I’ll give the Trump administration this: it’s brought millions of Americans to the realization that they’d rather be annoyed by the left than murdered by the right.

Ew, dude. Fine to make a wry (respectful!) comment to acknowledge a failed flirtation, but whiny "guess I'm not good enough" is the passive aggressive form of negging.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Sir, the sane voters of the United States want ICE abolished. There is no “clean up the agency,” that can fix what has happened. They murdered people, abused and assaulted immigrants and citizens. It’s too late to fix. It must be abolished.

A romantic dinner for two. One diner is a cat. They have a big spaghetti dish in front of them. A glass of red wine is to their right. It is unclear if the second diner across from them is also a cat. But what would be so strange if it were?

Happy Valentine’s Day ❤️

Today's attempt to hold myself together with plastic bricks

A close up of a cat named Greg’s big dumb face.

SERIOUSLY. No shade on people who are into that and/or v*re, but those are not my proclivities and I've only ever clicked "pls stop", but here we are with Bluesky insisting in spite of all available evidence that what I really need is MORE eccentric kink.

I don't know what Bluesky thinks "show less like this" means, but it doesn't show less like that.

this was a little silly but at least believable after one term of trump, but is transparently flimsy after two.

donald trump is forever. the forces he represents are not just going to vanish like a dream. democrats need to contend with this fact to find a way out of the pit.

It honestly aches my heart the way we'll do things that they obviously hate and cannot possibly comprehend the benefit of, but then within hours or days it's all "ugh you're weird and mean sometimes but you're still my person, here have some more trust"

valentine's day isn't just for couples, it's also a day to celebrate love. for instance, i would love it if housing prices came down.

"The Dow is over 50,000!"
Yeah, my electric bill is 30% higher, my food costs are 20% higher, my rent went up 15% and my wages have been stagnant for years.. But please, keep telling me how great things are... for your wealth friends.

When they make movies about this in the future they will tone down the cruelty of ICE and border patrol, like Spielberg did with Goeth in Schindler's List, because no one will believe they were actually this monstrous.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: baby monkeys in overalls jumping on a bed, having fun. Panel 2: one of the monkeys falls over the edge of the bed, reaching out as he falls. Panel 3: one of the other monkeys, now looking super buff and badass, grabs him by the arm to save him heroically. “Monkey Stronger Together.”

it's not the worst thing AI is doing but: i love cat videos so much and it's so annoying that people are posting ai cat videos now

Republican France would like a word, citizen...

They literally dragged a minor employee out of a Target as he was wailing that he was a US citizen, roughed him up in their car, and then dropped him off bloodied and bruised in the freezing cold a couple of miles away, so miss us with this.

It ain’t over til Minnesota has ICE’s battle flag

A pre-cooked rotisserie chicken from Safeway is $9.99. If I bought one every day for a year, that's $3,646.35. The average price of a house in the United States is $400,000. It would cost about 109 years of daily rotisserie chickens to buy that house.

(additional options for those with slightly higher budgets, too)

London is cool, but Mordor is a GREAT value for the tourist dollar:

Good news: the cats will find you when it is Your Time.

A very fluffy siamese-appearing cat that looks like two huge blue eyes in an explosion of fur.

Everybody stop what you're doing and look at this cat I'm sitting
