A+ No notes.

I was a teenager when social media was invented.

Within a year, you'd hear 'don't post pictures of you drinking on Facebook because it'll hurt job prospects'

And somehow we've looped to, 'Just because someone's positing nazi shit doesn't mean they shouldn't be in the senate.'

IDK, call me crazy, but I think the presumption that all young men will inevitably spend their days shitposting awful things online may be linked to the "male loneliness epidemic."

Like maybe retreating to anonymity because you can't handle situations that expect empathy is part of the problem.

Also whatever exorbitant price tag they put on this Whitehouse ballroom please know there is absolutely gonna be some money laundering baked in there.

Did they think no one would notice?

I promise you it is possible to find an economic populist who doesn't have nazi tattoos.

Don’t let the frogwater that’s boiling us alive let you skip over this: we murdered another country’s citizens in cold blood, and when their leader objected, we called him a drug dealer and cut off aid to his country. That’s freakish.

We bombed a fishing boat in distress.

I think Luke having a crush on a woman, meeting Leia, realizing they weren't into each other, and just becoming friends with her is a very helpful thing for young boys to see early on.

I fought fascism today, so I am letting myself have Postmates as a treat.

So dangerous that they must be blown into small pieces rather than arrested … unless they are actually captured in which case they may go home with a warning. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/18/u...

I will admit when the Epstein Files first became a talking point, I was like, 'we already know he's a pedo and his followers don't care, what could possibly be in there that'll matter.'

But like at this point... something is clearly in there that they think will matter.

Genuinely comical how much Evangelical Right Wing Christians would hate Jesus if they met him.

Everyone who voted to confirm this idiot should be deeply shamed forever. And never trusted to make an important decision in their lives.

The reality of Kavanaugh stops: American citizens dragged, tackled, beaten, tased, and shot by immigration agents. Citizens held in the rain while in their underwear. A pregnant citizen's door blown off while Kristi Noem watched. Important story by @nicolefoy.bsky.social of @propublica.org

I feel like it's less that we're frogs who got slow-boiled and more like we're frogs who got thrown directly into boiling water, and some of the frogs were like 'let's get out of this boiling water,' and the rest were like 'nah.'

Not a single person from the 2020 Dem Primary should run again. If you didn't have the juice to beat Biden, you don't have the juice.

Get out of the way.

I should clarify this is sung to the tune of Moon River

Sometimes I accidentally type "me" instead of "my," and then when I proofread, it sounds like my characters are mischievous leprechauns.

The main thing I learned as an adult is that not enough people saw and understood "Marge vs The Monorail" as children

It is literally the only use case where they can find a pathway to profit.

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

SOUP WEATHER!

This explains so, so much about the modern political climate.

Just remembered how good Parasite is.

Also, observationally, they seem to be the least happy. They have everything, and they're unable to figure out a way not to be miserable. You don't want their life. And neither do they.

We built an economic system that rewards heartlessness. As a result, the cruelest people have the most money and the most power.

Do not for a minute buy into their entitlement. They're not smarter than you. They haven't worked harder. They're just greedier and more selfish.

“No Kings” is great , but we really don't get a functioning democracy back until we internalize, bone deep, the instinctive response to this and every other statement like it: “I don’t care what that rich guy thinks.”

Make it your morning affirmation. Say it ten times at the top of every hour.
