I listened to this and it was better than a therapy session

you have to defend all of the people’s rights. all of the people, all of the rights. you simply have to, the enemy is perfectly content to chip away at them little by little because they think they will eventually carve out their ideal nation. there is no alternative to taking on the entire cause.

I don’t fly all that often but I’m a well oiled machine through security lol. It’s not that hard to set things up ahead and be prepared! (It’s probably also partially driven by anxiety 🤷🏻‍♀️)

Amazon Change Means Wishlists Might Expose Your Address Amazon is allowing gift senders to choose items from third-party sellers, which could open recipients up to new privacy risks.

NEW: Amazon is telling people who use its wishlists feature to switch to post office boxes or non-residential delivery addresses if they want to ensure their home addresses remain private, as part of a change in how it processes gifts bought from third-party sellers.

Important insight. ALSO, I have no patience (and I mean ZERO) with people who say "they won't ban birth control." They will eventually try BECAUSE WHAT THEY WANT IS TO CONTROL YOUR BODILY AUTONOMY. We need to be proactive about BODILY AUTONOMY IN GENERAL.

Here is @aoc.bsky.social thankfully telling everyone exactly what to do to stop a concentration camp from being built where you live.

Please take it to heart and take action.

The Corvette Will Always Be Dad's Car For every car person, there is a model that got them into cars. For me, it was the Corvette. Dad had a series of them until he decided to have a kid, and as that kid, I am still salty about that.

Dad would've been 85 today. Happy birthday, old man. www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/...

Modest proposal: What if instead of hitting yourself in the face with a hammer you just got interested in some things you like and found someone who also likes those things.

This is a great thread. Read this, then read Rory’s article if you hadn’t already.

3. everyone who can read this deserves unselfconscious joy through whatever means they can find it - it is a fundamental part of the human experience and whether that’s creating art or watching sports or driving a big, silly, loud, happy Corvette, I hope you find a way to unlock that part of you

“As we prepare for more waves of bad news, I’m remembering that there is always a next right thing to do, that I am never alone in my despair, and that when we come together, we can create new worlds that are kinder and more of what we all deserve." - B Loewe

This is funny coming from a dude who can’t pump his own gas because it’s so vewy scawy

I’m the mermaid because her titties are out

The reason we're here is that tens of millions of people will punch a hole in a wall if they hear someone used food stamps to buy soda but they're fine if the right-wing podcaster turned fbi director uses his taxpayer funded private jet to go party whenever he feels like it bsky.app/profile/thed...

Realizing I’m also sorta anxious in public and hate feeling like I’m wasting peoples’ time so maybe that’s what drives my (sometimes) efficiency lol

I asked the flight attendant for a coffee with two creams and one sugar. He smiled and said “thank you! You’re the first person I haven’t had to ask how they wanted it” and I laughed because is including that info not normal??

I 100% unironically love this movie, even with its flaws, and it maintains a spot in my comfort/rewatch list. I guess I should finally pull the books up in my list lol

You jam the bridges and you cut a lot of neighborhoods in Brooklyn and Queens off from the nearest big emergency rooms. It's a legit public safety issue beyond keeping the streets clear for plows.

If these forecasts hold up, 1000% the correct call. Cars will get stranded on the streets (and worse, the bridges) and the plows will not be able to get through.

This joke is for people over the age of, like, 65…

And me, who first heard this song at age ~7 on a mixtape where the DJ popped in to say “A horny little song from the Playmates” before transitioning to “Drive My Car”, and didn’t catch the double entendres until many years later lol

This, btw, is a thing New York has done going back to before Fiorello La Guardia

Look at this photograph

Pup, no 🤭

Him: *starts DMB “Crash Into Me”*

Her: no, not like that

Him: 👀 *swaps to Demo Derby hits*

Her: 🫦

Picturing the type of guy who traded the “alphabet method” for the button pressing cadence laid out in The Playmates’ “Beep Beep”, and no that’s not how musical inspiration should work on the bedroom

I’ve tried both and will always prefer butter (ymmv). But! My sister sent a recipe that used both and in that specific preparation it really did add something to the overall flavor which was quite delicious!

It should be noted I have nothing against Canadians. This is just a silly excuse to reshare one of my favorite modern heist stories :)
