That’s why I’m taking the Become More Annoying Challenge, sponsored by Lockheed Martin

Crying and throwing up in my SUV at the gas station. Please I'll do anything. I'll put pronouns in my bio. I actually love DEI

I love world building

valorized. of course I meant valorized

i know some other empires that should be vaporized!

Saying "over half of the company's employees are people of color!" is so funny. What part of PoC making up the majority of retail employees is incompatible with systemic racism?!

Reminds me of the museum docent who told me the Pullman Car Company was anti-racist because they hired black porters.

I was obsessed with the show wife swap in middle school and applied my family to be on it and they ended up calling my dad to talk about casting us and I was grounded for 2 months

This thing is so sick and I’m thrilled the brace is on it. I won a wooden racquet tournament in high school with this thing, mainly because I was big into serve and volley at the time and you can’t really hit groundstrokes with this lol

Look what just emerged from storage

They should really make @coletteshade.bsky.social's book mandatory reading at this point

<20 minutes later> we have run out of missiles to fight the viral burger wars

“Viral Burger Wars” the last kind of war this country is equipped to fight

He had grown up in a country run by politicians who sent the pilots to man the bombers to kill the babies to make the world safe for children to grow up in.

Yes! I have two small kids and they are amazing and I cherish even the hardest moments that I’m lucky to share with them but also we pay $2,400/month for daycare that runs for 6 hours a day and everything in this country is built antithetically to every need a family has to raise healthy children.

They're calling me 'the most correct person to ever live'.

lmao they got the two guys in the front doing the sorority girl pose

Anyway the best thing that could happen, something that would positively impact every part of society, would be Gen Z women collectively saying “hmm that sounds like a terrible deal actually” and starting the conversation from there

weird how nicely this meshes with the stories about how Gen Z men aren't having sex

“Oh so you wanna play life on Angry God Mode”

And that’s why “birth rate” garbage is fundamentally right wing. Because they know on some level that this is true and that they can’t reasonably ask people to have kids, so instead their answer becomes authoritarian measures

It is by every objective material measure a terrible idea to have kids in the United States. It upends your life and life is already pretty hard here! There is no reasonable way to recommend someone do it beyond abstract arguments about “meaning.”

It seems like in this piece the young women are actually grappling with what having kids means, and the men like the idea of flattering themselves with the concept

How can I put this. Being a parent is the most meaningful and joyful part of my own life, and any time I see someone wondering aloud if they should have kids my reflex is always “what, no, are you insane, run”

this happened to my buddy Eric

watching The Manchurian Candidate (2004)

I HATE THE FUTURE! I HATE THE FUTURE

Modern Republican position is that the Redcoats acted properly at the Boston Massacre

I followed that guy because he does cool bird drawings. And then, also, Budweiser Mushroom Cloud
