A List of Things Said to Have Been Ruined by Women

the Muppets have been real quiet since the Louvre heist

Copayments not counting towards annual deductibles makes absolutely no sense. From the bottom of my heart I hate our health insurance system.

aht aht cook a meal for WHO? you want us to quarter some soldiers in our kitchens while we're at it?

The president of the United States posted a video of him defecating on the American people. Many in my profession normalized it. This is a big reason why we are where we are.

Des Moines Public Schools Superintendent Ian Roberts detained by ICE agents The superintendent of the largest school district in Iowa has been detained by federal immigration officials. Superintendent Ian Roberts of Des Moines Public Schools was detained Friday morning, accor...

What the fuck?

Triptych of panels showing the progress of a graffiti mural: 1. Superman punching an ICE goon 2. A vandal has covered Superman in black paint, so now a black void is punching the ICE goon 3. The artist returned to paint Krypto the Superdog pissing on the ICE goon. (Personally, I think the third panel is even better than the first one.)

Beautiful artwork showing an ICE brown shirt getting punched by Superman, and vandalism of the mural getting fixed by having Krypto piss on the gestapo piece of shit.

Mind you, it use to be normal to put pictures of yourself and your loved ones to display. Family photos, vacation memories, yearbook photos. Is it weird that your grandparent’s house is full of family photos? We need to bring it back!!

Well, a minute after I posted this, a number of MPD and one other fed car (didn’t get what agency) raced over to Dupont Circle.

It seems someone “harassed” some of the National Guard. I didn’t see what happened.

Seems like half the NG at Dupont are carrying M4 carbine assault rifles.

Washington DC fucking rules

To reiterate: there is no legitimate justification for this. Violent crime is at a 30-year low in D.C.

So cute!!!

Loved lambda this year!!! My cohort was so amazing and @nisishawl.bsky.social was an incredible workshop leader!!

More attention here please.

NYC is on track to receive * 2 million * fewer international visitors this year than previously projected. Significant economic blow. Direct result of Trump’s crazy policies.

"He's a piece of shit, but let's get the political science stuff out of the way," Steven told me when I asked if he thought support of Tesla could be considered apolitical. "Elon Musk has platformed white supremacists and antisemites on X. He got rid of all the moderation. He put back accounts that were clearly neo-Nazis. He's changed algorithms to promote that type of hate. Him and DOGE did massive cuts in the government, including our civil services. He's cut cancer research. Did I mention he was a giant piece of shit?" "He's cut our aid to Africa, which Will result, without exaggeration, in millions of women and children and innocent people dying. Millions," he said. "I'm not a big fan of people who give the Hitler salute. I mean, I'm kind of fussy like that. He gave it twice at Trump's inauguration," he continued. "He's a Nazi. And he cheats at video games. You have another question?"

lol at this response to a “man on the street” interview with protestors at the Tesla diner

also, the idea that marc andreessen had to put up with meaningful bigotry is truly brain breaking. the year andreessen made his first fortune, Amadou Diallo was killed in cold blood by the NYPD for looking like the wrong black guy

The Republican platform is simple: they want to sexually abuse children, and they want you to pay for it.

France will officially recognize a Palestinian state in September.

Y’all — this is a real post… @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social has absolutely fried cuomo… someone help this man…

This is a poll tax.

Today's protest had piñatas of the ice agents that keep terrorizing our streets

One of the first to arrive at No Kings in Georgetown Delaware was this 101-year old woman!

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.

A beautiful older golden retriever with a white face

A very adorable little Boston terrier wearing a floral harness

A beautiful fluffy golden retriever wearing a bandana that says "dogs not DOGE"

A large black and white dog and a small black dog wearing a shirt that says "I pee on fascists"

Cute dogs at #NoKings, Winchester, MA! 🐶

That was what needed to happen today.

Fascists depend on the appearance of strength, and they have never looked weaker.

Good job, friends.

I don't think this is 3.5% of Ann Arbor, but this is what 3.5% looks like in a smaller town.
