Protesters Urged Not To Give Trump Administration Pretext For What It Already Doing

Everybody say thank you Vornie

Can't believe so many people are after the Trader Joe plain canvas bag when the CHEESE BAG exists

Me: I will just relax for a few minutes by playing a mindless game on my phone

Phone: Cool, every 90 seconds you will just need to watch a little animated snuff film featuring a mother and child freezing to death, or a king slowly being crushed against a spiky wall by piles of falling rubble

I can’t believe I was literally just at the UN to talk about how games can be used by extremists to recruit and radicalize people, but do not in themselves cause violence, and NBC is out here like “he played among us”

Last month I was shopping for a fire blanket to hang over the pellet stove for safety, and the 5-star blanket had thousands of reviews about how easy it was to install, how good it looked, and how safe it made them feel.

The 1-star reviews all said "the fire blanket caught on fire"

That truly was the "What's sexier than wizards" fight of all time #criticalrolespoilers

There are songs I've listened to literally twice on my Spotify Wrapped top 100.

Former Amazon worker here; do not cross this picket line. Don't do it. Don't even order from them (unless absolutely necessary). They're a disgusting company to work for and the reason for my knee problems that required years of physical therapy.

Fuck Amazon. We stand with the workers! 👊🏻✨

I have had some banger lines in DnD the past two weeks.

Ea-nāṣir is the recipient of the world’s oldest complaint letter. He’s reportedly the worst businessman of the 18th century, a mediocre conman whose actions should have him put out of business. Is this fair?

Here’s a thread on the most up-to-date research on this captivating figure.

democrats in congress will really be like "you believe in preserving human rights? that pales in effectiveness to my strategy of fighting for what's really important" and then not fight for what's really important

Never has a crime so obscene been so confessed to, so endlessly, so shamelessly, so proudly

So after this happened, I decided to Surprise Trade a whole box to see what happened:

13/30 trades were for hacked shinies, all with their shitty websites as their nickname.

Make that 4

Hey does anyone know what's going on with Surprise Trade right now? I've done 3 and gotten 3 hacked shinies in a row #pokemon

A cover for The Atlantic, showing an androgynous model front and center in a "health report" with a misgendering title text of "Your child says she's trans, she wants hormones and surgery, and she's 13 by Jesse Singal" a notorious writer obsessed with trans people. And in other text are smaller headings like "Being Black in America can take years off your life", "What Book should everyone on Earth Read", and in tiny print "We're not prepared for the next pandemic"

one of my favorite "SOCIETY" things is this 2018 cover of the news magazine The Atlantic, written by mealy-mouthed bigot Jesse Singal, where a moral panic about us transgender people is front and center, and in TINY little print in the top right, "We're Not Prepared for the Next Pandemic"

Deactivated and uninstalled Twitter.

I don't know how to explain this to anyone normal

Reddit - Dive into anything r/TruePokemon is the home for intellectual and insightful discussion about anything to do with Pokémon.

It would be real funny if everyone deleted their Twitter account on the same day

Grad school apps :(
