Please give me an unironic list of things that have gotten better over the last ten years because Iโ€™m spiraling.

Iโ€™ll start: you can buy an enormous TV from Costco for like $100 bucks now.

I'm preaching to the choir here but I'm dismayed people are still using a site owned and manipulated by an obvious fascist. I think if you'd asked them 5 years ago if they'd use a fascist's social media site they would have said god no, of course not

@theguardian.com this is clickbait journalism. It was a few randos online and now the Right are the ones blowing it up. Stop making it a thing

โ€œThis Sydney Sweeney thingโ€ is like 3 tweets and 5 TikToks from random people. The left is not remotely worked up about this.

The right, however, has been frothing about the nonexistent outrage for days โ€” and more prominent outlets are spreading far more radical and troubling messages.

I'm curious, did he mean like Sherlock Holmes? Or "hombres" like "homies"? I must know !

If they mean Sherlock, I'm listening to the original 1940s play recordings and I promise this little intern they need to get Sherlock's name out of their filthy fuckin mouths

@marshadecordova.bsky.social enjoyed you on the @quietriotpod.bsky.social the other day. I canvassed for you in Battersea in 2017 and am glad it's all going well โค๏ธ

This is especially tragic as it was so avoidable. She wasn't listened to by so many doctors. #listentowomen

I've got to the stage with French (mid-intermediate/ 80s) where the conversations are actually surprisingly witty and amusing (e.g. a son dressing his father up in a princess costume & explaining it was he who taught him not to care what others think !) . Keep pushing and it might get better ?

I'm looking forward to seeing your standup here in Belgium! Warning though, you do need to carry ID on you at all times, that just applies to everyone (although of course, the policing of this is racialised in some communities).

Genuinely thought this was something to do with Judith Butler and was very in favour. I like the reference anyway!!

Hoping for a Butlerian Jihad, but will settle for a Papal one.

I get that Trump and several of his family are awful, but this seems like an unnecessary personal attack. families are messy. Lots of uncomfortable standing& smiling together at weddings after shit has gone down historically. Of all the things to criticise about the Trump dynasty, this seems silly.
