Person calling the Butterball Hotline: I’m sorry but didn’t this service used to be free? And now you’re telling me it’s 11.99 a minute?

Butterball Employee: yes that’s right

Butterball CEO: friends I come to you with both challenging and exciting news about my proposed changes for the Butterball company to meet the modern world

DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.

Instagram story with text: Today is the beginning of the end for Somali gang violence in Mpls And a post from Trump truth social

Text Instagram story: To be clear east African male violence and crime has been issued since I was a college student. Many gopher alumni can relate you can get and email from the school nearly every day about mugging or rape by the same people described above. However nothing has been done to systematically remove the root cause of this crime. Until now with the full attention of the President. I love Mpls and want to see this town grow and be successful

I’m sure he offers to pay them. Not sure he actually does.

Doug Jones will enter 2026 Alabama governor’s race Campaign paperwork is to be filed this week.

It’s official. @dougjones.bsky.social will run against Tommy Tuberville for Alabama governor. www.al.com/life/2025/11...

Anyway. We are paying like hell for our car culture. Insurance, cars, car maintenance, road upkeep, the incessant road widening which SHOULD NEVER EVER HAPPEN AGAIN.

I do not want it. I want trains and public transit. I would GLADLY get rid of cars.

But here we are.

Just heard a radio commercial for an app saying the average American spends $5,000 a year on gas. There’s no WAY that’s true even in our car dependent country. Average American drives ~14k miles per year. Even if only getting 20 mpg, that’s 700 gallons of gas/year. Gas doesn’t cost >$7/gal.

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:

Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.

If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.

Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

There are at least two (2) major character deaths the musical is a coward for removing and I would argue it creates a hollow victory where the "happy" ending is far less emotionally satisfying.

I'm sorry (I'm not actually sorry) but every time someone says that Wicked II is too dark I imagine showing up with an earmarked copy of the book like "You know it seems like an awful lot of characters are way too alive for us to be having this conversation"

My last laptop purchase was 10 years ago, I only buy a new cellphone every three years, and I do not own a TV or gaming system. It also sounds like more people are being smarter with their money, which is a good thing.

This is the kind of thing someone in tights and a cape is supposed to prevent

Vaccines themselves are such a metaphor for how the anti-vax demographic views society. If the rest of us didn’t do our part, most of them would be doing a very different risk assessment before declining immunization. They depend on the rest of us getting vaccinated so we stay above herd immunity.

Literally everything but a handful of businesses and the thing we call the economy benefits from us buying less shit.

It's not just "consumer smart" it reduces environmental waste, key materials are often mined in slave conditions. The whole tenor of the article is wrong - why is the economy so dependent on us engaging in mass waste?

I wrote a rom-com that acknowledged covid (Chick Magnet), and that was a... polarizing choice. So I absolutely believe it's getting sublimated into other varieties of loss and grief.

there’s no reforming this abolish prisons

tech companies continually learning people don't want these things

And as a woman, of course, this involved several additional layers of calculation. You can read all about it in my book.

Please I do not want to have to do a forensic analysis of every fucking picture I see please I am begging the universe to make this stop.

Your misogyny, xenophobia, transphobia, homophobia, racism, ableism etc? All parts of the same fucking system. If you hate your neighbor enough you ignore the horrors happening to them until they happen to you. And then you can't fight back because you have no allies. See the police state
