When drivers inch forward or rev their engines to get a pedestrian to go quicker they are saying, "You don't belong here." They are using their cars to intimidate others. A pedestrian has just as much right to the roadway as a driver does.
i see a lot of folks posting variations of, "dems won't do anything if they win! they'll just return to the same old same old!" but, speaking from personal experience, the failures of biden and the extreme nature of the current trump admin have caused many in the staffer class to go absolutely rabid
I grew up in an almost identical church community (I think our pastors actually knew one another) and it is so great to see lefty Presbyterianism getting its flowers for once!!!
Ummm, Bluesky expert here, this is not cute, poasters only do this when extremely distressed
Well both platforms are now owned by interests loyal to the US right wing, so maybe not.
Someone in NYC should do interviews with middle-school kids who take the subway to and from school every day, to see if they have any advice for Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy who can't seem to go a single day without pissing himself in fear over them.
Idk man, could be that a bunch of 19-year-olds who were too young to cut their teeth on the eruptions in 2020 got organized in 2024-25, and then were battered mercilessly by police officers with batons and guns. They got expelled, suspended, sent to detention camps. That does something to someone

I understand the urge to take your frustrations out on internet randoms because the world is currently on fire but I am not your gal
I’m a shitlib who enthusiastically voted for Harris and have conflicting feelings about the Uncommitted movement, but it’s March 2026 and I think we might have bigger fish to fry at the moment than berating people over a failed tactic from two years ago
I’d respond to you in earnest but I have a feeling you’d rather sneer at the youths for being upset about the state of the world
Among the other problems with this incredible take is that in addition to the chilling effect of violence, the last 14 months has seen an executive assault on public higher education. Grants have been pulled, university presidents have been run out, and campus groups have been shuttered.
Respectfully, eat shit. Those kids were expelled, arrested, and targeted relentlessly by their school administrations with the specific goal of preventing further protest. Eighteen year old kids were held down and maced by campus security, hit point blank with tear gas canisters by riot cops.
(Mortified by my spelling and grammar errors, but that’s what I get for trying to Poast on my lunch break)
Like, did outside forces take advantage of the situation? Of course, but most of these young people were rightfully pretty distressed about all of war crimes they could see every time they picked up their phone
Maybe the constant streaming footage of human atrocities had something to do with it… nah, most be a Russian op
Cosign all of Jonny's writing here, I occasionally cover the sports betting industry and consider myself reasonably well-informed about how it works, and there were several entire chapters in this book where I was just, like, holy shit, I had no idea, man
Remembering the USMNT win v Iran in 2022. Several Iranian players were devastated, weeping on the pitch. More than one of our guys sat there and held them while they cried. It went beyond graciousness in victory; it was pure human empathy. That's how the beautiful game is supposed to be, YET NOW
I’m sorry, the suffering is infinite and things are genuinely fucking dire, but it is truly hilarious that the nazis ran into the middle east while screaming “logistics and diplomacy are fake and gay” and now they’re trying to ask everyone else to fix the strait of hormuz because tfw no more THAADs
i am the target market for everything about menopause right now but it's EXTREMELY FISHY that there's absolute explosion of interest in peri/menopause product advertising *while* trans women don't have access to hormones & every republican wants us to push out babies like coins from a slot machine
this is how i'm going to be when it happens

wait. wait. everyone hold on. i've solved it
We are so, so, so, so much freer under the thumbs of the most dogmatic wokescolds imaginable than we are under these supposedly fun-loving, free-wheeling, non-dogmatic extrajudicial murderers and billionaire genocidaires
use the chatbots if you must, but just know the people who sell these things are a bunch of rotten solipsists who hate you and want you to die
Desperately calling "Why won't you insure the ships filled with flammables that have to go through the bombing gauntlet!"
Also tough sell to a tanker owner for a ship that isn't exactly built in a day "Hey man, it's insured!"
Tougher sell to the crew.
Internal messages from Live Nation reveal two execs talking about "robbing [fans] blind."
“These people are so stupid. I almost feel bad taking advantage of them," one says.
That man is now the head of ticketing for the unit responsible for Live Nation's 150 amphitheaters.
