Was not prepared for the wave of misogyny that would wash over my social medias due to a Taylor Swift album releasing at the height of pumpkin spice season.

I do weird grocery budget accounting because I'm a dork and my mom taught me to do so growing up and my groceries were up 16% total this week compared to the last time I bought each item, with the oldest item on the list from 5 weeks ago

Incredibly glad I stocked up on meats in my freezer

It’s 2037 and my microwave is prompting me to download the Hot Pocket Plus Pass for $9.99 a month

Outrage Over American Eagle’s ‘Great Jeans’ Ad Was a Conservative Media Creation - Open Measures Open Measures builds accessible and transparent products to contextualize the spread of harmful online information that impacts public discourse and global events.

American Eagle was dragged into an online outrage cycle after conservative media figures claimed that liberals were offended by the clothing company's ads featuring Sydney Sweeney and a denim-themed pun about her "great jeans."

We checked the data. That wasn't true.

The generals are calling them fat man and little boy because of how badly they bombed.

File under "Fuck, I Wish I Thought of That!"

Stephen Miller is a fascist and we need to stop the fascists. The fact that he wants to stop people from calling him a fascist--political speech that has been said about people in every administration of this country for decades--is proof that he is a fascist.

Most of the power authoritarians have is freely given. We should not comply with them in advance.

Trump is far weaker than he looks. So is the GOP. We should draw them out, drain them at every opportunity, and fight for people’s wellbeing at every turn.

We have been sent here to fight for people.

Folks — this is not a normal government shutdown.

Let me explain the stakes and how we got here.

man they are leaking to the *Intercept* that's how mad some of them are

Maybe we can rewrite the “amber waves” and “fruited plain” parts of that song to be about a large abandoned building that Walmart used to lease.

Idiocracy was in the top 10 movies on Netflix so I watched it again. Then the government shut down. Then I read about Speaker Johnson not swearing in Grijalva. Then I learned that Ted Cruz quote about not attacking pedophiles was something he actually said.

I probably could’ve skipped the movie.

It’s that time again

I’m going to write a long essay about this soon, but yesterday morning I woke up to a revelation.

Every time someone has said to me, “you’re talented, but you need to team up with this more famous/popular/connected person in order to succeed on this project…” that project has failed.

I know this is not a real problem but it is 5am and there is a cricket somewhere in or around my nightstand that sounds like an alarm clock and I swear if I find it I am going to fist fight this cricket

If he keeps showing up I’m going to add him to the group chat.

A close up portrait of a raccoon

Did you think I was only going to post one delightful raccoon photo? Think again, friendo! He shows up every night and does not seem to be afraid of me unless I sneeze which is weird but I’m not worried about it!

Oh this looks fantastic!

Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) via Twitter: https://x.com/Vu_Reports/status/1966164297563672695 Tillis has some sharp words for conservative pundits that called for “war” following Charlie Kirk’s death: “What I was really disgusted by yesterday is a couple of talking heads that sees this as an opportunity to say we're at war so that they could get some of our conservative followers lathered up over this. It seems like a cheap, disgusting, awful way to pretend like you're a leader of a conservative movement. And there were two in particular that I found particularly disgusting.” 11:37 AM · Sep 11, 2025

A strong statement from Sen. Thom Tillis.

Months after surviving an assassination attempt, the Hoffman family issued a strong statement condemning the horrific political violence against Charlie Kirk and urging all leaders not to accept this as our reality.

It’s a crowd with a white tent, outside. I saw it because I didn’t realize what I was looking at. So, crowd? White tent? Loooook awaaaay

It’s a compilation of the dumbest things your former high school classmates have ever shared a fb post about. No one missed Jack Thompson, we don’t need to do this again.

Funniest possible person to say nothing bad happened when he was a kid as a result of everyone having guns

Went to see which feral cat had come to eat, found this guy instead.

It probably hallucinates at the same rate as RFK so this makes a certain amount of sense.

I am always on the lookout for large tote bags that fold up really small because I need them for groceries and shopping.
