yo honestly its actually insane, america is always electing Some Moron, and everyone is like "its so fucking over" and then somehow, things end up ok and then "we're so fucking back." if anything gives me hope for the future, its that we're basically constantly doing Some Shit and bouncing back.

Doing live show prep currently and I'm really coming to understand that American presidents have been weird and rude and uncouth (and caused the rest of the world to cringe) pretty much since we started having presidents

Dunno man, seems a little misleading to write an article about Trump describing activity in Portland and Chicago as “insurrection” with a 33 year old photo of a burning donut shop taken in the 1992 LA Riots (sans caption explaining that) as the header on all your posts about it.

Okay so what if I told you there was a podcast where -

in some ways the computer is a type of guy. :3 a type of guy who can suck, even.

THURSDAY ON TGS: we’ve got a fun little collaboration with @amanda.omg.lol and @isabel.kim of Wow If True and the guy in question is less of a ‘who’ and more of a ‘what.’ Anyways, back to scrolling!

CFP: A Time of Monsters The monster has been here all along. It is a historical constant that manifests in wildly different ways across time, place, and culture. Whatever form it takes, the monster claws at categories; it un...

If you are a supporter and reader of @contingent-mag.bsky.social one of the biggest things you can do to help us at the moment is get this CFP to the NTT folks in your life. The fracturing of social media has made it very difficult to get the word out esp. to adjuncts and VAPs.

Definitely not, the people I’m seeing (including apparently lifelong swifties) are absolutely panning it and saying they think it’s MAGA coded and embarrassing lol

As a zillennial woman with the commensurate social media algorithms and all they entail, I can officially announce that TikTok has turned on Taylor Swift

An Institute for Justice lawyer replied to me on Twitter. They already have one class action lawsuit in Alabama and are working on getting in touch with the citizens impacted by the Chicago ICE raid.

TODAY ON TGS: I was joined by the brilliant Dan Hicks @profdanhicks.bsky.social to talk partly about George Pitt-Rivers, but also partly about the way powerful people marginalize others both before and after they die.

Oh I’ve got those in spades!

The secret is to get a wheel of brie that almost exactly fits in the container you’re using to bake it! I like to slice the top in a sort of hashtag pattern and then put some sliced fruit, drizzle of honey, nuts, and whatever herb I’ve got on hand, and then bake at 375 w/ the lid on for 15-20 mins

My body is a machine built specifically for turning brie into baked brie

We just upgraded all of our extremely undergrad-coded tupperware and ice cube trays and let me tell you, I think I might finally be ready for adulthood

Welcome back Richard Nixon

Anyways I sure wish we had a fully functioning and funded CDC. Perhaps they might have an idea or two

Is it just me or are there a lot of listeria outbreaks all of a sudden
