so many books like “Alycssonne was Not Like Other Girls because she was The Fanciest Specialist Chosen One as Ordained by the Prophecies Of Old and you can tell because she doesn’t obsess over hair care and boys and she likes books and she’s super hot but, like, not in an obvious way"

There is something really wrong with people who need workers to be not just competent, but slavishly fake-happy. "Slavishly" used on purpose, bc that's where this grotesquerie comes from.

A few years ago my local Target leaned into a similar policy and I stopped going because it made me so uncomfortable. Trying to do my shopping and people keep popping up staring at my eyeballs and making me talk to them. Horrifying. Also unfair to the employees. Makes boycotting easier I guess.

Yeah because *lack of smiling* was the problem...

The employee, who is Indian and a U.S. citizen, was stopped and questioned by agents while working on the Busse Highway resurfacing project. Three agents, wearing masks, questioned him about his immigration status - and also asked him if he had traveled to New York and if he was “aware” of the mayor-elect in New York City, the governor’s office said.

Here's a disgusting new twist to the Kavanaugh stop: Are you aware of Zorhan Mamdani? WHAT THE HELL? Read this

Everyone's gonna be normal about Brendan Fraser's body in the new Mummy movie, right?

Spare a thought for centrist dem consultants this morning.

They just learned their ideal candidate for the Democratic 2028 presidential ticket has passed away.

Head in hands wondering how this could happen to me, the popular president who posted a video of myself shitting on everyone 2 weeks ago

the first muslim woman being elected to statewide office (in any state!) the day dick cheney died is beautiful

Happy Reformation Day! I hope everyone left a plate of grace out for Martin Luther last night.

"someone sucking up that hard does not have your best interests at heart" this is an underrated point

Well, an acquaintance who relies on the ACA marketplace for insurance just received a notice explaining that their fee for coverage will be rising. Right now they pay $180 a month. The new price?

$2733.15 a month.

My kids’ school is on lockdown. Because of ICE. On fucking Halloween.

From an Evanston resident filming an arrest at Oakton/Asbury ~an hour ago:

"He was being very violent with her, I said ‘You got to stop that,’ and he said, ‘Step back or I’ll fucking shoot you.‘ I step back, and then I continue to record, at which point he turned around and pointed a gun at me.”

It's going to be so amazing being alive in 2026 because the front page will say "BREAKING Mamdani Received Free Cheese Pizza From a Local Vendor, Calls to Resign Mount" and then on page 3 you'll see "Hegseth's Pentagon Rape Dungeon Raises Legal Questions."

A few years ago I was looking at a Facebook Memory post of my cat demanding attention while said cat was again demanding attention. So I took a picture of him next to his picture. That picture came up today and guess who was demanding attention?

The DNC has been relying on "the other guy is worse so you peasants better vote for whoever we give you and be grateful" method for decades and it's driving this behavior.

Just purchased - excited to check it out!

Congrats, The Atlantic and The New York Times, this is the country you've created.

There is a full-on push in NYC right now to use "Mamdani doesn't make Jews 'feel safe'" as a cudgel to get Cuomo into office, and it is utterly disgusting. You know what makes me feel unsafe? People who casually characterize us as a trembling single-issue monolith scared of the big bad Muslim.

ppl forgot the original context of "no purity tests" - campaigns for ppl to sit out GENERAL elections bc the D candidate wasn't pure enough, thus electing the worse R. This PRIMARY IS THE EXACT TIME FOR PURITY TESTING. It's when you decide what kind of candidate you want to run. All issues are on.

Yes. I now use clothespins to clip the outgoing mail to the outside of the mailbox, which has mostly resolved this issue for me. Although one time someone took the clothespin?

A president with a lower approval rating than the Vietnam War, incredible

Ahhhh I'm finally watching Thunderbolts* and they did a fastball special!

I would have seen Thunderbolts* in the theater, possibly more than once, if I'd realized they were
doing good MCU movies again. People told me it was great and they were right.

Batman: The Animated Series was just too good. I'm watching the episode that introduces Poison Ivy, who is dining with Harvey Dent. He gets a salad and she orders SNAILS.

I am finding two ways of thinking about this in South Africa

1. USAID cuts immediately closed SA trans clinics, and trans ppl, cut off from gender affirming care, have since died by suicide

2. USAID cuts have cut HIV/AIDS medication access, which takes months or years to manifest in deaths

Hell, I used to have a home darkroom setup so I could develop film and make prints shot with my trusty Pentax K1000, Charlie.

“Fascism” isn’t a slur for politics we don’t like. It’s a precise word with precise meaning. And in the face of what’s happening right now in America, it’s the most honest one we have.

I’ll lay it out as plainly as I can. 🧵
