The only thing worse than talking about the weather is having someone recount a conversation about the weather.

Trump’s ballroom is yet another sign that we’re living in a dictatorship.

I’m so glad my MIL is about to move out. I’m washes dishes and tidied up the house, but I’m super tired of finding things WHERE THEY DON’T BELONG.

It really stresses me out when I don’t know what the plans are. I know there’s something going on next week, but I don’t know exactly what or when. I feel like shutting down and crawling under a blanket. I wish I had that luxury.

I’m tired of having to tell my partner’s mom (who’s living with me temporarily) that if she wants me to do something for her, she needs to actually ASK me to do it, not just hint or talk around the thing. And also she needs to give me sufficient time to mentally prepare for the task.

The satellite radio station that we have on for background noise: “This isn’t background noise, it’s the main event!”
Me: 🤣

I did not think that I would have to tell a grown adult that they needed to make sure they didn’t run over the cord of the electric lawnmower. 🤦🏻

My partner’s mom had ALL DAY to get things together to take to the storage unit and find the key. Now she’s taken an hour putting things in my car and looking for the key. This was supposed to be a quick trip. 🤬

What upsets me the most is that she loaded up my car before finding the key.

6 days after Soviet troops invaded Czechoslovakia in 1968, a Prague paper published these “10 Commandments”:
‘When a Soviet soldier comes to you, YOU:
1. Don’t know
2. Don’t care
3. Don’t tell
4. Don’t have
5. Don’t know how to
6. Don’t give
7. Can’t do
8. Don’t sell
9. Don’t show
10. Do nothing’

I got a cold sales call voicemail at work today. At the beginning, I could hear the guy say under his breath “good lord.” 🤣

I wasn’t going to call him back anyway…

Our HR person doesn’t seem to understand why I don’t have a problem with setting a stronger password, but I do have a problem with installing a work app on my personal cell phone. 🙄

I swear another kid was humming Mario music while running around.

One of the kids was screaming because she didn’t want to fall down the last 4” of the slide. 🤦🏻

I’m hanging out at a mall while my car is being worked on. The only place I’ve found to charge my phone is by the play place, which is full of screaming children. 😤

Ok, so Republicans just introduced a 900 page bill none of them have read. But my team is going through it line by line and on this 🧵you can see the hidden provisions we found. Will update all day.

1/ NEW Medicaid cuts, so now 17 million - instead of 16M - lose health care.

Viktor Orban banned pride events in Hungary, the people took it as a challenge and just had the largest pride march in their country's history.

If you use AI to create your art, your story, your whatever, I immediately know you don’t care about making things — you only care about selling them.

It is decreed.

full blown police riot in progress. never let them reframe this.

This headline is misleading. All the SC said is that the woman can sue, not that her claim has merit.

Spoilers for Andor:

Part of me wants to see Dedra Meero show up as a recovering imperial serving the New Republic, as we saw in The Mandalorian.

Me, after watching the finale of Andor: 🥲

Spoilers for #Andor

Bix’s message to Cassian: “When we’re done, I’ll come find you.”

Me, knowing what happens in Rogue One: 😭

Andor is the Star Wars thing you always knew could be done but never thought it would. Give it all the awards.

Can't stop thinking about how ANDOR decided that the Star Wars universe canonically has trashy daytime talk shows and right-wing cable news

Reposting this excellent and highly relevant clip as I wait to watch Andor

Andor spoilers, kinda:

The memorial of the Tarkin Massacre and the Empire building a police station right next to it feels like a reference to George Floyd Square.

I think it’s important that the show included the line so that apologists on social media can’t try to say it wasn’t that.

Also, the way he goes into the other room, and you only realize later that there was no door between them, so he could hear the whole conversation. That gets me. If they weren’t all such terrible people, I might feel bad for him.
