it's not that i ever doubted that being a barista was a skilled position, but my year-long effort to try to produce a half-decent latte at home has convinced me that a good barista is easily more skilled than virtually every c-suite executive on the planet

Looking forward to her James Randi arc

this guy started the video with his qualifications as if there was any chance i wouldn’t trust this man about clocks

going on twitter now is like the dark world part of link to the past, where the shape of things is roughly the same only now instead of the friendly villagers there's some demihuman freak snarling at you going "welcome to the village of assholes!! we hate you!!" also the trees shoot bombs now

It is so, so important to learn to understand the difference between A Gross Thing That Freaks Me Out, versus A Thing Which Causes Actual Harm In The World

because as long as you can't navigate the difference, your disgust is a lever that can be used to manipulate you

Proposing something too cruel for the position composed primarily of psychopaths

this isn’t even the right stereotype about Bluesky! the actual legit criticism is that the core user base *only* talks about things like Senate inside baseball and not, like, movies or pop culture

it’s so wild that they’re going this hard for Josh Shapiro, a man whose position on Israel makes him totally unelectable, and who covered up a woman’s murder bc his best friend did it but I wouldn’t expect any less from one of the worst accounts ever

Really strange that they had the exact number needed to pass it too.

welcome to zombocom, this is zombocom (zohran campaign meme)

The democrats voted to destroy what’s left of the judiciary last night btw.

The filibuster is so fundamentally anti-democratic that forcing the authoritarian party to kill it so that they could keep taking health care and food away from Americans was probably the cleanest out from the damn thing, yet this Cones of Duneshire-ass opposition party loves rules more than wins.

Andy Pages is on a Forrest Gump like run this year… hit the comebacker Orion Kerkering threw away… World Series saving catch in game 7 in bottom of ninth…. Unwittingly helped foil a gambling scheme by swinging at a ball in the dirt.

Watching libs Beginning to See

Tonight was a very bad night.

Remember when they said the reason they caved in March was so they could get a better deal in September lmao

If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.

Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

Chuck, portrayed by Paul Scheer, a member of the Good Place Committee: "He's got a point. The fair thing for us to do is just keep giving up more and more stuff we want, unilaterally, until this demon is finally happy."

Democrats, coming off a historic national protest against fascism and a country-wide electoral sweep:

I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago.

“I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time.”

esquire article with headline “why does gen z love rumours so much?”

every generation loves Rumours. it’s fucking Rumours

(final thought as i'm swiftly slain by a band of ninja assassins) kind of a crazy amount of ninjas to hire for this

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

Guy with a sandwich: “Fuck you armed agent of the state.”

Ivy League: “I will eat my poop and thank you for it because I’m scared of a Fox News personality cosplaying as a lawyer”

I guess I need to apologize to the writers of Alien: Prometheus. it turns out scientists really do touch everything like that

oh so these people do pay attention to who politicians follow on social media, they just don’t care that the vice president follows a bunch of actual neo-nazis

this is legit one of the saddest things i have ever seen
