well I for one am shocked that "every aspect of your life gets worse forever and also look at my marble bathroom" did not turn out to be a winning election strategy

WOW. 81% of women 18-29 voted for Mamdani, 80% for Sherril, and 78% for Spanberger.

Gen Z women aren't playing around.

What???!!? This is awful. As a long-time TV reader and former print subscriber, I feel sick to confront the fact that you were laid off (+ also that there is no one to take up the mantle)

Each year website DailyPortalZ holds a contest where people dress up as something super duper ordinary.

Here's a thread of some of my favorites from the 2025 contest!

I hate when people say AI is "inevitable." no it's not. because despite what they keep trying to tell you, it is not sentient, it does not think. we can just... stop using it.
