the onion should do the funniest thing ever and start up a subsidiary that does real news

if there was a rich person with the will, you could build the most incredible news organization that has ever existed just from the wreckage of this year alone.

Oh my god I had a panic attack Rufus Wainwright died

My friend told me that her 14 year old son started doing laundry on Sundays for some of his elderly neighbors. He doesn't charge for the labor. And now he is the most popular person in the building and has non stop pies, cookies, and cake. The 14 year old should be our model of modern masculinity.

I'd rather be back driving a forklift than deal with this bullshit. Fuck this ethos, fuck these companies, and especially fuck all the CEOs.

Someone appears to have gotten their hands on a NO PARKING ANY TIME sign, but they blocked out the par part so it says no king lol

ooh well done

the difference between a wonderful audiobook performance by a gifted voice actor and this "digital voice" horseshit masquerading as legit audiobooks makes me steaming mad. good narration is important and deserves to be paid for!!!!!!

I promise: nobody read “waffles” as a lighthearted inside joke w/ the team about upcoming moderation systems. If folks are hurting your feelings, making you defensive or making things un-fun, *say that*! You can be vulnerable. But don’t fuck up the potential with petty shit when people are hurting.

1939

Just so I'm clear:

TV host says we should kill every homeless person? No big deal

TV host says the right must "go to war" with the left? Pfft.

TV host says the government is cracking down on critics? Well, the government cracks down on him for the criticism.

Free speech, everyone.

The word is, and it's a strong word at that, Jimmy Kimmel is NEXT to go in the untalented Late Night Sweepstakes and, shortly thereafter, Fallon will be gone. These are people with absolutely NO TALENT, who were paid Millions of Dollars for, in all cases, destroying what used to be GREAT Television. It's really good to see them go, and I hope I played a major part in it! Trump Truth Social post, July 22, 2025.

Don't buy the canard that this is about Charlie Kirk. Abusing state power to lean on corporate leaders and get Jimmy Kimmel off the air because he told jokes about the president and made him feel bad was always the plan.

Just some advice as both a seasoned activist & a survivor of domestic violence : The idea that how you react to violence dictates whether or not more violence will be inflicted upon you/your community is a framing that only helps those in power.

We're talking about people triggered by pronouns, ffs

democrat melissa hortman was literally politically assassinated in her fucking home less than 3 months ago and now everyone wants to comment on how bad it’ll be now like ok

All those people whining about how this wasn't the right time and but what about my convenience: Air Canada didn't lift a finger to negotiate. They ran out the clock and sat on their asses knowing the government would order back to work. Flight attendants said NO. AC made a real offer in >24 hrs.

So badass. Repost if you support unions.

You ‘run the gamut’ and ‘run the gauntlet.’

You don’t ‘run the gambit.’

gamut = entire range or series

gauntlet = severe trial

As you can imagine it's been a difficult few years for me. I won't be online a lot over the next few days (obviously) but if you're a praying person please do keep everyone affected by this in your prayers. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...
