twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

Nick Clegg argues lack of fairness because it’s impossible for him to win the game if he has to follow the rules.

White people literally have ALL of Bluesky to do what they want. They can literally create their own server and make it is United Colors of Benetton as they want.

And yet.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Yesterday the streak continued when my neighbor needed to use my oven. We were sitting talking and mid convo she goes "this chair is so comfortable!"

Never marrying beats marrying wrong.

Grocery shopping is literally depressing.

You wanted a sick day

A bold ESPN graphic announces: “ESPN scores most-watched Game 1 of the WNBA Finals in 28 years!” (second only to the 1997 single-game championship). The Phoenix Mercury logo is shown on the left and the Las Vegas Aces logo on the right, with text in red and white reading: “1.9M Viewers | Up 62% YoY. Peak: 2.5M.” Below, another section highlights “WNBA Countdown presented by Google” with 626K average viewers, up 78% year-over-year. At the bottom, it states: “’25 WNBA Playoffs averaging 1.2M | Up 16% YoY.” The source is Nielsen Big Data + Panel.

It's so funny rewatching #Insecure and remembering the all the Twitter discourse in real time.
Oh man you had to be there.

No Dolly, no!

So almost the entire D.C. Council is now meeting being closed doors to negotiate how to proceed on the expanded youth curfew emergency bill. It seems pretty clear they are negotiating legislation behind closed doors, in violation of the spirit of the city’s Open Meetings Act.

You could just talk about Jim Crow. I promise you, there's no need to leave America's shores to talk about life in a fascist state

There will be studies on how people under reacted to this civil war brewing in America. I am both flabbergasted and fascinated by the cognitive dissonance

Growing up

Someone saying "Let's do the fucking news" is the ultimate sign that person has never, ever worked in a real newsroom (the fantasyland of the NYT Opinion section doesn't count)

Christian group ‘deceived’ supreme court about LGBTQ+ research, cited scholars say Exclusive: Experts say Alliance Defending Freedom, arguing to revive conversion therapy, ‘profoundly misrepresented’ their work in case threatening trans and queer youth

ADF are liars.

Just like in Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine—the mifepristone case—ADF used anonymous complaints of harm they found on an anti-abortion forum online.

Again, it's a fucking joke.

The only thing you really need to remember about Chiles v. Salazar is that ADF couldn't find any children harmed by not being able to find counselors who will practice conversion therapy—

so they rely on anonymous complaints on Reddit.

It's a fucking joke.
