Every year on this date I remember this and think about how arbitrary and cruel the universe is - that atomic weapons were used at all, but even more that the decision of who would die changed at the last second for such a banal reason.

democrats are going to be dealing with anti-trans hate until they either

- nut the fuck up and defend these people from bigoted attacks

- concede to every republican attack on the issue, inevitably leading to the total eradication of trans people from all public life

literally the only 2 options

We should ban cars on Halloween every year and expand from there

Yeah we usually have to grab them quickly and revoke their leg privileges (aka purrito them) and even then it's like wrestling an alligator

Also in my experience they just say "under the tongue or on the gums" because it's frowned upon to write "somewhere vaguely in the direction of the mouth" on a prescription label 🤣 even though that's the closest most of us are going to get

Washington Post: “Is fascism bad? The answer may surprise you”

Teen Vogue: “Here are three fun tips you can use this summer to disable an armored personnel carrier”

We get liquid medication for one of my cats in fish/marshmallow flavor! It's the only one he'll take it in, the pharmacist says they use the marshmallow flavoring to mask the bitterness of the med? Idk why or how it works, just that it does

The Right's ability to engineer the conspiracy theories they create is AMAZING (read: horrifying). Like, this was a thing we had ERASED entirely and now it will become exactly the Big Pharma "a treatment makes more money than a cure" conspiracy they've peddled for ages. Cripes.

schumer hasn't said shit

jeffries hasn't said shit

booker? fetterman? schultz? nothin.

pritz: DO YOU MOTHERFUCKERS WANNA START A CIVIL WAR TODAY? IT SOUNDS A LITTLE BIT LIKE YOU WANNA START A CIVIL WAR TODAY

this guy is gonna run whatever's left of the national dems' corpse

I introduce myself as "An asshole from a long line of assholes" to tell people what to expect when they talk to me, not get them to vote for me.

Do not stay at a Hyatt hotel. They're running fake "smoking detectors" specifically as a revenue-generating scheme and arbitrarily fining guests $500.

Standard morning. Got up, made a coffee, found a crow in the living room, striking theatrical poses and showing off to the other birds who have to make do with living outside.

There is a story behind this...

i’m not seeing here in the constitution where it says every single day must be insane

Lotta bad stuff has happened in the past few years, but we can all agree that science's trend of "let's shine a UV light at every animal and see what happens" is an unadulterated good.

Every summer, fate chooses a CEO for the sacrifice. That's the ritual. Picture shows Coldplay cheating CEO, Luigi, OceanGate, and Killer Whales

FB showed me this, and then insta showed me this, and listen, it’s dark, but I’ll allow it

“Oh no, not Bill Clinton” I say as I ready the trebuchet I specifically built to launch Bill Clinton into an active volcano.

If you’d told me a decade ago that the NYT and WaPo would roll over for a Republican president going full fascist while the Murdoch-owned Wall Street Journal went on the attack — and that Bill Kristol was pressing the attack harder than Nancy Pelosi — well, I’d have had you committed.

It is going to sound silly or trite from this inside-it-all perspective but I think it’s worth emphasizing: shit is exceptionally weird right now

PICTURE BOOK IDEA ALERT

The phrase "kitchen-table issues" needs to be shot into the sun, along with all the Dem consultants coming up with this stupid-ass strategy.

Vincent would say something but he is very much a "no thoughts just vibes" dude and also is busy guarding a sock

Liara says hello!

This. Now is the time we should be pushing for the best we can get, not already constructing no-win scenarios that haven't even happened yet. Dare to dream or it can't happen.

Transgender bathroom bill added to Texas flood-relief special session None of the 82 bills proposed Monday, the first filing day of the forthcoming special session, were actually flood-related, according to KXAN-TV, NBC’s Austin affiliate.

has anyone noticed yet that texas is going to pass anti-trans and anti-abortion bills as a part of their flood response

Every once in awhile, I think of my favorite “…the fuck did you just say?” phraseology, which is from Homer’s Iliad, proving we have never, ever changed as a species, only less fancily inclined.

“What nonsense has escaped the barrier of your teeth now?”

i entered last week very skeptical about Epstein conspiracy theories and now I'm wondering if Trump personally walked into the jail and killed him

Turns out that NPR and PBS' pandering to the right still didn't save their funding. Maybe there's a lesson here for media that think that tilting to the right will spare them from accusations of "liberal bias."

We Have to Stop Using Facebook and X to Warn People About Disasters In the early morning hours of July 4th, as the Guadalupe River reached catastrophic heights, city officials in Kerr County, Texas turned to an all-too familiar mechanism for getting the word out to ar...

We absolutely have to stop using Facebook and Twitter to warn the public about things that could kill them - and we need to do whatever it takes to help local and state government break this habit.
