Green bottle soju delivers such a sucker punch. It’s the cheapest hangover out there.

I’ve been pipe daydreaming about starting a craft soju distillery for the last year.

Ok never mind, this checks out because as soon as I posted that I realized that’s also exactly how a lot of people view their relationship with their children.

Please correct me if I’m wrong, but this guy really wants a) AI to have rights, and b) himself to still have full authority over his AI even after it has rights?

Ok yes. I can get behind this.

Well this take is way too hot for me.

“Her father is a refugee, and she's achieving glory with the American flag... [And] these people are trying to deport, detain, and deny the next Alysa Liu right now.”

@timmiller.bsky.social reacts to MAGA celebrating Liu’s Olympic win while backing policies that target refugees.

An ICE agent shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, a US citizen and San Antonio resident, in March 2025. Then ICE and the Texas Department of Public Safety covered it up. He was 23 years old. I am calling for a full investigation into this shooting, including why there was an 8-month cover up.

It’s giving middle passage

I only took one sociology class my very first semester of college, but it reshaped how I’ve seen the world ever since.

Do you feel like the public is starting to realize these guys want to control and dictate every last aspect of society? Because it has felt to me as if media coverage has begun shifting from “oh, what a curiosity” to “uh, this is happening…”

This is such, SUCH an ugly chapter in modern history. Not that most chapters are sweet, cuddly bedtime stories. But right now there are way too many villains acting like villains.

UK: Prince Andrew arrested.

South Korea: Former President Yoon sentenced for life.

Brazil: Former President Bolsonaro serving a 27-year sentence.

USA: President Trump demands $10 billion payout from taxpayers.

How are they going to spin it if Election Day rolls around and huge swaths of their own base can’t vote? Please explain to me how it will be Joe Biden’s fault.

“America First” = perpetual Opposite Day.

Yes! I text with my best friends (since age 10) daily & see them often.

My mom has a monthly Zoom call with four of her BFFs from elementary school. My aunt is still close with some school friends, too.

But my dad, husband, brother, & uncle aren’t in any regular contact with school friends.

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones.

Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

I have to say none of the grievance I’ve heard from the right can match the depth of that righteous apocalyptic rage, as you put it, that those of us raised in evangelical Christianity feel on the other side of the realization that it has betrayed every single tenet of the faith to grasp at power.

When mine was 6 she asked, “Can a man marry a man or a woman marry a woman?” I said yes. She said, “Ok,” and went back to the TV. But at least a few bedtimes a month she wants to have long involved conversations about how there will come a point in her life when her father and I are both dead, so.

Feels like Kendrick Lamar introduced the concept of Super Bowl halftime show as political performance art and Bad Bunny is taking that baton and running with it.

This was amazing.

Green Day was my first intro to “music my parents might not want me to listen to” in the ‘90s. When I was 8.

They were the first to make me consider that just maybe Republicans weren’t the moral authorities I’d been led to believe in the ‘00s.

I still put American Idiot on when I’m feeling salty.

this case is maybe the single best example of one of the most destructive tendencies of this court: the tendency to treat their job as a collegiate legal seminar where they operate in hypotheticals rather than deal with the real world as it exists

Just like with Kilmer Abrego Garcia, the biggest sin any targeted immigrant can commit is winning battles — legal or PR battles — against the government, and they just won’t let those losses go

This happens with*everything* now. No matter how grave the crime or one-dimensional the injustice, after four days the hivemind of American punditry decides that the Real Story is how the people upset about it are the real villains.

Yeah. Netflix is supposedly making movies that are easy to follow while simultaneously scrolling your phone. If people don’t have the attention span to watch a real movie, how can they stand watching hours of short form video? Like, don’t they need a second phone to scroll while doing that?

And some of us actually hate video content and are sick of having it pushed on us. I do not want to spend 5 minutes watching what I could read in 30 seconds. Cannot explain how ticked off I get when I click onto a headline and find out it goes to a video only instead of an article.

Jeffrey Bezos is destroying the Washington Post for the same reason Musk destroyed Twitter and Ellison is destroying CBS—oligarchs oppose the free press when if it threatens their wealth and power.

They don’t want normal people to see what is happening in America.

We can all divest from abusers and abuser-apologists.

We can.

It might hurt. It *will* hurt.

But it won’t hurt as much as the abuse hurt the abused.

When I really need a pep talk, I replay Kendrick’s halftime show.

I am begging everyone, don’t ever update your profile pictures. I literally have no idea who half of you are if I’m expected to remember your names.
