It’s basically Deep Space Nine.

Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.

It's important to track how many citizens are kidnapped by ICE. But I'll keep hammering the point that it simply does not matter if someone is native-born or undocumented — NO ONE deserves to be brutalized by glorified rent-a-cops in a fascist state. There are no "innocent" victims. Just victims.

I'm not the first to say it, but holy hell - Dinklage is a generational talent. He's phenomenal. I'm hope he works just as much as he wants to, but if he has a passion project someone should fund it. I'd like to see him win an Oscar. Also The Lowdown is a surprise in the very best way.

And people tell me the libs have no knack for messaging.

It's kind of hard to live your dream of being John Wick when the opposition is an inflatable frog.

Normally people don’t stress much about the odds of giving up six runs in a single inning, but I’m a Mariners fan and that’s its own kind of generational trauma.

Tried to get my real ID. I had my license, my SS card and my birth certificate.

I was not allowed to get my real ID because my birth name is different than my married name. Now I have to go dig up a marriage certificate. You know who wouldn’t have to do this? A man.

Never change your last name.

I'm so tired of hearing that we need to "teach our students how to use AI" when the thing they most need to use it is a critical-thinking skill set that can only be acquired by NOT using it. I'm tired of hearing that it's inevitable. I'm tired.

"I can't brainstorm without ai" "I can't draw without ai" "I can't write without ai" "Ai summarized it for me cause it's too hard of a read"
So what exactly /can/ you do? Because you sound fucking useless to me

There's no gray area to who gets rights.

It's shitty to suggest we oppress anyone, period, but pragmatically, once you've scapegoated one community, you've invited the vampire in to un-people more communities.

That's how you sit there wondering why the leopard ate your face, too.

Nah. We aren’t abandoning trans people ever

Although no one does dashing fuckboy like Grant (so much that he's made a career out of it), I do appreciate that for once he gets to play a reasonable intelligent person with an actual clue and a workable plan in this truly bonkers film.

This is genuinely the news every day

Co-sign. We've started roasting a whole bunch of chicken legs instead. Seeing a giant plate of roasted drumsticks is very satisfying and they taste delicious with all the other traditional sides. We've converted several people to our apostate ways in recent years too.

I work as an elder and hospice caregiver, which I am oddly passionate about. I can love on them shamelessly and no one complains about my codependence. It's a win-win situation. Many of my caregiving colleagues complain about the repetitive questions and, sometimes reactions, of the elderly, especially when those patients happen to read the newspaper, especially with the current downward spiral of our country — as if these people haven't lived through enough horror... I love my dementia peeps, but sometimes wonder if there's a Guinness Book World Record for how many times an hour a dementia patient can repeat the same question — it's got to be in the hundreds. At least with small children, they ask different questions. Dementia patients will get stuck on one short question and ask it until you can interrupt their train(carousel) of thought and successfully redirect their attention. That carousel is pretty manic sometimes. A couple days ago, I picked up my mail from the post office and drove over to the nursing home to take (let's call her "Miss Daisy") Miss Daisy out for a drive. Before we took off on our road trip, to the end of The Road and back, in our landlocked little town (Juneau, Alaska), I set my copy of The Onion down in front of her. Over our two-hour excursion, tiny Miss Daisy read that front page at least a dozen times and each time she would snicker, giggle, and guffaw, then put it down on the dash board and, a minute later, discover it anew. I think it was the best afternoon of my life. We don't often hear them laugh and when they do, it's the sweetest thing you've ever heard. ... Thank you, thank you, thank you, for the really important work all of you do. You make the world a better place.

I got permission to share this, and I'm extremely grateful for that.

The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one.

This email made my year. Read it and you'll see what I mean. People are good.

The kids are 100% accurate and their dumbfounded expressions send me every time.

Hey! How did you get this transcript of our February faculty meeting?

It's the experience of the third smartest person in your high school class arriving at college and having their surface level thinking challenged instead of praised for the first time

Not that that happened to me, I'm just saying it's probably like that for other people

Anyone can become disabled at any time. It’s one of the few minority groups you can always join.

Even if you do everything “right”. Even if you’re young and healthy. Even if you “try hard”

It’s not a moral failing. It’s a part of life. Engage in disability justice.

A white pick up with a sign reading "Quilting Allies" and the slogan "Trans rights or I bites." In the bed of the pick up is a person in an inflatable T-Rex costume with a sign reading "Protect trans kids or I'll eat you!"

Sioux Falls Pride happened today and there are some thing to love about my hometown.

the neighbour who was here yesterday pitching a fit over the length of my lawn came back 10 min ago to tell me that he's been watching news and I should not worry & long as he lives here they will have to go through him first and thing is, it wasn't just Walt Whitman who contained multitudes

My friend and I were at a Groundlings show in LA around 2013 or so & were laughing & commiserating -LOUDLY- about early menopause in the women's room during the break. A stall door opens and out walks Helen Hunt - clearly avoiding eye contact w/ us. My friend and I just fled in mortification.
