took a clipboard to the grocery store this morning. this ain’t a fuckin game

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.

this is mesmerizing

At a recent gathering of Rogers Park volunteers, we heard from a neighbor who choked up telling us about their dad turning around and going home when he heard whistles up the street. "One of you may have saved his life that day." It all matters, it really does.

who is following you dorks that you feel the need to repeatedly post that mtg is not on the side of the angels. it feels like spending a lot of time telling people not to eat hams they find on the ground

It’s the weekend y’all come getchu a cold beer!

i would pay $500 to have someone go in and physically extract the "dollop of daisy" song from my head

BABE WAKE UP THEY'RE BAGGING THE FROGS

"Things happen" sometimes, like when you walk into an embassy to apply for your marriage license while your bride-to-be waits outside, but then you get bonesawed to pieces for having exercised freedom of speech as an US-based journalist and have to be carried out in a series of suitcases.

another thing I hate about the time change making it pitch black at 5pm

The Founders were so concerned about bribery that the Constitution forbids it three separate times. Two emoluments clauses ban officials—unambiguously including the president—from accepting things of value, plus bribery is the only named impeachable offense besides treason.

Unprecedentedly corrupt.

It didn’t go far enough. It never went far enough.

They're not saying it because it's not how they feel

this is literally never not accurate

kinda blows my mind that every single sports fan doesn’t own a digital antenna. i get that lots of stuff is on cable but the one time purchase of an antenna has solved so many of my problems

My entire life Republicans’ game has been to stymy, undercut & undermine when Democrats have power so they can point to the resulting failings as evidence progressive policies are dysfunctional & then they get power & aggressively gut every social gain & Dems are still like ‘maybe we can negotiate’

As a society we must find a way to separate antisemitism and hating Dave Portnoy

Raise your hand if you know what happens at supermarkets in lower-income/working class neighborhoods of color when the national understanding is that prices are going up.

Never mind, I’ll tell you: PRICE GOUGING.

My mum just said to me "You should be hung like a horse". When I challenged her over saying such a thing, it transpires she thought it was a punishment horses got. Turns out she's been incorrectly using the phrase since the 90s in various settings

I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago.

is it good when the dems in the house of representatives start calling for the senate to be abolished

I called Senator Schumer. I live in DC and see my neighbors in pain everyday, but the most I can do is yell at some septuagenarian’s voicemail, pls make us a state

Chicago under daily attack by the regime and this weak ass simpleton is talking about some advocacy.

NOW THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!!! 🥳

As your politicians caved in Washington, comrades across Texas came together to support trans healthcare by building out 800 HRT Harm Reduction Toolkits.

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

Mamdani's mother is Mira Nair, 68, and is best-known for being a hugely successful Indian-American filmmaker, with her son actually talking her out of directing Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix in 2004.

Holy shit Mamdani has been winning since he was a little kid

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!

It shouldn’t be forgotten that a big piece of Mamdani’s campaign was simply “cities are cool and lots of people enjoy living in them” which in and of itself dismantles alot of rightwing talking points
