They tried to arrest people for saying "you should follow the law" which really tells you where we are at lol

Of all the texts that ask for money, the ones that do wacky things with fonts…

THE DILDO DISTRIBUTION DELEGATION The revolution did not arrive with speeches, pamphlets, or a carefully moderated Zoom call about optics.

Love the creativity in Minneapolis. Click for pics.

This dude is intense and correct

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

with his $253.2 billion, Jeff Bezos could afford to pay 100 sportswriters $100,000 a year for the next 25,000 years

I know "boomers typing haha" but seriously what is up with all the equals signs SPECIFICALLY in those emails

Watching the Ashley St. Clair interview and reading the Kanye West ad and spending some time today allowing myself to hope and maybe even almost kind of a little bit believe that people really can change/get help/renounce vile shit. Almost! Maybe! Just for me, I'm not telling you what to do!

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

Can anyone tell me what this MEANS. I can think of lots of meanings! What does it mean?

They called it Best Medicine but they could have called it Beach House

Get your war on 3: ok I hate to act like a fucking dumbass but are we at war? I mean, did we ever officially declare war? Declare war? Who's got time to declare war when there are so many bombs to drop

Imagine being one of the men who escaped Maduro’s Venezuela, sought asylum in the U.S., got instead sent to months of hell in El Salvador, got sent back to the country you’d fled in the first place as if that was some kind of win for you, and now finds out the U.S. says it’s running your country too

If things were different, Chevy Chase could really play Ben Franklin right now

36 with one but effectively yeah

As politely as possible, the absolute epidemic of elder millennials to young Gen X performing the rites of early adulthood in film and TV is out of control. I say this watching 47-year old Bryan Greenberg as a guy Emily in Paris meets at Friends-themed bar trivia.

There seems to be a glitch on the Us Weekly website where the word "addresses" triggers a sales link that reads "(🛒Up to 50% off Dresses!)" which is bringing something special to this article about a reality TV star facing their addiction

Rewatching New Girl for generalized comfort and I’m in the Mr. Fancyman episodes and he just said “Jess, I’m 42! I’ve made a lot of money, and I enjoy spending it!” and now I am back where I started.

In Christmas movies, the bad boyfriend is always rich and high powered and not emotional enough, which is just SO DIFFERENT than the bad boyfriends of real life.

We make fun of celebrities and rich people for having giftwrapping rooms but when you’re surreptitiously wrapping gifts in your parents’ guest room on a lumpy bed it’s like, are they onto something?

I know the M.O. for newsletters is regularity but I get the MOST excited when I see a newsletter from someone who hasn't written their newsletter in a long time because it means they had something they HAD to say.
