Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

I know someone whose last four in her phone number are 1488. I made a face when we exchanged numbers, and she said, "Yeah, I thought about changing it, but this way, I figure no one who wants it can have it."

The word is "approve." When bigots say they don't "agree" with [group they fear and hate], what they mean and are too cowardly to say is that they don't approve. Agreement/disagreement suggests a defensible position. Approval/disapproval exposes how arbitrary it all is.

Mazal tov!

And even if their goals meshed better, all of the key players in the admin are egomaniacs who hate each other. They're all crabs in a bucket with switchblades.

Yeah, a president couch fucker would be bad, but what makes Trump so dangerous is his cult of personality. Vance doesn't have that kind of juice. I suspect if Trump goes, there'll be in-fighting and different factions vying for power. Still bad for all of us, but more chaos than Vance taking over.

okay we're doing this again I guess!

There's a photographer/YouTuber, Jessica Kobeissi, who reacts to ANTM on her channel. She's not exactly making documentaries, but it is interesting to get a professional photographer's perspective nonetheless. She's even gotten to interview some of the contestants.

It's (almost) never really about the well-being of the child. It's about assuaging the anxiety of the parent.

Hey man I know you’re getting ratioed to hell right now but I just want you to know you deserve it and your suffering fills me with joy

Apart from petty greed, I think a lot of them are living out the Principal Skinner meme. They can't stand the idea that they are aging and no longer have their fingers on the pulse of the electorate, so they keep trying to convince us that we're wrong about what we want.

Screenshot of Reddit post titled: Woman demands my seat at packed coffee shop... then gets mad when I don't leave immediately I was at my local coffee shop this morning, one of those cozy places where there's like 6 tables max, and it's always full. I had my laptop out, headphones in, sipping my latte, just trying to get a little work done before heading into the office. About 30 minutes in, this woman (probably late 40s?) comes up to me and taps my table. I take out one earbud and she goes, "Excuse me, I've been waiting and you've been here long enough. Mind letting someone else sit for a bit?" I'm kinda caught off guard because... huh?? Like yeah it's busy, but no one owns the tables. I politely tell her, "Hey, sorry, I'm still working, I'll probably be here another 20 mins or so." And then she rolls her eyes and goes, "Unbelievable. Some people are just so inconsiderate." And THEN she sits at the edge of my table. Like?? Just fully parks herself there. Didn't even wait for me to say anythir I try to keep working but she s making these loud sighs, like she wants to make sure I know she's annoyed. A couple people nearby noticed and kinda side-eyed her but no one said anything. Eventually I just packed up because the vibes were off and I wasn't gonna finish anything with her throwing a silent tantrum two feet away. Anyway, I get that space is limited, but entitlement doesn't get you a chair faster. You can ask, but "no" is a valid answer. What happened to basic manners? Just needed to rant a bit. Anyone else had someone try to claim your space like that? I'm genuinely curious how v'all handle these kinds of interactions.

The comments make me feel like I've completely lost my mind.

1) Harvey Weinstein is in prison?

2) Please list the consequences Aziz Ansari suffered.

I agree that Ansari got unfairly swept up in MeToo discourse, but as I recall, nothing bad happened to him as a result.

No.

Nope.

No no no no no no no no.

I thought I was up on my incel bullshit, but yeah, this one is new to me.

It was never about antisemitism From abducting college students to an attack on a Jewish governor, Trump’s real motivations remain clear.

I’ve been wanting to write this for a while. So I finally did.

Cheering them on, from what I've seen.

I dunno Lizzie, try marrying someone who actually likes you. It's been pretty cool for me so far.

Because everyone's trying to take his watches!

Serious reply: either something something biology, men also have problems or, simply, nuh-uh.

Again, do you mean Tesla or several of his children?

Wow, so I didn't have to go through a year-long program, get the approval of a beit din, and dunk in the mikvah? Color me embarrassed.

No foul play, just good clean fun.

Yeah, that is the only way I can see this being incorrect, but that is a truly bizarre thing to ask of a second grader. I don't think I started learning about variables until 5th or 6th grade.

I genuinely don't think Elon fucks. All of his living children were conceived via IVF, as far as I know.
