remember this phenomenal fucking post

I read someone refer to loudly disliking Taylor Swift as "shaming teenage girls," but there's no way that's her main demographic in 2025, right

I had an owner who was often very childlike but even childlike she could be a good dom

think about how hot a demanding, bratty (conventional sense of the word), spoiled child attitude can be!

Boston Globe. “Longstanding policy” is federal law passed in 2019. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/07/n...

These people are evil. Never stop saying so. Don’t be intimidated into shutting up.

historically bad layout decision by twitter and its imitators (making direct eye contact with jack dorsey) to put quoted posts below their captions, so in order to get context in the proper order you must read bottom-to-top (often within towers of screenshotted quotes). enables untold stupid dunkage

me, my empire, & the caretaker AI that forces me to wet myself onto my throne until there is a visible puddle forming in front of foreign dignitaries

I hold special resentment for folks who responded to warnings about how bad this administration would be with volunteeringly responding withiut any prompting "Well, i can't vote for Kamala."

Like, no, there werent enough of them to swing the election but im still irked.

pamela-fitzsimmons.bsky.... @pamela-fitzsimmons.bsky.soc... Yes. Sadly, those are what's left of Portland's bragging rights -- great food, beer, wine, coffee and donuts. Oh, there's also cannabis and sex shows.

I love it when people try to say bad stuff about Portland but we just end up sounding rad as fuck.

I wonder if history has any lessons about what happens when large concentrations of armed soldiery stop getting paid.

OMB deletes reference to law guaranteeing backpay to furloughed feds from shutdown guidance An Office of Management and Budget FAQ document now states that only excepted employees forced to work without pay are guaranteed backpay at the conclusion of a lapse in appropriations.

So the White House is now advancing a facially ridiculous theory that the 2019 law guaranteeing furloughed federal workers backpay after a shutdown actually only applied to that particular shutdown.

As with their previous threats, fuck ‘em. Let ‘em try.

sort of striking how bad her performance was, given that she scripted it

Supreme Court: of course states can regulate, and restrict access to, medical procedures if there’s a compelling public interest

Colorado: (bans conversion therapy for minors)

Supreme Court: no not like that, we only meant abortion

INBOX: The Chicago News Guild joined others in suing ICE for attacking journalists at the Broadview facility.

“Our members have a right, protected by the First Amendment, to do their jobs and report the news. They should not be targeted, injured or arrested for doing their jobs.”

So uhhhhh such that they have a “legal” argument is it that they’re intercepting tariff revenue before it hits Treasury somehow so this doesn’t count as violating the appropriations clause, or is it just purely “fuck the constitution”?

Thanks, New Yorker

Because you're anti-women

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

We’re getting very used to this but the statement is unusually unhinged.

We have reached a level of authoritarianism, let’s use the word FASCISM, where the President, based entirely on lies about violence and disorder, and against the will of the governors of the states, can send hostile state’s National Guard to invade and sit on citizens

"They shut down the government, and we are not going to pay you for it."

They are not serious people. They are not politicians. They aren't good at whatever they're trying to do. Once again, if they were smart they could've insulated themselves for 30 years.

ICE is made up of men who have failed the human test and have nothing of value to offer this nation.

Adults with decency and options and possibilities don’t do this shit.

Picture here is from 1992. LA riots. Ive seen this called bad news judgment. In any real journalism outfit this is more like a firing offense. I basically say such things. Beyond belief.

It would be super cool if when they said this stuff, the interviewer pointed out that we don’t actually have to speculate. We have polling, and it says residents oppose these deployments by HUGE margins.

Lol I didn’t realize Johnson had already gone on record with this fucking disastrous bullshit. What in the world are they actually even thinking? It’s mind boggling.

Would like to know what everyone who ridicules the idea that Trump will have men outside every polling place thinks of Pritzker voicing the same worry

MTG might be a bigot who’d deport every immigrant but at least she didn’t go to an IVY or god forbid a law school lol. These people are so cooked.

It's not just that they're going to strike down a law against conversion therapy, it's that they're going to do it on behalf of made-up claims from a straw plaintiff who can't honestly show the law affected her at all
