dora.

If "ain't that some bullshit" was a painting

I think you should draw the first one.

I'll do anything to stay in shape, other than work out or eat right.

My personal timeline is full of autistic people trying to explain that there isn't more autism than before, it's just that we're better at detecting it, and there's nothing more autistic than hoping explaining something at length will help matters when nobody is really listening.

Congrats, Kid2!

Chloe was a student of mine and I later got to meet Zach through her when they started dating and I'm delighted to report they're both pretty fantastic people.

Have the day you voted for

I hope the vomiting stops.

Pastor, there are some delicious oatmeal chocolate chip cookies out there.

a brown shiba inu pokes her head out from underneath a beige colored sheet. her expression is inquisitive as she stares into the camera with a slight closed mouth smirk.

This is Hana. She found a secret hiding place. Also happens to be very bad at keeping secrets. 13/10 (IG: hanachan_1111)

The @washingtonpost.com has changed its slogan again, from “Democracy Dies In Darkness” to “Know Your Place.”

The assassination of Charlie Kirk makes we worry we can no longer have peaceful discussions of whether gays should be stoned to death or civil and collegial debates about whether black people are inherently inferior. Our culture will suffer.

New York Times tomorrow

what a humiliating way for don jr. to find out his dad sends birthday cards.

Just thinking about how fighting the Nazis in WWII was pretty woke

It should never be easier to access a gun than a vaccine.

The mental health benefits of not knowing any history right now must be massive. Moving through your day with total equanimity. What happens next? Who knows? Maybe something good

It’s true though.

You’re living the dream

I’m so sorry.

when RFK says he wants to “end chronic disease,” what people hear is “he wants to cure us” but what he means is “i want to cull the weak”

I always do my best proofreading 5 minutes after I hit the button to commit an ECF transaction...

It will never be comprehensible or forgivable that the man who incited a deadly insurrection and attack on our Capitol was able to run again and retake the levers of power.
