Land of 10,000 Takes

As Council Members showered shitty landlords with praise this happened outside, yet some members think we're outside of the ICE crisis enough to justify a veto'able vote on the eviction moratorium.

saw a cybertruck the other day with big blocky T O Y O T A letters on the front, real haphazardly applied

thank you for making this. actually laughed out loud while watching it. Needed that boost today

you can change public opinion. It's possible! This is huge

Ilhan Omar: Five steps to take in response to Operation Metro Surge "Nothing about what we witnessed was normal," U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar writes. "Where do we go from here?"

Trump’s “Operation Metro Surge” was a militarized campaign of fear that treated immigrants as criminals and weaponized the federal government against U.S. citizens.

We need independent investigations, real accountability, and to abolish ICE.

My op-ed:

we heard you. we went back to the drawing board. we are now proud to present our brand initiative for 2026: Purge Night for Girls

one of these days I'm gonna miss my mute hotkey on my mouse when I've gotta burp but today is not that day

Congressional Dems are in a tough spot. On one hand, they could gain incredible advantage in the upcoming midterms by vigorously denouncing Trump's reckless war. On the other hand, they like it.

“Elite human capital”. Jesus. Has that guy ever been able to express an idea without it being in the weirdest, grossest way possible?

I think it’s not necessarily a good sign that I hadn’t even heard he debuted in the rumble until today. I don’t watch WWE but just being into pro wrestling I generally hear about stuff through osmosis. Not even my buds who watch the fed mentioned it

9 times out of 10 I don’t hear another person say a word at the gym I go to. It’s kinda weirdly quiet but it’s mostly just people minding their own business. These two young guys started showing up recently and they’re always good for a laugh. They’re not hurting anyone. Just kinda… dopey

Somebody was saying that watching establishment Democrats learn that saying obviously true things about foreign policy is popular is like watching a toddler take its first steps

at the gym the other day I experienced an intense gym guy stereotype moment. two young 20's guys. "you ever hit legs?"
"naw, man. Not really. Maybe once a month." turns around and pops a zyn before starting his next lift.

Literally sitting in the City Council hearing about eviction prevention paying rents while I’m waiting to speak. If you want to help keep 11 immigrant families in public housing from being imminently evicted, I’m trying to raise $2500 for them 💛

Always fun when you run into something right before everyone is having the same problem. Happened to me last week and I got to be the IT crew's canary in the coal mine.

I definitely had the knee-jerk reaction I think a lot of people did when I saw the pullquote. Clicked through, read a chunk, realized it was a substack and then got real, real unsure of it. I'm not saying it's not accurate reporting, but it's hard to use it as proof of scale

this is, for the record, not me saying you shouldn't be hostile to substack. Genuinely shocked there's as many people on it as there are.

for a site that is as hostile to substack as it is, bluesky loves to pass one around when it reenforces their priors.

fuck, I’m sorry, I can’t compete with this

Good news! It’s only about an hour and fifteen minutes

HBO Max just got it a few days ago

Watching the way it was intended: interrupted my multiple ads for Walmart starring Walton Goggins

Hey just saw the name Yoshitaka Amano in the credits alright let’s fucking go

Just a few minutes in and I’m way, way into it. Going in basically knowing nothing other than people say this is good and it’s a big deal that it’s streaming in the US

Giving Angel’s Egg a shot.

I think that’s the only thing that allows her to hit the tone and the verbiage so well. It’s kinda depressing tho

Best thing on tv imo

Ragnarok... tries to address it? That's about as much as I can give it in that respect. Idk how successful it is at it other than there are more women with speaking roles who actually matter. (not that more than 1 is all that many.)

This is the cutest thing I've seen in a minute. the HeHe absolutely kills me
