The fairytale of Handsy and Grotesque

In my new love affair with working out, I've met my addictive brain in a radically different setting from the mucky undergrowth that first sprouted it. I learned to be an addict in junk houses, dive bars, apartments with a single stained mattress on the floor as furniture; I've done coke off surfaces I wouldn't even sit on now. I've met WASP-type addicts in recovery whose alcoholism was rather a genteel thing, learned from parents over champagne toasts in Martha's Vineyard, but mine was always grubby and it was always secret: if a room could comfortably grow mushrooms along its dingy grouting, I could get high in it. Imagine my surprise at finding out that I can still get drunk in the fluorescently lit weight room at the Y, even without secrecy, even without liquor. I'm still doing it til it hurts. Til some as-yet-unexplored cave system inside myself floods with a familiar gushing pain, because hurting myself is the only way I've ever been able to know myself.

Dear @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social. Congratulations on your historic victory.

At the risk of speaking for any of my fellow Canadians, please feel free to completely ignore Kevin O’Leary. I think he’s generally reviled in Canada. I’d be surprised if anyone in our entire country would return his calls.

New York millionaires: threatening to flee the city since 2009

what kind of president — no, what kind of human being — turns their back on a medical emergency going on right next to them, and stares into space? oh gee, excuse us for inconveniencing you, you callous fucking pantload.

POP QUIZ: WHO IS THE WORST PERSON ON THE PLANET AND WHY IS IT DONALD TRUMP? MAYBE BECAUSE THE DETERIORATING FUCKWIT (WHO SMELLS LIKE A "RIPE" DIAPER) ALWAYS MANAGES TO ACT LIKE A COMPLETE PIECE OF SHIT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO MY POST IN WHICH I LAY THIS OUT. LINK IS HERE: bit.ly/4omtSpg

The Sociopath-In-Chief couldn't be bothered to even turn his head in the direction of a man in the midst of a medical emergency who collapsed in his office. Completely incapable of empathy, the EPSTEIN Files can't be released soon enough.

He dumped the mother of three of his children in the weeds at Deadminster for a tax break, yet somehow you thought you were special.

I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

I'm losing my mind over how many reviewers are like "GDT's Frankenstein makes you wonder who the real monster is." THAT'S THE STORY! That's the story Shelley wrote!

Opinion | How long does covid booster protection last? A new study offers answers. More evidence highlighting the benefit, and limitations, of covid-19 vaccines

17% at 20.
🏥 ER visits ↓ 45%, 43%, 39%.
💀 Hospitalization or death ↓ 57%, 50%, 34%.

Protection fades but stays strongest where it matters most—keeping people out of the hospital.

Safety? Solid.
A Danish study of 1.5M found no rise in adverse events.

Bottom line: Boosters save

It is sad, but not surprising, that the president of Mexico is wasting her time on frivolous matters like suing the man who groped her.

FOX NATION PATRIOT AWARDS 2025 MELANIA TRUMP SET TO BE HONORED AS 'PATRIOT OF THE YEAR'

Exciting news: First Lady Melania Trump is set to be honored by Fox Nation as Patriot of the Year. I think this was an excellent choice. When I think of all the many Melania patriotism moments, my favorite was when she stood next to the president, and waved a bunch. Congratulations to the FLOTUS.

I love that Mamdani is what the right claimed Obama was: A Muslim socialist born in Africa. The right practically manifested Mamdani into existence.

oh my god they actually did it lmao
