A very fancy judgmental looking cat who's actually a garbage princess.

I realize podcasters forget what they say as soon as the episode is done, but Sarah described Jen's reading habits as a discerning Abyssinian.
Meet Daphne, a show quality aby. She eats out of the garbage and will push fancy kibble aside to get to the cheap stuff.
She'd love weird KU.

Hi authors! Please remember to file a claim!

if you cannot win an election over 3 years away against the most loathsome people in the US while they are doing things like *kidnapping the fucking ice cream man off the street in broad daylight* without a ritual sacrifice of at-risk people, you are not the future of humanity. dream bigger, better.

In 20 minutes , I'll either completely forget this happened or I will take back everything bad I ever said about the ending of Birdaman

Fewer dinosaurs than your average tingler, and admittedly a less satisfying ending, but more of a guy who decided "the best way to connect with a Hallmark audience is this serial killer turtle neck"

(I'm not saying this post is wrong. I'm just adding a public service announcement to this post)

Important note: Finding Mr. Christmas isn't a movie. No. It is a batshit reality show about finding a star FOR a Hallmark movie.

A roller coaster that STARTS a hot firefighter said that he wants to be in a Hallmark movie so he can have a job that matters, then flubbing every line.

Everywhere I've called has seemed very done with this issue. Except PayPal. Paypal guy had no idea what was going on, which tells me more of us should be calling paypal.

The first 100% effective HIV prevention drug is approved and going global An epidemic that's been sustained for 44 years might finally be quelled, with the milestone approval of the first HIV drug that offers 100% protection with its twice-yearly injections. It's a landmark...

Well, I'll be damned.

It's royalty free and there's already six, generic manufacturers lined up.

Call call call. Visa is literally begging us to stop calling and send emails. Calls cost them way more money and they can't use key words to filter them out

"I have a serious job writing music."
"Cool, could you tell me what they're called so I can look them up?"
"...no."

Yeah, it was too bad it didn't work out, but at the same time, it's weirdly nice to talk about the shows *while* we're watching them.

“There will be no amnesty. The mass deportations continue, but in a strategic way,” said Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins at a news conference in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday. “And we move the workforce towards automation and 100% American participation, which, again, with 34 million people, able-bodied adults on Medicaid, we should be able to do that fairly quickly.”

The Trump administration is telling you loudly and clearly that their plan is not to raise your standard of living but to keep enriching the rich, disappear the immigrants, & push your standard of living down to what ours is now.

SINNERS is on Max.

DO NOT allow the credits to squeeze down. There’s more to the story.

The politics are deeper and there's a good discussion to be had on the pros and cons of collecting racial data, but before we talk about those, it should always be acknowledged that they're often very silly and ill equipped to deal with humans

Once someone at my college tried do a survey on interracial dating rates on campus and they worded it so badly that I was in an interracial relationship and Grant, my boyfriend, was not.

If you ever want to spark a conversation with Grant's family, just ask them about trying to fill out race forms accurately. And by "conversation" I mean absolute dogpile on forms that seem to think people can only be one race.

If anything, this makes Mamdani more relatable.

5 Calls Spend 5 minutes. Make 5 calls. Make your voice heard.

Hearing a lot of reports of people getting busy signals / hang ups

A) This is most likely a result of high call volumes, which is good!

B) Try a local office! They count the same as DC calls. Those numbers are also listed on 5calls.org (iOS: click the 3 dots by DC #, Android: click "local office")

Florida’s attorney general, James Uthmeier, a Trump ally who has pushed to build the detention center in the Everglades, has said the state will not need to invest much in security because the area is surrounded by dangerous wildlife, including alligators and pythons. A spokesperson for the attorney general said work on the new facility started on Monday morning.

imagine writing this completely uncritically as if it’s a normal thing for a government official to say

A good night to remind people if you're tongue-tied over calling your reps (*raises hand*) you can type out a script for yourself with everything you want to say (including your name etc) and read it word for word into their voicemail.

That way you don't forget anything!

If you’ve never seen one before, this is a strawberry finch.

it's giving

Two empty tents

An empty table and empty tent beyond it

An empty booth

A row of at least 3 empty booths

Earlier today,when a lot of booths were empty I didn't think much of it. I figured the orgs that rented them would arrive later

Well, it's later, and there are still a LOT of empty booths

Did orgs pull out of sponsorships?

HUGE CROWDS

“A deranged maniac impersonated a police officer and killed lawmakers but if you’re an immigrant be sure you immediately comply with plain clothes people who won’t identify themselves telling you to get in a van”, what a fuckin country
