If you don’t want me to rant about how I was a satire truther and Taylor Swift confirmed in an interview that she’s written these songs as a social critique, do not start a conversation with me for at least the next seven days…

Was I “mean”? Or did I just choose to redirect everyone’s attention to the malignant behavior that you’re trying to hide (unsuccessfully) behind a straw man argument?

Whatever Stephanie Garber put in the Caraval series, she tripled the dose in the OUABH series.

He was an advocate of violence against his political opponents and took positions like “the civil rights act should be repealed,” “the Jews are replacing white people,” and “Ukraine is an evil country and we should let them die.” Kirk’s entire career played a nontrivial role in getting us here.

The orgy of liberal pundits tripping over each other to praise Charlie Kirk—when he caused so much violence to the lives of Black and LGBTQ people (including me specifically)—is telling about why the Dems can’t build an antifascist coalition.

I don’t need to be told not to celebrate violence or speak ill of the dead but all this hagiography of Kirk is just absurd. He was a vicious, bigoted troll who devoted his life to making things as shitty as possible for anyone who wasn’t like him. He made the discourse worse in every possible way.

Pundits are focusing on Kirk’s willingness to debate people while studiously ignoring the people whose basic humanity he was willing to debate

I was recommended a series and after reading the first two books realized the plot is essentially “what if Bella, Edward and Jacob became a throuple”- 48 hours of my life that I can never get back.

There’s a huge difference between common literary tropes and a fanfic with name changes.

I’ve Dr. Frankenstein-ed several abominations in my lifetime but this one is a masterpiece.

Look at his little butt 😭

YouTube video by Scott Santens UBI is like a lifeboat and COVID-19 was like a super typhoon. Contextualize 2020-2022 trial results.

There have been a slew of anti-UBI pieces recently based on findings from a few pilots that took place in 2020, 2021, and 2022 that fail to even mention the pandemic or just seem to handwave it away. It seems quite clear that COVID and stimulus served as confounding variables during those years.

Sobbing because I just realized the color I picked for the kitchen door is the same color that my grandma’s living room used to be 😭😭😭

The Unhoneymooners needs to be made into a movie.

“There’s evidence that these initiatives are failing miserably, but not for us… we’re obviously the exception.”

Trump is in those files, and that’s why he’s fighting so hard to keep them hidden.

We have to campaign on the issues that matter

Lower grocery prices

Lower taxes for the poor and middle income

Universal basic income and Medicaid for all

Trans rights

Human rights

Declaring a fake emergency as an excuse to deploy the military to police civilians is one of the most canonical examples of authoritarian takeovers.

Overseas, people see clearly what Trump is doing. Here in America most people — especially those with power or influence — are in denial.

I save about $60/week by not stopping at Starbies. I had fully convinced myself that “bc of the rewards, it pays for itself” further proving that I still haven’t mastered basic algebra 🫣

Also just to 🤡 for a moment- she posted that the same day New Heights announced a “special guest” on their 8/13 pod with a background that looks like her tour fit.
Also that’s Annie Oakley’s birthday (who was from Ohio).
🤞🏼 Hoping for a lovergirl album ie “Cowboy Like Me” 🥹

Taylor Swift has acknowledged the color orange. Start preparing your bank account now, friends.

NASHVILLE: “Why are we giving a billionaire free land? Please listen when we say WE DON’T WANT THIS.”

15 residents spoke against @GovBillLee & Musk’s private Teslas-only tunnel.

0 spoke in favor of it

4 non-residents voted to gift the world’s richest man the land anyway

“We don’t need the votes” still haunts me…

I’m taking brick and mortar businesses entering the social influencer labor market as a sign that my theory is correct and all those “small” businesses who took advantage of loan forgiveness during the pandemic were just overleveraged bc of poor management and not struggling bc of lockdowns/curfews.

“You’re high on my bitin’ list”

I KNOW THAT’S RIGHT Y’ALL

Even with visible differences in pixelation, she was exactly 0% interested or curious about the use of de-aging tech to complete plot callbacks.

That lack of interest/awareness is 100% related to their generation being targeted by AI scams. Some combo of implicit bias and low media literacy.

CGI/green screened scenes of a younger Adam Sandler that were not filmed during that period or part of the original production.

What was most notable was the missing “thought” between ‘I don’t remember that from the original’ and ‘what I am seeing on screen was altered’

I’m getting more concerned about the older generations’ inability to discern between generative and real content.

I watched Happy Gilmore 2 with my mom this weekend. She’s seen the first movie with pretty good recall yet she struggled to differentiate between clips from the original movie and

Convinced our nation’s economy is strung together with pantyhose and crazy glue solely based on how 80% of business leaders appear to be incapable of communicating effectively.

The ‘scope’ field on my RFP form is for you to tell me what service you want and you just typed “need a campaign”

The thing that I find most infuriating about horrific cases (like the Idaho 4’s) is that there are ALWAYS warning signs when a person is a liability and people/institutions/systems continue to provide these predators with ample opportunity to act out their proclivities.

Oop, the only part I got wrong is that she’s a sweet person.

She’s manipulative and emotionally abusive and at this point I’m hate watching the remaining episodes in this season.

There needs to be a class action lawsuit against the casting producers.
