Look, none of us are okay right now. Worth keeping in mind as you post and read posts on here tonight.

A screenshot of Rachel Dratch from SNL. She's a white woman with short dark hair and blue eyes, and she's making an awkward expression that implies, "Sorry I have to tell you this and ruin your good time. But also I'm kind of not sorry about it." I've added a subtitle that reads, "That's AI."

an updated debbie downer sketch but it's friends showing her funny videos and she has to respond like this to every single one like this:

Sometimes I think America lost its footing on the path of righteousness when people stopped saying "up your nose with a rubber hose".

Mix is. Everything?

Patriarchy gonna hate on things that are viewed as loved only by women, and it's especially gonna hate on it when it's made by women.

Gentle reminder that you don't have to fully boycott Amazon, just stop making it your default. Need socks? Lots of places sell socks. Need printer paper? Need rye flour? Many other options.

"This startup only sells through Amazon!"

Okay, buy that but don't buy the sneakers and coffee beans.

hot take: if you're an American, this is not a nuanced issue. you do not need to "listen to Iranian voices" here. you need to tell your leaders to stop bombing a country and killing people. that's literally it.

It is precisely that he is an extraordinary political communicator that makes the guy with the Nazi tattoo, who also quote tweets white supremacists, and hangs out with antisemitic podcasters, so potentially dangerous

Data appears to be from a public facing submission system and "contract" is not implied. Entities may have signed up just because they wanted access to view solicitations. That doesn't mean they "did business with ICE."

I could really do with never hearing about nazi tattoo guy ever again this is not a ‘don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good’ situation it’s an ‘at baseline could we not support candidates with nazi/rightwing connections’ situation.

It is ridiculously easy to miss the scene after the credits in Bridgerton season 4, episode 8, fwiw. Thanks to tumblr for alerting me; I asked a pal and she had missed it too. So you are hereby informed.

"War is not healthy for children and other living things."

- a favorite poster -

I just threw together a website visualizing this ICE contract data! You can browse through the companies and their contracts, and filter them by state micahflee.github.io/ice-contracts/

I’m very upset, but I’ve got nothing of substance to contribute to the conversation on this platform. When you see me posting through it about random stuff, don’t confuse it for apathy.

I'm not going to quote post because I don't want to dog pile.

But when people say, "don't heckle the staff," this isn't 2010.

We're not talking about normal people choosing normal govt staffing jobs.

This is 2026 where we're kidnapping foreign officials and building concentration camps.

If you want an actually functioning democracy, it is actually in our interest to make working for fascists really uncomfortable.

I don't know what to tell you.

People really struggling with the idea that the Iranian government sucks but we shouldn't be bombing them can both be true, eh?

USPS never ever takes mail from my mailbox that's outgoing. I've lived in this house almost 9 years, and when I want to mail something, I have to take it to a mailbox. I've tried, but no matter what I do, the mailguy simply won't take the outgoing mail. Ah well.

SNL putting Jack Hughes on the Connor Storrie episode of SNL is why Heated Rivalry couldn't have been made in America imo. A bunch of Hollywood execs going, "This is nice, but what if we expressed more contempt for our queer and female audience"

your enemies fighting each other can be useful but it doesn't make them your friends. anthropic doesn't want to help with hegseth's apocalyptic fantasy *because they have their own*

you do not, under any circumstances, gotta hand it to them

A beautiful homemade flan

One of the moms of the families I’ve been delivering groceries to asked today if I’d be willing to accept something from her. And she came back with this beautiful flan she’d made to say thank you for helping us. I am crying. People are too kind. This is whom our government is forcing into hiding.

Uhhhh just a heads up for dog owners considering giving their dog an icelandic sheep's horn as a chew: they smell like death once your dog's mouth hits them. Like, someone took a large dumparoonie on your living room floor after they ate mutton. Also like rotting wool. HORRIFIC. Dogs loved 'em.

We should not be hosting the Olympics or the World Cup. This is not a safe country.

whichever Democratic PAC is driving this line of response, may you all develop boils in your armpits that never quite heal, may your beer be warm and tea be cool, may you always have an itch you cannot reach, and may you have the yeast infection from hell

I thought this was a muppet.

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

this is sort of besides the point but sometimes I feel like even the smartest people don't know that being constantly annoyed by something is a choice and it's not always justified just because you feel a certain way.

you wanna know why people with long COVID are insistent about masks so much so that they "annoy" you?
Because there is often no real treatment/care easily accessible for many of us.
Workplaces make it hard for us to earn a living.
Have a little consideration, ffs.

It's this crazy attitude where food is delicious and restaurants are great and the people who create that food and comprise those restaurants don't exist except for our convenience. These people - who are human beings - work VERY VERY hard. And they are VERY REASONABLY terrified. It's a big story.
